On peut \u00eatre s\u00fbr que l’article publi\u00e9 par le New York Times<\/em> et repris par l’International Herald Tribune<\/em> ce jour<\/a> (\u00abCongress must help Bush pick up the pieces in Iraq<\/em>\u00bb), dans la rubrique Op\/Ed<\/em>, sans signature, mais repr\u00e9sentant \u00e9videmment l’opinion du journal (\u00ab Unlike Bush’s views on the American military presence in Iraq,<\/em> our views<\/em><\/strong> have evolved as the evident realities on the ground have changed<\/em>\u00bb, etc.), on peut \u00eatre s\u00fbr que cet article repr\u00e9sente un \u00e9v\u00e9nement dans l’histoire de ce qui est aujourd’hui la crise fondamentale du syst\u00e8me am\u00e9ricaniste. Il s’agit d’une incitation sans ambages \u00e0 une action d\u00e9cisive du Congr\u00e8s contre le pr\u00e9sident.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’article met en \u00e9vidence les erreurs de GW, son isolement, son ent\u00eatement dans l’erreur (\u00abIt was surreal how disconnected President George W. Bush was the other night, both from Iraq’s horrifying reality and America’s anguish over this unnecessary, mismanaged and now unwinnable war<\/em>\u00bb) ; il met en \u00e9vidence le r\u00f4le de plus en plus autonome et hostile du gouvernement irakien (\u00aba destructively sectarian Shiite government that he <\/em>[Bush] seems unwilling or unable to influence or restrain<\/em>\u00bb). L’article exige une action de Bush, d’abord pour forcer le gouvernement irakien \u00e0 agir dans un sens favorable \u00e0 une remise en ordre de la situation, ensuite pour tenter de r\u00e9duire certaines des forces chiites que ce gouvernement soutient. Bref, il s’agit d’une exigence pour que tout soit fait, y compris avec la plus extr\u00eame violence de la part des forces US, pour tenter de reprendre la situation en main, de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 r\u00e9tablir un semblant d’ordre en Irak avant de quitter ce pays.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSurtout, surtout, c’est un appel au Congr\u00e8s \u00e0 l’action si le pr\u00e9sident ne r\u00e9pond pas \u00e0 ces sollicitations pressantes : \u00abCongress should Congress must<\/em>\u00bb Lisez ces quelques paragraphes qui terminent l’article. Il s’agit de rien moins qu’un appel \u00e0 l’action du Congr\u00e8s, \u00e0 un v\u00e9ritable coup d’Etat du Congr\u00e8s dans les limites ambigu\u00ebs de ses pouvoirs institutionnels pour forcer le pr\u00e9sident \u00e0 revenir aux r\u00e9alit\u00e9s. De la part d’un journal qui repr\u00e9sente l’establishment<\/em> am\u00e9ricaniste, il s’agit d’un avertissement fondamental qui dit, maintenant, il faut agir pour \u00e9viter la catastrophe finale, et agir contre le Pr\u00e9sident pour le contraindre. Dans l’esprit de la chose, r\u00e9p\u00e9tons-le, c’est un appel \u00e0 ce qui s’apparente \u00e0 un coup d’Etat.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abIf Bush refuses to deliver this ultimatum to Maliki, Congress will have to do so in his stead. That’s not the usual division of labor between the executive and legislative branches, but it is one that Bush has made necessary by his refusal to face realities. The potential consequences of his failed leadership are so serious that neither the new Democratic majorities in Congress, nor the public at large, can afford the luxury of merely criticizing from the sidelines.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbSo far, Congress is off to an encouraging start, holding substantive oversight hearings and asking probing questions of administration officials for the first time in too many years. Similarly encouraging has been the bipartisan character of this reinvigorated oversight. Congress should continue asking hard questions. And it must insist on real answers before acting on any new requests for money to support Bush’s plans to send more troops to Baghdad. Congress has the authority to attach conditions to that money, imposing benchmarks and timetables on Bush, who then would be forced to impose them on the Iraqi government.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIt’s now up to Congress to force the president to live up to his constitutional responsibilities and rescue America from the consequences of one of its worst strategic blunders in modern times.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbHistory will surely blame Bush for leading America into Iraq, but it will blame Congress if it does not act to push him onto a more realistic path.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
