La p\u00e9tition<\/a> est ouverte depuis quelques jours et rassemble d\u00e9j\u00e0 de nombreuses signatures assorties de commentaires. L’originalit\u00e9 de cette d\u00e9marche est double : 1) d’une part parce qu’elle est sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent \u00e0 notre connaissance, qu’il est sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent qu’un rassemblement de citoyens signe une p\u00e9tition concernant le d\u00e9veloppement d’un syst\u00e8me d’arme sp\u00e9cifique ; 2) d’autre part parce qu’elle porte sur un point tr\u00e8s sp\u00e9cifique qui, par ailleurs, est un signe tr\u00e8s puissant de la crise du JSF, \u00e0 savoir la demande, refus\u00e9e par le Pentagone, qu’a faite l’US Navy de suspendre le d\u00e9veloppement de la production du programme pendant trois ans pour faire une sorte d’audit du JSF, mesurer ses capacit\u00e9s dans un programme d’essais qui ne subisse pas la pression de la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 du d\u00e9ploiement de l’avion \u00e0 cause de cette production…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tVoici le texte de la p\u00e9tition POGO\/CDI, sous forme de lettre ouverte adress\u00e9e au secr\u00e9taire \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abThe F-35 is the poster child for what’s wrong with military procurement in Washington. At an outrageous cost of $1.5 trillion to procure and maintain over its lifetime, the F-35 is the most expensive government program the United States has ever seen. Even worse, it doesn’t work as intended and funnels money away from other priorities needed to address 21st century threats. Yet, Lockheed Martin, its subcontractors, and an army of lobbyists are determined to protect their cash cow and record profits by keeping the F-35 alive.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe Navy, however, has realized just how problematic the F-35C is and has requested a three-year pause in acquisition. Unfortunately, the Pentagon has reportedly blocked this request. The Navy should not be forced to purchase planes it neither wants nor needs. This would be an important first step in halting the overpriced, untested Joint Strike Fighter program.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWe the undersigned, urge Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to support the Navy’s reasonable request to put a hold on the purchase of more F-35Cs.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t… Bien entendu se pose la question de savoir si cette initiative est spontan\u00e9e et sans appui officieux, ou bien si elle a justement un appui officieux, par exemple de la Navy, qui pourrait arguer de l’\u00e9cho populaire n\u00e9gatif du blocage de sa proposition pour la renouveler. Dans tous les cas, l’originalit\u00e9 de l’initiative montre la puissance et l’importance du programme JSF, qui d\u00e9passent le cadre de sa sp\u00e9cialisation, et aussi la puissance et l’importance de la crise qui touchent ce programme.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
