Authorization Process itself is problem - Corker - Not a single Democrat endorses an authorization for military force - Republicans are now looking at a limited authorization of military force - hearing will be helpful to have a strategy in Syria and Iraq that is in our national interest
Baghdad and Erbil - "jumped out at me" - Every single thing the USA is doing in Iraq is enduring (Corker is presenting political agenda with that reference. I can't take anything he says seriously now.) to the benefit of Iran - Iran has permeated the parliament in Iraq - Iranian led Shia militia dealing with ISIS - want to hear the thoughts of the witnesses about that - How will the USA personnel be effected if there are Shia militia operating with them - Allepo air exclusion zone
Menendez - the 2001 military authorization is not effective today - we have to make sure the new AUMF doesn't regress into 2001 AUMF. The President's request support personnel - what every Democrat refuses to do is give this or any other president an open ended permission for war - we need to how long the usa will be there and what the exit strategy will be implemented and what will the war look like - Dempsey stated there is no time frame but mission specific frame
Kerry, Carter and Dempsey witnesses
