What is our policy for obtaining them?
What is our strategy for implementing them?
In short, do we have any idea what the hell it is we are doing?
Are we just blundering and blustering?
Are we, like Germany in 1914 committed to go to war at the bidding of Austria, or France at the bidding of Russia? Or even as England thought it was bound to protect Belgium? Who is setting policy among the countries that ring China? Barack Obama? John Kerry? Good God!
Even if we don't get into a war caused by some trigger-happy, over-eager Chinese fighter jock, what might our allies commit us to? And for what purpose?
I am not opposed to war in principle, but I am opposed to fighting a war and finding out why later.
It is an open question who hates America more, Barack Obama, John Kerry, or the Chinese communist militarists. If we had a patriot in charge he would start at the top of this list and ask:
What are America's national interests?
