Par Loren B. Thompson, analyste lobbyiste de Lockheed Martin, au sein du Lexington Institute, par cons\u00e9quent chantre imp\u00e9ratif de l’am\u00e9ricanisme et de la gloire du syst\u00e8me de l’am\u00e9ricanisme, principalement le JSF comme il va de soi. Pourtant, on a d\u00e9j\u00e0 signal\u00e9<\/a> des aspects ambivalents chez Loren B. Thompson. Il en fait une fois de plus la d\u00e9monstration.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tAu moment du retrait de ce pays, son analyse de la guerre en Irak, comme la plus grande erreur dans l’histoire militaire des Etats-Unis, est quasiment parfaite. Loren B. Thompson critique tout, les motifs de la guerre, les montages faits \u00e0 cette occasion, la fa\u00e7on dont elle fut men\u00e9e, le prix en hommes et en budget qu’elle couta aux USA, et enfin le r\u00e9sultat catastrophique pour les int\u00e9r\u00eats US, avec un champ grand ouvert \u00e0 l’influence iranienne.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLoren B. ne s’attarde pas \u00e0 la cruaut\u00e9 de ce conflit, \u00e0 son ill\u00e9galit\u00e9, aux innombrables victimes civiles irakiennes, \u00e0 l’an\u00e9antissement d’une structure civile et culturelle mill\u00e9naire, qui vaut en qualit\u00e9 tout ce que le bloc BAO pourra produire dans ses ambitions quantitatives et pr\u00e9datrices, ni enfin \u00e0 la pathologie psychologique qui est la v\u00e9ritable racine de l’entreprise, tout cela, de la part des USA, cela va de soi. Loren B. Thompson reste un bon soldat de l’am\u00e9ricanisme, mais sa critique tranchante peut \u00eatre utilis\u00e9e \u00e0 bon escient pour caract\u00e9riser l’intelligence et la hauteur de vue de la puissance en cours d’effondrement qui nous est propos\u00e9e comme mod\u00e8le ; et pour nous confirmer qu’effectivement la chose est en cours d’effondrement Le seul commentaire de Loren B. qui nous laisse sceptique est celui o\u00f9 il dit : \u00abAnd then there is all the money that was spent, and the wounded who will need our care<\/em> for decades<\/em><\/strong> to come.<\/em>\u00bb Il est donc s\u00fbr que les USA dureront encore quelques d\u00e9cennies ? Pas nous.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLoren B. Thompson a fait para\u00eetre un article de son analyse dans Forbes<\/em> du 15 d\u00e9cembre 2011<\/a>. Dans Early Warning<\/em> du 15 d\u00e9cembre 2011<\/a>, il en donne un r\u00e9sum\u00e9, fort bien fait, qui se suff\u00eet \u00e0 lui-m\u00eame.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThere was a time when the Vietnam War was widely regarded as the biggest mistake in American military history, but Washington’s nine-year occupation of Iraq may end up looking worse. Unlike Vietnam, where the United States was pursuing a bipartisan strategy of containing communist aggression, the invasion of Iraq was an ad hoc response to faulty intelligence in the aftermath of the 9-11attacks. And unlike Vietnam, which had a shared language and cultural traditions North and South, Iraq is a diverse, contrived state that can probably only be held together over the long run by authoritarian leaders. Having fashioned a Shiite-dominated democracy on the edge of an Arab world known for Sunni-led dictatorships, America may have opened the door for expanded Iranian influence in the region. Even if that can be prevented, the aura of invincibility once enjoyed there by the U.S. military has now been eclipsed by bad intelligence and the difficulty of coping with insurgent tactics. And then there is all the money that was spent, and the wounded who will need our care for decades to come.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n dedefensa.org<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Excellente analyse de la catastrophe irakienne, par qui ?
