While the resolution approved by the House Friday is not binding on the president, it marks an unprecedented repudiation of his policy, which was never seriously challenged during the period that Republicans held majorities in both houses.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tC’est une nouvelle p\u00e9riode qui s’ouvre, une bataille qui commence. M\u00eame si tous les acteurs entendent la contr\u00f4ler, il n’est pas assur\u00e9 que cette bataille reste contr\u00f4lable. La passion est consid\u00e9rable dans cette question de la guerre en Irak. Des \u00e9v\u00e9nements impr\u00e9vus peuvent survenir en Irak. D’autre part, il y a la question de l’Iran et des intentions pr\u00eat\u00e9es \u00e0 GW d’engager une attaque contre ce pays, contre la position d’un grand nombre de parlementaires qu’une telle initiative doit \u00eatre soumise \u00e0 l’approbation de ce m\u00eame Congr\u00e8s.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tCette dualit\u00e9 contradictoire entre un processus sous contr\u00f4le et un processus qui peut \u00e9chapper \u00e0 tout contr\u00f4le est bien rendue, quoique involontairement, par une remarque de l’analyste Jim Cason, selon lequel ce vote est \u00e0 la fois un premier pas et un tournant d\u00e9cisif (Cason met les deux d\u00e9finitions dans l’ordre inverse). Un premier pas suppose un processus prudent, contr\u00f4l\u00e9, etc., mais si c’est aussi un tournant d\u00e9cisif, c’est-\u00e0-dire un \u00e9v\u00e9nement qui, par d\u00e9finition, g\u00e9n\u00e8re sa dynamique propre, cr\u00e9e des conditions jusqu’alors inconnues, peut ainsi \u00e9chapper \u00e0 tout contr\u00f4le ?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abThe House vote Friday marked the initial move in that process. This has to be seen as both a watershed and as a first step, said Jim Cason, an analyst at the Friends Committee on National Legislation, an antiwar lobby group.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbNow, Congress has to exercise its constitutional responsibilities and articulate a new policy which it can do that by attaching conditions on funding. And that’s what they’re doing. New funding should be made contingent on a new policy.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tQue le Congr\u00e8s et le reste le veuillent ou non, nous sommes entr\u00e9s dans une p\u00e9riode aigu\u00eb d’incertitude explosive.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Le vote de la Chambre des Repr\u00e9sentants hier, par 246 voix contre 182, ressemble effectivement \u00e0 une ouverture officielle des hostilit\u00e9s entre le Congr\u00e8s et le Pr\u00e9sident.
