Plaignez donc les pauvres g\u00e9n\u00e9raux US en Irak, et aussi les services de communication de la Maison-Blanche et tout le reste, America the Beautiful<\/em>, Wall Street et American Dream<\/em>, Hollywood et John Wayne. Bon, c’est s\u00fbr, la victoire est acquise en Irak; \u00e9tourdissante, achev\u00e9e, compl\u00e8te Al Qaida est volatilis\u00e9 (quoique, certains pond\u00e8rent la chose, incroyablement modestes et r\u00e9alistes: non non, Al Qaida est d\u00e9moli \u00e0 60%-70%, n’exag\u00e9rons rien, ah, les braves gens, ce souci de la pr\u00e9cision, cette humilit\u00e9 dans le d\u00e9compte).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tC’est ce que nous raconte, parce que nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 bien sages, le Daily Telegraph<\/em> du jour<\/a>, dans un contexte qui d\u00e9crit les angoisses et cas de conscience des g\u00e9n\u00e9raux. Donc, apr\u00e8s nous avoir d\u00e9crit comment Al Qaida a \u00e9t\u00e9 vaincu, voici d\u00e9crits les tourments de ces m\u00eames g\u00e9n\u00e9raux; on y voit m\u00eame Petraeus et Fallon la main dans la main<\/a>, partageant les m\u00eames pr\u00e9occupations vertueuses, pour \u00eatre bien s\u00fbr, cette fois absolument assur\u00e9 qu’il s’agit bien de la m\u00eame victoire dont on parle, vous et moi: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abMilitary top brass are wary of making such conclusive claims however, aware of the embarrassment caused by President George W Bush when he addressed troops in front of a Mission Accomplished’ banner in the summer of 2003.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThere have been other examples of over-optimism, notably after the killing in June 2006 of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qa’eda in Iraq, which preceded by some counts the bloodiest six months of the war.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbEven with recent improvements in security, 62 US military personnel were killed in September, a figure only slightly below average for the past couple of years.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbMilitary intelligence officials told the Washington Post that Lt Gen Stanley McChrystal, chief of Joint Special Operations Command in Iraq, was a leading advocate of a victory declaration, believing the terror network has been virtually obliterated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbLt Gen Raymond Odierno, the second highest-ranking officer in Iraq, recently said that the group’s capability had been degraded by 60-70 per cent.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbCommanders on the ground feel progress made in the past few months has not been promoted strongly enough on the home front, and that a triumphal announcement on al-Qa’eda would lift public morale.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbBut the top brass, including Gen David Petraeus, the commander in Iraq, and Adm William Fallon, chief of the US Central Command, are reported to be against a declaration, believing more time is needed to assess the true extent of the damage to the organization .<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tAinsi va la narrative<\/em> du Daily Telegraph<\/em>: il \u00e9tait une fois un m\u00e9chant dictateur en M\u00e9sopotamie. Il avait m\u00eame des moustaches comme Hitler, c’est vous dire. Il adorait les armes de destruction massive (ADM, pour faire short<\/em>); mais, en impie qu’il \u00e9tait, il d\u00e9testait Al Qaida, ces grenouilles de b\u00e9nitier de mosqu\u00e9e. N’\u00e9coutant que sa g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 et malgr\u00e9 qu’il en e\u00fbt contre Al Qaida, l’oncle Sam de Washington attaqua Saddam pour purger le monde de ses ADM et nous permettre de dormir tranquille. Surprise: pas d’ADM. (Mais est-ce bien s\u00fbr?) Surprise (trois ans plus tard): Al Qaida est l\u00e0, partout, prolif\u00e9rant. (\u00c7a, c’est s\u00fbr.) Surprise (un an plus tard): Al Qaida n’est plus l\u00e0, pulv\u00e9ris\u00e9. (\u00c7a c’est encore plus s\u00fbr que s\u00fbr, comme Ariel.) Entre temps, on avait fait appel au g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Custer-Petraeus et \u00e0 son 7\u00e8me de cavalerie, dont l’offensive devant le Congr\u00e8s fut irr\u00e9sistible. Et voil\u00e0, c’est la crise: car que faire, oui, que faire de cette victoire massive?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLa crise irakienne, la vraie de vraie, mais nous y sommes, mais c’est bien s\u00fbr Que faire, que faire de cette victoire de destruction massive?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 16 octobre 2007 \u00e0 13H36<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Plaignez donc les pauvres g\u00e9n\u00e9raux US en Irak, et aussi les services de communication de la Maison-Blanche et tout le reste, America the Beautiful, Wall Street et American Dream, Hollywood et John Wayne.
