RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF H.J.RES.87 – DIRECTING THE REMOVAL OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES FROM HOSTILITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF YEMEN THAT HAVE NOT BEEN AUTHORIZED BY CONGRESS
Whereas, The 2001 AUMF authorized the President to deploy forces against the terrorist group Al Qaeda, but has been used by the Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations to administer indirect military support to Al Qaeda and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against their ethnic and religious enemies in the Republic of Yemen;
Whereas, This military aid has been misused for thousands of airstrikes and operations, manifested as war crimes and a bloody war of genocide, leaving hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children dead, starving, homeless, and without the basic necessities to sustain life;
Whereas, This death and suffering is fueled by a racketeering scheme, at the expense and impoverishment of the American Taxpayers, to fatten the pockets of the Military-Industrial Complex and their shareholders on Wall St.;
Whereas, The People of the Republic of Yemen are not enemies of the American People but those who have survived this brutal conflict, with their families and loved ones laying dead in the sands of the Arabian Peninsula, may very well seek retribution; and
Whereas, H.J.Res.87 seeks to halt the sharing of foreign intelligence, the deployment of Armed Forces, and providing of logistical support to the offensive coalition laying waste to the Republic of Yemen;
Resolved, That the Libertarian Party National Committee calls on all peace-loving people of the United States to lobby Congress to pass H.J.Res.87 post-haste; and
Resolved, That the Libertarian Party National Committee calls on President Joseph Biden and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to immediately recall all of the United States Armed Forces deployed to Yemen and for Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to immediately apply diplomatic pressure to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and their coalition to end the bloodshed in the Arabian Peninsula.
