US senators in a key committee have agreed on a draft resolution backing the use of US military force in Syria. The measure to be voted on next week sets a time limit of 60 days on any operation. The draft document also bans the use of any ground forces in Syria. According to a copy of the draft resolution the senators wish to restrict the operation to a "limited and tailored use of the United States Armed Forces against Syria". The resolution states that "the president may extend" a 60-day operation "for a single period of 30 days" if he obtains further specific Congressional approval. "The authority granted, but does not authorize, the use of the United States Armed Forces on the ground in Syria for the purpose of combat operations," the statement added.
