      @HinaShamsi I mean, isn't AUMF already the basis for deploying the troops that are already there advising/training govt forces to fight AQIM/ISIS?

        @HinaShamsi (not saying the AUMF stretchings are legit, just that it seems obv that that's what the USG's claimed legal basis would be for this idea)
