President Obama formally asked Congress to authorize military operations against Islamic State, seeking to put lawmakers on record in support of a Middle East conflict that seems likely to intensify in coming months and last beyond the end of his time in office.
After promising for years to curb the parameters of his own powers to wage war, Obama proposed a resolution Wednesday that sets relatively few hard limits on him or the next president. It also would not touch the post-Sept. 11 authorization to use the military against international terrorism, which he has warned leaves the U.S. in a permanent state of war.
The request will open a potentially lengthy argument over U.S. involvement in the fight against militant Islamic groups in Iraq and Syria. That debate is likely to pit the president against his fellow Democrats, many of whom are deeply skeptical of military action.
The request comes as the Pentagon prepares for a stepped-up period in the fight against Islamic State militants. Iraqi government forces are expected this year to begin trying to wrest back major cities from extremist control, including Mosul, Iraq's second-largest.
U.S. commanders have made clear they're likely to ask Obama to authorize American troops to take part in that operation, although not as front-line combat troops. U.S. personnel might serve in roles such as advisors and spotters to guide airstrikes.
Obama contends that he already has authority for such deployments under the 2001 authorization permitting use of force against Al Qaeda, which once had ties to Islamic State, as well as the 2002 sanctioning of the Iraq war. Because of that legal authority, the new proposal would not add to his ability to order troops into harm's way. But, the White House argues, it would force lawmakers to assume more of the responsibility and political heat for a conflict with no end in sight.
As he faces a new Republican-controlled Congress and an ever-shrinking window for action, Obama said it was time to give troops a clear strategy and the support they need to get the job done.
As a nation, we need to ask the difficult and necessary questions about when, why and how we use military force, Obama said Wednesday.
The resolution, which would expire in three years, sets no geographic boundaries on U.S. operations against Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, and uses just five words to limit the type of operations Obama or his successor could order.
A president could not deploy U.S. troops for enduring offensive ground combat operations, the measure states, using a phrase the White House acknowledged was intentionally fuzzy to allow flexibility.

President Obama called on lawmakers Friday to pass tougher cybersecurity laws, but the main pitch of his speech at a cybersecurity summit at Stanford University was aimed at business leaders whose help he needs fighting cyberattacks.
As he prepared to sign an executive order to promote information-sharing within the private sector and with the government, Obama praised the spirit of collaboration he maintains would help all sides respond quickly to an attack.
When companies get hacked, Obama argued, the personal and financial information of American individuals and business interests is compromised, a threat to all involved.
This has to be a shared mission, Obama said. Because computer networks are held largely by the private sector, government cant do this alone, he said.
But the private sector cant do it alone, he said shortly before signing the executive order.
Obama recently sent a new set of cybersecurity proposals to Congress, and key White House advisors say they are optimistic they can get bipartisan support for them.
Still, the president has made it clear that, after years of butting heads with congressional leaders, hes not going to hold off on the use of his unilateral powers while they try to work something out with them.
On few subjects is it more important to plow ahead, say top advisors. Cybersecurity is a major, immediate concern for the White House as hackers and other nations find increasingly sophisticated ways to disrupt business and steal personal information for financial gain.
Obama is under great pressure to take action after attacks in recent months against high-profile American companies including Sony Pictures, Home Depot and Anthem.
Republicans, though, are unimpressed with his executive orders and think Obama should focus his energy on working with GOP leaders to enact laws that would require, rather than merely encourage, the kind of information-sharing Obama is talking about.
