Countless others in syria and iraq. He asked congress to officially authorize the war that hes already been waging. Major garretts at the white house for us tonight. Major. Reporter scott, the white house said the war resolution is intentionally fuzzy. It opens the door to u. S. Military operations to rescue hostages, gather intelligence, or kill senior isis leaders. It rules out enduring offensive Ground Combat operations, and imposes a threeyear limit on the president s authority to combat isis. The resolution weve submitted today does not call for the deployment of u. S. Ground combat forces to iraq on syria. It is not the authorization of another ground war like afghanistan or iraq. Reporter the president says he already has all the Legal Authority he needs, but he wants Congress Republican majority on board, scott to protect his war strategy from the coming strife partisan strife, of the 2016 campaign. Pelley major, thank you. The president started the air strikes last summer, and today the pentagon told us the coalition has hit nearly 5,000 targets. So nancy cordes, what is the point of asking congress to approve this now . Reporter well, scott more and more members over the past few months have come around to the view that the president really does now need to seek formal authorization because many of them now believe that the fight against isis will be prolonged and that it will require a lot of money and therefore, the buyin of the American Public. And what this resolution does is set up a series of hearings where Administration Officials will have to explain to lawmakers and to the American Public more fully what their strategy is, in going after isis, and then congress will have to debate that strategy. Republicans, for instance met behind closed data recorder this evening because they have a lot of concerns about that language in the resolution limiting the use of ground troops. They think that that ties the president s hands militarily and they may try to change that language scott before they hold a vote on it. Pelley nancy cordes, thank you, nancy. Refugees from this war are so desperate, they are jamming rickety boats in the hope of reaching europe, but many dont make it. Holly williams caught up with the smugglers. Reporter the ships boat set off from the turkish port of mersin. They were rusted freighters, bought chiefly by the smugglers who made millions of dollars stuffing the hulls with desperate syrians, and then leaving the ships on autopilot off the italian coast. In ports like mersin, the smugglers ferry their human cargo to bigger ships waiting offshore. The men, women and children pay around 5,000 a head for a treacherous journey and the hope of a better life in europe. Mohammad fled syria a year ago and now works for a smuggler in istanbul. He agreed to talk to us but only if we hid his identity. How dangerous is it to try to cross to europe . There are fights over food and water, he told us and when the smugglers leave the boat on autopilot, it could run aground. Do the smugglers care whether the people that theyre transporting live or die . They dont care about them at all, he said. Theyre traders in human lives. Millions of syrians have fled to neighboring countries like turkey, where many live in limbo without identity documents or any chance of returning home. Rama is a 24yearold from Northern Syria who arrived in istanbul a month ago after her parent paid smugglers to get her across the border to turkey. They think that it will be more safe for me. Reporter now shes hoping a Different Group of smugglers will get her to norway. Last year 3,000 people died trying to get to europe by boat. Ive heard about this.
