Othile wangicela ukuthi ngithole amanga empi kule minyaka embalwa edlule. Mhlawumbe babecabanga ngokuzenzisa okusiza abantu ngokuhlasela iLibya ngo-2011 nase-Iraq ngo-2014, noma izimangalo ezingamanga mayelana nezikhali zamakhemikhali ngo-2013, noma amanga ngamabhanoyi e-Ukraine noma ngokuhlasela okungapheli kweRussia e-Ukraine. Mhlawumbe babecabanga ngezihloko ezisematheni ze- "ISIS Is In Brooklyn" noma izimangalo ezingamanga ezijwayelekile mayelana nobunikazi bezisulu ze-drone noma ukunqotshwa okuseduze okuseduze e-Afghanistan noma kwenye yezinye izimpi. Amanga abonakala emaningi kakhulu kimi ukuthi angangena enkulumweni, noma ngike ngazama kaningi, futhi agqinsiwe phezu kwesisekelo samanga ajwayelekile mayelana nokuthi yini esebenzayo, yini esemthethweni, nokuthi yikuphi ukuziphatha. Ukukhethwa kwamanga nje kwePrince Tribute kungafaka i-viagra kaQadaffi yamasosha nefulegi lamathoyizi ezocansi eCNN njengobufakazi be-ISIS eYurophu. Kunzima ukusula ingaphezulu kwayo yonke impi yase-US okutho okuncane kunencwadi, yingakho ngibhalile incwadi.
Ngakho, ngiphendula ukuthi ngizofuna impi ikhona ku-2016 kuphela. Kodwa lokho kwakunendlela enkulu kakhulu, nakanjani. Ngake ngazama ukuthola wonke amanga enkulumweni eyodwa ngu-Obama futhi ngiphelela nje ukubhala ngakho abaphezulu abangama-45. Ngakho-ke, ngibuke izinkulumo ezimbili zakamuva kakhulu kuwebhusayithi yeWhite House, eyodwa ngu-Obama kanti enye nguSusan Rice. Ngicabanga ukuthi banikeza ubufakazi obanele bokuthi sikhohliswa kanjani.
Enkulumweni ka-Ephreli 13th ku-CIA, uMongameli uBarack Obama limenyezelwe, "Omunye wemiyalezo yami eyinhloko namuhla ukuthi ukubhubhisa i-ISIL kuyaqhubeka nokuba seqhulwini kimi." Ngakusasa, enkulumweni eya e-US Air Force Academy, uMeluleki Wezokuphepha Kazwelonke uSusan Rice ephindaphindiwe isimangalo: "Namuhla kusihlwa, ngithanda ukugxila kusongo olulodwa ikakhulukazi - usongo oluphezulu kakhulu ezinhlelweni zikaMongameli u-Obama - futhi yilokho ISIL." Futhi nangu uSenator uBernie Sanders ngesikhathi senkulumompikiswano yokuqala kamongameli eBrooklyn, NY: “Njengamanje impi yethu wukucekela phansi i-ISIS kuqala, nokuqeda u-Assad okwesibili.”
Lo mlayezo womphakathi, ozwakala ngokuphindaphindiwe ekamelweni elisemthethweni le-media echo, ungase ubonakale ungadingekile, unikezwe izinga lokwesaba kwe-ISIS / ISIL emphakathini wase-US nokubaluleka izindawo zomphakathi ngale ndaba. Kodwa izivolonti zinakho kubonisiwe ukuthi abantu bakholelwa ukuthi umengameli awuthathi ingozi ngokujulile.
