Senate OKs Bill To Arm Syria Rebels
The Senate on Thursday easily approved a $1 trillion government-funding bill that gives President Obama new authority to battle the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Lawmakers voted 78-22 in favor of the bill, with 9 Democrats and 12 Republicans voting "no," along with one independent. The "no" votes included several senators seen as prospective presidential candidates in both parties, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). The legislation, which has now been approved by both chambers of Congress, now heads to the White House for Obama’s signature/The Hill. More here.
Question: Idaho U.S. Sens. Crapo & Risch said they opposed this legislation because President Obama hasn't laid out a clear plan to fight the ISIS threat. Do you agree/disagree with their thinking/vote?
