Kusukela I-American Conservative
Ngolwesithathu, embukisweni wobumbano lwe-bipartisan ngokumelene nezimpi ezingagunyaziwe zokukhetha, amaSenator uMike Lee (R-Utah), uBernie Sanders (D-Vt.), noChris Murphy (D-Conn.) ngesibindi wethula isisombululo ngokuhlanganyela seSenate ngaphansi kweWar Powers Act, eyalela uMongameli uTrump ukuthi amise yonke imisebenzi yamasosha aseMelika eY Yemen.
Uma kudlula, umongameli ubezoba nezinsuku ze-30 zokumisa amabutho ase-US nezinsizakusebenza ukuthi aqhubeke nokusiza ukungqubuzana okuholwa iSaudi maqondana neHouthis lapho. Le mpi ibilokhu iqhubeka ngeminyaka emibili futhi iholele ezigidini zabantu base-Yemeni ababalekayo, bebulawa yindlala, futhi bephethwe yibhubhane lekholera eliyinhlekelele.
Phakathi ku ingqungquthela yabezindaba ehlanganyelwe, U-Lee noSanders bathe amasosha ase-US "abelokhu ehlanganyela" nobumbano oluholwa yiSaudi lokulwa nehlongandlebe laseHouthis e-Yemen ngezindlela ezimbili ezibucayi: ukufaka uphethiloli amabhomu aseSaudi nokuhlinzeka ngezobunhloli eziqonde emoyeni. Le misebenzi bekufanele idale isimemezelo sempi noma ukugunyazwa kwamandla ngaphansi koMthetho Wamandla Wempi.
"Lo mthetho awukhethi noma awukhuthazi, ungowaseDemocrat noma owaseRiphabhulikhi - ungumthethosisekelo," kusho uLee.
"Njengoba ingqungquthela ingazange imemezele impi noma amabutho agunyaziwe kule mpi ukubandakanyeka kwethu akukho emthethweni futhi akukho emthethweni," kusho uSanders. "Sekuyisikhathi eside ukuthi ingqungquthela ibuye iphinde futhi ibambe igunya layo ngokomthethosisekelo."
IPentagon sekuyisikhathi eside iguqula ukuphepha kwezwe kube yizindlovu ukuze kuthethelelwe izimpi ezingekho emthethweni nezabelomali ezigcwele igazi. Ibalekela phesheya ifuna izidleke zama-hornet ukubhubhisa nokwakha abaphikisi abasha bokulwa. Emehlweni ethu esiphikisayo wezempi wezimboni wezinkulungwane zamarandi
Lezi zinhlaka ezingemuva zichaza ukungenelela kwethu ngokungahambisani noMthethosisekelo naseY Yemen.
Njengamanje, usizo oluqhubekayo lwamasosha aseMelika lusenza sibe nokulwa neSaudi Arabia ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe omhlaba. Kwenza amasosha ethu abhekiswe ngokusemthethweni ekuhlaselweni yiHouthi. Kwenza i-United States ihlanganyele ebugebengwini bempi baseSaudi Arabia obenzelwe izakhamizi, kubandakanya nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu kwamakhulu emizi kanye nendlala yezigidi ezibangelwe ukuvinjelwa kwaseSaudi.
AmaHouthis awabeki engcupheni iMelika. Ababhalwanga njengenhlangano yamaphekula angaphandle. Phakathi kokunye, balwa nezitha zethu ezinkulu, i-al Qaeda kanye ne-Islamic State of Iraq neLevant, zombili ezibalwe njengezinhlangano zamaphekula zakwamanye amazwe.
Abaduni baka-19 9/11 ababulala babandakanya ama-Saudis ayi-15 no-zero Houthis. Umbiko wenhlangano uthinte izikhulu zaseSaudi Arabia ngo-9/11, hhayi uHouthis.
AmaHouthis angamaShiites, okubenza babe ngabangakholwa emehlweni eSunni Wahhabi Saudi Arabia. Amahlelo aphikisanayo amaSulumane abelokhu elwa amakhulu eminyaka njengoba amaProthestani namaKatolika enza eYurophu ngemuva kukaMartin Luther. Izwe laseMelika alinayo inja yezokuphepha kuzwelonke kuleyo mpi engapheli yamahlelo. Imali yethu esisebenzisana nayo neSaudi Arabia icebisa amaphesenti ama-MICC 1, kepha kulimaza ukuchuma nokuphepha kwamanye amaphesenti angama-99.
