GW Bush parle, une fois de plus, d’une attaque contre l’Iran, dans un nouveau discours de politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re, ou de politique agressive si l’on pr\u00e9f\u00e8re, devant l’American Legion, \u00e0 Reno, dans le Nevada. Le probl\u00e8me est de savoir \u00e0 quelle situation ont trait ces menaces d’attaque. Deux r\u00e9actions de deux m\u00e9dias tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent montrent bien les diff\u00e9rences, l’ambigu\u00eft\u00e9 et l’entretien de cette ambigu\u00eft\u00e9 qu’impliquent les diff\u00e9rences d’interpr\u00e9tation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t Le Times<\/em> de Londres (article ce jour<\/a>) suit la ligne r\u00e9solument alarmiste qui rencontre les conceptions n\u00e9o-conservatrices, en tentant de rameuter le plus de monde autour de l’id\u00e9e de l’in\u00e9vitabilit\u00e9 d’une attaque de l’Iran \u00e0 cause de son effort nucl\u00e9aire. Ce quotidien prestigieux ne cesse d’appara\u00eetre de plus en plus clairement, sur des points essentiels, comme un vulgaire organe de propagande, r\u00e9sultat de son int\u00e9gration dans le groupe Murdoch. Dans ce cas, l’activit\u00e9 propagandiste implique une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence directe au discours<\/a> de Sarkozy, sur lequel le Times<\/em> avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 son interpr\u00e9tation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abPresident Bush gave warning last night that Iran’s pursuit of the atomic bomb could lead to a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East, and promised to confront Tehran before it is too late.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMr Bush’s remarks, the starkest warning that he has made about Iran’s nuclear ambitions, came hours after President Ahmadinejad of Iran said that a power vacuum was imminent in Iraq and that Tehran was ready to fill it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMr Bush also talked for the first time of two strains of Islamic radicalism causing chaos in Iraq and the region: not only Sunni jihadists, about whom he has spoken often, but also Shia extremism, supported and embodied by Iran’s Government.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe comments displayed a new aggression towards Tehran, a day after President Sarkozy of France raised the prospect of airstrikes on Iran if the crisis over its nuclear ambitions could not be solved through diplomacy.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t Le contraste est complet avec l’analyse de Bill Van Auken que publie ce jour<\/a> le site WSWS.org<\/em>. On y constate que le discours est enti\u00e8rement centr\u00e9 sur la situation en Irak et ses divers prolongements et constitue au moins une pr\u00e9paration psychologique \u00e0 l’arriv\u00e9e du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Petraeus \u00e0 Washington et \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sentation au Congr\u00e8s de son rapport sur la situation en Irak, le 11 septembre prochain (notez l’habilet\u00e9 du choix de la date). Les mensonges habituels, les fantaisies ahurissantes (comme les liens d’Al Qa\u00efda avec Saddam) continuent \u00e0 \u00eatre d\u00e9bit\u00e9s. Ce n’est que dans ce contexte que Bush en vient \u00e0 parler de l’Iran, pour accuser ce pays d’interventions diverses et vari\u00e9es. Il mentionne l’aspect nucl\u00e9aire pour charger le dossier de la dimension apocalyptique qui convient mais n’en fait pas sa th\u00e8se centrale. Il s’int\u00e9resse surtout aux soi-disant incursions iraniennes en Irak, qui constituent le casus belli<\/em> en vogue<\/a> aujourd’hui \u00e0 Washington.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abShia extremism, Bush charged, is supported and embodied by the regime that sits in Tehran. He described the Iranian government as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, while claiming that it threatened the region with a nuclear holocaust.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbBush repeated the unsubstantiated charges that American forces are coming under increasing attack from Iranian-supplied weapons and that Iranian Revolutionary Guard elements are training and arming Iraqi extremist groups.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbBush followed his allegations against Iran with an unmistakable threat. Iran, he said, … cannot escape responsibility for aiding attacks against coalition forces and the murder of innocent Iraqis. The Iranian regime must halt these actions. And until it does, I will take actions necessary to protect our troops. I have authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran’s murderous activities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe implication is clear. The debacle confronting the American occupation of Iraq is driving the government in Washington not towards a withdrawal of US forces, but rather towards an even bloodier military adventure.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe charges of alleged Iranian terrorism and weapons constitute a direct echo of the pretexts used four-and-a-half years ago to prepare the war of aggression against Iraq. There is every reason to believe that the world is on the brink of another eruption of US militarism.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCette diff\u00e9rence d’approche sur l’Iran est essentielle et ne cessera de se marquer. Quoiqu’il en paraisse, la pr\u00e9occupation centrale de Washington reste l’Irak, et l’agressivit\u00e9 contre l’Iran ne cesse pas d’\u00e9voluer vers ce rapport fait avec la situation irakienne. Il s’agit de plus en plus d’un cas tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent de la crise iranienne telle qu’elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 envisag\u00e9e jusqu’ici. (Le point essentiel est qu’une attaque US contre l’Iran selon le principe du droit de suite \u00e0 partir de l’Irak, quelle que soit l’opinion qu’on ait de cet argument, ne d\u00e9pend pas \u00e9ventuellement d’une autorisation de l’ONU. Cela devient une affaire r\u00e9gionale et bilat\u00e9rale ou trilat\u00e9rale entre les acteurs concern\u00e9s, Irak, Iran et USA. D’autres points importants concernent les cibles : des bases de l’IRGC ou\/et des installations nucl\u00e9aires? S’agira-t-il d’attaques ponctuelles et localis\u00e9es ou de quelque choses de plus important? Etc.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tIl s’agit d’une orientation qui mettra notablement en difficult\u00e9s les pays qui, avec les USA, n\u00e9gocient avec l’Iran sur la question nucl\u00e9aire, et particuli\u00e8rement la France apr\u00e8s le discours de Sarkozy et l’interpr\u00e9tation qu’en a faite Washington.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 29 ao\u00fbt 2007<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GW Bush parle, une fois de plus, d’une attaque contre l’Iran, dans un nouveau discours de politique \u00e9trang\u00e8re, ou de politique agressive si l’on pr\u00e9f\u00e8re, devant l’American Legion, \u00e0 Reno, dans le Nevada.
