Rena’s late husband, Sir Ian Easton, worked in Washington to insure Britain and the United States had federal funding to wage war against a common enemy. Our Congress is AWOL in this regards, they refusing to debate the War with ISIS, and legalize it. Will the Republican Co-terrorists call for a vote to defund our Commander in Chief in order to cause him to fail, and thus embarrass him in front of World Leaders whom he has formed a viable coalition with? If they do, let We the People demand that Republican Congressmen be arrested for Treason!

LONDON — The British Parliament voted overwhelmingly on Friday to approve airstrikes in Iraq against the militants of the Islamic State. The vote brought a country weary of international engagements belatedly into the American-led campaign against Sunni extremists.
Prime Minister David Cameron called Parliament back from recess to consider the motion, which authorizes the government to conduct air operations over Iraq. It does not authorize the deployment of ground troops, nor does it authorize action in Syria.
