Bill Nelson Calls for Congress to Authorize Military Action Against Islamic State Terrorists

With Islamic State (IS) terrorists releasing a video of the beheading of American aid worker Peter Kassig, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, called for a congressional vote for military action.

The beheading of another American over the weekend further illustrates the savagery of IS, Nelson said on Monday. It shows why the United States and our allies must leave no stone unturned in going after these barbarians. I hope Congress is moved to vote on legislation formally authorizing military action.
