Sunday Times<\/a> :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abLieutenant-General David Richards will fly to Islamabad tomorrow to try to persuade Pervez Musharraf to rein in his military intelligence service, which Richards believes is training Taliban fighters to attack British troops. He will request that key Taliban leaders living in Pakistan be arrested.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe evidence compiled by American, Nato and Afghan intelligence includes satellite pictures and videos of training camps for Taliban soldiers and suicide bombers inside Pakistan.<\/em> ()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMusharraf had publicly acknowledged a Taliban problem on the Pakistan side of the border, said Richards. Undoubtedly something has got to happen, he added.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWe’ve got to accept that the Pakistan government is not omnipotent and it isn’t easy but it has to be done and we’re working very hard on it. I’m very confident that the Pakistan government’s intent is clear and they will be delivering on it.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tPassons sur le fond du probl\u00e8me et attachons-nous \u00e0 la forme. Musharraf revient de Washington o\u00f9 il a rencontr\u00e9, sous l’\u00e9gide du pr\u00e9sident GW Bush, le pr\u00e9sident afghan Karza\u00ef. M\u00eame si elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 consid\u00e9rablement forc\u00e9e et n’a pas constitu\u00e9 un triomphe, la rencontre a constitu\u00e9 de facto<\/em>, une fois de plus, un soutien politique des USA au pr\u00e9sident Musharraf. D’autres pays agissent dans ce sens, notamment le Royaume-Uni. D’une fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, le monde politique occidental soutient Musharraf, \u00e9ventuellement, pour certains, comme le moindre des maux, dans tous les cas, pour la plupart, parce qu’il n’y a pas d’alternative. (Le Times<\/em> le dit pudiquement : \u00abPolitical leaders have been reluctant to put pressure on Musharraf for fear of destabilising a nuclear-armed country in which Islamic fundamentalists are strong.<\/em>\u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tC’est dans ce cadre qu’il faut appr\u00e9cier l’initiative de Richards, qu’on pourrait consid\u00e9rer comme une sorte d’ultimatum \u00e0 Musharraf, et qu’on doit consid\u00e9rer comme sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent \u00e0 ce niveau de sensibilit\u00e9 politique. Les militaires prennent une position beaucoup plus dure vis-\u00e0-vis de Musharraf ; m\u00eame si leur d\u00e9marche doit \u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme relevant de consid\u00e9rations op\u00e9rationnelles, il reste qu’elle est \u00e9videmment de type politique. (Cette situation existe \u00e9galement \u00e0 des niveaux plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s, mais non officialis\u00e9e. Alors que le pouvoir politique US approuve l’accord de Musharraf avec des dirigeants tribaux, le pr\u00e9sident du Joint Chief of Staff, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Pace, l’a qualifi\u00e9 dans une rencontre informelle, fin septembre, de unhealthy<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tIl s’agit d’un signe de plus de la faiblesse actuelle des pouvoirs politiques occidentaux, surtout anglo-saxons, et de la parcellisation des centres de pouvoir, avec l’acquisition d’une plus grande autonomie selon leurs int\u00e9r\u00eats.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
