Bill Nelson Brings Out Bill to Launch Airstrikes Against ISIS in Syria

From his perch on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., announced on Tuesday he was introducing a bill giving President Barack Obama authority to launch airstrikes against Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) forces in Syria. Earlier in the day, Nelson said, after the murder of journalist Steven Sotloff, the U.S. needed to get active against ISIS.

This will ensure theres no question that the president has the legal authority he needs to use airstrikes in Syria, Nelson said. Let there be no doubt, we must go after ISIS right away because the U.S. is the only one that can put together a coalition to stop this group thats intent on barbaric cruelty.
