6 mai<\/a>, sur cette affaire absolument et totalement surr\u00e9aliste.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tOn argumente effectivement sur l’int\u00e9r\u00eat d\u00e9sormais \u00e9vident d’avoir un coordinateur pour toutes ces guerres, principalement l’Irak et l’Afghanistan, qui durent depuis 3, 4, 5 ans et plus. On se demande pourquoi maintenant un tel personnage, \u00e0 une telle fonction, est-il n\u00e9cessaire ? Apr\u00e8s tout, les guerres vont bien assez mal sans lui et il suffirait de laisser aller. Mais non, il semble bien qu’une impulsion suppl\u00e9mentaire soit n\u00e9cessaire pour que les choses aillent encore plus mal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tLa palme de l’explication revient sans doute au conseiller de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale et directeur du NSC, Stephen Hadley, qui observe (cette fois, nous traduisons, pour la bonne cause et pour quelques lecteurs) : \u00abNous en sommes arriv\u00e9s au point o\u00f9 nous avons maintenant un plan. L’essentiel, d\u00e9sormais, c’est l’ex\u00e9cution de ce plan.<\/em>\u00bb Nous renouvelons notre question \u00e0 propos du plan, magnifiquement mis au point apr\u00e8s 3, 4, 5 ann\u00e9es et plus de guerre-sans-plan, plan plan plan : pourquoi un plan est-il n\u00e9cessaire aujourd’hui, alors que les guerres marchent suffisamment mal sans plan et qu’il semble bien que cela pourrait encore aller de mal en pis? Mais non, il semble qu’il faille un plan pour faire empirer les choses. On n’est pas un empire pour rien.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tDe l’article cit\u00e9, quelques d\u00e9tails sur les d\u00e9lices bureaucratiques<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abThe problem is not broad strategy and policy, it’s that the bureaucracy is so inefficient and there’s been so little follow-up that the machine doesn’t work, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said. He believes red tape in Washington is the biggest obstacle to winning in Iraq.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbGingrich has joined others in suggesting that a single person report directly to Bush and perhaps the next president and ask: What are the choke points? What regulations do we need to fix?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe new job comes as Bush’s combat troop buildup is trying to bring a degree of calm in Iraq so political reconciliation and rebuilding can take root.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb We’re at a point now where we’ve got a plan, Hadley said. Execution of that plan is now everything. Hadley said he wants to make sure that if any request from the war zone bogs down among agencies, there is someone who can speak for the president to get it solved quickley. That’s the kind of thing that I do, but I can’t do it full time, said Hadley, who must monitor hot spots around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHadley interviewed several candidates in the past few days. He has contacted at least six retired military leaders either to learn what they think about the job or to try to persuade them to take it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThis is really more of a head cracker than a czar \u00ac a bureaucracy cracker, said Michael O’Hanlon, a foreign policy analyst for the Brookings Institution who likes the idea.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThey want one point person to contact everyone else to tell them that we need these 17 things by Tuesday to comply with the president’s top foreign policy priority, said O’Hanlon, a former adviser to the Iraq Study Group. The panel concluded that duplication and conflicting strategies at federal agencies were undermining confidence in U.S. policy. So far, there have been no takers for the job.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb It’s the nuttiest idea ever, said James Carafano, a defense expert at Heritage Foundation. He said a war coordinator at the White House would be outside the regular chain of command. It confuses lines of authority. It’s like adding a fifth wheel on a car. Trying to integrate government operations inside the White House is a prescription for disaster, he added.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abYou’re too far from the battlefield. You’re in the wrong time zone. You can’t make timely decisions. You don’t have the staff, he said. The administration will be over before they even have the communications and everything in place to do this.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
