Senate Prepares to Repeal Iraq War Powers Despite McConnell's Opposition.
TL;DR
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell opposes the repeal of the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in Iraq, arguing that terrorists are not ending their war against the US. He also accused the Biden administration of concealing a recent drone attack until the AUMF repeal could be moved forward in the Senate. McConnell believes that the AUMF debate this week is just the beginning of a broader look at the Biden administration's failed Middle East policies.
