esfuerzo<\/a> en diciembre pasado para incluir lenguaje en la Ley de Autorizaci\u00f3n de Defensa Nacional que ped\u00eda un fin r\u00e1pido y responsable de la guerra en Afganist\u00e1n. El texto completo de la carta se encuentra a continuaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n El Honorable Barack Obama
presidente de los Estados Unidos
La casa Blanca
1600 Avenida Pensilvania, noroeste
Washington, DC 20500 <\/p>\n
Querido Se\u00f1or Presidente: <\/p>\n
Le escribimos para expresar nuestro apoyo a su decisi\u00f3n de poner fin de forma r\u00e1pida y ordenada a la participaci\u00f3n militar estadounidense en Afganist\u00e1n. <\/p>\n
En su reciente discurso sobre el Estado de la Uni\u00f3n, anunci\u00f3 que 34.000 de nuestros miembros del servicio regresar\u00e1n a casa el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o. Le aplaudimos por esta decisi\u00f3n. Su anuncio es consistente con la Secci\u00f3n 1226 de la Ley de Autorizaci\u00f3n de Defensa Nacional, que respalda una transici\u00f3n del liderazgo de seguridad al Gobierno de Afganist\u00e1n para mediados del verano de 2013, al tiempo que se retiran las tropas estadounidenses de manera consistente con este objetivo. Tambi\u00e9n establece que Estados Unidos debe poner fin a todas las operaciones de combate regulares a m\u00e1s tardar el 31 de diciembre de 2014, y tomar todas las medidas posibles para poner fin a dichas operaciones lo antes posible, de conformidad con una retirada segura y ordenada de las tropas estadounidenses en Afganist\u00e1n. <\/p>\n
En los pr\u00f3ximos meses, usted y los altos l\u00edderes militares tomar\u00e1n decisiones cruciales adicionales sobre la fase final del conflicto. Estas decisiones incluyen el ritmo de la reducci\u00f3n durante 2014, as\u00ed como el n\u00famero de tropas que quedar\u00e1n despu\u00e9s del 31 de diciembre de 2014. <\/p>\n
Lo alentamos a considerar un plan que redespliegue la mayor\u00eda de las tropas estadounidenses lo m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido posible y al mismo tiempo proteja completamente la seguridad de las tropas restantes durante esta transici\u00f3n. Despu\u00e9s de 2014, le instamos a que mantenga s\u00f3lo la cantidad de tropas necesaria para llevar a cabo una misi\u00f3n antiterrorista limitada y ayudar a entrenar a las Fuerzas de Seguridad de la Naci\u00f3n Afgana. <\/p>\n
Se\u00f1or Presidente, nuestros valientes hombres y mujeres han luchado valientemente en Afganist\u00e1n durante m\u00e1s de una d\u00e9cada. Pero despu\u00e9s de doce a\u00f1os de conflicto, es hora de traer a nuestras tropas a casa. <\/p>\n
En su discurso inaugural usted afirm\u00f3: \u201cNosotros, el pueblo, todav\u00eda creemos que una seguridad y una paz duraderas no requieren una guerra perpetua\u201d. Los pr\u00f3ximos meses presentan una oportunidad genuina para cumplir este objetivo de manera consistente con los intereses fundamentales de seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos. <\/p>\n
Le instamos a que preste atenci\u00f3n a los deseos de la mayor\u00eda de los estadounidenses trayendo a nuestros hijos e hijas a casa de manera segura y r\u00e1pida y, al hacerlo, poniendo fin a la guerra m\u00e1s larga de Estados Unidos. <\/p>\n
Atentamente,<\/p>\n
