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.

But the impact on the morning commute was severe the break was discovered at 6 00 this morning and police shut down all 12 lanes of boulevard and traffic came to a stand still and clogged side streets as drivers searched for a way around and crews got the water shut off at 8 15. And traffic was allowed on the outer lane a while later. If it had simply cracked the repair would have been much faster. We are able to clean up the middle lanes well have the middle lane back open.
