Rand Paul, fils de Ron et nouveau s\u00e9nateur du Kentucky (et star<\/em> de Tea Party<\/em>), raffermit sa pens\u00e9e politique. Dans ses premi\u00e8res d\u00e9clarations, on l’avait per\u00e7u comme un peu flottant, ind\u00e9cis, etc., sur les questions de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale et de politique ext\u00e9rieure, moins activiste et antiguerre que son p\u00e8re. Mais Rand Paul semble \u00e9voluer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tD’abord, il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que les d\u00e9penses du Pentagone ne devaient pas \u00eatre intouchables dans le mouvement de r\u00e9duction des d\u00e9penses publiques. Puis il a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une proposition de loi pour r\u00e9duire de $500 milliards les d\u00e9penses publiques. Il propose notamment de couper tout le budget de l’aide \u00e0 l’\u00e9tranger. Y compris pour Isra\u00ebl ? C’est l\u00e0 que la chose devient int\u00e9ressante, concernant cette aide de pr\u00e8s de $4 milliards par an, consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme intouchable par la pens\u00e9e conformiste et unique (jusqu’\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent…) de l’establishment<\/em> washingtonien (interview de CNN, reprise par reason.com<\/em> le 27 janvier 2011<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abPressed on CNN’s Situation Room about details on his budget cut plans, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says end all foreign aid and when pressed further says that includes to Israel.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbPaul touches on the lack of wisdom of funding both sides of an arms race in the Middle East, then hat-tips to Israel’s role as a fountain of peace and democracy in the Middle East, but concludes that, especially when we’re borrowing all the money from China, all foreign aid has to go.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbIt’s an interesting dance, avoiding seeming critical of Israel (which he refused to do), yet still doing the one thing that people who get upset at those who are critical of Israel want the least out of a U.S. politician: cutting off U.S. support.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n dedefensa.org<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rand Paul met en cause la sacro-sainte aide \u00e0 Isra\u00ebl Rand Paul, fils de Ron et nouveau s\u00e9nateur du Kentucky (et star de Tea Party), raffermit sa pens\u00e9e politique.
