Thus the Plan: The United States federal government should increase congressional review over the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for targeted killings

Advantage 1 is Terrorism

Scenario 1 is Paksitan

Current drone policy makes instability in Pakistan inevitable and triggers a coup

Drone strikes will continue in the status quo

Breakdown of Pakistan’s government risks nuclear war with India

Indo-Pak war will be catastrophic

Terrorism causes miscalculation that draws in Russia and China and culminates in extinction- also causes rising alert levels

The plan is the CRUCIAL step in undermining hardliners – oversight by Congress key

Scenario 2 is Yemen

Yemen drone strikes will cause wide spread blowback and strengthen the capacity of AQAP – retaliatory attacks, AQAP recruitment, US policy strategic confusion, undermines Yemeni government, and upsets US-Yemen relations

Hudson et al 13 (Dr. Leila Hudson, Colin Owens, and Matt Callen, is associate director of the School of Middle Eastern 26 North African Studies at the University of Arizona and director of SISMEC, graduate of the School of Middle Eastern 26 North African Studies and the School of Government and Public Policy, and PhD candidate at the School of Middle Eastern 26 North African Studies.

Yemen is the key linchpin of global Al Qaeda– they’re the center of operations and drones don’t solve

An AQAP strike would cause extinction.

Aff slows drones strikes in Yemen.
Berger 8/12/13 (Judson, FoxNews, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/12/yemen-drone-strikes-could-revive-war-powers-battle-between-administration/

Building government trust with citizens and tribes is key to disable AQAP – drones undermine that goal

Reducing drone strikes key to Yemeni stability.

Impact is WMD terror, Iran-Israel war, and Iran-Saudi war.

Advantage 2 is Drone Proliferation

Global arms race for drone technology is underway now

Boyle 13 (Michael Boyle is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at La Salle University in Philadelphia. "The costs and consequences of drone warfare," International Affairs, January 1, 2013, http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=946befe6-cb0f-406e-8eeb-8cf20833951040sessionmgr1026vid=126hid=25)

Now is key; the US has a narrow window of opportunity to shape drone proliferation, only US reform based on transparency and restraint will solve

Zenko 13 (Micah, Council of Foreign Relations, Reforming U.S. Drone Strike Policies, January 2013, Council Special Report No. 65, Online)

Failure to implement clear international standards for drone use makes global warfare from drone proliferation a certainty

Roberts 13 (Kristin, national journal, When the Whole World Has Drones, 3-22-13, http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/when-the-whole-world-has-drones-20130321)

Specifically, the American drones precedent is used by China as a pre-text to militarize the Senkaku Islands dispute with drone technology.
Bodeen 13 (Christopher, Huffington Post, "China’s Drone Program Appears To Be Moving Into Overdrive", 5/13, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/03/china-drone-program_n_3207392.html)

Chinese Drone proliferation collapses Sino-Japanese relations, and increases instability between China and the U.S.

US would be drawn in – causes global nuclear war.

Solvency

Plan restricts presidential authority, improves accountability and transparency, and brings public opinion to bear on drones.

Patera 12 (John, J.D., May 2012, Hamline University School of Law. Spring. 33 Hamline J. Pub. L. 26 Pol’y 387)

Public scrutiny key – can’t solve without it.
