house speaker john boehner has been hammering the president accusing him of lacking any discernible strategy, all the while boehner has done little to move antious bill. in all likelihood, republicans are not going to help him on this. even though clearly some republican senators would like to have a specific aumf. steven komarow: that is right. senator kaine has negotiated his own alternative. what they're trying to do is cut it down the middle between what republicans want which is basically giving the president authority to have almost unlimited forces go in, and the democrats who want a very tightly written thing. they have negotiated an in between package. it isn't there yet. they both expressed optimism that over time, people will accept this. the legal authority the president is referring to in what you just read, a lot of people think is kind of suspect. this was in the wake of september 11. it was not envisioning the kind of thing the u.s. is facing now in syria and iraq. bill scanlan: does the likely defeat on trade on this issue further hindu the president's ability to move that sort of thing forward? caller: it might. steven ko

let me jump on this today house speaker john boehner skirted questions about moving forward with a war authorization. instead, he ripped into president obama's comments from earlier in the week that we don't have a strategy to train the iraqis to fight. here's boehner. >> he has no strategy, as he admitted himself, much less an overarching strategy to take to isil. and you can't have an authorization of military force, if you don't have a strategy. as the president admitted the other day, he has no strategy to win. where's the over-arching strategy? what's the over-arching strategy? >> the key word is strategy. why don't republicans support the idea of a war against isil? even the notion of it. if you're saying we should have kept troops in to fight them? >> i think rand paul and i'm supporting rand paul -- >> are you supporting the republican establishment here or rand paul? >> i'm defending the fact that i am not -- we didn't draw down correctly, but to send american troops back in there, to put boots on the ground when iraqis aren't willing to support themselves, and we're sending a
