On Thursday U.S. Representative Mac Thornberry chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said President Barack Obama’s request for $11.6 billion in supplemental war-related funding was too low. He stated "While we will review the request carefully, the amount still does not accommodate the increased pace of operations against ISIL and does nothing to begin addressing the readiness crisis," This is in reference to maintaining troops overseas in areas under occupation.
