Obama requests Congress for military force against ISIS


Feb 12
US President Barack Obama has sent Congress a request for authorization to use military force in the campaign against the Islamic State group. In a letter to Congress yesterday, he urged lawmakers to show the world that they are united in their resolve to counter the threat. The President said, he is committed to working with Congress on bipartisan authorization for the use of military force.

The proposed authorization for the use of military force would limit operations against the militants to three years and bar US troops from what it terms enduring offensive ground combat.
