Will the next US President have significant trouble getting authorization and funding for a war, any war?

Answer 1

I really hope so. In reality, no country or government is going to attack us for many decades or centuries to come. No government is that dumb. Terrorism is not something you can combat through war. You have to use undercover tactics to combat their undercover tactics.

Hence, if we get another president that would like another war, such a war would be totally unnecessary. Jesus Christ taught us war is not God's way. Visionaries like Ghandi and M.L.King showed us the truth of Christ's teachings (that is, there are much better ways to achieve aims than through the use of violence).

That's why I pray and I hope many others out there join me in praying for a government wise enough NOT to use war as national security tool.

Answer 2

Absolutely.After this debacle I believe the congress and senate will be so gun shy they would have to be led kicking and screaming into another conflict.I also bet they feel a bit hood-winked by the "experts" who drove home the idea of the necessity of going to war in the first place.Avery,let's not forget the re-election of the people who voted for the invasion.They want to distance themselves from conflict as much as possible.The only way I can see funding/authorization would be in the event of invasion or nuclear war...the latter would be moot,however,don't you think?

Answer 3

It will really depend on the scenario, circumstances and amount of time that has passed since this war.

Justifications for this statement.
Time heals all wounds and people are soon to forget.
No one would withhold funding if we are attacked.
The prosecution of the war will matter. Is it a purely military mission? Or will there be an occupation period involved?

Answer 4

it will depend on the situation, who is involved, what started it, etc.
