ukusuka I-American Conservative
Ngolwesithathu, kumboniso wobumbano lwe-bipartisan ngokuchasene neemfazwe ezingagunyaziswanga zokukhetha, ooSeneta uMike Lee (R-Utah), uBernie Sanders (D-Vt.), kunye noChris Murphy (D-Conn.) ngesibindi wazise isisombululo esidibeneyo seSenethi phantsi komthetho weWar Powers Act, eyalela uMongameli uTrump ukuba ayeke yonke imisebenzi yasemkhosini yase-US e-Yemen.
Ukuba kudlulile, umongameli unokuba neentsuku ze-30 zokumisa imikhosi yase-US kunye nezixhobo ekuqhubekeni nasekuncedeni ungquzulwano olukhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia ngokuchasene neHouthis apho. Imfazwe ibisoloko iqhubeka kangangeminyaka emibini kwaye ibangele ukuba izigidi zabantu base-Yemeni bahlukane, babulawa yindlala, kwaye babulawa yindyikityha yesifo sekholera.
Kwi ingqungquthela yabezindaba ehlanganyelweyo, U-Lee kunye no-Sanders bathi umkhosi wase-US "ubandakanyeka kubutshaba" kunye nomdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia ngokuchasene ne-Houthis evukelayo e-Yemen ngeendlela ezimbini ezibalulekileyo: ukugcwalisa i-Saudi bombers kunye nokubonelela ngobukrelekrele obujolise emoyeni. Le misebenzi bekufanele ukuba ibangele ukubhengezwa kwemfazwe okanye ugunyaziso lwamandla phantsi koMthetho waMandla eMfazwe.
"Lo mthetho awukhathali, awukho mthethweni, yi-Democrat okanye yeRiphabliki- ngumgaqo-siseko," utshilo u-Lee.
“Njengokuba ingqungquthela ingakhange ibhengeze imfazwe okanye umkhosi ogunyazisiweyo kule mfazwe ukuzibandakanya kwethu akukho mgaqo-siseko kwaye akukho mthethweni,” utshilo uSanders. Kudala kudlule ixesha lokuba inkomfa ibize igunya layo ngokomgaqo-siseko.
IPentagon kudala yajika iintakumba zokhuselo lukazwelonke zaba ziindlovu ukuthethelela iimfazwe ezingachazwanga kunye nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali. Ibaleka phesheya ikhangela iindlwane zeempungutye zokutshabalalisa kunye nokwenza abachasi abatsha ukuba balwe. Emehlweni eqela lethu lezinto zomkhosi eliphikisayo
Ezi ntshukumo zingasemva zicacisa ungenelelo lwethu olungahambelani nomgaqo-siseko kunye nomtsalane e-Yemen.
Okwangoku, uncedo olomeleleyo lomkhosi wase-US lusenza ukuba silwe kunye ne-Saudi Arabia phantsi komthetho wamanye amazwe. Yenza ukuba amajoni ethu ajolise ekujoliseni iHouthi. Kwenza ukuba i-United States ihambelane nolwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe yase-Saudi Arabia olwenziwe ngokuchasene nabantu abahlali, kubandakanya nokuqhushumba kwamakhulu emakhaya kunye nendlala yezigidi ezibangelwe luthintelo lwaseSaudi.
IHouthis ayisiyongozi eMelika. Abadweliswanga njengombutho wabanqolobi wangaphandle. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, balwa neentshaba zethu ezinkulu, i-al Qaeda kunye ne-Islamic State yase-Iraq kunye neLevant, zombini zidweliswe njengemibutho yabanqolobi bangaphandle.
Abaphangi be-19 9/11 ababulali babandakanya i-Saudis ezili-15 kunye no-zero Houthis. Ingxelo yenkongolo ibandakanyeke kumagosa ase-Saudi Arabia e-9/11, hayi eHouthis.
