Fallon choisit le Financial Times<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

L’amiral Fallon, chef de Central Command, est en passe de devenir une star<\/em> m\u00e9diatique. On se demandera bient\u00f4t s’il<\/a> n’est pas en passe de d\u00e9tr\u00f4ner son commandant en chef, GW, pour ce qui est de l’acc\u00e8s aux m\u00e9dias, et plus encore pour exprimer une opinion qui ne s’accorde gu\u00e8re avec celle de l’administration. La situation extraordinaire d’une telle libert\u00e9 prise par des officiers g\u00e9n\u00e9raux dans l’expression de leur opinion est illustr\u00e9e aujourd’hui<\/a> par une interview de Fallon au Financial Times<\/em>. L’amiral y d\u00e9veloppe ses th\u00e8ses habituelles, où il d\u00e9nonce ces gens qui lancent inconsid\u00e9r\u00e9ment des plans et des sc\u00e9narios de guerre contre l’Iran. Fallon tranche tout cela: pas question de pr\u00e9paration d’une attaque pour l’instant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

«The Pentagon is not preparing a pre-emptive attack on Iran in spite of an increase in bellicose rhetoric from Washington, according to senior officers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»Admiral William Fallon, head of Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, told the Financial Times that while dealing with Iran was a \u00ab\u00a0challenge\u00a0\u00bb, a strike was not \u00ab\u00a0in the offing\u00a0\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»\u00ab\u00a0None of this is helped by the continuing stories that just keep going around and around and around that any day now there will be another war which is just not where we want to go,\u00a0\u00bb he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»\u00ab\u00a0Getting Iranian behaviour to change and finding ways to get them to come to their senses and do that is the real objective. Attacking them as a means to get to that spot strikes me as being not the first choice in my book.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»Adm Fallon did not rule out the possibility of a strike at some point. But his comments served as a shot across the bows of hawks who are arguing for imminent action. They also echoed the views of the senior brass that military action is currently unnecessary, and should only be considered as an absolute last resort.<\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Les affirmations de Fallon, autant que le m\u00e9dia choisi pour les r\u00e9percuter, montrent indiscutablement un \u00ab\u00a0durcissement\u00a0\u00bb de l’opposition \u00e0 une attaque. C’est une opposition qui prend de moins en moins de pr\u00e9cautions pour s’afficher. Dans un autre article, d’aujourd’hui<\/a> encore, sur la question de l’attaque contre l’Iran \u00e9galement et qui donne largement la parole au parti grandissant des adversaires de ce choix, le Financial Times<\/em> rapporte des d\u00e9clarations qui mettent en \u00e9vidence, de fa\u00e7on ouverte d\u00e9sormais, cette opposition au sein du Pentagone:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

«\u00ab\u00a0There is no doubt that an element in the government wants to strike Iran,\u00a0\u00bb says retired General Joseph Hoar, a former head of Centcom, making an apparent allusion to Mr Cheney. \u00ab\u00a0But the good news is that the secretary of defence and senior military are against it.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
