Rand Paul is right, but the quickest way to end the wars would be for the Congress to halt all war funding appropriations and cut the half trillion dollar defense budget.

I agree with Paul on this.  Of course, Congress can and should cut off all funding for the wars with the exception of money to bring them all home from around the planet.  And ordering the unilateral cesation of all hostilities.  But since they are obeying their masters that won't happen.  Your kid's blood is too important to milking your savings for the war machine.

Congress never declared war so there should be no decision but to leave. Neither Obama nor congress have any "right" that they have not abdicated.

I agree with Powell that micromanaging a war is not something congress should ever do, that's the C&C's job, clearly. But Oyate is of course also correct that the C&C should never have been given a war to manage in the first place...declaring us to be "at war" used to be, and should have remained, the exclusive domain of the congress.
