IKomidi Lokwabiwa Kwezindlu ngoLwesine igunyaze isichibiyelo esizohoxisa umthetho ka-2001 onikeza umongameli igunya lokulwa ne-al Qaeda kanye nezinkampani ezingaphansi kwayo ngaphandle uma kwakhiwa umbandela wokuvala isikhala.
Abenzi bomthetho bashayele ihlombe ngesikhathi isichibiyelo sengezwa ngevoti lezwi kumthethosivivinywa wokusetshenziswa kwezimali kwezokuvikela, okugqamisa ukukhungatheka kwamalungu amaningi eCongress akuzwayo mayelana nokuGunyazwa Kokusetshenziswa Kwezempi Yezempi (AUMF), okwagunyazwa ekuqaleni ukugunyaza impendulo ku-September 11, 2001, ukuhlaselwa.
Selokhu yasetshenziswa ukuthethelela iMpi yase-Iraq kanye nokulwa ne-Islamic State e-Iraq naseSyria.
Naphezu kokushayelwa ihlombe, akucaci ukuthi izodlula eSenate futhi ifakwe enguqulweni yokugcina yomthethosivivinywa wezindleko zokuvikela. Lesi sichibiyelo sizohoxisa i-AUMF ka-2001 ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingama-240 kulandela ukuphasiswa kwalesi senzo, okuphoqe iCongress ukuthi ivotele i-AUMF entsha okwamanje.
IKomidi leNdlu Yezindaba Zangaphandle lithe ukuchitshiyelwa kwe-AUMF "bekufanele kukhishwe ngaphandle kokuhleleka" ngoba iphaneli ye-Appropriations ayinalo igunya.
“Imithetho Yendlu ithi 'isimiso esishintsha umthetho okhona singase singabikwa kumthethosivivinywa wokwabiwa kwezimali jikelele.' IKomidi Lezangaphandle linegunya lokugunyaza ukusetshenziswa kwebutho lezempi,” kusho uCory Fritz, isekela lomqondisi wethimba lezangaphandle kwezokuxhumana.
U-Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), okuwukuphela kwelungu leCongress elavotela ngokumelene ne-AUMF yokuqala, wethula isichibiyelo.
Izochitha "Ukugunyazwa Okubanzi Kokusetshenziswa Kwebutho Lezempi lango-2001, ngemuva kwesikhathi esiyizinyanga eziyi-8 ngemuva kokwenziwa kwalesi senzo, kunikeze abaphathi kanye neCongress isikhathi esanele sokunquma ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo okufanele zithathelwe indawo," ngokusho kuka-Lee.
Lokho kuzonika iCongress iwindi elincane lokugunyaza i-AUMF entsha, into abenzi bomthetho abanenkinga nayo iminyaka. Imizamo yokuqhubekela phambili nge-AUMF entsha isigcwele idolo amanye amalunga eCongress efuna ukuvimba ukwenza kukamongameli abanye befuna ukunika isiphathamandla inkululeko.
U-Lee uthe ekuqaleni wavotela ngokumelene ne-AUMF ngoba "ngangazi-ke ukuthi izonikeza isheke elingenalutho lokulwa noma kuphi, nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, nganoma yisiphi isikhathi kunoma yimuphi umongameli."
USihlalo wekomidi elincane lezokuvikela le-House Appropriations Kay Granger (R-Texas) nguye yedwa umenzi wezomthetho owaphikisa lesi sichibiyelo, ephikisa ngokuthi yindaba yenqubomgomo engekho kumthethosivivinywa wezabelomali.
I-AUMF "iyadingeka ukulwa nempi yomhlaba wonke yobushokobezi," kusho yena. "Isichibiyelo asihambisani nesivumelwano futhi sizobophezela izandla ze-US ukuthi yenze uhlangothi olulodwa noma nezizwe ezisebenzisanayo mayelana ne-al Qaeda kanye ... nobuphekula obuhlobene. Kukhubaza ikhono lethu lokwenza imisebenzi yokulwa nobushokobezi.”
Ummeli waseDutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) waphawula ukuthi ingxabano ka-Lee yayiwushintshile umqondo wakhe.
“Bengizovotela ukuthi cha, kodwa siyaxoxisana kumanje. Ngizoba nawe kulokhu futhi ukuqina kwakho sekufikile,” kusho yena.
“Uguqula abantu kuyo yonke indawo, Nkk. Lee,” kuncokola uSihlalo we-House Appropriations URodney Frelinghuysen (RN.J.).
I-Congressional Research Service ithole ukuthi i-AUMF ka-2001 isetshenziswe izikhathi ezingaphezu kuka-37 emazweni angu-14 ukuze kuthethelelwe isenzo sezempi.
U-Lee ngonyaka odlule unikeze isichibiyelo esingaphumelelanga esasizomemezela ukuthi azikho izimali kumthethosivivinywa weNdlu ezingase zisetshenziselwe i-AUMF ka-2001.
