Autre rude combattant du virtualisme : le Britannique Tony Blair. De plus en plus en roues libres ces derniers temps. On sent qu’on pr\u00e9pare ses bagages. Alors, on se laisse aller \u00e0 dire des choses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSon interview<\/a> \u00e0 Al Jazeera<\/em>, avec la fameuse question sur le d\u00e9sastre irakien, a fait des vagues. Le voici donc \u00e0 la manuvre. Tony Blair explique qu’en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 il n’a pas dit ce qu’on a dit (et entendu) qu’il a dit, qu’en disant cela, c’\u00e9tait autre chose qu’il disait, que d’ailleurs il n’aurait pu dire ce qu’il a dit puisqu’il dit aujourd’hui que ce qu’on a cru qu’il disait hier, il ne le croit pas, donc il ne le dit pas OK?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSon porte-parole, lui, laisse entendre que Tony est un brave type, qui r\u00e9pond tr\u00e8s vite, ing\u00e9nument, \u00e0 toutes les interviews, que sa langue fourche parfois et que, dans le cas consid\u00e9r\u00e9, effectivement, sa fourche a langu\u00e9<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tVoici, pour l’anecdote et pour le plaisir, et parce que bient\u00f4t nous n’aurons plus droit \u00e0 ses exercices de virtuose extrait de The Independent<\/a>, l’habituel exercice d’assouplissement de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 du Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abGordon Brown was left defending Britain’s presence in Iraq yesterday as Tony Blair denied he thought that the invasion had been a disaster. Interviewed on al-Jazeera on Friday, Mr Blair was asked if he thought that the military intervention had been pretty much of a disaster. It has, he replied, before blaming the difficulties on al-Qa’ida-inspired insurgents.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBut the Prime Minister’s spokesman yesterday insisted that his apparent concession was a straightforward slip of the tongue. The fall-out from the gaffe overshadowed the Chancellor’s first visit to Iraq, where he pledged \u00a3100m of reconstruction aid over the next three years. Mr Brown had hoped that his visit would reassure soldiers and the serving public that a government led by him will have a clear strategy to bring troops home from a stable Iraq.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBut attention was firmly focused on Mr Blair’s remarks as the Prime Minister flew to Pakistan for an official visit. His spokesman told reporters travelling with him that Mr Blair did not, after all, agree that the invasion had been a disaster. He doesn’t think that a democratically-elected government in Iraq is a disaster; he doesn’t think that getting rid of Saddam was a disaster, but he does acknowledge there are difficulties, and he doesn’t try to downplay those.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe explanation left Opposition figures unimpressed. Sir Menzies Campbell, leader of the Liberal Democrats, said: It tells you all you want to know about this government that No 10 has to indulge in semantics to explain away the Prime Minister’s admission. ‘Disaster’ is precisely how the vast majority of MPs and the British people regard the situation in Iraq. It is time to recognise reality and adopt a strategy that leads to a phased withdrawal.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
