John Boehner Suggests Obama 'Start Over' on Islamic State Strategy

House Speaker John Boehner recently told reporters that President Barack Obama will not receive military authorization for fighting the Islamic State in the Middle East, saying the president has "no strategy" for defeating the terror group.

Boehner told reporters this week that he believes the president should throw out his request for military authorization and start over when it comes to his plan in defeating the Islamic State terror group in Syria and Iraq.

"The president's request for an authorization of the use of military force calls for less authority than he has today. I just think, given the fight that we're in, it's irresponsible. This is why the president, frankly, should withdraw the authorization of use of military force and start over," Boehner told reporters this week.

Boehner also told reporters that the president has failed to respond to calls to alter his strategy for fighting the Islamic State.

"I've been calling on the president to develop an overarching strategy to deal with the growing terrorist threat — we don't have one," Boehner continued. "And the fact is the threat is growing faster than what we and our allies can do to stop it."

As The Washington Times reports, this week White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that the Commander-in-Chief meets with his security team daily to determine where the U.S. should "tweak" its strategy against the Islamic State.

Earnest told reporters that setbacks in defeating the Islamic State show "how important it is for us to maintain some perspective."
