NguBrian Terrell

Xa uMongameli Barack Obama waxolisa ku April 23 kwiintsapho zikaWarren Weinstein noGiovanni Lo Porto, umMelika kunye nomTaliyane, omabini awabamba abantu ababulawa kuhlaselo lwe-drone ePakistan ngoJanuwari, wabeka ityala labo ngokufa "kwenkungu yemfazwe."

"Lo msebenzi uhambelana ngokupheleleyo nezikhokelo esiqhuba phantsi kwazo kwimizamo yokulwa ubunqolobi kule ngingqi," utshilo, kwaye ngokusekwe "kumakhulu eeyure zokugada, sikholelwa ukuba esi sakhiwo (ekujoliswe kuso kwaye sitshatyalalisiwe yimipu ejikelezwe yidrone) Indawo yeAl Qaeda; khange kubekho bantu. ” Nokuba unezona njongo zintle kwaye unemiqathango yezokhuseleko, umongameli uthe, "kuyinyani ekhohlakeleyo nebuhlungu ukuba kwinkungu yemfazwe ngokubanzi kunye nokulwa kwethu nabanqolobi ngokukodwa, iimpazamo- ngamanye amaxesha iimpazamo ezibulalayo - zinokwenzeka."

Ibinzana elithi "inkungu yemfazwe," UNebel des Krieges NgesiJamani, waziswa ngumhlalutyi womkhosi wasePrussia uCarl von Clausewitz e1832, ukuchaza ukungaqiniseki ngamava omkhosi kunye namajoni kwibala ledabi. Ihlala isetyenziselwa ukuchaza okanye ukucekisa "umlilo onobuhlobo" kunye nokunye ukufa okungalindelekanga kubushushu kunye nokudideka komlo. Eli gama liphakamisa imifanekiso ecacileyo yesiphithiphithi kunye nobungqingqwa. Inkungu yemfazwe ichaza ingxolo enkulu kunye noxinzelelo, ukuxhaphaka kweembumbulu kunye neegobolondo, ukuqhushumba kwamathambo, ukukhala kwabenzakeleyo, imiyalelo ikhwaza kwaye ibala, umbono unqongophele kwaye uhlanjiwe ngamafu erhasi, umsi kunye nenkunkuma.

Imfazwe ngokwayo lulwaphulo-mthetho kwaye imfazwe sisihogo, kwaye kumajoni ayo enkungu anokubandezeleka ngokweemvakalelo, kwiimvakalelo nangokwasemzimbeni. Enkungwini yemfazwe, ediniwe edlulileyo kwinqanaba lokunyamezela kunye noloyiko kokubini kubomi babo nakwabo bahlobo babo, amajoni kufuneka enze izigqibo zesahlulo sesibini sobomi nokufa. Kwiimeko ezilusizi ngolu hlobo, ayinakuphepheka ukuba "iimpazamo-ngamanye amaxesha iimpazamo ezibulalayo-zinokwenzeka."

Kodwa uWarren Weinstein noGiovanni Lo Porto ababulawa kwinkungu yemfazwe. Babengabulawa emfazweni konke konke, hayi nangayiphi na indlela imfazwe iqondwe kude kube ngoku. Babulawa kwilizwe apho i-United States ingekho emfazweni. Akukho mntu wayesilwa kwindawo apho bafela khona. Amajoni adubula imijukujelwa eyabulala la madoda mabini yayikumawaka eekhilomitha eUnited States kwaye kungekho ngozi, nokuba ubani ubuyile. La majoni ayebukele le ndawo ihamba nomsi phantsi kwemijukujelwa yabo, kodwa khange beve kuqhushumbo, kunye nezikhalo zabangxwelerhiweyo, bengakhange bave nokuqhushumba. Ngobo busuku, njengobusuku bangaphambi kolu hlaselo, kunokuthathwa ukuba babelala ekhaya ezililini zabo.

Umongameli uqinisekisa ukuba loo mijukujelwa yagxothwa kuphela emva kokuba “amakhulu eeyure zokujonga” efundwe ngononophelo ngabahlaziyi bezokhuseleko Isigqibo esikhokelela ekuswelekeni kukaWarren Weinstein noGiovanni Lo Porto asifikelelwanga kwisibambiso sokulwa kodwa kwintuthuzelo kunye nokukhuseleka kweeofisi namagumbi enkomfa. Umgca wabo wokubona awuzange uphungulwe ngumsi kunye nenkunkuma kodwa uphuculwe ngetekhnoloji ye “Gorgon Stare” yobuchwephesha bokuhlola.

