Cela conduit assez naturellement et assez justement Jim Lobe \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper l&rsquo;hypoth\u00e8se, sur son site le <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ips.org\/blog\/jimlobe\/?p=45\" class=\"gen\">11 juillet<\/a>, que Giuliani pourrait finalement s&rsquo;av\u00e9rer \u00eatre le v\u00e9ritable candidat du Likoud (et plut\u00f4t de l&rsquo;extr\u00eame-droite du parti de la droite isra\u00e9lienne) \u00e0 la d\u00e9signation r\u00e9publicaine. Par cons\u00e9quent, il est possible que le candidat r\u00e9publicain \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9lection de 2008 ne soit rien d&rsquo;autre que le candidat du Likoud; raccourci qui a le m\u00e9rite de clarifier les choses. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tC&rsquo;est un peu l&rsquo;utilisation \u00e0 nouveau d&rsquo;un ersatz de la tactique GW Bush en 2000, avec un Bush qui faisait plut\u00f4t figure de r\u00e9publicain mod\u00e9r\u00e9, avec son argumentation sur le <em>compasionnate conservative<\/em>. Evidemment, depuis 2000, la tactique est us\u00e9e et l&rsquo;on commence \u00e0 savoir qui est qui \u00e0 Washington.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tLobe note n\u00e9anmoins que d&rsquo;autres candidats peuvent \u00e9galement faire concurrence \u00e0 Giuliani sur sa droite : Fred Thomson, \u00e9ventuellement le bouffon Newt Gingrich. Face \u00e0 une probable candidature d&rsquo;Hillary Clinton qui tient au feu des positions ultra-dures sur la politique ext\u00e9rieure, on constate que l&rsquo;<em>establishment<\/em> US reste solidement ancr\u00e9 \u00e0 l&rsquo;extr\u00eame-droite pour les pr\u00e9sidentielles de 2008.

Hill&rsquo;s paper trail is confined almost exclusively to the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal where, among other things, he hailed the creation in 2004 of the Committee on the Present Danger (CPD), proposed the replacement of the UN by a new organisation of nations committed to democracy, criticized the 9\/11 Commission for failing to sufficiently emphasize the nature of the enemy  Islamist terrorism; Saddamist-style hijacked states; and regimes fearful of subversion, such as Saudi Arabia, whose policies have inflamed the situation and increased the danger to itself, and decried the Commission&rsquo;s suggestion that U.S. policies in the region might have something to do with anti-American sentiment there.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb<em>A big fan of Bernard Lewis&rsquo; theories about what ails the Arab Middle East, Hill was a signer of the Sep 20, 2001, letter from Bill Kristol&rsquo;s Project for the New American Century (PNAC) that urged Bush to be sure to include Saddam Hussein, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and the Yassir Arafat, as well as al Qaeda and the Taliban, in his war on terror.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb<em>Of the seven other members of Giuliani&rsquo;s Senior Foreign Policy Advisory Board, several have also been associated with PNAC and the CPD, most spectacularly, the legendary former editor of Commentary magazine, Norman World War IV Podhoretz, whose most recent contribution to Western-Islamic understanding was his article, The Case for Bombing Iran (an eight-minute must-see video version of which is available on YouTube). A founding father of neo-conservatism, Podhoretz is also, of course, the father-in-law of Deputy National Security Advisor Elliott Abrams whose own work in frustrating serious peace efforts between Israel and its Arab neighbors has been second only to Dick Cheney&rsquo;s. Apparently relying on inside information, Podhoretz still believes that Saddam Hussein secreted his weapons of mass destruction to Syria for safe-keeping.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><p>\tMis en ligne le 12 juillet 2007 \u00e0 12H54<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parmi les candidats \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence r\u00e9publicaine, Rudy Giuliani est certainement l&rsquo;un des mieux plac\u00e9s.
