after the president's speech to wednesdays ago, senator menendez who has been asked if the president and his authority and he said, let me hear what the president has to say and i will tell you. when he heard the president speech say this is clearly open-ended, with senator menendez, senator durbin new has been public that we have to have an authorization vote both in leadership. senator mcconnell has saying we've got to have it. i have conversations with members of leadership. i would rather not get into parsing those two carefully. in both houses and in both parties, there is a strong belief that we have to. with december 11, it creates a natural window for that discussion. in one sense, having it before the election would have been better because, you know, people can be accountable for it. no one will be able to hide here in no one running for office will be able to hide. their electorate will ask them. there is an opportunity for citizens to understand where their candidates are. i am not i'm international long guy. i am not an international law guy. but it raises an interesting

it's not credible. >> let's listen to bob menendez. >> what success looks like in iraq and syria across region and what conditions will indicate when it's time to end military action. now, this is what we know about isil. it has brutally mercilessly, barbarically followed through on threats to kill hostages james foley, steven sotloff. beheaded british aid worker david haines on saturday and threatens to execute another british citizen, alan henning. it promotes genocide against anyone who does not follow their view of warped islam. it enslaves women and children. it has seized u.s. and iraqi military equipment, has built a formidable fighting force. it's pumping oil and selling it to a tune of $1 million a day to fund its brutal tactics, along with kidnappings, theft, extortion and external support. it is recruiting disciples for its un-holy war at a frightening pace. these foreign fighters are crossing often from turkey, which either because of fear or maybe ideology, has declined to participate to stop that flow of fighters and to counter isil. it has declared the territory occupied

chairman menendez has said we will take this up and we are going to vote down and authorization.my authorization basically supports the president pillars but with four caveats. first, a year sunset to require review and reauthorization. second, a limitation on ground troops, and depend on interest in the q&a i would into i think that is an actual strategically and military exactly what we should do. third, a drastic limitation on this notion of who is an associate force so that an authorization once drafted doesn't suddenly just grow into everything. and forth, a repeal of the 2002 iraq aumf we don't have a doing a ums out there in the iraq space. that's the first thing, take this up as soon as we get back. we got between november 12 and the 11th of december when the syrian peace that was authorized last week exports. we have to vote on it and it's my hope we will support the president in the nation he described. the second thing we need to do is revise the 2001 aumf. that's a more complicated thing. because crafting a specific authorization against isil is one thing but revising

actually the problem has always been, senator menendez, that there have been more willing fighters inthe free syrian army than they've had to carry all, guns and ammunition, et cetera. so a different question is do we know them? two things i would say. first, we don't know all 1500 groups because some of the groups are just two or three guys and they had a video camera and wow, you're a group of freedom fighters. there's actually a pretty small number of serious groups. when i see serious, i mean that have 1000, five, 7000 that number of groups is pretty small. it wouldn't has more than about 15, 20. funny how that's never mentioned in the press. those groups, we don't work with all of them. some of them are beyond the pale politically in terms of not being moderate. that's a big group. so i've met but we do not provide assistance to them. the other groups and ones, for example, the state department was providing nonlethal assistance do, yes, we know them. it's not a secret that i met them on occasion in places like turkey, and i went over the border investing in syria about 14 months

menendez: thank you. mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new jersey. mr. menendez: i come first to support the distinguished chair of the appropriation committee in her endeavor to pass a continuing resolution, and i specifically want to speak to support the president's request for authorization to stand up a title trend overt train and equip mission for vetted moderate syrian opposition. the hearing i held yesterday in the senate foreign relations committee laid out specifics of how the president is moving forward and building an anti-isil coalition, that we will undertake targeted air strikes against isil in iraq and syria, that we will train and equip a syrian opposition force committed to a pluralistic free syria. this is a multifaceted plan, and we heard both from secretary kerry and a second panel of regional experts that coalition partners are ready to contribute in real terms not just empty words. the isil threat is grave and it is urgent. we must stand with our partners in the region to confront this barbarism in the interest of all the individual

kerry and secretary of defense hagel, i am committed to working with my colleagues and with chairman menendez on the foreign relations committee to review, consider, draft and approve an authorization for the use of military force when submitted to us by the president that gives congress an appropriate role in oversight and the president the authorization he needs. mr. president, we need to do everything we can together to ensure that isis will be stopped. it has already shown itself, demonstrated its capability to commit unspeakable crimes, and if left unchecked, these terrorists will spread their reach beyond our abilities to stop them. we cannot let that happen. as my colleagues discuss and debate this mission, i only ask that we leave the politics of the moment out of it. with an election soon upon us, the temptation is strong to use every opportunity to achieve any short-term partisan advantage, but this is too important and too much is at stake. while today all over this country we call to mind and honor the sacrifices of americans who've served and those who lost their lives 13 years a

actually, the problem has always been, senator menendez, that there have been more willing fighters in the free syrian army than they've had materiel, guns ammunition, et cetera. the question is do we know them. two things i would say. first, we don't know all 1500 groups because some of the groups are just two or three guys and they have a video camera and, wow, you're a group of freedom fight eers there is actually a pretty small number of serious groups. when i say serious, i mean that have 100, 1,000, 5,000, that group is small. it wouldn't pass more than 15 or 20. funny how that's never mentioned in the press. those groups, we don't work with all of them. some are beyond the pale politically in terms of not being moderate, like arad asham which has sectarian tendencies and may well impose a state. that's a big group. not provide assistance to them. we have groups and the state department was providing nonlethal assistance to. yes, we know them. it's not a secret that i met them on occasion in places like turkey and i went over the border and met them in syria about 14 months ago.

>> i think chairman menendez had made certain statements -- >> that he would support putting boots on the ground? >> you can ask every senator what they think. i'm not in favor of boots on the ground. i may consider airstrikes. i may consider them at a certain time, if authorization is requested. how that is worded is very important. i have seen a draft authorization broad enough to allow for boots on the ground. i'm very concerned about how that is written. you can see the two 1001 and 2002 authorizations are being used for all sorts of oceans. i've been supportive of his strategies and approaches that i do not agree with all of them. senator on the armed services committee is to have a voice in these decisions. approaches doe you not agree with? >> i do not agree with arming the syrian rebels in those weapons could easily get into the hands of isis in the future used against our men and women which is very concerning to me. >> it's going to be a debate that will be had in washington. you said if i had a daughter i would tell her certain things, it's a great to be really smart and be

to that point there was an interesting exchange yesterday between secretary kerry and senator bob menendez about whether or not the authorization for iraq applied and gave the president constitutional authority for this offensive that is already under way in iraq and may be under way soon in syria. >> the same people doing the same people that were attacking and the stunt to sprayed yourself and that does not get you under the force of the united states law. i will tell you from the chair's perspective, you will need that. going forward with military action without the consent of congress? >> it's a terrible precedent. i opposed actions in libya for the same reason. and a host of them have done this making the power to determine whether we are going to war or not. that's before you get into war, the american people should vote for them and to say that the umf which we voted to authorize the people who attacked us on 9/11 should be used 13 years later. >> i would certainly agree with you. there is word that a beheading terror plot was foiled in australia. do you think enough is being done t
