Not sure I'm keen on the restrictions - time limit and limited numbers - especially when combined with unlimited geography. I certainly think there should be no time limit and I don't see why additional geographic areas couldn't be added over time if needed. Would love to hear what others think.

Depends on one's point of view and how you define "big no-no". It's definitely not normal protocol.Still remember reading about that. If anyone can elaborate, essentially congress invited israeli pm to speak in the US without the White House's knowledge? Isn't this a big no-no?
I have no problem with going to war against such fiends, they barley classify as humans.

I believe he would only increase the air strikes and maybe send in some more 'advisors' right now they seem to be getting fought off without an overwhelming presence of Americans if we went in by ground we would whips them out in a monthI agree with you. However, upon further reflection through the day, I think the President has put together a proposal which will not be supported by the left or the right, and will therefore not be passed. I would also be reluctant to change the proposal to something other than what the President asked for, because I don't believe he would execute it as written. So, although I support the general idea of taking on ISIS more vigorously, if I were in Congress I would have to vote against this proposal.

It's sort of nice to see the Executive Branch somewhat acknowledging they have duties with regard to the War Powers Act, even if they completely missed the timeline requirements. (Arguing the fight against ISIS is authorized by the AUMF against Al Qaeda is rather weak, since the groups are sworn enemies.)

As a disclaimer, this comment has nothing to do with political parties or as an agreement with either:
As a purely political move, the White House made a great move, they have been under fire recently from media and members of Congress for being to soft and not making any moves since Jordan stepped up their efforts. By submitting this proposal the White House has, for lack of a better term, put the ball back in the hands of Congress. It will be interesting to see how the debate goes and how many in Congress start to back peddle as they measure public opinion.
