surge<\/em>) en Irak comme \u00e9cran de fum\u00e9e pour dissimuler l’attaque qui se pr\u00e9pare contre l’Iran, et pour d\u00e9tourner l’attention du Congr\u00e8s \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tPaul Craig Roberts fait d’abord le d\u00e9compte des signes de pr\u00e9paratifs d’une attaque \u00e9ventuelle, tout en observant au contraire que le renforcement en Irak n’a aucun sens militaire et peut donc \u00eatre interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 comme une manuvre de dissimulation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tMais l’essentiel de la th\u00e8se de Roberts repose sur le r\u00f4le et l’influence d’Isra\u00ebl. Pour lui, c’est Isra\u00ebl qui veut cette attaque et c’est Isra\u00ebl qui manipule l’administration GW Bush dans ce but, par ses r\u00e9seaux divers \u00e0 Washington, que ce soit le lobby sioniste ou les n\u00e9o-conservateurs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t Et maintenant, maintenant ou jamais, existe pour Isra\u00ebl l’opportunit\u00e9 d’attaquer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abWeapons inspectors have failed to find a nuclear weapons program in Iran. Most experts say it would be years before Iran could make a weapon even if the Iranian government is actively working on a weapons program. Since the danger, if any, is years away, why is Israel so determined to attack Iran now?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe answer might be that Israel has the chance now. The Bush administration is in its pocket. The White House is working with neoconservatives, not with the American foreign policy community represented by the Iraq Study Group. Neoconservative propagandists are in influential positions in the media. The US Congress is intimidated by AIPAC. The correlation of forces are heavily in Israel’s favor.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbPart of the Israeli\/neoconservative plan has already been achieved with the destruction of civilian infrastructure and spread of sectarian strife in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. If Iran can be taken out with a powerful air attack that might involve nuclear weapons, Syria would be isolated and Hezbollah would be cut off from Iranian supplies.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIsrael has two years remaining to use its American resources to achieve its aims in the Middle East. How influential will Israel and the neoconservatives be with the next president in the wake of a US defeat in Iraq and Israeli defeat in Lebanon? If the US withdraws its troops from Iraq, as the US military and foreign policy community recommend and as polls show the American public wants, the only effect of Bush’s Iraq invasion will have been to radicalize Muslims against Israel, the US, and US puppet governments in the Middle East. Extremist elements will tout their victory over the US, and the pressures on Israel to accept a realistic accommodation with Palestinians will be overpowering.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbNow is the chance the only chance for Israel and the neoconservatives to achieve their goal of bringing Muslims to heel, a goal that they have been writing about and working to achieve for a decade.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
