“Kwa milungu ingapo yapitayi, ndakhala ndikudzifufuza kuti ndichedwe kutulutsa lipotili mpaka nthawi ina. Tili m’nthawi ya chipwirikiti ndi kusakhazikika m’madera ambiri padziko lapansi. Tsoka ilo, izi zipitilira mtsogolo momwe zikuwonekera, kaya lipotili litulutsidwa kapena ayi. Sipangakhale nthawi 'yoyenera' yoti mutulutse. Kusakhazikika kumene tikukuona masiku ano sikudzatha m’miyezi kapena zaka. Koma lipoti ili ndilofunika kwambiri kuti silingathe kusungidwa mpaka kalekale. Chowonadi n'chakuti makampeni a drone ndi ndege omwe tidayambitsa ndikuchita zaka 18 zapitazi zatsimikizira kuti zikuwononga zikhulupiriro zathu komanso mbiri yathu. "
Ngakhale linali Lachisanu masana, nthawi zambiri malo omwe anthu ambiri amawakonda, kuyankha kunali pompopompo komanso kodabwitsa. Monga zidachitika zaka zisanu m'mbuyomu ndi lipoti lofananalo la komiti yolimbana ndi kuzunzidwa, idakhala chochitika chapa media 24/7. “Mavumbulutso” ochokera m’lipotilo anafika ku mtundu wodabwa. Panali ziwerengero za CIA pawo mazana of ana Kumbuyo kwa Pakistan ndi Yemen kuphedwa ndi zigawenga za "zigawenga" ndi "zigawenga". Analipo "kumenya kawiri” momwe ndege zoyendera ndege zinabwerera pambuyo poukira koyamba kuti zikapulumutse anthu omwe anakwiriridwa m’zibwinja kapena kukatenga maliro a anthu amene anaphedwa poyamba. Panali ziwerengero za CIA pa chiwerengero chodabwitsa cha anthu osadziwika omwe anaphedwa chifukwa cha munthu aliyense wodziwika komanso wodziwika yemwe akumuyang'ana ndikuchotsedwa (1,147 Amwalira ku Pakistan chifukwa cha amuna 41 omwe adawatsata). Panali zokambirana zosayembekezereka za bungwe la bungwe lokhudzana ndi kusakwanira kwa zida za robotic zomwe nthawi zonse zimatamandidwa poyera kuti "ndizolondola" (komanso za kufooka kwa nzeru zambiri zomwe zinawatsogolera ku zolinga zawo). Panali nthabwala komanso kugwiritsidwa ntchito kofala kwa mawu onyoza ("bug splat” kwa omwe aphedwa) ndi magulu omwe amawongolera ma drones. Analipo "siginecha kumenyedwa," kapena kuyang'ana magulu a anyamata a msinkhu wa usilikali omwe sanadziwike kwenikweni, ndipo ndithudi panali mkangano woopsa umene unayambika m'manyuzipepala pa "zochita" zonse (kuphatikizapo maimelo osiyanasiyana ochokera kwa akuluakulu a CIA kuvomereza zimenezo. kampeni za drone ku Pakistan, Afghanistan, ndi Yemen zidatsimikizira kuti sizinali zowononga zigawenga komanso kupanga zatsopano).
Panali nkhani zatsopano pankhaniyi ntchito za Purezidenti"kupha mndandanda” ndi kuyitanitsa “zoopsa Lachiwiri” zofotokozera za anthu apadera padziko lonse lapansi. Panali zokambirana zamkati za zisankho zomwe zikupitilira kulunjika nzika zaku America kunja kuti aphedwe ndi drone popanda kutsatira malamulo komanso maimelo aulula momwe otenga nawo mbali mpaka alangizi a Purezidenti adakambirana momwe angachitire luso zikalata zodziwikiratu "zalamulo" zazomwe zikuchitika ku Dipatimenti Yachilungamo.
Koposa zonse, ku mtundu wosakayikira, panali vumbulutso lodabwitsa kuti mphamvu ya ndege yaku America inali nayo, mkati mwa zaka zimenezo, anawononga onse kapena mbali zake za mapwando a ukwati osachepera asanu ndi anayi, kuphatikizapo akwatibwi, akwatibwi, achibale, ndi ochita mapwando, okhudza imfa ya mazana ambiri opita kuukwati m’maiko atatu a Greater Middle East. Vumbulutsoli linadabwitsa mtunduwu, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti pakhale mitu yankhani kuyambira Washington Post's woganiza bwino “Ukwati Tally Kuwululidwa” to the New York Posts "Mkwatibwi ndi Boom!"
