Kwa miyezi yopitilira 10, United States yakhala ikuchita ziwawa ku Iraq ndi Syria popanda kutsutsana ndi chilolezo chankhondoyi.

Kunena zowona, M. Spika, izi nzosavomerezeka. Nyumbayi ikuwoneka kuti ilibe vuto kutumiza amuna ndi akazi ovala mayunifolomu m'mavuto; zikuwoneka kuti zilibe vuto kuwononga mabiliyoni a madola kuti zida, zida ndi mphamvu zandege zichite nkhondozi; koma sizingadzibweretsere zopambana ndikutenga udindo pankhondo izi.

Atumiki athu ndi akazi otumikira ndi olimba mtima komanso odzipereka. Congress, komabe, ndiye mwana wamantha. Utsogoleri wa Nyumbayi ukudandaula ndikudandaula kuchokera kumbali, ndipo nthawi zonse ukunyalanyaza ntchito zake za Constitutional kubweretsa AUMF pansi pa Nyumbayi, kutsutsana ndi kuivotera.

Lingaliro lathu, lomwe lidzabwere pamaso pa Nyumbayi kuti liganizidwe m'masiku a kalendala 15, likufuna Purezidenti kuti achotse asitikali aku US ku Iraq ndi Syria mkati mwa masiku 30 kapena osatha chaka chino. December 31, 2015. Ngati Nyumbayi ivomereza chigamulochi, Kongeresi ikadakhalabe ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yoti ichite zoyenera ndikubweretsa AUMF ku Nyumba ya Malamulo ndi Senate kuti ikambirane ndi kuchitapo kanthu. Mwina Congress ikuyenera kukwaniritsa udindo wake ndikuvomereza nkhondoyi, kapena kupitiliza kunyalanyaza komanso kusayanjanitsika, asitikali athu ayenera kuchotsedwa ndikubwera kunyumba. Ndi zophweka choncho.

Ndimadandaula kwambiri ndi ndondomeko yathu ku Iraq ndi Syria. Sindikhulupirira kuti ndi ntchito yodziwika bwino - yokhala ndi chiyambi, pakati ndi mathero - koma, kuposa momwemo. Sindikutsimikiza kuti tikakulitsa gulu lathu lankhondo, tidzathetsa ziwawa m'derali; kugonjetsa Islamic State; kapena kuthetsa zomwe zayambitsa chipwirikiti. Ndizovuta zomwe zimafuna kuyankha movutikira komanso mongoganizira.

Ndikukhudzidwanso ndi zomwe akuluakulu aboma anena posachedwa za nthawi yomwe tikhala ku Iraq, Syria ndi kwina kumenyana ndi Islamic State. Dzulo lokha, pa 3 June^rd, General John Allen, nthumwi ya US kumgwirizano wotsogozedwa ndi US wolimbana ndi ISIL, adati nkhondoyi ingatenge "m'badwo kapena kupitilira apo." Iye amalankhula ku Doha, Qatar pa US-Islamic World Forum.

M. Mneneri, ngati tikufuna kuyika m'badwo kapena zambiri za magazi athu ndi chuma chathu pankhondoyi, kodi Congress siyenera kutsutsana kuti ivomereze kapena ayi?

Malinga ndi National Priorities Project, yomwe ili ku Northampton, Massachusetts, m'chigawo changa cha DRM, ola lililonse okhometsa misonkho ku United States amalipira $3.42 miliyoni pazochitika zankhondo motsutsana ndi Islamic State. $3.42 miliyoni ola lililonse, M. Spika.

Izi zili pamwamba pa mazana mabiliyoni a madola amisonkho omwe adagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo yoyamba ku Iraq. Ndipo pafupifupi khobiri lililonse lankhondo iyi idabwerekedwa ndalama, zoyikidwa pa kirediti kadi ya dziko - zoperekedwa ngati zomwe zimatchedwa ndalama zadzidzidzi zomwe siziyenera kuwerengedwa kapena kutsatiridwa ndi zipewa za bajeti monga ndalama zina zonse.

Kodi nchifukwa ninji, M. Spika, kuti nthaŵi zonse timaoneka kuti tili ndi ndalama zambiri kapena kufuna kubwereka ndalama zonse zimene zimafunika pomenya nkhondo? Koma mwanjira ina, sitikhala ndi ndalama zogulira m'masukulu athu, misewu yathu yayikulu ndi madzi, kapena ana athu, mabanja ndi madera? Tsiku lililonse Congress iyi imakakamizika kupanga zisankho zolimba, zazikulu, zowawa kuti tichotse chuma chathu chapakhomo ndi zinthu zofunika kwambiri zomwe amafunikira kuti apambane. Koma mwanjira ina, pamakhala ndalama zankhondo zambiri.

Chabwino, ngati titi tipitirize kuwononga mabiliyoni ambiri pa nkhondo; ndipo ngati tipitirizabe kuuza Asilikali athu ankhondo kuti tikuyembekezera kuti amenyane ndi kufa pankhondo izi; ndiye zikuwoneka kwa ine zomwe tingachite ndikuyimirira ndikuvota kuti tivomereze nkhondo izi, kapena tiyenera kuzithetsa. Tili ndi ngongole kwa anthu aku America; tili ndi ngongole kwa ankhondo athu ndi mabanja awo; ndipo tili ndi mangawa chifukwa cha lumbiro lokhala paudindo aliyense wa ife adachita kutsatira Malamulo Oyendetsera dziko la United States.

