The loneliest man in Washington.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tIl s’agit d’une description tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressante, parce qu’elle fait une bonne place \u00e0 la psychologie, de l’actuelle situation de GW Bush au coeur d’une accumulation de crises diverses. Beaucoup d’avis, de citations, de conseils quant au comportement et au destin du pr\u00e9sident pendant les trois ann\u00e9es restantes de son mandat, nous aurions pu \u00e9crire, assez vulgairement mais justement : les trois ans qui restent \u00e0 tirer, tant il semble s’agir d’un calvaire, pour lui et pour les \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tJurkowitz, apr\u00e8s s’\u00eatre r\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00e0 tous ces avis et conseils, termine par un jugement de bon sens fond\u00e9 sur l’observation de la psychologie du Pr\u00e9sident: cet homme ne changera rien. Cela le conduit \u00e0 conclure tr\u00e8s justement par cette derni\u00e8re phrase: \u00ab For the rest of us, it will be a miserable three years.<\/em> \u00bb (Et pour nous, donc, en Europe.) <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tVoici les deux paragraphes qui, avant la phrase cit\u00e9e, concluent l’article :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00ab But introspection, confession, and course correction are simply not in George W. Bush’s repertoire. This is, after all, a man who was unable to come up with a single mistake he had made when asked during one of his rare press conferences. And most reports on Bush’s comeback strategy indicate that he will eschew any major changes or shake-ups. Expect instead a three yards and cloud of dust strategy of boring straight ahead with his threadbare agenda, in the hopes that a new Supreme Court nominee, a speech on bird flu, and more words of optimism about Iraq will somehow reverse his fortunes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb And even if the Libby case which raises the deeply disturbing issue of how this administration attempted to quash dissent and stifle debate on a crucial public-policy matter ends up ensnaring Cheney, Rove, and other administration officials, Bush seems preordained to stay in deep denial, a lonely, intransigent figure convinced of his infallibility in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
