In my committee, we either vote to authorize the use of force or, as we haven\u2019t done since World War II, vote to declare war,\u201d McCaul told Politico. \u201cI would contend that it won\u2019t be a small war; rather, it will be comparable to battles fought during my father\u2019s time. In order for the Defense Production Act to take effect, I believe a declaration of war should be considered. If this happens, we won\u2019t experience any issues with our defense industrial base.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to McCaul, the majority of the faction opposed to aid for Ukraine still has strong anti-Communist-China feeling. McCaul also addressed whether he thinks there will be splinters in GOP support for aid to Taiwan like there have been for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<div id=\"subscribe\" class=\"email-signup inarticle\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<h4>Support Conservative Voices!<\/h4>\n<h5><strong>Sign up to receive the latest<\/strong> political news, insight, and commentary delivered directly to your inbox.<\/h5>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"enews\"> <script src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js\"><\/script> <script>var l_submit_confirmation_status = true; var l_recaptcha_status = false; function ciEnableSubmitButton(code) { if(code != '') { l_recaptcha_status = true; if (l_submit_confirmation_status && l_recaptcha_status) { document.getElementById('CI_submit').removeAttribute('disabled'); } } }<\/script> <script>var rfnames=new Array(\"CI_email\"); var rfdesc=new Array(\"Email Address\"); var val_email_names=new Array(\"CI_email\"); var val_email_desc=new Array(\"Email Address\"); var val_phone_names=new Array(); var val_phone_desc=new Array(); var val_zipcode_names=new Array(); var val_zipcode_desc=new Array(); var val_numeric_names=new Array(); var val_numeric_desc=new Array(); var whitespace_CI = \" tnr\"; function isValidEmail_CI(s) { if (isEmpty_CI(s)) return false; if (isWhitespace_CI(s)) return false; var i = 1; var sLength = s.length; while ((i < sLength) &#038;&#038; (s.charAt(i) != \"@\")) { i++ } if ((i >= sLength) || (s.charAt(i) != \"@\")) return false; else i += 2; while ((i < sLength) &#038;&#038; (s.charAt(i) != \".\")) { i++ } if ((i >= sLength - 1) || (s.charAt(i) != \".\")) return false; else return true; } function isValidPhone_CI(s) { if (isEmpty_CI(s)) return false; if (isWhitespace_CI(s)) return false; var regexObj = \/^(?([0-9]{3}))?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$\/; if (regexObj.test(s)) { return true; } else { return false; } } function isValidZipCode_CI(s) { if (isEmpty_CI(s)) return false; if (isWhitespace_CI(s)) return false; var regexObj = \/(^d{5}$)|(^d{5}-d{4}$)\/; if (regexObj.test(s)) { return true; } else { return false; } } function isNumeric_CI(s) { if (isEmpty_CI(s)) return false; if (isWhitespace_CI(s)) return false; return !isNaN(parseFloat(s)) && isFinite(s); } function isEmpty_CI(s)  (s.length == 0))  function isWhitespace_CI(s) { var i; if (isEmpty_CI(s)) return true; for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++) { var c = s.charAt(i); if (whitespace_CI.indexOf(c) == -1) return false; } return true; } function checkForm_CI() { var message = \"\"; for(var i=0; i<rfnames.length; i++) { if (document.CI_subscribeForm.elements[rfnames[i]].value == \"\") { document.CI_subscribeForm.elements[rfnames[i]].style.backgroundColor=\"yellow\"; message = message + rfdesc[i] + \" is required nr\"; } } for(var i=0; i<val_email_names.length; i++) { if (document.CI_subscribeForm.elements[val_email_names[i]].value != \"\" &#038;&#038; !isValidEmail_CI(document.CI_subscribeForm.elements[val_email_names[i]].value)) { document.CI_subscribeForm.elements[val_email_names[i]].style.backgroundColor=\"yellow\"; message = message + val_email_desc[i] + \" must be a valid email address.
