The President asks Congress for a War Authorization

I guess enough complaining has finally reached the White House and they have conceded that they must do something about the Radical Islamic terrorists called ISIS or ISIL (whatever alphabet combination you want to avoid saying the word "Islam").

As I suspected, he did not follow my counsel and war plan that I shared in "Get used to it," so let me interpret for you his plan and his request before Congress.

1. Let's not do anything to mess up my negotiations with Iran.
2. Let's put some American boots on the ground over there. They should be sizes 10 thru 12 ½ only. No troops in them, just the boots.
3. Let's limit the time for this activity so the next president (probably Republican) can't do anything different than what I want.
4. Congress should endorse my plan in such a way that it adds political points to my agenda and helps in the fundraising program for my future presidential library.
5. All Muslim Brotherhood friends of mine should be classified as "good guys." This includes my Hamas friends who fight Netanyahu for me. They will be the intelligence unit that selects the targets.
6. We should send some heavy weapons to fight ISIS, but not the ammunition that works in those weapons. That way my I can say to my far left friends that I didn't hurt anyone.
7. Let's increase the drone operations over there, but only Susan Rice can use it from a console in her office.
8. I also need a slush fund of under-the-table money to influence certain groups or individuals. I can't tell you who they are or else it wouldn't be a real "under-the-table" thing. I'll keep it safe in my Oval Office.
9. Besides the words "Islam" and "Muslim," let's not use the words "destroy," "annihilate," or" victory" when referring to this operation.
10. Finally, let's agree to release the other Gitmo detainees for "time served" and "good behavior."

According to press report, members of Congress have mixed feelings about the president's plan. But most of the analysts believe the president will get the authorization he is seeking from the Congress although the Justice department doesn't think he needs any authorization to do anything he wants.
