Diverses d\u00e9clarations en cette fin de semaine font penser que l’administration Obama est sur le point d’annoncer des r\u00e9ductions budg\u00e9taires importantes. Cette fois, il semble bien que la crise est en train de parler durement et d’imposer des restrictions. Les pourcentages annonc\u00e9s tournent autour de 10% du budget FY2010 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par l’administration Bush, et qui va \u00eatre restructur\u00e9 pour \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au Congr\u00e8s en avril<\/a> (avec deux mois de retard). Ces 10% impliquent une somme autour de $55 milliards.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa chose est notamment annonc\u00e9e par FOXNews<\/em> le 30 janvier<\/a>, avec la pr\u00e9cision que les premi\u00e8res mesures pourraient \u00eatre annonc\u00e9es d\u00e8s lundi 1er f\u00e9vrier:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe Obama administration has asked the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon’s budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent about $55 billion a senior U.S. defense official tells FOX News.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe m\u00eame jour, le s\u00e9nateur Carl Levin, qui pr\u00e9side la Commission des forces arm\u00e9es du S\u00e9nat, a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 les m\u00eames nouvelles d’intention de r\u00e9duction s\u00e9rieuse du budget de la d\u00e9fense. Des d\u00e9tails sont donn\u00e9s par Defense News<\/em> le 30 janvier<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abConfronted by two costly wars and a collapsing economy, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee is preparing to trim military spending on weapons, committee chairman Sen. Carl Levin said Jan. 30. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThat’s not just me speaking. The secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs<\/em> [of Staff<\/em>] have spoken about<\/em> [how<\/em>] we have got to face the reality that there’s going to be a reduction somewhere in the defense budget. We don’t want to reduce personnel; we don’t want to shortchange personnel amid a war, he said. \u00ab\u00a0So we’ve got to look to the future and make savings there. There’s the fact of life.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLevin n’a pas indiqu\u00e9 quels syst\u00e8mes et programmes pr\u00e9cis pourraient \u00eatre abandonn\u00e9s. Il a laiss\u00e9 entendre qu’on parle notamment du programme F-22, ce qui n’a pas vraiment grand sens puisque la seule question autour du F-22 est de savoir si l’on poursuit ce programme; l’abandonner aujourd’hui n’\u00e9conomiserait certainement pas de quoi financer l’achat de la cargaison mensuelle de chewing gum<\/em> de la bureaucratie du Pentagone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe seul point sur lequel Levin a \u00e9t\u00e9 plus pr\u00e9cis a \u00e9t\u00e9 le syst\u00e8me anti-missiles (BMDE pour l’Europe), qui semble d\u00e9cid\u00e9ment avoir de plus en plus de plomb dans l’aile. Cela expliquerait les bonnes dispositions<\/a> des Russes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab[Levin] said I’d love to see cuts to the missile-defense program. Too much money has been spent on missile defense systems before adequate, realistic testing has been done, he said.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWhile waiting for the budget to arrive, the Senate Armed Services Committee will also explore the possibility of entering into a joint missile-defense program with Russia to counter the threat that Iran might someday be armed with nuclear missiles. There is potential here for a real breakthrough in terms of relations with Russia, Levin said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbDefense against a nuclear-armed Iran is one of the strongest interests the U.S. and Russia have in common, he said. And U.S. and Russia cooperation on a missile-defense system has the potential to change the entire dynamic vis-\u00e0-vis the world and Iran. Levin said he has received indications that there is some real support in the Obama administration for such a joint effort. Both Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have expressed enthusiasm. So have officials from the NATO alliance, Levin said.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tD’autre part, Levin s’est longuement \u00e9tendu sur la r\u00e9forme n\u00e9cessaire du syst\u00e8me d’acquisition du Pentagone, qui appara\u00eet \u00eatre la premi\u00e8re priorit\u00e9 pour lui, et, semble-t-il, pour l’administration Obama. Levin a expos\u00e9 diverses orientations pour cette r\u00e9forme, sans originalit\u00e9 puisqu’on essaie la chose depuis si longtemps, et toujours selon les m\u00eames orientations, ce qu’il conc\u00e8de ais\u00e9ment. La seule diff\u00e9rence avec ce qui a pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9, semble-t-il, c’est que les conditions budg\u00e9taires font que cette r\u00e9forme est devenue vitale, du type: c’est \u00e7a ou la banqueroute..<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abCongress has promised acquisition reforms for at least 30 years. Levin said, I hope it’s different this time. He said a real buildup of d\u00e9termination to impose reforms and an increasingly bleak budget situation make acquisition reform more possible this year.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