AmaHouthis ngamaShiites, ebenza babe ngabangakholwayo emehlweni eSunni Wahhabi Saudi Arabia. Iqela lamaSilamsi eliphikisanayo belilwela iinkulungwane njengoko amaProtestanti kunye namaKatolika enza eYurophu emva kukaMartin Luther. I-United States ayinayo inja yezokhuseleko kuzwelonke kwimpikiswano engapheliyo yehlelo. Imali esisebenzisana nayo kunye ne-Saudi Arabia ityebisa i-MICC 1 yeepesenti, kodwa ngeendleko zokuchuma kunye nokukhuseleka kwezinye iipesenti ezingama-99.
Ukuqala phantsi kuka-Mongameli u-Barack Obama kwaye kwaqhubeka phantsi kuka-Mongameli u-Trump, imali yethu yokusebenzisana kwimfazwe yase-Yemen ayihambisani nomgaqo-siseko. Ikwaphula isisombululo samandla emfazwe ka-1973 (WPR), esithi uMongameli angazibandakanya ne-United States kwimfazwe ngokulandela isimemezelo semfazwe, isigunyaziso esithile esisemthethweni, okanye ukuphendula ubundlobongela obusondele kwi-US:
Wonke umntu othatha inxaxheba ekuyileni nasekumiselweni komgaqo-siseko wavumelana noJames Madison kwileta yakhe eya kuThomas Jefferson:Umgaqo-siseko ucinga, into eboniswa yiMbali yabo bonke oorhulumente, ukuba isiGqeba sesona silawuli sinomdla kakhulu emfazweni, kwaye siqhelekile kuwo. Injalo ngononophelo olufundisiweyo, iwunike umbuzo wemfazwe kwiNdlu yoWiso-mthetho.
ICongress, nangona kunjalo, ayikaze ibhengeze umlo ngokuchasene neHouthis. Ayikaze igunyazise nokuba sithathe inxaxheba emkhosini ngokuchasene nabo. Ugunyaziso luka-2001 loSetyenziso loMkhosi woMkhosi olwaphunyezwa emva nje kwamanyundululu e-9/11 asilele kuba iithagethi zalo mfazwe ayingobantu okanye imibutho ekrokrelwa ukuba iyimbambano kwi-9/11. Kwaye nangona iCongress yabele imali kolu ngquzulwano, ulwabiwo lwenkongolo alunakuthathwa njengemvume yokusebenzisa umongameli emkhosini phantsi kwecandelo 8 (a) (1) leWPR.
Ubambiswano lukaMongameli u-Obama kunye noTrump kunye ne-Saudi Arabia nazo zityhafisa icandelo lesi-5 (b), elenza ukuba uMgaqo-siseko unikezele kuphela amandla emfazwe kwiCongress phantsi kweSibhengezo seMfazwe. (Inqaku I, icandelo 8, igatya 11) ngokuthintela umongameli ukusuka ekusebenziseni unilaterally i-USAF kubundlobongela phesheya ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezingama-60.
Abongameli u-Obama kunye noTrump zange babuze iCongress ukuba igunyazise umgaqo-nkqubo wabo wezomkhosi ongahambelani nomgaqo-siseko e-Yemen kuba bayazi kwaye bayazi ukuba bazakuphulukana nevoti kunye nenkxaso yabantu baseMelika. USomlomo weNdlu uPaul Ryan, umgaqo weWhite House, uthintele ivoti yeNdlu ngesizathu esifanayo.
Ngamanye amagama, ngendlela yabaseRussia nabaseTshayina, inkokheli zethu kwezopolitiko ziyala ukuvota kwi-co-bellige lwemali yethu e-Yemen ukuthoba intando yabantu baseMelika kunye neenkomfa ezinkulu.
Ngethamsanqa, ukuxinana kwemithetho yanamhlanje ngooSenator Lee, uSanders noMurphy basenokuba deus ex machina besilindile.
Ixesha lokubuyisela ulungelelwaniso lomgaqo-siseko rhoqo kwimicimbi yemfazwe noxolo sele kulindelwe. Isisombululo sika-Lee-Sanders-Murphy sisiqalo esikhuthazayo. Ukusuka apho kuyakufikelela kubemi ukufowunela, ukuthumela i-imeyile, kunye nokuthumela umyalezo ngee-senators zase-United States, kwaye babange ukuba babe ngabaxhasi-kunye. Owona mngcipheko mkhulu wenkululeko, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ngabantu abangenanto.
