Flahaut avant Riga : les pieds dans le plat<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 Flahaut, le ministre de la d\u00e9fense de Belgique, a une allure c\u00e9l\u00e8bre. Lourdaud et un peu paysan, la moustache approximative et le sourire assez gras, — mais l\u00e0-dessus, un solide bon sens et la parole assez leste.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

• C’est Flahaut qui avait dit aux Am\u00e9ricains qui le pressaient d’entrer dans le programme JSF qu’il n’avait pas d’argent ni de besoin \u00ab\u00a0pour ce machin\u00a0\u00bb ; qui r\u00e9cidiva au printemps 2002, commentant l’entr\u00e9e des Hollandais dans le JSF par le constat que la Belgique, elle, choisirait un avion europ\u00e9en quand le temps serait venu de choisir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

• Flahaut encore qui, avec son comp\u00e8re d’alors (affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res) Louis Michel, avait, en 2002-2003, men\u00e9 une campagne critique de l’exp\u00e9dition US en Irak d’une vigueur sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Aujourd’hui, \u00e0 la veille du sommet de l’OTAN \u00e0 Riga, Flahaut se paye l’OTAN. Dans une interview au Vif-L’Express<\/em>, Flahaut constate que l’OTAN va tr\u00e8s mal, qu’elle n’a plus de projet d’avenir, qu’elle est dans une situation tr\u00e8s d\u00e9licate en Afghanistan et qu’il serait temps — ce serait la moindre des choses — de d\u00e9terminer une \u00ab\u00a0strat\u00e9gie de sortie\u00a0\u00bb d’Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9sentation de l’\u00e9pisode par The Independent<\/em>, ce jour<\/a> :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

«Nato’s fragile unity over Afghanistan has begun to crack ahead of an important summit — with one public call to discuss an exit strategy from the Allied forces’ bloody confrontation with the Taliban.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»While heads of government are to make a show of unity over Afghanistan at tomorrow’s alliance summit in Riga, Belgium’s Defence Minister has questioned the future of Nato’s most important mission.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»Andr\u00e9 Flahaut, the Belgian Defence Minister, brought anxieties about the Afghan mission into the open when he suggested that, at the Riga summit, \u00ab\u00a0we finally reflect on an exit strategy\u00a0\u00bb. Five years after the start of Western involvement in Afghanistan, Mr Flahaut calls into question its prospects of success.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»In an interview with Le Vif-L’Express magazine, Mr Flahaut argued: \u00ab\u00a0The situation is deteriorating and, over time, Nato forces risk appearing like an army of occupation.\u00a0\u00bb Discussions of an exit strategy are the last thing the Nato top brass wants to hear because it is hoping to use this week to reinforce a message of unity on Afghanistan.<\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
