WASHINGTON, Dec 10 : US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday urged lawmakers to adopt a new legal authorization to underpin military action against Islamic State militants for at least three years.
But during a heated debate, the top US diplomat came under fire from Republicans and Democrats who argued that if President Barack Obama wanted new powers to combat the jihadists, he should have drawn up a draft text to propose to the Senate.  The US-led coalition has already carried out some 1,100 airstrikes in Syria and Iraq since September.     ?AFP
