Initial dispatch of military forces Constitutionally is clearly the perogitive of the Executive Branch. That only changes if Congress declares war. So Congress can whine all they want about it. It's a POTUS decision and it's also a decision best made with indifference to opinion polls. I believe most of ISIS leadership is destroyed. Very much unlike the situation in Iraq under the previous POTUS where you had a core cadre of leadership in Iraq prison camps such as Al-Baghdadi that escaped the prisons in Iraq. So the "reconstitution" threat begs the question........under whom? Last but not least. It is immensely stupid to use Special Forces troops in a "trip wire" role. Not their purpose or mission and a complete misuse of the military. If you want a "trip wire" then insert conventional troops with conventional equipment in numbers where they can defend themselves.
