I am not sure how the White House will take this.  But I generally support the limited bombing incursion into Iraq to check the ISIS insurgency.  I think it probably should have been done some time ago.  The Obama Administration might throw a party or have a news conference or cite me for support among libertarian/conservative bloggers (note small “l”) or will probably ignore it!  🙂

But it seems to me that ISIS is a major threat to the US and we need to stop it best we can.  This bombing incursion is appropriate for the situation.  I do think use of ground forces ought to have Congressional endorsement (which I say is the modern equivalent for a declaration of war unlike my hero, former Cong. Ron Paul.  But I would agree with Paul that Congress should be consulted before war or major military action.)

But it’s important to have me on the record on this.