Iqale ngaphansi kukaMongameli uBarack Obama futhi yaqhubeka ngaphansi kukaMongameli Trump, imali yethu esisebenzisana nayo empini yaseYemen ayihambisani neze nomthethosisekelo. Kuphula futhi ne-War Powers Resolution yango-1973 (WPR), ethi uMongameli angahlanganyela ne-United States kuphela ezenzakalweni ezilandela isimemezelo sempi, ukugunyazwa okusemthethweni, noma ukuphendula udlame lwangempela noma olusondelene ne-US:
Wonke umuntu obambe iqhaza ekwakhiweni nasekumisweni kabusha koMthethosisekelo wavumelana noJames Madison encwadini yakhe ayibhalela uThomas Jefferson: “Umthethosisekelo ucabanga ukuthi, okutshengiswa yiHistory yabo bonke oHulumeni, ukuthi i-Executive igatsha lamandla elithanda kakhulu impi, futhi lithambekele kakhulu kuyo. Ngokunjalo ngokunakekela okufundwe, yanikeza umbuzo ngempi esiShayamthetho.
ICongress, noma kunjalo, ayikaze imemezele impi yokulwa namaHouthis. Akukaze kugunyaze ngisho nokuhlanganyela kwethu embuthweni wezempi ngokumelene nabo. Ukugunyazwa kokusetshenziswa kweMpi Yezempi okwenziwa ngonyaka we-2001 ngemuva nje kokunyanyeka kuka-9/11 kufinyelelwe ngoba izinhloso zale mpi akubona abantu noma izinhlangano ezisolwa ngokusebenzisana ngo-9/11. Futhi yize iCongress yabele imali ngalokhu kungqubuzana, ukwabiwa kwenhlangano ngeke kuthathwe njengemvume yokusebenzisa umongameli wezempi ngaphansi kwesigaba 8 (a) (1) se-WPR.
Ukubambisana kwemali kukaMongameli noTrump neSaudi Arabia nakho kuchaza isigaba 5 (b), esiqinisa ukuphathiswa okukhethekile kwamandla oMthethosisekelo kuCongress ngaphansi kweSimemezelo Sempi (Isigaba I, isigaba 8, isigatshana 11) ngokuvimbela nomongameli kusuka ekusebenziseni unilaterally i-USAF ezenzweni zakwamanye amazwe isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinsuku ezingama-60.
UMongameli u-Obama noTrump abakaze bacele iCongress ukuthi igunyaze umphathi wabo wezempi ongahambisani nomthethosisekelo e-Yemen ngoba bayazi futhi bayazi ukuthi bazolahlekelwa yivoti kanye nokwesekwa kwabantu baseMelika. USomlomo weNdlu uPaul Ryan, oyisisekelo seWhite House, uphazamise ukuvotelwa kweNdlu ngesizathu esifanayo.
Ngamanye amazwi, ngendlela yabadwebi baseRussia nabaseShayina, ubuholi bethu bezepolitiki buyenqaba amavoti kubambisene nathi eY Yemen ukuze sinqande intando yabantu baseMelika nezindawo ezinkulu zenhlangano.
Ngenhlanhla, ukucindezela kwezomthetho kwanamuhla kukaSenator Lee, uSanders noMurphy kungenzeka kube yilokho deus ex machina besilinde.
Isikhathi sokubuyisa ukuhleleka komthethosisekelo okujwayelekile ezindabeni zempi nokuthula sesidlulile isikhathi. Isinqumo sikaLee-Sanders-Murphy siyisiqalo esikhuthazayo. Ukusuka lapho kuzoba yizakhamizi ukubiza, ukuthumela i-imeyili, nokuthumela imiyalezo kubasenenja base-United States, futhi zifune ukuthi nabo babe ngabaxhasi. Ingozi enkulu enkululeko, ngemuva kwakho konke, ngabantu abangenalutho.
