La nervosit\u00e9 des G.I., indication du s\u00e9rieux de la situation<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t19 ao\u00fbt 2003 Avant l’explosion du quartier-g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’ONU \u00e0 Bagdad<\/a>, dans l’apr\u00e8s-midi du 19 ao\u00fbt, l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement important de la situation en Irak \u00e9tait la mort du cameraman de Reuters Mazen Dana dans des conditions extr\u00eamement d\u00e9licates, que rapporte le Guardian<\/a>, parlant des \u00ab US troops crazy’ in killing of cameraman<\/em> \u00bb. Les d\u00e9tails, notamment les t\u00e9moignages, que rapporte le journal sont extr\u00eamement significatifs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab Journalists who were with a Reuters news cameraman shot dead by US troops while filming outside a Baghdad prison yesterday accused the soldiers of behaving in a crazy and negligent fashion. They claimed the Americans had spotted the Reuters crew outside the jail half an hour before Mazen Dana was killed and must have realised he was not a guerrilla carrying a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Nael al-Shyoukhi, a Reuters soundman, said the soldiers saw us and they knew about our identities and our mission. After we filmed we went into the car and prepared to go when a convoy led by a tank arrived and Mazen stepped out of the car to film. I followed him and Mazen walked three to four metres. We were noted and seen clearly.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb A soldier on the tank shot at us. I lay on the ground. I heard Mazen and I saw him scream and touching his chest. I cried at the soldier, telling him you killed a journalist’. They shouted at me and asked me to step back and I said I will step back but please help, please help’.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Stephan Breitner, of France 2 television, added: We were all there for at least half an hour. They knew we were journalists. After they shot Mazen, they aimed their guns at us. I don’t think it was an accident. They are very tense. They are crazy.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tCet incident est effectivement tr\u00e8s significatif de l’\u00e9tat d’esprit des forces am\u00e9ricaines, et aussi de leur qualit\u00e9 intrins\u00e8que dans leur r\u00f4le de lutte anti-gu\u00e9rilla et de r\u00e9tablissement de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 (cette activit\u00e9 pr\u00e9tentieusement baptis\u00e9e dans le vocabulaire postmoderne et politically correct<\/em> de nation-building<\/em>). Les troupes am\u00e9ricaines, entra\u00een\u00e9es pour \u00e9voluer dans une machinerie tr\u00e8s coordonn\u00e9e, tr\u00e8s contr\u00f4l\u00e9e et conform\u00e9ment au manuel (m\u00eame si ce manuel pr\u00e9tend \u00eatre r\u00e9volutionnaire), sont totalement inadapt\u00e9es \u00e0 la situation. En fait, on pourrait avancer que les forces US sont aujourd’hui, par leur haute technicit\u00e9 et leurs automatismes interdisant toute capacit\u00e9 d’initiative, les moins qualifi\u00e9es du monde pour une situation comme l’irakienne.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe comportement des troupes US devrait largement contribuer \u00e0 l’acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration du processus de d\u00e9gradation de la situation en Irak, dans des conditions extr\u00eamement d\u00e9stabilisantes pour l’establishment<\/em> militaire US. On ignore \u00e9videmment l’\u00e9volution de la situation en Irak, mais si l’aggravation se poursuit, le choc au niveau de cet establishment<\/em> finira par se produire, avec une mise en question des conceptions et des structures des forces arm\u00e9es US, comme apr\u00e8s le Viet-n\u00e2m. Cette perspective est d’autant plus probable que :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• Politiquement, les USA ne peuvent songer \u00e0 passer la main d’une fa\u00e7on qui rendrait possible le remplacement d’une partie substantielle de leurs forces, cette possibilit\u00e9 \u00e9tant li\u00e9e \u00e0 un transfert des responsabilit\u00e9s \u00e0 une autorit\u00e9 non-US. Politiquement, par rapport \u00e0 la situation aux USA, ce transfert est inenvisageable pour Bush.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t• Op\u00e9rationnellement, les conditions sur le terrain sont dures, et m\u00eame semblent beaucoup plus dures qu’on ne le dit. Nous avons entendu hier soir, \u00e0 19H30, la correspondante de la RTBF belge \u00e0 Bagdad affirmer qu’\u00ab on nous dit que les attaques contre les Am\u00e9ricains sont beaucoup plus nombreuses que ce qu’il est officiellement affirm\u00e9.<\/em> \u00bb La correspondante a rapport\u00e9 que ces attaques \u00e9taient beaucoup plus nombreuses par rapport \u00e0 la version officielle, \u00ab dans un rapport de un \u00e0 dix<\/em> \u00bb. (Ces indications rejoignent des estimations d\u00e9j\u00e0 publi\u00e9es<\/a> sur les pertes r\u00e9elles des Am\u00e9ricains. On sait que le Central Command indique qu’il y a eu 926 tu\u00e9s et bless\u00e9s US en Irak depuis le d\u00e9but de la guerre, tandis que le lieutenant-colonel DeLane, charg\u00e9 du transport des bless\u00e9s d’Irak vers l’h\u00f4pital d’Andrews Air force base, aux USA, a indiqu\u00e9 \u00e0 la National Public Radio que plus de 4.000 bless\u00e9s ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9vacu\u00e9s.)<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
