Wolfowitz s’en va, une \u00e9poque s’ach\u00e8ve<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t18 mars 2005 Au contraire de la nomination de Bolton \u00e0 l’ONU, qui constitue une affirmation offensive du renouvellement de la politique unilat\u00e9raliste US<\/a>, le d\u00e9part de Paul Wolfowitz du Pentagone \u00e0 la direction de la Banque Mondiale marque plut\u00f4t la fin d’une \u00e9poque.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tPer se<\/em>, la nomination de Wolfowitz est \u00e9trange. Comme on peut le voir dans tous les commentaires critiques, comme celui de Jim Lobe<\/a>, Wolfowitz n’a aucune qualification pour ce poste, certainement pas technique, et pas davantage du point de vue id\u00e9ologique (tiersmondiste, Wolfowitz ?). (Mais cette absence de qualification est peut-\u00eatre en soi une recommandation, pour l’\u00e9quipe Bush?) Par ailleurs, la performance du Pentagone en Irak, qui lui est largement due, justifie certains de le saluer comme un des administrateurs les plus incomp\u00e9tents d’une administration qui en compte un certain nombre : voir le texte de Michael Lind du 17 mars, sur Salon.com<\/em>, dans lequel Wolfowitz est qualifi\u00e9 de Mr. Magoo sp\u00e9cialiste du catastrophic success<\/a>: \u00ab The problem with Paul Wolfowitz isn’t that he’s an evil genius it’s that he has been consistently wrong about foreign policy for 30 years.<\/em> \u00bb (Lind remonte avec justesse \u00e0 la participation de Woklfowitz au Team B<\/em>, qui donna une contre-\u00e9valuation (contre la CIA) de la puissance sovi\u00e9tique en 1976-77<\/a>, qui s’av\u00e9ra totalement infond\u00e9e.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tNon, l’important avec le d\u00e9part de Wolfowitz est ce qu’il signifie par rapport \u00e0 l’ensemble de la situation. En un sens, ce d\u00e9part confirme l’analyse de Chalmer Johnson, qui annonce une nouvelle \u00e9poque avec l’\u00e9mergence de la Chine et, surtout, la fin de la p\u00e9riode de la guerre contre la terreur, du terrorisme<\/a> et de la crise irakienne comme crise centrale par cons\u00e9quent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSans aucun doute, le signe le plus clair de ce changement d’\u00e9poque, pour ce qui concerne Wolfowitz, se trouve dans cette remarque rapport\u00e9e par Jim Lobe et retranscrite ci-dessous. Elle montre que Wolfowitz n’a plus rien \u00e0 faire au Pentagone, o\u00f9 la page irakienne est tourn\u00e9e, ou d\u00e9chir\u00e9e si l’on veut, et o\u00f9 l’on revient au sujet principal qui est la r\u00e9forme fondamentale de la bureaucratie et de ses us et coutumes, derri\u00e8re laquelle tous les secr\u00e9taires \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense courent depuis la cr\u00e9ation du d\u00e9partement en 1947. Autrement dit, pour ce qui concerne le Pentagone nous en revenons au sensationnel discours<\/a> de Rumsfeld du 10 septembre 2001<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab One former official said he thought Wolfowitz, who had most wanted to be secretary of state or defence, had finally despaired of achieving those goals, not only because the posts are still occupied, but also because, given Wolfowitz’s over-optimistic predictions about the aftermath of the Iraq invasion and his part in exaggerating the threat allegedly posed by Saddam Hussein before the war, his confirmation by a majority of the Senate would be uncertain at best.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb His move to the Bank thus made good professional sense according to this source.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Despite the war in Iraq, the Pentagon is increasingly consumed by the (military) ‘transformation’ process, and is turning inward, he said. By going to the Bank, where he has a guaranteed five-year term, he can keep doing things he feels passionate about.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
