In this Sept. 10, 2014, photo, President Barack Obama addresses the nation from the Cross Hall in the White House in Washington. As a U.S. senator from Illinois running for the White House in 2007, Obama sponsored a resolution to prohibit President George W. Bush’s administration from taking military action against Iran unless it was explicitly authorized by Congress. His idea died in committee. Obama said Wednesday he had authorized U.S. airstrikes inside Syria for the first time, along with expanded strikes in Iraq, as part of "a steady, relentless effort" to root out Islamic State extremists. He did not say how long he expected the fighting to last. (AP Photo/Saul Loeb, Pool)
