Le pr\u00e9sident du comit\u00e9 des chefs d’\u00e9tat-major US, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du Marine Corps Peter Pace, \u00e9tait surnomm\u00e9 Perfect Peter apr\u00e8s ses premiers mois (depuis juin 2006) pass\u00e9s \u00e0 ce poste. Le surnom signifiait que la Maison-Blanche et l’\u00e9quipe de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale autour de GW \u00e9taient satisfaites du comportement en apparence docile du nouveau pr\u00e9sident du JCS. Ces derni\u00e8res semaines semblent avoir notablement alt\u00e9r\u00e9 le surnom.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDivers<\/a> \u00e9chos<\/a> ont signal\u00e9 que Pace \u00e9tait de moins en moins docile, voire franchement contestataire. Un texte de Robert Parry<\/a>, de ConsortiumNews.com<\/em>, renforce consid\u00e9rablement cette perception. Parry, qui cite \u00e9galement l’article du Sunday Times<\/em> auquel nous nous sommes d\u00e9j\u00e0 r\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s<\/a>, affirme que Pace envisage de donner sa d\u00e9mission si une attaque contre l’Iran est lanc\u00e9e. Parry place Pace en t\u00eate de la r\u00e9volte \u00e0 peine cach\u00e9e des militaires, dont l’\u00e9vocation rejoint certaines hypoth\u00e8ses et recommandations d\u00e9j\u00e0 faites<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tCes diverses sources et indications rendent de plus en plus n\u00e9cessaire de consid\u00e9rer la r\u00e9volte des chefs militaires comme un fait fondamental de la crise en cours \u00e0 Washington. Il semble qu’il faille d\u00e9sormais consid\u00e9rer la crise iranienne, et la possibilit\u00e9 d’une attaque, d’un autre il.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tVoici le passage du texte de Parry \u00e0 propos de Pace :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abOne intelligence source told me that Joint Chiefs chairman, Gen. Peter Pace, has explored the possibility of resigning if Bush presses forward with air attacks against Iran, a war strategy that might be done in coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThough Pace has given no public signal on resigning, he has undercut Bush’s case for an expanded Middle East war by challenging the administration claims about Iran’s alleged sponsorship of attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and by telling Congress that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have eroded American military capability to confront another crisis.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIn a classified report to Congress, Pace warned that there is a significant risk that the U.S. military would be unable to respond quickly and fully to a new threat, the Associated Press reported, citing senior defense officials.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbPace’s grim assessment represents a mark-down from a year ago when Pace concluded that the risk was only moderate. The AP wrote that a report accompanying Pace’s review said that while the Pentagon is working to upgrade its readiness, it may take several years to reduce risk to acceptable levels. [AP, Feb. 27, 2007]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIn other words, the Pentagon brass is raising an alarm over how stretched the U.S. military has become because of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, suggesting that another front in Iran could add to American vulnerabilities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbSources familiar with concerns inside the Pentagon have told me that senior U.S. military commanders, including Pace, have publicized their differences with the White House as part of a shadow bureaucratic battle to head off Bush’s Iran war plans.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
