Whether President Obama wants to admit it or not, the United States never really pulled out of Iraq. The president has sent his request for war powers against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to Congress, but it's getting push back from both sides of the aisle.
President Obama's request for war powers against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is running into trouble on both sides of the aisle, with some Republicans now arguing the White House should place no restrictions on the use of ground troops.

Rep. Ted Lieu (Calif.) on Wednesday said he will not support President Obama's request for the use of force against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), becoming the first Democrat to formally come out against the proposal.
Lieu, a former Air Force officer, said he cannot back the ISIS request at this time because Obama has not proved that the group "represents a direct, grave threat to our nation."
