I suggest that inherent Resolve is better assigned as the Middle East Footprint rather than to spread them over the Pacific Rim hunting down ISIS which is the current plan. Information on ISIS last year was that it would become very loosely organized in which different terrroist groups could come together, then fan out, then coming together and fanning out again repeatedly claiming that each group of Terrorist could go home for a while and then return. However, this pattern is very illusive; moreover, an identifiable guirrilla tactic. Pursuit of our enemy has already been won in the Middle East and so has the prize and the retribution for the 9/11 Attack. Rather than allow ourselves to be drawn out, thinly, could turn out to be a trap as it was in Vietnam in which China blended in with the Viet Kong eventually forcing US withdrawal. China is now all over the Pacific Rim: in Africa and the Philippines supporting the Communist Movement there
very conveniently pulling away; however, as the US has acquired battle plans with the Philippino government. China is also very interested in India and Pakistan, where wealth is supposed mirror what China has achieved with Hong Kong and Singapore is still seen as a catch for them. Is it possible that we would be leaving the Hen House unprotected by being lured off into these far away places when the real prize is the Middle East region? Is it plausable, that by chasing ISIS across the Pacific Rim is merely a way to draw US forces into a China snare that will cost the US its victory. Securing the Middle East region, I believe, is a better plan, less dangerous and moreover, establishing the the Oil capital of the world, to which China is it number one consumer, as a US protected territory could bring China to its knees without chasing the spider into its web. And by no means does the US want to fight as foot soldiers nor guerrilla; but primarily missile warfare; and
Given that modern technology has advanced Warfare to short incursions with minimal costs and given that the US Congress, representing the people in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, has, nonetheless, continued the same pattern as that in the Vietnam War that the people of this country took issue with, realizing a deficit in terms of length of time and financial commitments of the war dramatically impacting the National Debt, the following adjustments to the War Powers Resolution are expected:
1. Extending presidential perogative in
—executive agreements —
Adding a committee of military experts from NATO, with whom the US is a member and with regard to their policy of “attack one and you have attacked all”, that would add constructive opinion for councel but reserving the option of cooperative participation
2. Since we do know that the Middle East Terrorist often work in concert with official State leadership and that Modern Warefare has become the new standard, the adoption by the US of the Israeli model in all instances of Declared War as well as when engaged with any gurriella combatants in the same way as though they were a State military.
3. Based on a realistic perspective regarding the enemies capacity to infiltrate as well as that of special interest groups, that Congressional opinion must reflect the consensus of the Will of the People equiping them with pertinant information for decision making.
4. To control advancing levels of taxation with a purvue to counter the enemies intent to bankrupt the country as a means of Warfare, the President will be allowed to impound budgeted items up to ??% of the national budget and even introducing rationing as a componant of that purpose as the US did in WWII.
