13 mai<\/a>, nous donne quelques indications<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abA group of Democratic senators on May 13 threatened to block a multimillion dollar U.S. arms deal with Saudi Arabia unless the kingdom ups oil production and helps cut soaring gasoline prices.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe Senators introduced a resolution of disapproval on the arms sale as President Bush prepared to head for Saudi Arabia, partly on a mission to contain runaway oil prices. We are saying to the Saudis that, if you don’t help us, why should we be helping you? said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. We are saying that we need real relief, and we need it quickly. You need our arms, but we need you to cooperate and not strangle American consumers.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe resolution, expected to be fast-tracked to the Senate floor, would prohibit the mammoth arms sale unless Saudi Arabia agrees to increase oil production by one million barrels per day.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbSchumer said such an increase could bring down the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pump by 50 to 75 cents. We’re losing our wealth. Our economy is heading south. That is the highest priority, not the Saudis getting the top-notch weapons, Schumer said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLe don de courte vue du personnel dirigeant du syst\u00e8me am\u00e9ricaniste US est \u00e9poustouflant, stup\u00e9fiant. La question du p\u00e9trole, du dollar, etc., sont autant de sympt\u00f4mes d’autant de crises syst\u00e9miques qu’on imagine, et eux en sont \u00e0 faire du marchandage mena\u00e7ant avec les Saoudiens pour obtenir un meilleur prix \u00e0 la pompe cet \u00e9t\u00e9. La pauvret\u00e9 intellectuelle et la m\u00e9diocrit\u00e9 d’\u00e2me des \u00e9lites occidentales est un de ces joyaux dans l’histoire de la chute des civilisations, qui m\u00e9rite de rester comme un \u00e9talon de la d\u00e9cadence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tCela dit du c\u00f4t\u00e9 des impr\u00e9cations, passons \u00e0 autre chose et observons l’enchev\u00eatrement des contradictions. Ce sont les USA, le lobby<\/em> du complexe militaro-industriel en l’esp\u00e8ce, qui ont forc\u00e9 l’Arabie \u00e0 acheter cette quincaillerie de toutes les fa\u00e7ons sans aucune efficacit\u00e9 dans les situations envisag\u00e9es, elles-m\u00eames hypoth\u00e9tiques et improbables sinon dans quelques cerveaux hyst\u00e9riques assortis de portefeuilles bien garnis. Maintenant, on menace l’Arabie de lui interdire la vente de ces armes qu’on lui a impos\u00e9e, et de priver le pauvre complexe d’une manne de $20 milliards. Si les Saoudiens avec deux sous de bon sens, quatre sous de courage et le go\u00fbt de l’ironie, ils diraient chiche ponctu\u00e9 d’un discret bras d’honneur. Dans l’attente, sans doute assez longue, nous observerons avec int\u00e9r\u00eat les suites de cette affaire, et comment, effectivement, cette fois avec mesure et prudence, les Saoudiens r\u00e9agiront.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
