On pourrait voir dans tout cela une confirmation de la version selon laquelle le groupe mod\u00e9r\u00e9 Baker-ISG qui s’oppose \u00e0 GW Bush a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 imposer Gates en novembre dernier et que Gates (qui a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la r\u00e9daction du rapport de l’ISG sur l’Irak) continue \u00e0 agir en tant que tel, comme repr\u00e9sentant de cette opposition au sein de l’administration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tL’article du Times<\/em> donne d’autres pr\u00e9cisions sur les comparses (Rice, Hadley), dont l’avis compte mais qui ne sont pas d’un poids d\u00e9cisif. Leurs positions sont le plus souvent d’opportunit\u00e9. Si les indications du Times<\/em> sont justes, cela signifie que la situation \u00e0 Washington est effectivement tr\u00e8s partag\u00e9e. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abBut there are deep fissures within the US Administration. Robert Gates, the Defence Secretary, who has previously called for direct talks with Tehran, is said to be totally opposed to military action.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAlthough he has dispatched a second US aircraft carrier to the Gulf, he is understood to believe that airstrikes would inflame Iranian public opinion and hamper American efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dans le m\u00eame article du Times annon\u00e7ant que Tony Blair se prononce contre l’attaque de l’Iran, on trouve des observations tr\u00e8s int\u00e9ressantes sur la situation \u00e0 Washington par rapport \u00e0 cette attaque.
