OregonLive.com<\/a>) nous donne les indications \u00e0 ce sujet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t• Le 7 d\u00e9cembre 2006, Smith avait condamn\u00e9 la guerre en Irak avec une extr\u00eame violence. \u00abSmith made national headlines as he called the U.S. war effort absurd and perhaps even criminal. He urged changes in U.S. policy that could include rapid pullouts of U.S. troops from Iraq and said he never would have voted for the conflict if he had known the intelligence that Bush gave the American people was inaccurate.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t• Hier, d’une fa\u00e7on tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rente et tr\u00e8s contrast\u00e9e, il a estim\u00e9 qu’il fallait donner au pr\u00e9sident le b\u00e9n\u00e9fice du doute ou, disons, le b\u00e9n\u00e9fice de l’ignorance (de la part de ceux qui ne savent pas encore tr\u00e8s bien) \u00abSmith said he did not have enough information to support or oppose the surge, but added that he thinks Bush needs to explain why he believes that despite the 4-year-old war’s unpopularity, he wants to gives this one more try by sharply increasing the number of U.S. troops, particularly in and around Baghdad. From there, Bush should lay out the case why this action will be more successful than past surges, Smith said, adding: And that’s an open question. I await more details along with the American people.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t• Smith semble penser que la t\u00e2che principale de Bush, plus encore que de gagner en Irak, est de convaincre les Am\u00e9ricains qu’il va gagner en Irak. \u00abMy own sense is that what’s driving the president is his belief that this is winnable, and that ultimately the American people want victory and a way to success, Smith <\/em>[said]. Bush hopes to lay out a path to success in his speech Wednesday night that will re-win the support of the American people. There’s a lot of ifs in that, Smith said.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t• N\u00e9anmoins, dit Smith, l’Irak est plus que jamais le centre de la guerre contre la terreur, et il importe que le Congr\u00e8s apporte son soutien au pr\u00e9sident. \u00abIt would be a dishonorable thing for the Congress to budget away the bullets at a time when their commander-in-chief had ordered them to hold their place in the battlefront, Smith said.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t• … N\u00e9anmoins, Smith a affirm\u00e9 qu’il ne retirait pas un mot de ce qu’il avait dit le 7 d\u00e9cembre (l’effort de guerre US en Irak absurde, guerre criminelle).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t• … N\u00e9anmoins, Smith pense \u00e9galement que tout cela conduit \u00e0 la crise : \u00abPresident Bush’s decision to send up to 20,000 additional U.S. troops to Iraq will create a classic war powers confrontation between the White House and Congress<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
