Obama pushes $5 billion counterterrorism fund to fight ISIS

President Obama is pushing congressional leaders to authorize a $5 billion counterterrorism fund that could be used to support operations against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Approving the fund could allow the White House and congressional leaders to escape a tougher vote on authorizing or funding military action before the midterm elections but still achieve the “buy in” the president has said he wants from Congress. At the same time, the request risks opening the White House up to attacks that it is asking for a blank check from Congress to carry out military action. It’s also unclear whether the counterterrorism proposal would be enough for the administration to decimate ISIS.k

Obama's plan calls for the $5 Billion in counterterrorism funds to be implemented to fight ISIS in a non-direct manner. The $5 Billion will be dispersed to various community based organizations within the United States. These community based organizations will be use the $5 Billion dollars to promote democracy in the U.S. and in doing so combat radical Islam.

Can we buy one less missile and give the money to me to wipe out my debt?
I'll stimulate the hell out of the economy with the leftovers.

Dems must need some more cash for the last push before the elections.