Koma ngakhale zonsezi zidapanga mitu yankhani, mkangano waukulu unali wokhudza "kuchita bwino" kwa kampeni ya White House ndi CIA. Monga Senator Wyden adalimbikira tsiku lomwelo m'mawu ake:
"Mukawerenga zambiri zomwe zachitika mu chidule cha lipoti lathu, sizingakhale zomveka kuti mphamvu zamlengalenga zaku America zakhala zopanda ntchito m'zaka zino, komanso momwe, 'munthu woyipa' aliyense wotulutsidwa, kumenyedwa kwa ndege kunali, pamapeto pake, njira yopangira zigawenga zambiri komanso chida chopitilira, champhamvu cholembera anthu mabungwe ogwirizana ndi jihadist ndi al-Qaeda kudutsa Greater Middle East ndi Africa. Ngati mukukayikira, ingowerengerani ma jihadis padziko lapansi pa Seputembara 10, 2001, ndipo lero kumadera a Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, ndi Somalia komwe kampeni yathu yayikulu ya drone yachitika, komanso, monga ku Iraq. ndi Afghanistan. Kenako mundiuze mosapita m’mbali kuti ‘anagwira ntchito.’”
Monga ndi Ripoti lachizunzo la 2014, kotero kuti mayankho a omwe akhudzidwa kwambiri ndi kuphedwa kwa drone komanso kutayika kwa mphamvu zamlengalenga zaku America nthawi zambiri kumadera akumbuyo kwa dziko lapansi zikuwonetsa mphamvu zonse zachitetezo cha dziko la America. Sizinali zodabwitsa, ndithudi, pamene Mtsogoleri wa CIA David Petraeus (paulendo wake wachiwiri wa ntchito ku Agency) adachita msonkhano wamba wa Langley, Virginia, - ndi chochitika chosadziwika mpaka nthawiyo-Director John Brennan adagwira koyamba mu Disembala 2014 kuti atsutsane ndi lipoti lachizunzo la Senate. Inde, monga New York Times anafotokoza izo, Petraeus adadzudzula lipoti laposachedwa kwambiri chifukwa "'lolakwika,' 'lochita zigawenga,' komanso 'lokhumudwitsa,' ndipo adawonetsa kusagwirizana komwe adakhala nako ndi malingaliro ake oyipa okhudza pulogalamu ya CIA."
Vuto lenileni la chiwembucho, komabe, lidachokera kwa akuluakulu akale a CIA, kuphatikiza oyang'anira akale George Tenet (“Mukudziwa, chithunzi chimene chikusonyezedwacho n’chakuti tinakhala mozungulira moto n’kunena kuti, ‘Mnyamata iwe, tsopano tikupita kukapha anthu.’ Sitipha anthu. sindimapha anthu. Chabwino?"); Mike Hayden (“Dziko likanakhala kuti lachita monga momwe mphamvu ya ndege ya ku America yachitira m’zaka zino, anthu ambiri amene sanayenera kukwatiwa sakanakwatira ndipo dziko likanakhala malo abwino okwatirana.”); ndi Brennan mwiniwake ("Kaya malingaliro anu ali otani pa pulogalamu yathu ya drone, dziko lathu makamaka bungweli linachita zinthu zambiri panthawi yovuta kuti dziko lino likhale lolimba komanso lotetezeka ndipo muyenera kuwathokoza, osati kuwasokoneza."). Hayden, Brennan, ndi chitetezo cha dziko, anzeru, ndi akuluakulu a Pentagon nawonso adaphimba nkhani ndi ziwonetsero za Lamlungu m'mawa. Mtsogoleri wakale wa CIA wa Public Affairs Bill Harlow, yemwe anali khazikitsa webusaitiyi ciasavedlives.com kuteteza ulemu wokonda dziko la Agency pa nthawi yotulutsidwa kwa lipoti lachizunzo la Senate, kubwereza ndondomekoyi zaka zisanu pambuyo pake ndi webusaitiyi dontdronethecia.com.
