La symphonie des hawks<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t25 juillet 2002 Le site am\u00e9ricain Hill<\/em> annonce un important changement au sein de l’administration GW<\/a>. Le secr\u00e9taire \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense Rumsfeld abandonnerait son poste et passerait au nouveau Homeland Security Department (HSD), une fois que le Con,gr\u00e8s aura approuv\u00e9 la l\u00e9gislation cr\u00e9ant le nouveau d\u00e9partement ; l’actuel n\u00b02 du Pentagone, Paul Wolfowitz, prendrait sa succession \u00e0 la t\u00eate du DoD.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCe changement d\u00e9mentirait les sp\u00e9culations quasi-unanimes selon lesquelles ce serait l’ancien gouverneur Tom Ridge, actuel coordinateur des questions de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure aupr\u00e8s du pr\u00e9sident depuis le 11 septembre, qui serait destin\u00e9 \u00e0 devenir le secr\u00e9taire \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure, en charge du nouveau minist\u00e8re. The Hill<\/em> explique :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab But Bush leans toward asking Ridge to stay on as a top presidential adviser while Rumsfeld strives to whip together a cluster of disparate agencies into a cohesive whole. Ridge would focus on keeping the FBI and CIA, which will not be under Rumsfeld’s wing, in the tent. He’d be the counterpart on the domestic security front to Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tAcceptons l’hypoth\u00e8se qu’un tel changement pourrait se concr\u00e9tiser. Plusieurs remarques deviendraient alors d’actualit\u00e9, et m\u00eame, l’on peut tenir certaines d’entre elles, d’ores et d\u00e9j\u00e0, pour acceptables.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• De tels projets concr\u00e9tisent l’\u00e9norme importance accord\u00e9e au HSD, et l’esp\u00e8ce de parit\u00e9 avec le DoD o\u00f9 il se trouve plac\u00e9 (HSD pour l’int\u00e9rieur, DoD pour l’ext\u00e9rieur). Cela implique naturellement une concurrence \u00e9vidente, notamment au niveau bureaucratique. (Ces remarques ont d’autant plus de sens si Rumsfeld passe au HSD, vu son poids politique.) The Hill<\/em> mentionne \u00e9videmment cette importance potentielle du HSD si Rumsfeld y est transf\u00e9r\u00e9 : \u00ab Insiders say that while in theory he’d be the most junior Cabinet member, Bush would want him <\/em>[Rumsfeld] to retain both literally and figuratively his central seat in the Cabinet Room.<\/em> \u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• L’id\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente est renforc\u00e9e par la suggestion qu’une sorte de NSC (Interior) pourrait appara\u00eetre sous la direction de Ridge, \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 du NSC (Foreign) en place sous la direction de Rice. Cette structure, impliquant que Ridge\/NSC (I) aurait en partie le contr\u00f4le de la CIA et du FBI, accentuerait la bataille bureaucratique, cette fois avec le NSC (qui a un oeil et une autorit\u00e9 sur la CIA) et la Justice (qui contr\u00f4le le FBI).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• Le HSD se trouvera en concurrence directe avec le DoD d\u00e8s lors que le Northern Command (forces arm\u00e9es) est activ\u00e9 et couvre le territoire US. Qui contr\u00f4lera le Northern Command : HSD ou DoD ? La question se poserait encore plus si Rumsfeld, avec son \u00e9norme autorit\u00e9, passe au HSD.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• Un passage du DoD sous le contr\u00f4le de Wolfowitz ne changera pas beaucoup l’orientation politique du DoD, d\u00e9j\u00e0 ultra-hawk avec Rumsfeld. Par contre, elle risque de compromettre certains projets internes essentiels, comme la grande r\u00e9forme des forces arm\u00e9es, qui demande un go\u00fbt pour la bataille bureaucratique que Wolfowitz a peut-\u00eatre moins que Rumsfeld.<\/p>\n

Des commentaires (?) officiels sur cette rumeur …<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\tDans la transcription officielle de la conf\u00e9rence quotidienne du Pentagone, le 24 juillet \u00e0 13H00 (heure de Washington), re\u00e7ue le 25 juillet dans la matin\u00e9e, on trouve deux passages consacr\u00e9s \u00e0 cette rumeur. Ces deux passages sont surtout remarquables par la confusion des \u00e9changes, assez sympathique au demeurant. Il semble que les porte-parole soient d\u00e9cid\u00e9s \u00e0 laisser entendre qu’il ne s’agit que d’une rumeur, mais sans avoir la possibilit\u00e9, ni m\u00eame l’autorisation de la d\u00e9mentir de mani\u00e8re formelle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa conf\u00e9rence de presse est donn\u00e9e par Victoria Clarke, Assistant Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs), assist\u00e9e du brigadier g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’USAF, Gen. John W. Rosa, Jr., deputy director for current operations, Operations Directorate, the Joint Staff.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(Note de la r\u00e9daction : ces deux extraits ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rajout\u00e9s au texte publi\u00e9 le 25 juillet \u00e0 07H00, ce m\u00eame 25 juillet \u00e0 13H00.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Torie, is Defense Secretary Rumsfeld under consideration to head up the new Department of Homeland Security?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: Not that I know of.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: The reason I ask is that the Hill newspaper today was quoting White House insiders as saying that he was under consideration and that under the plan, Paul Wolfowitz would then assume the job of secretary of Defense.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: It’s not anything under consideration, as far as I know.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Have you spoken to him about this issue?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: I have not.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Has he spoken to you about this issue? (Laughter.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: It hasn’t been a topic of discussion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Has he expressed any interest in becoming director of Homeland Security?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: He expresses enormous interest every day he shows up here to work hard at the job he has, which he really, really likes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Have you been considered for (laughter) a post in Department of Homeland Security?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: Has General Rosa been considered for a job?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: There are other published reports, which have suggested …<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: That you might become the spokesperson …<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: … that you might become a spokesperson for this organization.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: You know, the only people from whom I have heard those rumors are reporters. And I have every intention of staying here as long as I can. I like it very much here. I’d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tlike to stay here.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tRosa: I, on the other hand (laughter) would love to go back to reality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Torie, when you say it’s not anything under consideration as far as you know, is it that you’ve looked into it and you’ve determined that it’s not under consideration that<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tRumsfeld would move, or is it that you haven’t investigated it at all and therefore don’t know? How much weight should we give what you’re saying?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: It’s just so far beyond any possibility that I don’t think it’s under any consideration at all. And I have not taken the time to look into it because I think it’s just people rumormongering, which they seem to do a lot at the end of the summer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tYes, sir? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tPlus loin, \u00e0 la fin de la conf\u00e9rence de presse<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t… And I don’t know if this will help, but this just in from the front office regarding … I don’t know which rumor they’re talking about, though.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: (Off mike.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: Okay, thank you.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(Off-mike remarks, laughter.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: (Laughs.) On the secretary, no truth to the rumor at all, exclamation point.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Did that come from him?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(Off-mike remarks, laughter.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: That comes from … that comes from Larry DiRita. This comes from Larry DiRita.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Oh, okay.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: Is that bigger than a snowflake?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: So it’s not a package deal? (Laughter.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: A snowflake? No, it would be … this would be a …<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: A blizzard?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: No!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: (Off mike.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: No. What’s smaller than a snowflake, because it’s not from him. I think smaller than a snowflake.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQ: And is General Rosa staying or is he going somewhere?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tRosa: I’m starting that rumor. I’m out of here. (Laughter.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tClarke: (Laughs.) Thanks, guys.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