Eqinisweni, ukuqwashisa sekuqalile kancane kancane ekusakazeni ukuthi uhlangothi lweMpi yaseSyria iNdlu eNtshonalanga ifuna ukungenelela ku-2013, futhi eqinisweni selivele selisekela, isalokhu lusekela phambili, okuyilokuqothula uhulumeni waseSiriya. Lokho bekube umgomo wohulumeni wase-US kusukela ngaphambili izenzo ze-US e-Iraq nase-Syria zisiza ukudala i-ISIS endaweni yokuqala (izenzo ezithathiwe ngesikhathi ukwazi ukuthi umphumela onjalo wawunokwenzeka). Ukusiza lokhu kwaziswa kube yindlela eRussia ehlukile empini, kubika i-United States ukuzivikela al Qaeda eSiriya (ukuhlela ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali eziningi ngosuku olufanayo nenkulumo kaRice), kanye no ividiyo kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaMashi lapho uMnyango wePhini likaMengameli wePhini likaMengameli uMark Toner kubuzwa umbuzo wokuthi i-ISIS eyesabekayo i-ISIS kumele ingazange iphendule ukuphendula, kodwa yiyiphi i-Toner eyathola kunzima kakhulu:
INTATHELI: “Ngabe uyafuna ukubona umbuso uthatha iPalmyra? Noma ungathanda ukuthi ihlale ezandleni zeDaesh? ”
UMARK TONER: “Ngempela - bheka - ngicabanga, ngicabanga ukuthi yini ebesingathanda ukuyibona, izingxoxo zezepolitiki, lelo qophelo lezepolitiki, eliqhakazile. Kuyingxenye yesizathu sikaNobhala eMoscow namuhla, um, ukuze sikwazi ukuqhubeka nenqubo yezepolitiki, um, futhi sijulise futhi siqinise ukumiswa kobutha, kube ukuphela kwempi yangempela, bese, thina. . . "
INTATHELI: “Awuphenduli umbuzo wami.”
MARK TONER: “Ngiyazi ukuthi angiyena.” [Ukuhleka.]
UHillary Clinton naye neocon Abalingani eCongress bakholelwa ukuthi u-Obama uphambene nokungabhomu iSiriya ngo-2013. Ungalokothi ukhohlwe ukuthi inkambo enjalo ngokuqinisekile yayiyoqinisa amaqembu amaphekula ahambisa umphakathi wase-US ukusekela impi ku-2014. (Khumbula, umphakathi uthi akukho ku-2013 futhi ishintshiwe Isinqumo sika-Obama sokuqhumisa ngebhomu iSyria, kepha amavidiyo abandakanya abamhlophe baseMelika nemimese anqoba umphakathi omningi wase-US ngo-2014, yize bejoyina uhlangothi olwahlukile lwaleyo mpi.) Ama-neocons afuna “indawo yezimpukane,” uClinton ayibiza ngokuthi "Indawo ephephile" yize i-ISIS ne-al Qaeda bengenazo izindiza, futhi ngaphandle komlawuli we-NATO ukukhomba ukuthi into enjalo isenzo sempi kungekho lutho oluphephile ngakho.
Abaningi embusweni wase-US bafuna ngisho nika izikhali zokulwa nezindiza "zamahlubuka". Njengoba izindiza zaseMelika nezase-UN kulezo zibhakabhaka, umuntu ukhunjuzwa ngezikaMongameli wangaleso sikhathi uGeorge W. Bush Uhlelo ngokuqala impi ne-Iraq: “I-US ibicabanga ukundiza izindiza zokuhlola i-U2 ezinezembozo zempi e-Iraq, ezidwetshwe ngemibala ye-UN. Uma uSaddam ebadubula, uzobe ephule umthetho. ”
Akuwona nje ama-neocon anamandla. UMongameli u-Obama akakaze asilahle isikhundla sakhe sokuthi uhulumeni wase-Assad kumele ahambe, noma ngisho nowakhe kakhulu kakhulu Isimangalo se-2013 sinobufakazi bokuthi u-Assad wasebenzisa izikhali zamakhemikhali. UNobhala wezwe uJohn Kerry unayo kuqhathaniswa Assad kuHitler. Kodwa kubukeka sengathi izinsolo ezithandabuzekayo zomuntu ophethe noma osebenzisa uhlobo olungelona lwezikhali azisakwenzeli umphakathi wase-US ngemuva kwe-Iraq 2003. Izinsongo zokuthi azisikhuthazi isifo somkhuhlane emphakathini wase-US (noma ukusekela kusuka eRussia naseChina) ngemuva kweLibya 2011. Ngokuphikisana nezinsumansumane ezidumile nezimangalo zeWhite House, uQadaffi kwakungesongo ukubulawa kwabantu, futhi impi leyo usongo eyasetshenziselwa ukuqala ngokushesha yaba yimpi yokugumbuqela umbuso. Isidingo esivuthayo sokugumbuqela omunye uhulumeni wehluleka ukudala ukuzethemba emphakathini obonwe izinhlekelele zenziwa e-Iraq naseLibya, kepha hhayi e-Iran lapho kugwenywe khona impi (futhi hhayi naseTunisia lapho kusetshenziswe khona amathuluzi anamandla kakhulu wokungabi nodlame ).
