War on terror/ Questioned
the administration’s commitment to dealing with the Islamic State
Congressional Democrats and Republicans on Sunday
criticized the proposal President Obama recently submitted to Capitol Hill on
defeating The Islamic State, suggesting it doesn't go far enough.
Some of the most pointed criticism came
from Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services
Committee.
He said the part of the proposal that
limits the use of U.S. military force to three years is "not
appropriate."
"We don't want to send a signal to
the world that we're there for just so many years,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the
Press.” “Unfortunately, this battle is going to take a long time. … I think
we’d be better off with a resolution without a specific time limit.”