Kwangolo suku lwesibhengezo sika-Mongameli, u-Nobhala weendaba e-White House naye wakhupha ezi ndaba: “Sigqibe kwelokuba u-Ahmed Farouq, wase-America owayeyinkokheli ye-al-Qa'ida, wabulawa kwakuloo msebenzi mnye obangele ukuba ukubhubha kukaGqirha Weinstein kunye noMnu Lo Porto. Sigqibe kwelokuba uAdam Gadahn, waseMelika owaba lilungu elaziwayo le-al-Qa'ida, wabulawa ngoJanuwari, ngokunokwenzeka kuhambo olwahlukileyo loRhulumente wase-US. Ngelixa bobabini uFarouq noGadahn babengamalungu e-al-Qa'ida, akukho namnye kubo owayejolise ngqo kuye, kwaye sasingenalo ulwazi oluchaza ubukho babo kwiindawo zokwenza le misebenzi. ” Ukuba inkqubo kamongameli yokubulala i-drone ngamanye amaxesha ibulala ngempazamo, ngamanye amaxesha ibulala abantu baseMelika ngengozi yokuba ngamalungu e-al-Qa'ida kwaye ngokucacileyo i-White House ilindele ukuba sithathe induduzo kule nto.

"Amakhulu eeyure zokubekwa kweliso" ngaphandle, kwaye nangona "ehambelana ngokupheleleyo nezikhokelo apho sisebenza khona ngeenzame zokulwa," umyalelo wokuhlasela indawo wanikwa kungabikho luphawu lokuba u-Ahmed Farouq ukhona okanye uWarren Weinstein wayekho. hayi. Kwiinyanga ezintathu emva kwenyani, urhulumente wase-United States uvumile ukuba bavimbe isakhiwo ababebukele kangangeentsuku ngaphandle kokucinga okuncinci ukuba ngubani.

"Inyaniso ekhohlakeleyo kunye ekrakra" eneneni kukuba uWarren Weinstein noGiovanni Lo Porto ababulelwa "ekuchaseni inzame" nakanye, kodwa besoyikiswa ngurhulumente wase-United States. Basweleke kwisitayile seqela lemigulukudu eliye lahamba kakubi. Babulawa kwilinge lokuqhuba ngokudubula, baba ngamaxhoba okubulala ngokungenankathalo kokona kubhetele, ukuba bekungabulala umntu.

Enye "inyani ekrakra kunye nokukrakra" kukuba abantu ababulawa ngamadrama kude nendawo yokulwa ngenxa yezenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho abangakhange bavavanywe okanye bafunyaniswa benetyala, njengo-Ahmed Farouq kunye no-Adam Gadahn, abazizo iintshaba zabulawa ngokusesikweni ngokulwa. Bangamaxhoba okuxhuzula ngolawulo olude.

"Abadliwayo nabavuni abanamsebenzi kwindawo ekhuphisanayo," uvumile uGeneral Mike Hostage, inkosi ye-Air Force's Air Combat Command kwintetho ngoSeptemba, 2013. I-Drones ibonakalise iluncedo, utshilo, "ekuzingeleni" i-al Qa'ida kodwa azilunganga kumlo wokwenyani. Ukusukela ukuba i-al Qa'ida kunye neminye imibutho yabanqolobi yanda kwaye yanda ukusukela oko amaphulo ka-Obama e-drone aqala ngo-2009, umntu angathatha ingxaki ngebango ngokubanzi lokuba luncedo kuyo nayiphi na ngaphambili, kodwa kuyinyani ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwamandla abulalayo ngu iyunithi yasemkhosini ngaphandle kwendawo ekuphikiswa kuyo, ngaphandle kwebala lemfazwe, lulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe. Kungalandela ukuba nokuba nezixhobo eziluncedo kuphela kwimeko engangqinelaniyo lulwaphulo-mthetho ngokunjalo.

