    As the War Machine Keeps Turning

    http://www.wthr.com/story/28080929/o...-islamic-state

    Amazing how no matter who we elect, all they want to do is wage war, it's almost like there's some kind of force behind them pushing them to keep fighting enemies that we create, directly or indirectly

    After reading this article, it would appear to be a proposal to trim back the 2002 war authorization. Seems like progress to me.

    AUMF is a less unwieldy shorthand for its official name, the 2002 Authorization to Use Unspecified Military Force Against an Amorphous Enemy under Nebulously Defined Circumstances For All Time.
