Think Progress<\/em>, dont l’\u00e9tiquette progressiste est brandie avec assurance et ferveur, et qui annonce une compilation des succ\u00e8s de politique ext\u00e9rieure d’Obama, et qui d\u00e9taille ces succ\u00e8s en \u00e9voquant les aspects les noirs de cette politique… (Le soulign\u00e9 en gras est de l’auteur.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abPrior to last night’s GOP foreign policy debate, the Center for American Progress Action Fund’s Think Progress blog which has several good and independent commentators who do excellent work announced that it had compiled a list of what you won’t hear at tonight’s GOP foreign policy debate: Obama’s successes. It is very worth reviewing what this self-proclaimed progressive site now under a Democratic President considers to be a foreign policy success, beginning with this:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAs I pointed out just yesterday, many Democrats not only passively acquiesce to Obama’s continuation of core Bush\/Cheney Terrorism policies, but enthusiastically cheer it as proof that they, too, can be Tough and Strong (manly virtues demonstrated by how many human beings their leader kills from afar). So here you have Think Progress heaping praise on Obama for seizing what is<\/em> literally the most radical power a President can seize<\/em><\/strong>: the power to target in total secrecy and with no checks or due process their fellow citizens for execution: specifically, assassination-by-CIA. Worse, to justify what Obama has done, TP spouts a blatant falsehood (that Awlaki was a senior Al Qaeda leader), even though actual Yemen experts have mocked that claim mercilessly and the administration itself refuses to reveal any evidence whatsoever about what it did or why. Revealingly, TP trumpets the claim that Al Awlaki’s death brought a damaging blow to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP); its link to justify that claim goes to the blog operated by the right-wing Heritage Foundation:<\/em> that<\/em><\/strong>, quite understandably, is who TP must now cite as authoritative to justify Obama’s foreign policy conduct.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tSuit une attaque f\u00e9roce de la politique d’assassinat que suit le pr\u00e9sident Obama, de personnes dont nul, sinon une myst\u00e9rieuse commission secr\u00e8te proche de la Maison-Blanche, ne sait la culpabilit\u00e9, dans des conditions stup\u00e9fiantes d’ill\u00e9galit\u00e9 qui apparentent l’acte \u00e0 une v\u00e9ritable contrat d’un tueur du crime oreganis\u00e9 autoris\u00e9 par le pr\u00e9sident des Etats-Unis. Greenwald n’a pas de mot assez dur pour qualifier le comportement de Thionk Progress<\/em>, qui est compl\u00e8tement similaire \u00e0 celui des robots irresponsables qui constituent le fond de commerce de la foule des candidats r\u00e9publicains \u00e0 l’investiture, de Romney \u00e0 Gingrich. On a ainsi un assez bon aper\u00e7u de la d\u00e9greadation extraordinaire de la pens\u00e9e assimil\u00e9e de ces canduidats r\u00e9publicains, d’Obama et de Think Progress<\/em> (les progressistes partisans d’Obama). La seule r\u00e9f\u00e9rence semble \u00eatre la capacit\u00e9 d’assassiner froidement, en toute impunit\u00e9, de la fa\u00e7on la plus m\u00e9prisable possible.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tEt qui sort intact de cette attaque au vitriol de Glenn Greenwald ? Ron Paul, bien entendu, dont Greenwald fait indirectement, avec une ironie sarcastique pour ses confr\u00e8res progressistes, l’\u00e9loge absolument paradoxal ; Ron Paul, la seule voix politique de dimension nationale, aux USA, d\u00e9non\u00e7ant sans rel\u00e2che l’imposture du Syst\u00e8me, les tromperies, la l\u00e2chet\u00e9 intellectuelle conduisant \u00e0 l’assassinat, \u00e0 l’absorption in\u00e9luctable de tous ces dirigeants politiques, le vaillant pr\u00e9sident Obama en t\u00eate, dans l’effondrement mal\u00e9fique <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abIt took Ron Paul whom every Good Progressive will tell you is Completely Crazy and Insane to point out to the GOP the rather glaring inconsistency between, on the one hand, distrusting government authorities to run health care, but on the other, wanting to empower the President to kill whomever he wants with no transparency or due process. As Conor Friedersdorf wrote last year in Newsweek about who and what is crazy:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbForced to name the craziest policy favored by American politicians, I’d say the multibillion-dollar war on drugs, which no one thinks is winnable. . . . If returning to the gold standard is unthinkable, is it not just as extreme that President Obama claims an unchecked power to assassinate, without due process, any American living abroad whom he designates as an enemy combatant?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbCrazy\/Insane Ron Paul also objected to the killing under Obama not only of Awlaki, but, two weeks later, of Awlaki’s 16-year-old son, also a U.S. citizen, and his 17-year-old cousin. Think Progress forgot to include those dead teenagers on its list of Obama’s foreign policy successes just as they forgot to include such smashing successes as this, this, this, this and this. But Ron Paul yet again showed how insane he is by pointing out that it’s a bad thing both morally and prudentially for the U.S. Government to run around continuously killing Muslim children from the sky. All Sane and Serious People know that the President has the right and the duty to keep killing Muslim teeangers such as Awlaki’s 16-year-old son; only crazies like Ron Paul object to such necessities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut even the craziest and most radical policies are immediately removed from the realm of craziness as soon as the leadership of both political parties agree on them. As evidenced by Think Progress’ listing of the Awlaki assassination as an Obama success joined in that assessment by Bachmann, Gingrich and Romney that is what Barack Obama has achieved for due-process-free presidential killings of our fellow citizens. Is there anyone, anywhere, who denies that had George Bush (rather than Obama) claimed the power to assassinate American citizens with the CIA with no due process or transparency, Think Progress would be vociferously objecting rather than celebrating?<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLorsqu’on mesure la vilenie absolue de la politique ext\u00e9rieure d’assassinat, de bandits, de tueurs sans conscience, qui caract\u00e9rise l’establishment<\/em>, lorsqu’on appr\u00e9cie les fureurs que ces constats d\u00e9clenchent chez des commentateurs de plus en plus nombreux, lorsqu’on c0nstate l’abysse qui est en train de se cr\u00e9er entre personnalit\u00e9s politiques qui se r\u00e9f\u00e8rent \u00e0 des \u00e9tiquettes semblables, on peut comprendre le potentiel explosif de la situation dans les sph\u00e8res politiques elles-m\u00eames ; cela, un peu partout dans le bloc BAO, et notamment en Europe, mais surtout aux USA, car c’est dans ce pays o\u00f9 la situation est la plus explosive<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tEt, au milieu de tout cela, un Ron Paul, le vieil oncle farfelu comme le nomme le Guardian<\/em> rendant compte du dernier d\u00e9bat du 10 novembre 2011<\/a> des candidats r\u00e9publicains, la seule voix sens\u00e9e dans ce concert de folies parano\u00efaques. Il est vrai que l’accumulation d’actes aussi vils que ceux qui caract\u00e9risent la politique ext\u00e9rieure des USA, et d’esprits aussi pathologiquement pavloviens, constitue l’\u00e9quivalent d’une bombe \u00e0 retardement. Lorsqu’on mesure la vigueur des propos de Greenwald, et ce que ce progressiste influent et extr\u00eamement engag\u00e9 est conduit \u00e0 dire de Ron Paul, on est confort\u00e9, dans tous les cas pour ce qui concerne les psychologies, dans la perception prospective d’une ann\u00e9e 2012 absolument explosive puisque cette ann\u00e9e ne sera qu’une continuelle mont\u00e9e de la tension au long de la campagne \u00e9lectorale.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
