The US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, was attempting to defuse a spat with the defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, yesterday over the number of mistakes made by the US so far in Iraq. Ms Rice said her relationship with Mr Rumsfeld couldn’t be better, even after he had told a radio interviewer that he did not know what she was talking about when she told a UK thinktank last week that the US had made thousands of tactical errors in Iraq.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bb Meanwhile Ms Rice was under pressure to explain her tactical errors remark. Mr Rumsfeld was withering in his response, suggesting she did not understand warfare. I don’t know what she was talking about, to be perfectly honest, he told a radio station in Fargo, North Dakota, earlier this week. The reality in war is this … The enemy watches what you do and then adjusts to that, so you have to constantly adjust and change your tactics … If someone says well, that’s a tactical mistake, then I guess it’s a lack of understanding … of what warfare is about. On Thursday, Ms Rice said he had not seen what she had said. I guess I shouldn’t use figures of speech, she added.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tOn serait tent\u00e9 de dire comme le grand Will, much ado for nothing<\/em>. Cela n’emp\u00eache pas quelques observations : le constat qu’\u00e0 Washington, dans nos temps m\u00e9diatico-virtualistes, rien n’\u00e9chappe \u00e0 la tendance au gonflement de la moindre nouvelle r\u00e9percutant une m\u00e9sentente ou une divergence au sein de cette administration. Le constat, \u00e9galement, que ce n’est qu’un juste retour des choses, cette administration ayant syst\u00e9matiquement jou\u00e9 des m\u00e9dias, des fausses informations ou des informations manipul\u00e9es, des d\u00e9formations et ainsi de suite.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
