A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Obama sends Congress draft for war authorization | 11 Feb 2015 | President Barack Obama has officially asked Congress for war authority to fight Islamic State militants, opening a debate on Capitol Hill over the extent of U.S. military involvement in fighting the group Obama says poses a “grave threat” to U.S. national security. Obama's request doesn't rule out ground troops, calling for their use against the Islamic State in “limited circumstances” including the use of special ops forces to take military action against the group's leadership. His authorization includes no geographic limits and would expire in three years, unless reauthorized. [The US anti-war Left: Missing since January 2009.]
