The following excerpt is enough to cause concern for all who believe that peace in this evil world,  is the direct result of our ability to wage war on multiple fronts.   Obama is a unqualified nuisance when it comes waging  and managing war,  preferring to trust in his own ignorance,  viewing military enemy aggression,  at whatever level,  as the criminal actions of a comparative few, with the appropriate reaction being a response from an allegiance of world powers,  such as the do nothing UN,  or,  NATO,  or trial and conviction in a civilian court.   

Our excerpted report,  was congressionally created,  its suthors  working with the National Defense Panel,  whose leadership was appointed by Obama’s Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel.  Although commissioned by this Administration,  it clearly disagrees with the philosophy and direction of the Administration,  and is sharply critical of its goals.  So much so,  that this report sounds the alarm:  we are no longer a capable military power in this world.  Read for yourself and follow-up at the source site:  http://dailycaller.com/2014/08/01/pentagon-official-the-facts-are-in-and-obamas-policy-is-a-direct-danger-to-the-united-states/

 The excerpt: 

The report is in, and the review of the president’s foreign policy is clear: If there is not an immediate course-reversal, the United States is in serious danger.  

In 2013, the United States Institute for Peace, “a congressionally-created, independent, nonpartisan institution whose mission is to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflicts around the world,” was asked to assist the National Defense Panel with reviewing the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). The National Defense Panel is a congressional-mandated bipartisan commission that’s co-chairs were appointed by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.

On July 31, the National Defense Panel released its long-awaited report on the effects of the QDR and delivered its findings to Congress. The panel pulled no punches — its findings were a scathing indictment of Obama’s foreign policy, national security policy, and defense policy. The panel found that president Barack Obama’s QDR, military force reductions, and trillion-dollar defense budget cuts are dangerous — and will leave the country in a position where it is unable to respond to threats to our nation’s security. This, the panel concluded, must be reversed as soon as possible.

In particular, the report addresses the need for the administration to return to the flexible response doctrine — a policy where the military was tasked with being capable of fighting two wars at the same time. Given the current state of affairs and the threats posed to our nation, the panel felt that the two-war doctrine was still required to meet our nation’s national security challenges. The man-power reductions and budget cuts are both reflections of this change in policy, so it must be altered before that is possible.