Uma izikhulu zase-US zifuna impi eSiriya, ziyazi ukuthi indlela yokugcina umphakathi wase-US eceleni kwabo ukukwenza ngezilwane ezingezona umuntu ezibulala ngemimese. Kuthiwa uSusan Rice we-ISIS kuye inkulumo, eyaqala ngomzabalazo womndeni wakhe wokulwa nobandlululo: "Kuyethusa ukubona isihluku esibi kakhulu salezi zingwazi ezisontekile." Kusho Obama e-CIA: “Laba maphekula abonakele basenalo ikhono lokuhlukumeza abantu abangenacala, nokuhlubuka komhlaba wonke. Ngokuhlaselwa okuthandayo, i-ISIL inethemba lokwenza buthaka ukuzimisela kwethu ngokuhlanganyela. Nakulokhu futhi, bahlulekile. Ubuqaba babo buqinisa ubumbano nokuzimisela kwethu ukusula le nhlangano yamaphekula embi ebusweni bomhlaba. . . . Njengoba ngishilo kaninginingi, okuwukuphela kwendlela yokucekela phansi i-ISIL ukuqeda impi yombango yaseSyria esetshenziswe yi-ISIL. Ngakho-ke siyaqhubeka nokusebenzela ukunxenxa izingxabano zale ngxabano ebabazekayo. ”
Nazi izinkinga eziyinhloko kuleli sitatimende:
I-1) I-United States isichithe iminyaka eminingi isebenza ukuze igweme ukuphela kwesiphathimandla, ivimbela imizamo ye-UN, wenqaba Iziphakamiso zaseRussia, nokugcwala kwendawo ngezikhali. I-United States ayizami ukuqeda impi ukuze yehlule i-ISIS; izama ukususa u-Assad ngenhloso yokwenza buthakathaka i-Iran neRussia nokuqeda uhulumeni ongakhethi ukuba yingxenye yombuso wase-US.
I-2) I-ISIS ayikakhuli ngokuxhaphaza impi eyayingeyona ingxenye yayo. I-ISIS ayithembi ukumisa ukuhlaselwa kwe-US. ISIS beka amafilimu ekhuthaza i-United States ukuba ihlasele. I-ISIS isebenzisa ubuphekula ngaphesheya ukuze ivuse ukuhlaselwa. Ukuqashelwa kwe-ISIS kuye kwanda njengoba sekubonwe njengesitha se-imperialism yase-US.
I-3) Ukuzama ukubumbana ngenkathi uzama ukusula umuntu ebusweni bomhlaba akunasidingo noma kuyaphikisana. Kungani uqeda izimbangela zobuphekula uma uzobhubhisa abantu abanesihluku abasebenza kukho?
Amaphuzu agxile ku-Assad aphikisana nokugxila ku-ISIS, futhi lokho kuhlasela kwe-ISIS noma amanye amaqembu anezimpili namadronesi awahluli, amaphuzu eyenziwe yizikhulu eziningi eziphezulu zase-United States mzuzu lapho bethatha umhlalaphansi. Kepha leyo mibono iphikisana nomqondo wokuthi ezempi ziyasebenza, futhi nomqondo othile wokuthi ziyasebenza njengamanje. Ngemuva kwakho konke, sitshelwa ukuthi i-ISIS ihlala ezintanjeni, lapho umholi wayo oyedwa noma ngaphezulu emenyezelwa njengofile cishe njalo ngesonto. Nakhu UMongameli Obama ngoMashi 26: "Besithatha ubuholi be-ISIL, futhi kuleli sonto, sisuse omunye wabaholi babo abaphezulu enkundleni yempi - unomphela." Ngibheka igama elithi "inkundla yempi" uqobo lwayo njengamanga, njengoba izimpi zase-US zilwelwa emoyeni phezu kwemizi yabantu, hhayi enkundleni. Kepha u-Obama uqhubeka engeza i-doozie yangempela lapho ethi: "I-ISIL iyingozi emhlabeni wonke ophucukile."