Mtsogoleri wakale wa CIA Leon Panetta adabwerezanso zake mawu achikale ya 2009, akuumirira kwa oyankhulana angapo atolankhani kuti kampeni ya drone sinangokhala "yothandiza," komabe "masewera okhawo mtawuniyi pankhani yolimbana kapena kuyesa kusokoneza utsogoleri wa al-Qaeda." Purezidenti wakale Barack Obama adachita zoyankhulana ndi NBC News kuchokera ku wake watsopano laibulale ya pulezidenti, ikumangidwabe ku Chicago, Kunena mwa zina, “Tinapha anthu ena, koma amene anachita zimenezo anali Achimereka achikondi kugwira ntchito mu nthawi ya nkhawa kwambiri ndi mantha. Kupha mwina kunali kofunikira komanso komveka panthawiyi, koma si momwe ife tirili. " Ndipo 78 wazaka zapakati Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti Dick Cheney, yemwe adawonekera pa Fox News kuchokera ku famu yake ya Wyoming, anaumiriza kuti lipoti latsopano la Senate, monga lakale, linali “gulu la anthu osakonda dziko lawo.” Purezidenti Hillary Clinton, wofunsidwa ndi BuzzFeed, ananena za lipotilo kuti: “Chinthu chimodzi chimene chimatisiyanitsa ndi mayiko ena n’chakuti tikalakwa timavomereza.” Komabe, sanapitirize kuvomereza kuti pulogalamu ya drone yomwe ikupitilirabe kapena ngakhale kuwukira kwaukwati kunali "zolakwika."
Pa Disembala 11, monga aliyense akudziwa, kuwomberana kwasukulu za sekondale ku Wisconsin kunachitika ndipo chidwi cha atolankhani chinasinthiratu pamenepo, 24/7. Pa Disembala 13, a Reuters adanenanso kuti kuukira kwa drone m'malire a mafuko a Pakistan, omwe "akuganiziridwa" kupha "ankhondo" asanu ndi awiri, kuphatikiza mwina wamkulu wa al-Qaeda - okhala mderali adanenanso kuti ana awiri ndi wazaka 70 zakubadwa. mkulu anali m'modzi mwa akufa - anali chikwi cha drone mu nkhondo zachinsinsi za CIA ku Pakistan, Yemen, ndi Somalia.
Kuyendetsa Bizinesi Yachifwamba ku Washington
Si 2019, ayi. Sitikudziwa ngati Hillary Clinton adzasankhidwa kukhala purezidenti kapena Ron Wyden adzasankhidwanso ku Senate, ngakhale atakhala wapampando wa Senate Intelligence Committee m'bungwe lomwe likulamulidwa ndi ma Democrats, kapena ngati padzakhalanso Kufufuza kwachizunzo kwa "chinsinsi" chakupha anthu a drone ku White House, CIA, ndi asilikali a US akhala akuyenda kudutsa dziko lapansi.
Komabe, ndiwerengereni m'modzi mwa odabwitsidwa ngati, mu 2019, gawo lina lachitetezo cha dziko la US ndi White House sizikuchitabe kampeni yodutsa malire adziko popanda chilango, kupha aliyense amene aku Washington angasankhe "zoopsa Lachiwiri"misonkhano kapena chandamale" mu "siginecha," tulutsani nzika zaku America ngati zingakondweretse White House kutero, ndipo nthawi zambiri pitilizani kumenya nkhondo yomwe yatsimikizira kuti ndi nkhondo yapadziko lonse lapansi (osati) yachiwopsezo.
Zikafika pa "zinsinsi" zonsezi koma zodziwika bwino, monganso pulogalamu yachizunzo ya CIA, US yakhala ikupanga malamulo amtsogolo amsewu padziko lonse lapansi. Lapanga muyezo wagolide wopha ndi kuzunzidwa ndi kuyatsa kobiriwira "rectal rehydration” (uphemism wa kugwiririra kumatako) ndi zochita zina zoipa. Pochita izi, yakonza zofotokozera zodzifunira zokha komanso zifukwa zochitira zomwe zingakwiyitse boma la Washington komanso anthu ambiri ngati kuli dziko lina lililonse. odzipereka iwo.
Chidutswa ichi, ndithudi, sichikunena za tsogolo, koma zakale ndi zomwe tiyenera kuzidziwa kale. Chochititsa chidwi kwambiri ndi lipoti lachizunzo la Senate ndi chakuti - kupatula zosamvetseka, zosamveka bwino monga "rectal rehydration" - sitiyenera kuzifuna. Malo akuda, njira zozunzirako, ndi kuchitira nkhanza za osalakwa - chidziwitso chofunikira chokhudza zoopsa Bermuda Triangle ya chisalungamo boma la Bush lomwe linakhazikitsidwa pambuyo pa 9/11 likupezeka poyera, mu zochitika zambiri kwa zaka.
