On notera combien l’\u00e9ditorial du New York Times<\/em> du 13 d\u00e9cembre, repris ce m\u00eame jour par l’International Herald Tribune<\/a>, donne une sensation tr\u00e8s forte, \u00e0 la fois que les USA (Washington) sont en crise, et que cette crise est tr\u00e8s pressante. Accessoirement, on a la d\u00e9ploration d’un gouvernement qui temporise, en fait qui manuvre pour \u00e9carter les recommandations de la commission Baker (ISG). Mais cette critique, m\u00eame si elle semble s’adresser \u00e0 l’administration et \u00e0 GW, concerne toutes les magouilles et les manoeuvres qui caract\u00e9risent comme jamais Washington, o\u00f9 l’on magouille et manuvre, aujourd’hui, comme l’on danse sur un volcan. (Voyez par exemple ce commentaire du Times<\/em> de Londres, aujourd’hui<\/a>, sur l’impuissance et le d\u00e9sordre chez les d\u00e9mocrates grands vainqueurs du 7 novembre.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tVoici quelques extraits, quelques paragraphes de l’\u00e9dito, avec l’un et l’autre mots et expressions soulign\u00e9s par nous, exprimant ce sentiment d’urgence et de frayeur devant l’impuissance washingtonienne et son \u00e9tat de crise. Si l’apparence et les \u00e9v\u00e9nements impliquent qu’il s’agit de la crise irakienne, la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 est qu’il s’agit de la crise \u00e0 Washington sans aucun doute<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe claims of calm deliberation emerging from the White House this week are<\/em> maddening.<\/em><\/strong> The search for a new plan for Iraq seems to be taking place with as much urgency as the deliberations over a new color for the dollar bill.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbWe are<\/em> more than eager<\/em><\/strong> for this White House to finally get something right on Iraq. But we find it<\/em> chilling<\/em><\/strong> to imagine that Bush and his advisers have only now begun a full policy review, months after Iraq plunged into civil war and years after experts began warning that the administration’s strategy was not working.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe Baker study, of course, is not the received wisdom of the ages. It should have been released far earlier, rather than being delayed to get past the midterm elections. But it was a good-faith effort by people wise enough and experienced enough to know<\/em> how bad<\/em><\/strong> the situation really is in Iraq, and<\/em> how little time<\/em><\/strong> left there is for the president to act.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbBush has no more time to waste on \u00a0\u00bblistening tours\u00a0\u00bb and photo ops. The United States<\/em> is in a crisis,<\/em><\/strong> and Americans need to hear how he plans to unwind the chaos he has unleashed in Iraq. If the president is delaying because he is searching for a good option, he can stop. There are none. But Americans need to see that he is prepared to choose among the undesirable alternatives, and clear the way for a withdrawal of American troops that does not leave even more killing and mayhem behind.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tIl y a aujourd’hui le sens d’une crise profonde qui s’est install\u00e9 \u00e0 Washington. Cela n’emp\u00eache pas les magouilles et les manuvres car chacun rejette sur l’autre la responsabilit\u00e9 de la crise, et le r\u00e9sultat est un d\u00e9sordre antagoniste plut\u00f4t qu’une unit\u00e9 nationale (ou, disons, unit\u00e9 de solidarit\u00e9 du syst\u00e8me). Mais le sens de la chose est l\u00e0. Cette psychologie aggrave encore la situation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tEn Europe, dans certaines bureaucraties, ce sens de la crise am\u00e9ricaniste commence \u00e0 se r\u00e9pandre. Dans certains domaines, dans certains services, chez certains responsables, existe d\u00e9sormais l’hypoth\u00e8se d’une crise US majeure, d’une crise mettant en cause le syst\u00e8me lui-m\u00eame. D\u00e9sormais est examin\u00e9e la question de savoir ce que ferait l’Europe si le r\u00e9gime \u00e0 Washington se retrouvait dans un \u00e9tat de paralysie de crise qui lui retirait une part essentielle de son influence et de son leadership<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 14 d\u00e9cembre 2006 \u00e0 05H07<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On notera combien l’\u00e9ditorial du New York Times du 13 d\u00e9cembre, repris ce m\u00eame jour par l’International Herald Tribune, donne une sensation tr\u00e8s forte, \u00e0 la fois que les USA (Washington) sont en crise, et que cette crise est tr\u00e8s pressante.