Ngomqondo obuthakathaka, lawo mazwi angaba yiqiniso kunoma iyiphi inhlangano ekhuthaza ubudlova enokufinyelela kwi-intanethi (Fox News Ngokwesibonelo). Kepha ukuze kube yiqiniso nganoma yimuphi umqondo obalulekile bekuhlala kungqubuzana nalokho okwakuthiwa umphakathi wezobunhloli owaziwa ngu-Obama, usho kanje leyo ISIS ayilona usongo eMelika. Kuzo zonke izihloko ezikhala ukuthi i-ISIS isondela ezansi nomgwaqo wase-US, akukabibikho bufakazi bokuthi i-ISIS ibibandakanyeka kunoma yini e-United States, ngaphandle kokuthonya abantu ngezinhlelo zezindaba zase-US noma ukukhuthaza i-FBI ukuthi isethe abantu. Ukubandakanyeka kwe-ISIS ekuhlaselweni eYurophu kube ngokoqobo ngokwengeziwe, noma okungenani kwafunwa yi-ISIS, kepha amaphuzu ambalwa abalulekile alahlekile kuyo yonke i-vitriol ebhekiswe "kuma-brute asontekile."
I-1) i-ISIS izimangalo ukuhlaselwa kwayo “kusabela ekuhlaselweni” yizwe “lempi yenkolo,” njengoba nje onke amaphekula alwa neNtshonalanga esho njalo, engalokothi nakancane azonde inkululeko.
2) Izizwe zaseYurophu ziye zaba ujabule ukuvumela osolwa ukuthi izigebengu ziya eSiriya (lapho zingase zilwe khona nokuqothulwa kukahulumeni waseSiriya), kanti ezinye zalezi zigebengu ziye zabuyela eYurophu.
I-3) Njengamandla okubulala, i-ISIS ayikwenziwanga ngokukhululekile nohulumeni abaningi abahlomile futhi basekelwa yi-United States, kuhlanganise ne-Saudi Arabia, futhi nakanjani kufaka phakathi isosha lase-US ngokwayo, eliye lawa amashumi ezinkulungwane amabhomu eSiriya nase-Iraq, bhala phezulu IYunivesithi yaseMosul ngonyaka we-13th we-Shock and Awe ne-92 ebulawe futhi i-135 yalimala ngokusho umthombo eMosul, nangobulungisa zashintsha “imithetho” yayo yokubulala izakhamizi ukuze ihambisane kancane nokuziphatha kwayo.
I-4) Empeleni izinyathelo eziwusizo njengesiyaluyalu kanye nokusizwa komsebenzi akusiwa kuthathwa ngokungathí sina nhlobo, nesinye isikhulu sezindiza se-US Air Force ukukhomba ukuthi i-United States ayisoze yachitha ama- $ 60,000 kubuchwepheshe ukuvimbela indlala eSyria, njengoba ne-United States isebenzisa imicibisholo ebiza ngaphezulu kwe- $ 1 million lilinye njengalapho liphelelwa yisikhathi - empeleni ibasebenzisa ngokushesha okukhulu kangangokuba iba sengozini iyaphela kwanoma yikuphi ukulahla abantu ngaphandle kokudla okunesithakazelo esincane sokumisa.
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, i-ISIS iphinde ilungiswe ngosuku ngokuthumela amasosha amaningi ase-US e-Iraq, lapho amasosha ase-US nezikhali zase-US kudale khona izimo zokuzalwa kwe-ISIS. Ngalesi sikhathi kuphela, bangamandla “angalwi” “akhethekile”, aholela intatheli eyodwa esithangamini nabezindaba sika-Ephreli 19 e-White House ukubuza, “Ngabe lokhu kubhuduza kancane? Amasosha aseMelika ngeke abambe iqhaza empini? Ngoba zonke izinkomba nokuhlangenwe nakho kwamuva kubonisa ukuthi kungenzeka kunjalo. ” Impendulo eqondile ibingatholakali.
