Makhe ndibeke ngale ndlela, utshilo uMnu Biden. Awuzange uve namnye kubo engena kule ngxoxo mpela de babhengeza uMongameli.
Umnumzana Biden, owayebaleka iphulo lika Mongameli ngo-1988, yindoda ekholelwa ukuba ixesha lakhe sele lifikile, ebhengeza le veki ukuba wayegcwalisa amaphepha okwenza u-2008 ukuba abe ngumongameli osemthethweni. Nangona evuma ukuba notyekelo lokuqhambuka, ucinga ukuba igqwetha elinobukrwada elinemiphetho erhabaxa kunokuba yile nto iqela liyifunayo ngoku.
Iidemokhrasi zonyula abagqatswa abafanelekileyo ngo-2000 nango-2004, utshilo, kwaye abakwazanga ukunxibelelana.
Nangona uMnu Biden, 64, engazange azifezekise iinjongo zakhe zesizwe, kule minyaka idlulileyo uvele njengenye yeqela leengcali zomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle. Kwiveki ephelileyo, ukhokele ukubuyela umva kweDemokhrasi ngokuchasene nesicwangciso sikaMongameli sokwandisa amanqanaba e-Iraq, ephikisa inyathelo ngesigqibo esingabopheleliyo ethe iqela lakhe lahlangana. Ngomhla wamva nje evekini, ebexoxa nabachasi bakhe ngaphezulu kwesitya sesuphu yetumato kwikona yedinala eDelaware, malunga nemizuzu eli-15 yokuqhuba ukusuka kwiofisi yakhe yeSenate. Wayenxibe i-cardigan ebomvu kunye nehempe eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ngamanye amaxesha ephakamisa ilizwi lakhe elirhabaxa ngaphezulu kwesandi sesandisi-lizwi esibiza abathengi ukuba bathabathe iisendwitshi zabo. Wayebonakalise ephethe incwadana kaMead ezaliswe ngamanqaku okuthetha abhalwe ngesandla, kodwa xa sele eqalile, wayivala incwadi wayityhalela ecaleni.
Isifundo akhetha ukuthetha ngaso kwezi ntsuku-ngakumbi xa ethelekisa abo babeza kuba ziimbangi zakhe zika-Mongameli-yi-Iraq. Ethetha ngesindululo sikaNkosk. Samva nje sokuthimba amajoni aseMelika kunye nokusongela iinkokheli zaseIraq ngokunciphisa imali, uMnu Biden wehlise ilizwi lakhe kwaye woyame kufutshane netafile.
Ukusuka kwinxalenye yesindululo sikaHillary, eyona nto indibhidayo yile, ‘Siza kufundisa amaIraq isifundo.’ Asiyi kubaxhobisa? KULUNGILE. Ngaba sithatha umkhosi wethu kwaye sirhoxise inkxaso kwi-Iraq? Ngu-a ngokwenene uluvo olulungile. Iziphumo zesikhundla sikaNksk.Clinton kwi-Iraq, uMnu Biden uthi, ngekhe ibeyintlekele.
Uninzi lwee-polls zakuqala zibonisa uNksk.Clinton njengeqela eliphambili lembaleki. Umnumzana Biden, usihlalo weKomiti yeeNdlu zeeNgwevu zaNgaphandle, uzinzile kakhulu kwipakethi yabagqatswa besithathu. Okwangoku, ucinga ukuba ngexesha elinobungozi kwimbali yesizwe, abavoti bafuna umntu onamava akhe ukuba athathe isikhundla.
Ngaba baya kujika kuHillary Clinton? U-Biden ubuze, ehlisa ilizwi lakhe ukuze atsho ukuba kutheni uNkosazana Clinton engazukuphumelela kunyulo. Wonke umntu emhlabeni uyamazi, utshilo. Umyeni wakhe usebenzise zonke izixhobo ezisemthethweni endaweni yakhe ukutshixa abantu ngaphakathi, ukuvala abantu. Esemthethweni. Kwaye akanakuphuma kwiipesenti ezingama-30 kukhetho lweeDemokhrasi? Ufuna ukuba phi? Ngaba uyafuna ukuba kwindawo apho iipesenti ezili-100 zedemokhrasi zikwazi? Baye bakujonga kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo. Kwaye ezine kwezili-10 yeyona max ungayifumana?
UMnu Biden ngokulinganayo uyathandabuza-nangona kunjalo ngendlela ethe kratya-malunga noMnu Obama. Ndiyathetha, ungowokuqala wase-Afrika-waseMelika othethileyo kwaye oqaqambileyo kwaye ucocekile kwaye ukhangeleka kakuhle, utshilo. Ndiyathetha, yincwadi yamabali leyo, ndoda.
