L’attention pour les \u00e9lections primaires des pr\u00e9sidentielles US est pour l’instant tourn\u00e9e vers les d\u00e9mocrates. Le c\u00f4t\u00e9 r\u00e9publicain n’est pas inint\u00e9ressant non plus, dans la mesure o\u00f9 la premi\u00e8re position de John McCain semble s’affirmer. Un vieux commentateur r\u00e9publicain, membre de la droite conservatrice traditionnelle et plut\u00f4t anti-guerre, Patrick Buchanan, fait \u00e9tat de sa nervosit\u00e9 \u00e0 ce propos. Pour Buchanan, John McCain est un pr\u00e9sident belliciste et son \u00e9lection signifierait la guerre, notamment et pour commencer, avec l’Iran.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tC’est au cours d’une interview avec MSNBC, le 28 janvier (rapport\u00e9 par RAW Story<\/em> le 28 janvier<\/a>), que Buchanan a expos\u00e9 son point de vue.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abMSNBC’s Joe Scarborough asked old-line conservative Pat Buchanan about McCain’s remarks, saying, He talked about promising that more wars were coming. … Is he so desperate to get off the economic issue?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbPat Buchanan replied that McCain never used the word promise but simply said there would be more wars, and that from McCain’s point of view, that is straight talk. … You get John McCain in the White House, and I do believe we will be at war with Iran.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThat’s one of the things that makes me very nervous about him, Buchanan went on. There’s no doubt John McCain is going to be a war president. … His whole career is wrapped up in the military, national security. He’s in Putin’s face, he’s threatening the Iranians, we’re going to be in Iraq a hundred years.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbSo when he says more war, Scarborough commented, he is promising you, if he gets in the White House, we’ll not only be fighting this war but starting new wars. Is that what conservative Republicans want?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbI don’t say he’s starting them, Buchanan answered. He expects more wars. … I think he’s talking straight, because if you take a look at the McCain foreign policy, he is in everybody’s face. Did you see Thad Cochran’s comment when he endorsed Romney? He said, look, John McCain is a bellicose, red-faced, angry guy, who constantly explodes.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tScarbourough fait allusion dans ses questions \u00e0 une d\u00e9claration de John McCain, le 27 janvier, faite au cours d’une r\u00e9union \u00e9lectorale (\u00abThere’s going to be other wars. … I’m sorry to tell you, there’s going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars.<\/em>\u00bb). Cette conviction belliciste de McCain est une de ses opinions, ou une de ses analyses les plus radicales. La question du caract\u00e8re, que soul\u00e8ve \u00e9galement Buchanan, est \u00e9galement importante. McCain a montr\u00e9 \u00e0 plus d’une reprise qu’il \u00e9tait emport\u00e9 et col\u00e9rique, ce qui jouerait \u00e9videmment un r\u00f4le dans le cas de circonstances politiques ou militaires dangereuses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tDans une interview en 2006<\/a>, Jeffrey St-Clair, de CounterPunch<\/em>, rappelait un \u00e9pisode opposant McCain \u00e0 un environnementaliste, le professeur en physique Witzeman: \u00abAnd when he was confronted by Doctor Witzeman in his office, McCain just exploded, and came within an inch of physically attacking this elderly physician. So he’s right on the edge. In 2000, when McCain was running for president, Witzeman said that this is the man who’s most likely to start a nuclear war.<\/em>\u00bb St-Clair observait \u00e9galement, toujours \u00e0 propos de cette question du caract\u00e8re qui doit \u00eatre notamment consid\u00e9r\u00e9e \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re de l’existence d’une atmosph\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale tr\u00e8s tendue et d’un contexte politique de crise grave: \u00ab[McCain is] the biggest hothead in the Congress as well. If you had your dream match-up in the 2008 presidential elections, it would have to be McCain and Hillary, because either of them could Blow their heads would just pop off. They’re both alike politically, and they’re both so tightly wound that they’re both on the verge of blowing up.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tJohn McCain est un personnage ambigu et explosif, \u00e0 la fois politiquement et psychologiquement. Pour cette raison notamment, il est un des candidats favoris des n\u00e9o-conservateurs. Pour lire tout le mal qu’on peut penser et craindre de John McCain, il faut consulter une chronique de Johann Hari, dans The Independent<\/em> du 24 janvier<\/a>. Hari cite notamment un des biographes du candidat r\u00e9publicain: \u00abHis most thorough biographer and recent supporter Matt Welch concludes: McCain’s programme for fighting foreign wars would be the most openly militaristic and interventionist platform in the White House since Teddy Roosevelt…<\/em> [it] is considerably more hawkish than anything George Bush has ever practised. With him as president, we could expect much more aggressive destabilisation of Venezuela and Bolivia and more.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 29 janvier 2008 \u00e0 05H10<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L’attention pour les \u00e9lections primaires des pr\u00e9sidentielles US est pour l’instant tourn\u00e9e vers les d\u00e9mocrates.
