Washington, DC \u2013 Hoy, los senadores Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Mike Lee (R-UT), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Rand Paul (R-KY), Jon Tester (D-MT) y Mark Begich (D-AK) introdujo una enmienda a la Ley de Autorizaci\u00f3n de Defensa Nacional (NDAA) instando a la aprobaci\u00f3n del Congreso como condici\u00f3n para cualquier presencia de tropas estadounidenses en Afganist\u00e1n despu\u00e9s de 2014. Se informa que la Administraci\u00f3n est\u00e1 negociando un acuerdo que podr\u00eda mantener hasta 10.000 tropas estadounidenses en Afganist\u00e1n. Afganist\u00e1n por otros diez a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYa es hora de poner fin a la guerra m\u00e1s larga en la historia de Estados Unidos y traer a nuestros hijos e hijas a casa\u201d, dijo el senador Merkley. \u201cEl pueblo estadounidense merece opinar y el Congreso deber\u00eda votar antes de que decidamos comprometer recursos masivos y miles de tropas para otra d\u00e9cada en Afganist\u00e1n. Estos son recursos que podr\u00edan usarse aqu\u00ed en casa creando empleos, mejorando la educaci\u00f3n y reduciendo el d\u00e9ficit\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cA medida que nuestra participaci\u00f3n militar en Afganist\u00e1n est\u00e1 llegando a su fin, es vital que los representantes electos del pueblo estadounidense aprueben o desaprueben una mayor participaci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s del cronograma de 2014\u201d, dijo el senador Lee. "Esta enmienda protege los derechos democr\u00e1ticos del pueblo estadounidense a dar forma a nuestra pol\u00edtica exterior y militar". <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cCuando el Congreso autoriz\u00f3 la guerra en Afganist\u00e1n, no se pretend\u00eda que durara para siempre\u201d, dijo el senador Wyden. \u201cAhora se ha convertido en la guerra m\u00e1s larga en la historia de Estados Unidos. Si el presidente cree que hay razones imperiosas de seguridad nacional para exigir una presencia militar estadounidense en Afganist\u00e1n despu\u00e9s de 2014, deber\u00eda acudir al Congreso y exponer ese caso\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cDespu\u00e9s de pasar m\u00e1s de una d\u00e9cada en guerra en Afganist\u00e1n, es hora de hacer la transici\u00f3n de nuestras tropas a casa\u201d, dijo el senador Paul. "Esta enmienda bipartidista refuerza el hecho de que el presidente necesita consultar al pueblo estadounidense y a sus representantes en el Congreso antes de aumentar nuestra participaci\u00f3n de tropas en Afganist\u00e1n".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cDespu\u00e9s de m\u00e1s de una d\u00e9cada de guerra y miles de bajas estadounidenses, debemos centrarnos en apoyar a nuestros veteranos y construir algo de naci\u00f3n aqu\u00ed en casa\u201d, dijo el senador Tester. "Esta enmienda garantiza que el Congreso y el pueblo estadounidense tengan voz y voto en lo que respecta a nuestras prioridades nacionales".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cDespu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de guerra en los que miles de soldados perdieron la vida y se gastaron miles de millones de d\u00f3lares, los estadounidenses tienen derecho a esperar controles y equilibrios en caso de que el Presidente se desv\u00ede del plan actual de poner fin a las operaciones de combate en Afganist\u00e1n para finales de 2014. " dijo el senador Begich. "Esta enmienda garantiza que el presidente no pueda tomar decisiones unilaterales que comprometan a nuestro pa\u00eds a otra d\u00e9cada de conflicto en Afganist\u00e1n".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Despu\u00e9s de 12 a\u00f1os y casi $600 mil millones gastados, la Administraci\u00f3n ha declarado que la guerra en Afganist\u00e1n terminar\u00e1 el 31 de diciembre de 2014. Sin embargo, la Administraci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 negociando un acuerdo con el Gobierno de Afganist\u00e1n que establecer\u00eda directrices para que las tropas estadounidenses puedan permanecer\u00e1n en funciones de entrenamiento, apoyo y lucha contra el terrorismo hasta al menos 2024. <\/p>\n
En junio, la C\u00e1mara de Representantes aprob\u00f3 una enmienda similar a la NDAA afirmando que la opini\u00f3n del Congreso es que si el presidente determina que es necesario mantener tropas estadounidenses en Afganist\u00e1n despu\u00e9s de 2014, cualquier presencia y misi\u00f3n de ese tipo deber\u00eda ser autorizada por el Congreso. . La enmienda de la C\u00e1mara fue aprobada por un s\u00f3lido margen bipartidista de 305 a 121.<\/p>\n
