Petras is right that they intend to use this to take out Assad. If there was ever a time to employ a filibuster in the Senate, it would be now, but don't count on it, since even Democrats "crossed the floor" in the Gulf War vote to support Bush the Elder's resolution.
And it's another unconstitutional action, since the War Powers Resolution itself is unconstitutional, as it allows the President to deploy forces for up to 60 days without Congressional authorization and the Constitution only expressly allows the President to do so when there is a declaration of war under Article I, Section 8, which hasn't been done since WWII.
And as for why it hasn't, it's not just a matter of conspiratorial figures trying to undermine the constitutional republic and promote an imperial presidency. It's also because Congressional representatives wanted to shift blame away to the President for unpopular wars.
Why isn't the Israeli military going after this ISIS/ISIL? This problem is in their neighborhood after all.
Notice how this ISIS/ISIL group never tries to penetrate Jordan or Israel.
This ISIS/ISIL terrorist group didn't really start becoming a "threat" until after the U.S.Congress denied direct military action in Syria in September 2013. That's when these boogeymen (ISIS/ISIL terrorist group) conveniently started showing up in our News portrayed as a threat to the entire region.
Here's something a little off the subject and it has to do with Bibi Netanyahus' scheduled visit to the U.S. during the annual AIPAC conference that starts March 1st and Bibis speech to Congress is scheduled for March 3rd.
This is some information that gets no coverage in the Zionist controlled press...
Netanyahu Worked Inside Nuclear Smuggling Ring
Counterespionage debriefing reveals how Israel targeted U.S.
"On June 27, 2012, the FBI partially declassified and released seven additional pages [.pdf] from a 1985–2002 investigation into how a network of front companies connected to the Israeli Ministry of Defense illegally smuggled nuclear triggers out of the U.S.* The newly released FBI files detail how Richard Kelly Smyth — who was convicted of running a U.S. front company — met with Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel during the smuggling operation. At that time, Netanyahu worked at the Israeli node of the smuggling network, Heli Trading Company. Netanyahu, who currently serves as Israel’s prime minister, recently issued a gag order that the smuggling network’s unindicted ringleader refrain from discussing “Project Pinto.”
Da'ash (ISIS) is made up of a network of groups. Al-Nusra is one of those groups and Israel is providing air support for them in their attack on Syria. This is why Israel isn't fighting them. They are helping them.
