No end to Americas Wars Without End: A Tuesday meeting between President Obama and top lawmakers, including the Republican leadership who now control both chambers of Congress, was used to discuss plans for passing a war authorization bill that would give congressional blessing to the U.S. war in Iraq and Syria that began in the summer of 2014. According to lawmakers who left the meeting, language for an authorization for use of military force (or AUMF) against Islamic State (or ISIL) militants who operate and control territory on both sides of the Iraq/Syria border could be sent to Congress within weeks. As Politico notes, the topic of authorizing the continuing air war against ISIL emerged as a rare area of cooperation in a year that has so far featured several veto threats. Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), who now chairs the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, indicated progress and said language from the administration could come soon.
