“WASHINGTON - Ever since President Obama ordered American warplanes to begin bombing terrorist targets in Iraq and Syria last year, members of Congress have insisted on having a say in the matter.

“Now, six months after he sent the military back into combat to take on the terror group calling itself the Islamic State, Mr. Obama has acquiesced and sent a measure to Congress asking it to formally authorize what he has been doing all along. And now that they have gotten what they asked for, few in Congress seem all that enthusiastic about the prospect.”

“One side thinks the president'Â€Â™s request for war-making powers is too brazen and even reckless. The other side thinks it is too spineless and probably ineffectual.

'I haven't found any colleague who'Â€Â™s been enthusiastic about it.'”