Kodwa-kwaye kodwa kodwa yayingenakuphepheka-uyathandabuza ukuba abavoti baseMelika bazonyula ixesha elinye, umfana osebenze iminyaka emine kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu, wongeza wathi: Andikhumbuli ndisiva ilizwi elivela kuBarack malunga icebo okanye iqhinga. (Emva kodliwanondlebe noMnu Biden kwaye kwakamsinya phambi kwexesha lokushicilela, uMnu. Obama waphakamisa umthetho owawuza kufuna ukuba onke amabrigade aseMelika arhoxiswe e-Iraq ekupheleni kuka-Matshi 2008.)
Umnumzana Biden ubonakala ngathi ugculele u-Edwards, ohlupheke ngenxa yokunqongophala komgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle kunyulo luka-Mongameli luka-2004. Andiqondi ukuba uJohn Edwards uyayazi le nto athetha ngayo, Mnu. U-Biden uthe, xa ebuzwa malunga nommeli kaMnu Edwards wokurhoxa kwangoko malunga nama-40,000 amajoni aseMelika e-Iraq. UJohn Edwards ufuna wena nabo bonke abaDemokhrasi ukuba nicinge, 'Ndifuna siphume apho,' kodwa xa ubuya uye uthi, 'Kulungile, John'-apha, igama elithi John laba sisimangalo, esihlekisayo- 'uthini isiphithiphithi esiza kubakho? Ngaba sinomdla, John, osele kuloo mmandla? ’Ewe, uJohn kuya kufuneka aphendule ewe okanye hayi. Ukuba uthi ewe, zithini? Zeziphi ezo zinto zinomdla, John? Ukhusela njani loo mdla, John, ukuba urhoxile ngokupheleleyo? Ngaba urhoxile kwingingqi, John? Ngaba urhoxisiwe e-Iraq, John? Ngaliphi ixesha? Ke yonke le nto ifana neFluffernutter engaphaya. Ke mna, into endicinga ukuba uyayenza kukuba nombono oqinisekileyo. Kwaye banokuba nayo-banobuchule ngokwaneleyo ukuba bangayichazi.
Iithagethi zokugxekwa kuka Mnu Biden, nokuba kukothuka, ukungakhathali okanye ukubala ukuba bekungayi kuba bubulumko kule meko ukudibana nomlilo ngomlilo, ale ukuphendula ngendlela efanayo. Isithethi sephulo lika-Obama uBill Burton ubhale kwi-imeyile: USenator Obama wayichasa iMfazwe yase-Iraq ukusukela ngomhla we-1 kwaye uchaze imigaqo ecacileyo malunga nendlela yokujongana neempazamo ezimbi ezenziwe nguMongameli Bush apho. Ngokuphumla-kubandakanya ukusebenzisa kukaMnu Biden kwamagama achazayo kwaye ujongeka emhle ukuchaza uSenator wase-Illinois-isithethi sathi, amazwi kaSenator Biden ayazithetha.
Ii-ofisi zeendaba zikaNkskz kunye noMnu. Edwards zenqabile ukuthetha nantoni na.
Ngokuchasene noko uMnu Biden uchaza ngenye indlela njengolumkiso lwabachasi bakhe kunye nokuqina kwabo kwinyani, uSenator waseDelaware sele eneenyanga etyhola isicwangciso esibanzi sokwahlula i-Iraq yaba yimimandla yamaShiite, yamaSunni neyamaKurd ephikisanayo, ukutsho Okokugqibela. Ngaphantsi kwesicwangciso, ubupolisa basekuhlaleni kunye nemithetho iya kuba luxanduva lwabaphathi bengingqi. Uninzi lwamajoni aseMelika luza kurhoxiswa, kushiyeke inani elincinci lokunceda kwimisebenzi yokulwa ubunqolobi. Isiphithiphithi esalandelayo esivela kwimfuduko yobuhlanga e-Iraq yayiza kubakho ngoncedo loxinzelelo lwezopolitiko olwenziwe yinkomfa yabamelwane base-Iraq.
Kodwa uluvo lokuvunywa kwaseMelika komfelandawonye waseIraq kule migca kutsalile ukugxekwa malunga nayo yonke ikona yemibono yomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle. Umhlala-phantsi uGeneral Wesley Clark, omnye umgqatswa onokubakho ku-2008 odlale indima enkulu kuthethathethwano ngeentetho zoxolo ezaphelisa imfazwe eBosnia, uthe kudliwanondlebe lwakutsha nje ukuba icebo leBiden liza kuba nabantu abakwizixeko ezixubileyo njengeBaghdad bebalekela ubomi babo. URichard Perle, omnye wabazobi abaphambili bemfazwe eIraq, owarhoxa kwisikhundla sakhe sokucebisa ePentagon ngo-2003 emva kwempikiswano eyayinomdla kwinzala, eyabiza umbono wokuba ngumvundla. Kwaye mhlawumbi okona kubalulekileyo, umbhali wokuqala wesicwangciso sokwahlulahlula, owayesakuba ngumongameli weBhunga lezoBudlelwane baNgaphandle u-Leslie Gelb, ucebise ukuba isiphithiphithi esivuthayo emhlabeni e-Iraq kusenokwenzeka ukuba besele sisenzile ukuba singasebenzi.
