Yes, they should vote and they should vote it down. We should give Iran, Russia and the Assad regime a free hand and quit appeasing the Saudis and other royal scum. That would destroy ISIS and not cost one American life.
I don't believe there was a serious debate before we invaded Iraq & Afghanistan, this is important and congressmen should go on record. I really don't care if it harms their election chances, if they defer then they do not belong in congress.
I think we should,but i am split.
Isis has killed American citizens,whereas we were not threatened by Iraq AT ALL.
We have a problem though..we do not have any $$$$.
Second,once again,we NEED to attack the people who are financing Isis....
That would include attacking friends ahem the Saudis

That is why I really think our so called leaders love Obama taking action on his own because it gives our so called leaders a free pass on making tough decisions. Obama is the big shield that our so called leaders can hide behind because they do not have to face the wrath of the voters on issues like immigration reform, starting a war, giving corporations exemptions on Obamacare fines.

Both sides have made their beds and crapped in it. Obama was so intent on doing things on his own and now the GOP is going to allow it. The GOP complained about Obama doing things on his own but now that they don't want to go on record they are showing their complaints weren't principled ones.
The only vote by Congress should be a "NO" vote on increased military action. Let the people of the Middle East figure it out for once! No more loss of American lives over trying to police the world!
Many congressmen on both sides of the aisle would rather not vote on increased military action in Syria and Iraq, mostly because it may impact their election chances in November. They would just as soon defer to Obama rather than go on record to commit.
This needs to be debated and voted on, committing troops to war is important.

Seen old Mitch on TV just encouraging Obama to act alone and he stated there was no need for a vote. I think there should be a vote since we are declaring war and one issue that should be discussed is who is paying for it or where is the money coming from.

Someone should slug Mitch between the eyes for saying that.