Ukusweleka kwabathinjwa ababini basentshona, omnye ungummi waseMelika, kuyintlekele enje, kodwa akusekho njalo ke ukubhubha kwamawaka abantwana base-Yemeni, Pakistani, Afghan, Somali naseLibya, abafazi kunye nabasetyhini ababulewe yile dones enye. Bobabini umongameli kunye nonobhala wakhe wephephandaba bayasiqinisekisa ukuba iziganeko zasePakistan ngoJanuwari ophelileyo "zazingqinelana ngokupheleleyo nezikhokelo apho senza khona iinzame zokuchasana," ishishini njengesiqhelo ngamanye amagama. Kubonakala ukuba kumbono kamongameli, ukufa kubangelwa yinto embi xa kufunyaniswa ukuba abantu basentshona ababengengamaSilamsi babulawa.

Njengomongameli kunye nomphathi oyintloko, ndithatha uxanduva olupheleleyo kuyo yonke imisebenzi yethu yokulwa nobugwenxa, kubandakanya leyo leyo yabulala ubomi bukaWarren noGiovanni, utshilo uMongameli Obama. April 23. Ukusukela ngexesha uMongameli Ronald Reagan athatha uxanduva olupheleleyo kwisivumelwano seengingqi ze-Iran-Contra ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kucacile ukuba ukwamkelwa koxanduva lukamongameli kuthetha ukuba akekho umntu oya kuphenduliswa kwaye akukho nto iya kutshintsha. Uxanduva u-Mongameli u-Obama alwamkelayo amaxhoba amabini kuphela luhle kakhulu ukuba luthathelwe ingqalelo, kunye nokuxolisa kwakhe ngokuyinxalenye, kukunyelisa kwizinkumbulo zabo. Ngezi ntsuku zokugxothwa korhulumente kunye nokugoga kwegosa, kubalulekile ukuba kukho abathile abathabatha uxanduva olupheleleyo kubo bonke abo babuleweyo kwaye benze isenzo sokuyeka ezi zenzo zobundlobongela obungenantlonelo kunye nezoyikisayo.

Kwiintsuku ezintlanu emva kokuba umongameli ebhengeze ukubulawa kukaWeinstein no-Lo Porto, ngo-Epreli 28, ndaba nelungelo lokuba eCarlifonia kunye neqela labantu abazimiseleyo ngaphandle kweBeale Air Force Base, ikhaya le-Global Hawk yokuhlolwa kweliso. Abalishumi elinesithandathu kuthi babanjwa bevalela ukungena kwesiseko, bekhumbula amagama abantwana abaye babulawa kuhlaselo lwe-drone kodwa bengakhange baxolise okanye ngenxa yalonto, nakuphi na ukwamkelwa ukuba basweleke konke konke. Ngomhla ka-Meyi 17, ndandikunye neqela labaphembeleli bokulwa i-drone eWhiteman Air Force Base eMissouri nasekuqaleni kuka-Matshi, kwintlango yaseNevada apho kwabulawa abantu abaninzi ababedlula kwi-Creech Air Force Base yaseCreech. Abemi abanoxanduva baqhankqalaza kwiziseko zedrone eWisconsin, eMicrosoft, eIowa, eNew York eRAF Waddington e-United Kingdom, kwikomkhulu leCIA eLangley, eVirginia, eWhite House nakwezinye iindawo zolwaphulo-mthetho olwenziwa ebantwini.

E-Yemen nase-Pakistan, nabo, abantu bathetha ngokuchasene nokubulawa kwabantu okwenzeka kumazwe abo kwaye basengozini enkulu kubo. Amagqwetha aseReprieve nakwiZiko laseYurophu lezomGaqo-siseko kunye namaLungelo oLuntu bafaka isimangalo kwinkundla yaseJamani, besola ukuba urhulumente waseJamani uye waphula umgaqo-siseko wabo ngokuvumela i-US ukuba isebenzise isitishi se-satellite eRamstein Air Base eJamani ngokubulala ngokubulala. Yemen.

Mhlawumbi ngenye imini uMongameli Obama uza kubanjwa enoxanduva lokubulala. Okwangoku, uxanduva lokuba yena kunye nabaphathi bezolawulo lwethu bakowethu sonke. Akanakuzifihla ngasemva kwenkungu yemfazwe kwaye nathi asinakuba nako.
