Yes! A congressional declaration of war is required....if we are to get involved. Otherwise, let Pelosi, Schumer and Schiff lead the charge.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 7:24 pm The only way the United States should wage war against the Mexican cartels is if Congress votes to go to war. Perhaps failed candidate never Trumper Mormon senator Romney could lead the charge in Congress.
While tragic, this is not an adventure that POTUS should unilaterally engage.

Re: Morman Bloodbath in Mexico
There is that; and as in Viet Nam, they all look alike. Who does one zap first? It's a Mexican problem. Build the wall!The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 4:32 pmI don't have a problem with drone strikes. Neither do I have a problem with simply terminating cartel members with extreme prejudice as they either attempt to cross the border, or stage for any such attempt while still in Mexico. Sink their boats. Mortar their installations on the Mexican side of the border. Blow up their tunnels with the people still inside. Arm the BP with AT4s, Carl Gustavs, and Mark 19s. If we kill them on our side of the border, hang their carcasses on the border fence, just like you do with coyotes. But the only US boots on the ground presence inside of Mexico should be limited to small counter-terrorism teams (DEVGRU, Delta) whose sole mission is to acquire target intelligence and grid coordinates and then return to our side of the border.Redneck_Buddha wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 3:20 pm Cartel members should be considered enemy combatants and droned accordingly.
The problem with boots on the ground intervention is that the cartels are too large and too well armed for operations limited to SOCOM to wipe them out. Wiping them out would require a full scale military intervention, and THAT would require a military occupation of ALL of Mexico. Otherwise, all that happens is you push the cartels south, away from our border, but not OUT of Mexico.
We are still disentangling ourselves from Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Syria. We should commit to a war on a 4th front? I don't think so.....and that is aside from the legal and diplomatic issues. Any incursion into Mexico without the express approval of and cooperation with the gov't of Mexico, would rightfully be seen as a hostile invasion by the rest of the world. Mexico is a LARGE land mass, with a LARGE population.
