A new AUMF is essentially being proposed to redefine the war strategy. From my understanding, taking things at face value, the main opposition to a newly drafted AUMF is an unclear war strategy by the Obama administration. I also recall issues from Republicans for duration and ground troop strength that had been proposed.
ISIS was not responsible for 9/11, nor was ISIS part of the goal of regime change that pushed us into Iraq in 2003. It is a different enemy with different capabilities and areas of operation than what the original AUMF was designed for.
Reading the tea leaves a bit further. We may be seeing the executive attempting to get outright authorization from the legislative branch for full contact operations inside of Syria if need be, which as of yet, has been a bit shaky. Remember the whole red line and 2013 chemical attack fiasco? This, at least to me, appears to be a continuation of that initiative. There are some people who are intent on removing Assad from power one way or another.

...use all necessary and appropriate force in order to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, its associated forces, organizations, and persons, and any successor organizations.
The ideological foundation for this was laid down by Bush when he said 'Either you are with us, or you are with the tersts.'
Are you saying Mitch McConnell didn't introduce the resolution?

It is the characterization of the resolution as "international martial law" that is completely off base

Has it occurred to you that the thread title is an interpretation of the video? Opinions and interpretations aren't hoaxes, and as far as I can tell, thankfully, you're not a moderator.
That is written so it is a statement and since the statement isnt proven by any proof offered in the OP...
...the thread title should be changed or it should be moved to one of their other two forums.
