Chief washington correspondent peter cook as president obama sent congress a request for military force against the Islamic State. Peter, good afternoon. Good afternoon, mark. President obama today sending up a formal request for the use of military force. The draft language does not appear to satisfy all republicans, some who think it is too limiting, as well as some you may think it may still be too broad. Thread that needle and win enough of a resolution to actually clear. Now, lets walk you through. It authorizes the use of force for three years, and that means the president ial successor will also be bound by it. It authorizes against the Islamic State but allows the use of special Operations Forces and it ends the 2002 approval for iraq but it does not touch the 2001 approval after 9 11.

Human rights brits have enjoyed since the days of winston churchill. And theyre prepared to jeopardize britains membership of the eu, and our prosperity with it, in order to appease their backbenchers. So much for a credible plan from the conservative party. And most astonishingly of all, they have chosen to single out the workingage poor to bear the brunt of the final years of deficit reduction, while refusing to ask the superrich to make a single additional contribution. Thats the people scraping by on the minimum wage. The jobseekers whove found themselves temporarily down on their luck. The men and women trying to earn their way out of poverty, often working more than one job. And given the conservatives are not planning a single tax increase, how will they pay for all their spending commitments .
