On sait que les enjeux du budget de la d\u00e9fense US, des r\u00e9partitions budg\u00e9taires, des possibles r\u00e9ductions, sont consid\u00e9rables pour de multiples raisons, du domaine \u00e9conomique au domaine politique. Le site Bloomberg.com<\/em> a mis en ligne le 6 f\u00e9vrier<\/a> des indications pr\u00e9cises portant sur divers programmes du Pentagone. L’analyse s’appuie sur la version du budget qui est de consid\u00e9rer qu’il y a une r\u00e9duction de 10% des cr\u00e9dits pour le Pentagone (ann\u00e9e FY2010) par rapport aux demandes du Pentagone. (\u00abThe White House has given the Pentagon a limit of $527 billion for next year, excluding war spending, according to four defense or government officials. That’s $53 billion less than the proposal the military drafted in November. A chart prepared Feb. 3 for senior Defense Department officials by program analysts and budget officers outlines about $17.2 billion in possible cuts to the $115 billion allocated for weapons purchases and military construction in the draft.<\/em>\u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLes r\u00e9ductions budg\u00e9taires portent sur des \u00e9valuations des n\u00e9cessit\u00e9s budg\u00e9taires du Pentagone en tr\u00e8s forte augmentation (13,4%), si bien que le budget comprenant des r\u00e9ductions importantes se fera dans une enveloppe g\u00e9n\u00e9rale qui est pourtant en augmentation<\/strong> de 2,7% (par rapport au budget FY2009). Cela donne une mesure de la crise financi\u00e8re et budg\u00e9taire du Pentagone. (\u00abThe $527 billion limit set by the Office of Management and Budget is the amount the Bush administration estimated a year ago in its long-term budget. It would be an increase of about 2.7 percent over the 2009 defense budget approved by Congress. The $580.3 billion plan the Pentagon drafted in November represented an increase of 13.4 percent.<\/em>\u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tBref, le budget du Pentagone repr\u00e9sente clairement plus de 50% de toutes les d\u00e9penses militaires du monde , il est en augmentation de 2,7% et, pourtant, il est en crise profonde et tout le monde s’alarme d\u00e9j\u00e0, les neo-cons<\/em> type Kagan<\/a> en t\u00eate, devant ce qui est per\u00e7u comme presque un d\u00e9sarmement. Effectivement, le porte-parole du Pentagone nous restitue un ton de trag\u00e9die grecque: \u00abPentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell told reporters Feb. 3 that Gates recognizes we are going to be facing a constrained budget and is perfectly prepared to make hard choices. The reality is, the economic situation has deteriorated dramatically since we prepared the draft fiscal 2010 budget, Morrell said. We today can probably not be as ambitious as we were in that exercise.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tL’analyse de Bloomberg.com<\/em> donne des pr\u00e9cisions sur les hard choices<\/em> signal\u00e9s en principe (y compris par Gates devant le Congr\u00e8s, le 27 janvier dernier). Ils affecteraient notamment deux programmes importants qui nous int\u00e9ressent beaucoup: le JSF et le r\u00e9seau anti-missiles dans sa composante europ\u00e9enne (BMDE).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe cuts include $3.2 billion from the $8.6 billion proposed to buy more F-35s, $1.1 billion from the $2.8 billion proposed for the F-18E\/F, and the entire $2.5 billion the Navy proposed to buy more DDG-51 destroyers. In addition, $1.9 billion would be cut from the $4.6 billion the Army requested for the Boeing Future Combat Systems.<\/em> [] Other proposed reductions include cutting $200 million from the $300 million proposed for building a missile defense interceptor site in Poland and putting radar in the Czech Republic<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
