Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine said in an interview published Monday that, if elected, Hillary Clinton would quickly ask Congress for fresh legal authority to make war on the so-called Islamic State and other terrorist groups around the world.
“Hillary has said that that’s something she wants to do very early in her administration,” the Virginia senator said. He made his remarks in an interview with “The Axe Files,” hosted by David Axelrod, a former top adviser to President Obama.
Kaine said the former secretary of state will press lawmakers to rewrite the Sept. 14, 2001, Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that set the stage for the invasion of Afghanistan and has underpinned the entire war on terrorism. Obama has invoked the measure to argue that his undeclared but escalating war on ISIS is legal, a position Kaine had previously dismissed as an “Alice in Wonderland” strategy.
Clinton believes that “it’s time for us to take that now-outdated authorization, and really think about what we are confronting, and work together to reach some legislative-executive accord about what it is we’re doing,” Kaine told Axelrod. “It’s time for Congress to get back in the game and refine and revise that authorization.”

Oh, that’s help her, Kaine. Put down the bottle until Nov. 9th.
Exactly!
She wants to be Patton but Hillary and her muslim POSSLQ just can’t bring themselves to say the words “Islamic terrorism”.
She wants to be able to `lose’ more weapons and munitions to ISIS while trying to look tough now to voters in the middle worried about I______ t________.
Spoils of war.
My children would be scared of her. Children can sense evil. Then they go through 12-16 years of brainwashing public schools, and their senses are obliterated.
So many of the American people do not even know they have been brainwashed. But George W. Romney knew he had been brainwashed and then lost his elected political career for saying so.
I might be brainwashed too. I think there are a lot of very strange things going on since 1988. I supported G.W.Bush, and thought he was great; that is why I think I was brainwashed.
Now looking back at the stuff he did, does not make sense. But to complicate matters, his biggest critics continue to do the same things. Heavy, debt spending and perpetual war. Now, they want to essentially erase what little border we have. WHY?
I could go on. There was heavy evidence of massive voter fraud in 2008. It not only goes uncorrected 4 later, it was worse. But now it is another 4 years, and we have the same problems. No one did anything about them. I have lost all faith in this government, and I am beginning prepare for the worse.
SHE’S LYING! See thru her....
SHE THINKS TRUMP VOTERS WANT WARS, so see what she’s doing?
Not that she wouldn’t start something in the future but this is pure BS for now.
Instead of giving up, fight instead.
And how?
poll watch
find pro-trump registered non-voters to take to polls
LOL love that! where did you find it?
“If we can’t get a declaration of war passed through Congress then not one bullet. penny or drop of blood.”
Bingo!
Just made it.
You can click and grab it.
Is that "on" or "on behalf of?"
Or, us citizens? She could say she did not intend to come after us, and she’d be in the clear.
Retaliation for being attacked. Is that war?
