House Speaker John Boehner called for President Obama to scrap a war authorization plan he sent to Congress earlier this year, and come up with a tougher proposal to battle Islamic State terrorists that gained new territory in Iraq this week.
“I think given the fight we are in, the president should withdraw the Authorization for the Use of Military Force and start over,” Boehner said Tuesday after a closed-door meeting with GOP lawmakers. “We don’t have a strategy.”
