http://news.sky.com/story/1323311/us-ready-to-take-action-against-is-in-syria

The US has said it will not be restricted by the Iraq-Syria border as it considers further action against Islamic State militants.

White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes the US stood ready to take action to protect American citizens as the group was more dangerous now than it was six months ago.

I voted for this guy to get us out of Iraq, instead we get a war in Iraq AND Syria!

We are sooooo gonna get killed in 2014

I think we will lose our base (people who voted against the war), and centrists (who also voted against the wars), and the R's will sweep.

Of course I guess you could argue that Congress didn't 'vote' the true feelings of their constituents...IDK