Kuthiwani ngalawo mabutho? USusan Rice utshele ama-Air Force cadet, ngaphandle kokubuza abantu baseMelika, ukuthi abantu baseMelika "ngeke baziqhenye" ngabo. Uchaze i-cadet ephothula iziqu ngo-1991 futhi ekhathazeka ngokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi uziphuthele zonke izimpi. Ungalokothi wesabe, uthe, “amakhono akho — ubuholi bakho — azofunwa kakhulu emashumini eminyaka azayo. . . . Nganoma yiluphi usuku, kungenzeka ukuthi sibhekene nezenzo ezinobudlova zaseRussia e-Ukraine [lapho, ngokungahambisani nenganekwane kanye neWhite House, iRussia ayizange ihlasele kepha i-United States yenze kwaba nokugumbuqelwa], okwenzeka eSouth China Sea [okusobala ukuthi igama lalo alibizwa ngegama, njengoba ingeyaseMelika kanye nekoloni lakhona lasePhilippines], imicibisholo yaseNyakatho Korea iyaqala [kanjani, ngicela ukubuza, umshayeli wendiza ye-Air Force uzobhekana nalezo, noma imicibisholo ejwayelekile kakhulu yase-US yalolo daba?], noma ezomnotho emhlabeni jikelele ukungazinzi [kuthuthukiswe ngokudume ngokugijima ngamabhomu]. . . . Sibhekene nosongo lokuthuthukisa ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu. ” Umbutho Wezomoya, amajethi awo aphakathi kwabakhiqizi abakhulu bezinguquko zesimo sezulu, azohlasela ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu? uyibhomu? uyesabise nge-drones?
"Angazi ukuthi wonke umuntu ukhule ephupha ngokushayela i-drone," kusho uRice. Kepha, "impi yedrone ithola indlela yayo kokuzayo Top Gun enye inkondlo elama. Lawa ma- [drone] abalulekile kulo mkhankaso nakusasa. Ngakho-ke, njengoba ubheka izinketho zomsebenzi, yazi ukuthi [ukushayela i-drone] kuyindlela eqinisekile yokulwa. ”
Vele, iziteleka ze-drone zingaqabukela zingabikho uma belandela "imithetho" kaMongameli u-Obama abazibekele yona efuna ukuthi bangabulali bantu, bangabulali muntu ongabanjwa, futhi babulale kuphela abantu (ngokwesabekayo uma kungenangqondo) "abaseduze" nokuqhubeka ”kusongela i-United States. Ngisho nefilimu lefilosofi elisizwa amasosha Iso elisesibhakabhakeni ivumela ukusongela okuseduze kubantu base-Afrika, kodwa akukho nhlobo isongo emazweni ase-United States. Ezinye izimo (amathekisthi ahlonziwe angakwazi ukuboshwa, futhi aqaphele ukugwema ukubulala abanye) zihlangene ngokungaqondakali kulowo mfilimu kodwa ngokungajwayelekile uma kwenzeka njalo. Indoda ethi uDrones uzame ukumbulala izikhathi ezine ePakistan uye eYurophu kule nyanga ukubuza ukuze kuthathwe izinhlu zokubulala. Uyobe ephephile uma ehlala lapho, ekwahlulela esikhathini esedlule ukubulala izisulu ezingase ziboshwe.
Lokhu kuvamile ukubulala nokubandakanya ekubulaleni kuyisimo sobuhlungu besimasiko sethu. Umengameli wompikiswano kamuva Ebuzwa ukhetho lomongameli uma ethanda ukubulala izinkulungwane zezingane ezingenacala njengengxenye yemisebenzi yakhe eyisisekelo. Emazweni ayisikhombisa uMongameli Obama uziqhenya ngokuqhuma kwamabhomu, abaningi abangenacala babulawa. Kodwa umbulali ophezulu webutho lase-US uzibulala.
“Siyakwamukela e-White House!” wathi UMongameli u-Obama "empini elimele" ngo-Ephreli 14. "Ngiyabonga, William, ngomsebenzi wakho ovelele, nomndeni wakho omuhle. Manje, sinemicimbi eminingi lapha e-White House, kepha bambalwa abakhuthazayo njengalo. Eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule, lokhu sekungomunye wamasiko esiwathandayo. Kulo nyaka, sinabagibeli bomsebenzi abangama-40 abasebenzayo kanye nama-veteran angama-25. Abaningi benu bayalulama ekulimaleni okukhulu. Ufunde ukujwayela impilo entsha. Abanye benu basasebenza ngamanxeba okunzima ukuwabona, njengokucindezeleka kwangemva kwenhlekelele. . . . Uphi uJason? Kukhona uJason khona lapho. UJason usebenze izinkambo ezine zokulwa e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq. Wafika ekhaya umzimba wakhe uphelele, kodwa ngaphakathi wayelwa namanxeba angabonwa muntu. Futhi uJason akanandaba nokuthi ngikutshele konke ukuthi wacindezeleka ngokwanele waze wacabanga nokuzibulala. ”
Angazi ngawe, kepha lokhu kungikhuthaza kakhulu ukuthi ngikhulume iqiniso ngempi futhi ngizame ukuqeda.