Ndikufuna ndimveke bwino, M. Mneneri. Sindingathenso kudzudzula Purezidenti, Pentagon kapena Dipatimenti ya Boma pankhani ya kutenga udindo pa nkhondoyi yolimbana ndi Islamic State ku Iraq ndi Syria. Mwina sindingagwirizane ndi ndondomekoyi, koma achita ntchito yawo. Panjira iliyonse, kuyambira pa June 16, 2014, Purezidenti adauza Congress za zomwe adachita potumiza asitikali aku US ku Iraq ndi Syria ndikuchita ntchito zankhondo motsutsana ndi Islamic State. Ndipo pa February 11^th cha chaka chino, adatumizira Congress zolemba za AUMF.

Ayi, Mneneri, ngakhale sindikugwirizana ndi mfundoyi, Boma lachita ntchito yake. Zakhala zikudziwitsa a Congress, ndipo pomwe ntchito zankhondo zikupitilira kukula, adatumiza pempho la AUMF ku Congress kuti lichitepo kanthu.

Ndi Kongeresi iyi - Nyumba iyi - yomwe yalephera, ndipo yalephera momvetsa chisoni, kugwira ntchito zake. Nthawi zonse kudandaula kuchokera kumbali, Utsogoleri wa Nyumbayi udalephera kuchitapo kanthu chaka chatha kuti uvomereze nkhondoyi, ngakhale idakula ndikukulirakulira pafupifupi mwezi uliwonse. Mneneri adati siudindo wa 113^th Congress kuti achitepo kanthu, ngakhale nkhondo idayamba panthawi yake. Ayi! Ayi! Mwanjira ina unali udindo wa Congress yotsatira, 114^th Congress.

Chabwino, 114^th Congress idakumana pa Januware 6^th ndipo silinachite chilichonse, chokhacho chololeza nkhondo yolimbana ndi Islamic State ku Iraq ndi Syria. Mneneri adatinso kuti Congress siyingathe kuchitapo kanthu pankhondoyi mpaka Purezidenti atatumiza AUMF ku Congress. Chabwino, M. Spika, Purezidenti adachita zomwezo pa 11 February^th - ndipo komabe Utsogoleri wa Nyumbayi sunachite chilichonse kuti uvomereze kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zankhondo ku Iraq ndi Syria. Tsopano, sipikala akuti akufuna Purezidenti atumize a Congress mtundu wina wa AUMF chifukwa sakonda woyambawo. Mukunama?

Chabwino, pepani, a Speaker, sizikuyenda choncho. Ngati Utsogoleri wa Nyumba ino sakonda zolemba zoyambilira za AUMF ya Purezidenti, ndiye kuti ndi ntchito ya Kongeresi kuti ipange njira ina, lipoti lomwe lakonzanso AUMF kuchokera mu Komiti Yowona Zakunja Yanyumba, ndikubweretsa pansi pa Nyumbayo, ndi kulola aphungu a nyumbayi kutsutsana ndikuvotera. Ndi momwe zimagwirira ntchito. Ngati mukuganiza kuti AUMF ya Purezidenti ndiyofooka, ipangitseni kukhala yamphamvu. Ngati mukuganiza kuti ndizokulirapo, ikani malire. Ndipo ngati mukutsutsana ndi nkhondozi, voterani kuti mubweretse asilikali athu kunyumba. Mwachidule, chitani ntchito yanu. Zilibe kanthu ngati ndi ntchito yovuta. Ndicho chimene ife tiri pano kuti tichite. Izi ndi zomwe timalamulidwa ndi Constitution. Ndicho chifukwa chake mamembala a Congress amalandira malipiro kuchokera kwa anthu aku America sabata iliyonse - kuti apange zisankho zovuta, osati kuwathawa. Chomwe ndikupempha, M. Speaker, ndi kuti Kongeresi igwire ntchito yake. Imeneyi ndi ntchito ya Nyumba iyi komanso ambiri omwe amayang'anira Nyumbayi - kungogwira ntchito yake; kulamulira, M. Mneneri. Koma m'malo mwake, zonse zomwe timachitira umboni ndikunjenjemera, ndi kugwedezeka, ndi kudandaula, ndi kudandaula, ndi kudzudzula ena, ndi kuthawa kwathunthu kwa udindo, mobwerezabwereza mobwerezabwereza. Zokwanira!

Kotero, monyinyirika ndi kukhumudwa kwakukulu, Oimira Jones, Lee ndi ine tayambitsa H. Con. Res. 55 Chifukwa ngati Nyumbayi ilibe mphamvu yogwira ntchito yake yotsutsana ndi kuvomereza nkhondo yaposachedwa iyi, ndiye kuti tibweretse asilikali athu kunyumba. Ngati Congress yamantha imatha kupita kunyumba usiku uliwonse kwa mabanja awo ndi okondedwa awo, ndiye kuti asitikali athu olimba mtima alandirenso mwayi womwewo.

Kusachita kalikonse nkosavuta. Ndipo ndine wachisoni kunena kuti, nkhondo yakhala yosavuta; zosavuta kwambiri. Koma mtengo wake, ponena za magazi ndi chuma, ndi okwera kwambiri.
