Orrin Hatch: Obama’s ISIS Plan Is ‘Utterly Stupid’

Orrin Hatch: Obama's Limited ISIS War Plan 'Utterly Stupid' (Newsmax)

Veteran Sen. Orrin Hatch ripped into the president's plan to limit military force against the Islamic State (ISIS), calling it "utterly stupid" and arguing it will handcuff his successor with "really stupid language."

"Any president worth his or her salt is going to ask for as much authority as they can get, so at least the ISIS people know that he has the authority to come in on them anyway he wants to," the Utah Republican told KSL News Radio on Wednesday, reports The Hill. 

Hatch, mentioning the death of American aid worker Kayla Mueller, said Obama needs to threaten ISIS with "all the force he can get," not by setting limits.
