SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Senator John Thune says an authorization for the use of military force against ISIS will be the most serious decision Congress will make.
Thune says he’s looking for a strategy and commitment from President Obama. Thune accuses the President of not realizing the threat that ISIS has brought into the world.
Thune believes the consequences of this country's failure to confront this threat and defeat it, are going to be felt for years to come.
Thune says amendments can be added to the measure.
He says "if you don't get national security right, the rest is conversation." He says Congress' first job is to protect the country and its citizens.
