The Drudge headline says, “Obama Bombs Iraq.” The Washington Examiner headline says, “U.S. military aircraft conducts first airstrike in Iraq.” The Washington Post headline says, “U.S. launches airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq.”

All are entirely accurate, but what is perhaps most notable about President Obama‘s rationale for action, laid out in a brief address to the nation Thursday night, is how precisely limited the president’s directive is. Some Republicans are calling for Obama to take broad and decisive action in Iraq. This is most definitely not it.
