Le Congr\u00e8s versus<\/em> Assad : changement d’humeur?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Les neocons<\/em> sont dans la plus grande alarme car il semblerait que le Congr\u00e8s US, dans tous les cas les d\u00e9mocrates, commence \u00e0 \u00eatre effleur\u00e9 par ce qui semblerait \u00eatre du bon sens. Il s’agit de d\u00e9clarations de plusieurs parlementaires d\u00e9mocrates, apr\u00e8s des auditions montrant l’\u00e9tat absolument catastrophique<\/strong> du programme d’entraînement d’opposants syriens \u00e9ventuellement anti-Daesh<\/em> mais n’ayant surtout rien \u00e0 voir avec Assad (et qui seraient \u00e9ventuellement pr\u00eats \u00e0 devenir anti-Assad sur le champ de bataille, s’ils s’y reconnaissent). La r\u00e9action de ces \u00e9lus d\u00e9mocrates est de dire : si nous ne sommes pas capables de produire des combattants syriens anti-Daesh<\/em>, alors pourquoi ne pas laisser faire Assad qui, lui, au moins, a une arm\u00e9e qui se bat contre Daesh ?<\/em> L\u00e0-dessus, certains enchaînent en observant que les performances US dans le domaine du regime change<\/em> avec effets satisfaisants sont \u00ab\u00a0extr\u00eamement maigres\u00a0\u00bb, pour ne pas dire squelettiques.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Un tel discours de bon sens dans des biuches am\u00e9ricanistes a de quoi stup\u00e9fier, et il stup\u00e9fie effectivement. (Nous sommes stup\u00e9fi\u00e9s.) Il faut dire que le programme mentionn\u00e9 plus haut, qui a d\u00e9j\u00e0 coût\u00e9 $500 millions au Pentagone, a produit entre 4 et 5<\/a> combattants anti-Daesh, selon les propres mots du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Austin, \u00e0 la fois chef de CENTCOM et un peu g\u00ean\u00e9 de sortir en public ces chiffres absurdissimes. Julian Pecquet rapporte, pour Al Monitor<\/em> du 16 septembre, les principales d\u00e9clarations<\/a> des \u00e9lus d\u00e9mocrates. Les r\u00e9publicains, dont on connaît la crainte terroris\u00e9e du moindre bon sens lorsqu’il s’agit des aventures guerri\u00e8res, se montrent bien entendu beaucoup plus r\u00e9serv\u00e9s et gardent pour l’instant, aux derni\u00e8res nouvelles, leur flamme anti-Assad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

«The issue came to a head Sept. 16 as a key Senate panel held its first IS hearing since the first batch of 54 US-trained rebels was routed in late July<\/a> by al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra as soon as it entered Syria. Reports that Russia is beefing up Assad’s forces<\/a> with tanks, troops and artillery has only added to the calls of some Democrats for a new strategy. \u00ab\u00a0I don’t know that it helps for us to keep banging the table about Assad,\u00a0\u00bb panel member Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told Al-Monitor. \u00ab\u00a0I think it would be better for us to be as effective as possible in fighting <\/em>[IS] and restoring some kind of security environment that shifts back the flow of refugees.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

» Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., shared similar misgivings. \u00ab\u00a0I think we’ve come to a point where we should be reassessing what our strategy <\/em>[should be<\/em>] with respect to Assad and Syria and the conflict there," she said. "I don’t have the answer on me about what I think that should be, but I really think we’re at a point where we need to reassess, because what we’ve been doing is not working.\u00a0\u00bb Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he’s worried about the \u00ab\u00a0void\u00a0\u00bb left by Assad’s removal in the absence of any viable moderate opposition. \u00ab\u00a0Who are you going to replace him with? What are you going to do? Leave a void?\u00a0\u00bb he told Al-Monitor. \u00ab\u00a0That hasn’t worked with Saddam <\/em>[Hussein] or with <\/em>[Moammar<\/em>] Gadhafi. It’s a royal, royal mess, and we’re just throwing more money at it and making it messier.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

» And Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., cautioned against open calls for toppling Assad. Instead, he has backed the creation of humanitarian safe zones for civilians brutalized by the regime’s barrel bombs as well as Islamist extremists. \u00ab\u00a0I don’t think regime change should be an official policy of the United States,\u00a0\u00bb Kaine said. \u00ab\u00a0Our batting record is very poor.\u00a0\u00bb The growing angst follows repeated assurances by the Barack Obama administration that Assad \u00ab\u00a0must go\u00a0\u00bb and that his days were \u00ab\u00a0numbered.\u00a0\u00bbFour years and more than 200,000 deaths later, the only groups making much progress on the ground appear to be IS and other extremist militant groups.<\/em> »<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
