He does that hoping that House Republicans will come to their senses and pass a piece of legislation that will be more impactful in terms of solving those problems and will supersede any action he might take. The president is as determined as ever to take that action on its own because House Republicans have locked congresshe ability of to come up with a solution. We know the president was talking about a strategy for isis in syria. Having said that, would he like to have that back . The president was talking about military options for countering isis in syria. There are a number of things we have already done as it relates to the broader situation in syria to confront some of the challenges there. The United States is the largest single donor of humanitarian aid to syria in terms of dealing with the terrible situation that has been caused by the violence in syria. We have seen millions of people who have been displaced by the violence there. The United States has been engaged in an ef