Umnumzana Biden uphikisa ukugxeka kwabo ngokugxininisa ukuba i-Iraq sele iqhekekile ngenxa yobuhlanga, kwaye ekuphela kwendlela ebambekayo kweli nqanaba kukupolisa inkqubo ngendlela enokuthintela imfazwe yamakhaya ebanzi kwaye, ekugqibeleni, kukhokelele kuhlobo uzinzo.
Kuya kufuneka ubanike igumbi lokuphefumla, utshilo.
I-Iraq ayibonayo ineendawo ezintathu ezizimeleyo ngokobuhlanga, ngurhulumente ophambili onoxanduva lokukhusela imida yelizwe kunye nokusasaza ingeniso yeoyile. Wayeka uninzi lwamaShiite emazantsi, ethintela ulawulo lwendawo kodwa ebagcina ukuba bangatsaleleki kwimbambano ebanzi yeSunni-Shiite. Wayehamba esusa uninzi lwamaSunni kwiphondo lase-Anbar elihlwempuzeke nge-oli eNtshona, kodwa baya kuqinisekiswa ukusikwa kwemali engenayo yeoyile exabisa iibhiliyoni zeedola. Umnumzana Biden unethemba lokuba imali yeoyile kunye nokuzola okulinganayo kungawuphelisa umvukelo othembekileyo weBaathist wenkxaso ngelixa ngaxeshanye esenza ukuba iphondo lingabinakho ukubaphembelela kwiAl Qaeda.
Impikiswano oyenzayo neenkokheli zesizwe samaSunni yile, 'Awuyi kubuyela kwinqanaba apho uqhuba khona lo mboniso,' utshilo uMnu Biden. Kuya kufuneka zenziwe ukuba ziqonde ukuba ufumana iqhekeza elikhulu lepayi ngokunikezela ngepayi. Uya kugcina amaKurds phezulu emantla, apho sele bonwabele umlinganiso wokuzimela, kodwa bebefuna iziqinisekiso zokuba abazukuzithathela kubo ukucoca abahlali baseSunni kwisixeko esixubeneyo saseKirkuk, okanye babeke ibango elilodwa kwimithombo yeoyile enkulu kuloo mmandla, okanye ukuphuma eIraq ngokwenza iKurdistan ezimeleyo.
Umnumzana Biden uthe wenze impikiswano neenkokheli zase Kurdish malunga nohambo lwakhe olsixhenxe oluya eIraq ngolu hlobo lulandelayo: Uya kudliwa uphila ngabantu baseTurkey kunye nabaseIran, baya kukuhlasela, kuya kubakho imfazwe iphela. Intsingiselo ecacileyo kukuba i-United States, ingeyiyo okokuqala, ayinakukwazi ukuyikhusela. Andiboni ukuba singenza njani, utshilo.
Umnumzana Biden akavumelani neenkokheli zangaphandle ezinje nge-Tony Blair yase-Bhritane kunye no-Pervez Musharraf wase-Pakistan, abathi eyona nto iphambili ekulungiseni iingxaki zase-Iraq kukusombulula impikiswano phakathi kwama-Israyeli nama Palestina.
Bayaphazama, kuba ndicinga ukuba yindlela egqunyiweyo yokwenza oko abantu baseYurophu nabama-Arabhu bebesoloko befuna ukukwenza, okubuyisela uSirayeli kwikona, utshilo. Basamgxeka uSirayeli.
UMnu Biden uthi inkxaso yesicwangciso sakhe sase-Iraq siyakhula. USenator waseNew York onempembelelo u-Chuck Schumer ubhengeze ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo ukuba uyalixhasa icebo-nangona wayethe cwaka ngendlela engacacanga-njengo-Michael O'Hanlon, ingcali ephambili yomgaqo-nkqubo wase-Iraq kwiZiko i-Brookings. Kodwa inkxaso yabo, kaMnu Biden, iphantse yalandelwa emva. Ukuba inye into ecacileyo ngaye, kukuba akanangxaki nokuba yedwa.
Banokuba banyanisile kwezopolitiko, kwaye nam ndinokuba ndiphosakele kwezopolitiko, utshilo. Kodwa ndiyakholelwa ukuba ndinyanisile, kwaye iindlela zabo ezihambelanayo azinzulu kakhulu kwaye ngekhe zisifikise apho ndifuna ukuya khona.
