| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The force authorizations behind the Iraq War and the "war on terror" have both evolved in ways their authors never envisioned. Congress should repeal the former and significantly revise the latter.
IN JUNE, the jihadist organization now calling itself the Islamic State staged a stunning series of operations to capture large swathes of territory in northern Iraq. In the span of just a few days, the militants seized Mosul and Tikrit and continued marching south. Some observers feared that the Iraqi state itself might collapse completely. |