Mavumbulutsidwe a "2019" aja okhudza kupha anthu ndi ma drone ndi zina zowopsa zakutha kwa mphamvu yaku America yaku America ku Greater Middle East zakhala zikudziwika kwa zaka zambiri. Kunena zoona, sitiyenera kukayikira zambiri za zomwe zimatchedwa "chinsinsi" m'dziko lathu la America. Ndipo maphunziro oti atuluke m’zochita zachinsinsizo ayenera kukhala zoonekeratu mokwanira popanda kuwononga zina $ Miliyoni 40 ndikuphunziranso mamiliyoni a zolemba zamagulu kwa zaka zambiri.
Nazi mfundo zitatu zomwe ziyenera kuonekeratu mokwanira pankhani ya nkhondo yosatha ya Washington yolimbana ndi zoopsa komanso kukula kwa chitetezo cha dziko.
1. Zirizonse zomvetsa chisoni zomwe zili mkangano pakali pano, lingalirani mopepuka kuti "sizikugwira ntchito" chifukwa palibe chokhudzana ndi nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchigawenga chomwe chathandiza.: Kufotokozera kwa lipoti lachizunzo la Senate kwakhala lolunjika pamikangano ngati "njira zowunikira zowunikira," kapena ma EIT, "zinagwira ntchito" pazaka pambuyo pa 9/11 (monga mu 2019, zowunikirazo mosakayikira zimayang'ana ngati kampeni yopha anthu ndi ma drone idagwira ntchito). Chidule cha lipoti la Senate chapereka kale milandu yambiri pomwe chidziwitso chopezedwa kudzera muzozunza sichinapange nzeru kapena kuyimitsa zigawenga kapena kupulumutsa miyoyo. zolakwika kuchokera kwa iwo akadathandizira kulimbitsa utsogoleri wa Bush pakuwukira kwawo ku Iraq.
Atsogoleri a Bush Administration, oyang'anira akale a CIA, ndi anzeru "mudzi" ambiri adaumirira motsutsa. Akuluakulu asanu ndi limodzi akale a CIA, kuphatikiza oyang'anira atatu akale, zonenedwa poyera kuti njira zozunzirako zimenezo “zinapulumutsa miyoyo ya zikwi zambiri.” Chowonadi, komabe, ndikuti sitiyenera ngakhale kukambirana mozama za nkhaniyi. Tikudziwa yankho lake. Tidadziwa kale chidule cha lipoti la Senate lisanatulutsidwe. Kuzunzidwa sikunagwire ntchito, chifukwa zaka 13 za nkhondo yachigawenga zapereka phunziro losavuta: palibe chomwe chinagwira ntchito.
Inu muzitchula izo ndi izo Inalephera. Zilibe kanthu kaya mukukamba za kuwukiridwa, ntchito, kulowererapo, mikangano yaying'ono, zigawenga, kuphulitsa bomba, ntchito zachinsinsi, "malo akuda" akunyanja, kapena mulungu amadziwa china - palibe chomwe chidayandikira kuti chipambane. miyezo yochepa kwambiri yokhazikitsidwa ku Washington. Munthawi imeneyi, zinthu zambiri zomvetsa chisoni zidachitika ndipo ambiri adabwerera, ndikupanga adani ochulukirapo, magulu atsopano achisilamu ochita zinthu monyanyira, komanso ngakhale dziko laling'ono la jihadist mkati mwa Middle East lomwe, moyenerera, lidakhazikitsidwa ku Camp Bucca. , ndi Ndende yankhondo yaku America ku Iraq. Ndiroleni ndibwereze izi: ngati Washington adachita nthawi iliyonse mzaka zapitazi za 13, zilizonse zomwe zinali, sizinagwire ntchito. Nthawi.
2. Pankhani ya chitetezo cha dziko ndi nkhondo, chinthu chimodzi chokha "chagwira ntchito" m'zaka izi ndipo ndicho chitetezo cha dziko.: Zolakwika zilizonse, tsoka lililonse, chilichonse chowopsa chomwe chakhala chowopsa padziko lapansi chimalimbitsanso chitetezo cha dziko. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, ogwira ntchito omwe sakanatha kuwombera molunjika sakanachita cholakwika pankhani ya mabungwe awo ndi ntchito zawo.
