You are not completely accurate in what you say.

President Obama tried to con the congress and submitted an AUMF that did not allow him to use any ground forces anywhere. THAT would have given him cover should this crap continue. He could just say that congress will not allow him to do it.

Actually, his own party was against his con job because they felt it was much more restrictive.

Trust me, this President is much much more interested in having a legacy of not using troops than he is interested in actually protecting the nation. A terrible thing to say but after last week I am convinced that is true, and I also believe what Sharyl Attkisson has said (former investigative reporter for CBS and well respected journalist)........she says..

""I have talked to people who have worked in the Obama administration who firmly believe he has made up his mind, I would say closed his mind, they say, to the intelligence they try to bring him about various groups he does not consider terrorists even if they're on the U.S. list of designated terrorists," Attkisson said. "I don't know the reasoning for it -- I’ve only been told by those who have allegedly attempted to present him, or been in the circle that has attempted to present him, with certain intelligence that they said he doesn’t want it, he said he doesn't want it or he won't read it in some instances."

Attkisson has a long and great career and she and CBS parted ways because she claimed and filed suit against Atty Genl Holder for the Justice Department hacking her computer. This WH does not like her, but remember her name...you WILL hear from her in the general election. This will take you to her new website...