Ziribe kanthu kuti zinali zoipa bwanji, zoipa, zopusa, zachiwerewere kapena zachiwembu chotani, ogwira ntchito, omenyera nkhondo, makontrakitala apadera, ndi akuluakulu a boma anachita kapena zimene analamula kuti achite, tsoka lililonse panthaŵi imeneyi linali ngati mlingo wowonjezera ntchito, monga mana ochokera kumwamba. , ya kamangidwe kamene kankadya madola amisonkho pa nkhomaliro ndi inakula m'njira zomwe sizinachitikepo, ngakhale dziko lapansi litero osowa adani onse ofunika. M'zaka izi, dziko lachitetezo chadziko lidakhazikika komanso njira zake ku Washington kwa nthawi yayitali. Dipatimenti Yoona za Chitetezo Padziko Lapansi inakula; mabungwe 17 anzeru olumikizana omwe amapanga gulu lazanzeru zaku US adaphulika; Pentagon idakula kosatha; "zovuta" zamakampani zomwe zidazungulira ndikulumikizana ndi zida zachitetezo chadziko zomwe zimachulukirachulukira zinali ndi tsiku lantchito. Ndipo akuluakulu osiyanasiyana omwe amayang'anira ntchito zonse zosagwirizana ndi dziko lapansi, kuphatikizapo boma lozunza lomwe bungwe la Bush lidapanga, anali pafupifupi munthu wokwezedwa, komanso kulemekezedwa m'njira zosiyanasiyana ndipo, popuma pantchito, adadzipeza olemekezeka komanso olemetsedwa. Phunziro limodzi kuchokera pa zonsezi kwa wogwira ntchito aliyense linali: zilizonse zomwe mumachita, mosasamala, monyanyira, kapena osayankhula mopanda kuganiza, zilizonse zomwe simungachite, aliyense amene mungamupweteke, mukulemeretsa chitetezo cha dziko - ndipo ndichinthu chabwino. .
3. Palibe chomwe Washington adachita chomwe chingayenerere kukhala "mlandu wankhondo" kapena mlandu wachindunji chifukwa, m'mawu achitetezo cha dziko, likulu lathu lanthawi yankhondo lasanduka chiwembu. malo opanda umbanda: Apanso, ichi ndi chowonadi chodziwikiratu cha nthawi yathu ino. Sipangakhale kuyankha (motero kukwezedwa konse) ndipo makamaka palibe mlandu waupandu mkati mwa chitetezo cha dziko. Pamene enafe tikadali ku America zamalamulo, akuluakulu ake ali mu zomwe ndakhala ndikuzitcha kalekale “pambuyo pazamalamulo"Amerika ndi m'boma limenelo, ngakhale kuzunzidwa (mpaka imfa), kapena kubedwa ndi kuphedwa, kapena umboni wowononga za zigawenga, bodza, kapena kukhazikitsa a dongosolo la ndende zosavomerezeka ndi milandu. Mlandu wokhawo womwe ungachitike muchitetezo cha dziko Washington ndi kuwomba mluzu. Pa izi, nawonso, umboni uli mkati ndipo zotsatira zake zimalankhula zokha. Mphindi ya pambuyo pa 9/11 yatsimikizira kuti ndi "khadi laulere la ndende" lamuyaya kwa akuluakulu a maboma awiri ndi boma la chitetezo cha dziko.
Tsoka ilo, mfundo zodziwikiratu, ziganizo zosavuta zomwe zitha kutengedwa zaka 13 zapitazi sizikudziwika ku Washington komwe palibe, zikuwoneka, zomwe zingaphunzire. Chotsatira chake, chifukwa cha phokoso lonse ndi ukali wa mphindi yozunzika iyi, dziko la chitetezo cha dziko lidzakhala lokha kukula mwamphamvu, okonzeka kwambiri, okonzeka mwamphamvu kuti adziteteze, pamene akudzichotseratu zotsalira za uyang'aniro ndi ulamuliro wa demokalase.
Pali wopambana m'modzi yekha pankhondo yolimbana ndi zigawenga ndipo ndi dziko lachitetezo palokha. Chotero tiyeni timveke momveka bwino, mosasamala kanthu za ochirikiza ake amene nthaŵi zonse amatamanda “kukonda dziko” kwa akuluakulu oterowo, ndipo mosasamala kanthu za dziko loipitsitsa lodzala ndi anthu oipa, iwo sali okonda dziko. anyamata abwino ndipo akuyendetsa zomwe, malinga ndi muyezo uliwonse, ziyenera kuonedwa ngati zaupandu.
