By ALEXANDER COCKBURN |亚历山大科克| Two years without a single leak and suddenly, last week, Obama’s operation was like a sieve.两年来没有一个泄漏，突然，上周，奥巴马的行动就像一个筛子。 That’s what happens when you pick up the phone and call one of the Clintons.这就是当你拿起电话，并要求之一的克林顿。 Or, to put it another way, that’s what happens when someone claims you, the president elect, picked up the phone and called Mrs Clinton to ask whether she’d like to be secretary of state.或者，换句话说，这就是当有人要求你，当选总统，拿起了电话，并要求克林顿夫人问她是否想将国务秘书。 Out the window goes the sense of purposeful strides towards a new-look Administration.窗外不用意义上的有意义的步伐迈向一个新的，期待行政当局。 In comes a dreadful feeling that somehow we’ve slipped a dimension in the space-time continuum and are heading back into the Clinton era.在是一个可怕的感觉，不知我们已经下跌了三维空间，时间连续，并返回到克林顿时代。 A couple of more weeks and the Republicans will be calling for a special prosecutor.几个星期和共和党将要求一名特别检察官。 I’ve had people try to explain to me the political logic of Obama offering his erstwhile Democratic rival a top position in his cabinet.我已经人试图向我解释政治逻辑的奥巴马提供他过去的民主党对手的最高排名在他的内阁。 Better to have her inside the tent.更好地得到她的帐篷内。 Send her off on bouts of futile shuttle diplomacy, like Condoleezza Rice.送她上了几次徒劳的穿梭外交，像康多莉扎赖斯。 It still doesn’t add up.它仍然没有增加。 Why march back briskly into Clintontime? Besides, she’d make a lousy Secretary of State.为什么回来轻快游行到Clintontime ？此外，她会作出糟糕的国务秘书。 Mrs Clinton has never displayed any talent for negotiation, nor even any conspicuous appetite to find out what is going on in the world, let alone come up with a new vision of America’s role in the 21st century.克林顿夫人从来没有显示任何谈判的人才，甚至也没有任何突出的胃口找出正在发生的事情在世界上，更不用说拿出一个新的设想美国的作用在21世纪。 She’s an interventionist by instinct, her finger twitching over the Bomb Release lever.她是一个干涉的本能，她的手指抽搐了投弹的杠杆。 She voted yes on the Iraq war.她投了赞成票的伊拉克战争。 She was an ardent advocate of NATO’s onslaught on Yugoslavia.她是一名热心的倡导者北约攻击南斯拉夫。 If we do get Hillary at State we may get Madeleine Albright as one of her sidekicks – the woman who said in the late 1990s that starving half a million Iraqi children was “worth it”, probably the line that the 9/11 al Qaeda hijackers were muttering to themselves when they sped on their mission of revenge towards the Twin Towers. This is change?如果我们这样做希拉里在获得国家，我们可能会马德琳奥尔布赖特为她的一个sidekicks -谁该女子说，在2 0世纪9 0年代末的饥饿5 0万伊拉克儿童是“值得的” ，可能是线， 9 / 1 1劫机者基地被嘀咕自己当他们加快其使命的报复对双塔。这是改变吗？ The answer of course is that there has to be a good deal of similarity between the Clinton and Obama administrations, because Obama is a neoliberal interventionist like Bill, and because the 45 and 50-year old veterans of the two Clinton administrations who have been cooling their heels in law firms and think tanks for eight years make up a high percentage of those in the hiring line, particularly those who placed an early bet on Obama.答案当然是必须有大量的相似之处克林顿和奥巴马行政部门，因为奥巴马是一个新自由主义的干预像比尔，由于45和50岁的退伍军人的两个克林顿政府谁已冷却他们的高跟鞋在律师事务所和智囊团八年来弥补高比例的人在雇用线，特别是那些谁放置的早期赌奥巴马。 To round off the symmetry the new White House counsel will be Greg Craig, who defended Clinton during his impeachment.要全面关闭对称的新白宫律师将格雷格克雷格，谁在捍卫克林顿的弹劾。 And the cabinet members Obama has announced or who are being bandied about are not inspiring.和奥巴马内阁成员已宣布或谁正在bandied对不令人鼓舞。 They’re dull like former Democratic senator Tom Daschle getting Health and Human Services.他们是枯燥像前民主党参议员汤姆达施勒获得卫生与人类服务。 Howard Dean, who was a doctor and who had hands-on time grappling with health insirance when he was governor of Vermont, would have been a much better choice.霍华德迪安，谁是医生，谁掌握了时间处理健康insirance当他是来自佛蒙特州的州长，本来一个更好的选择。 Janet Napolitano, the Arizona governor slated to be head of Homeland Security, horrified labor organizers at one meeting earlier this year listening to her boasting about kicking migrant workers back into Mexico. One nominee headed towards a Republican roasting in his hearings is Eric Holder, named to be Attorney General.珍妮特纳波利塔诺，亚利桑那州州长计划将负责国土安全部，劳动组织者感到在一次会议今年早些时候，听她的队友踢移徙工人回到墨西哥。一个走向提名的共和党在他的工场听证会是埃里克匣，命名将总检察长。 As number 2 in Clinton’s Justice Department, Holder played a grimy role in one of the most scandalous affairs of Clinton-time, the last minute pardon by Clinton of billionaire trader and denizen of the FBI’s most wanted list, Marc Rich.随着2号在克林顿的司法部，边发挥作用，肮脏的一个最可耻的事务，克林顿时，最后一分钟由克林顿赦免亿万富翁商人和denizen联邦调查局通缉，马克里奇。 (See （见 Jeffrey St. Clair’s account of the pardons杰弗里圣克莱尔的帐户赦免 for Holder’s central role in the affair.) Early in 2002 Holder gave CNN his views on the treatment of captured terrorists: “One of the things we clearly want to do with these prisoners is to have an ability to interrogate them and find out what their future plans might be, where other cells are located; under the Geneva Convention .为持有人的核心作用的事。 ）早在2002年匣了有线电视新闻网的观点对待被俘的恐怖分子： “的事情之一，我们显然要与这些囚犯是有能力的审讯，并找出他们未来的计划可能会在其他细胞的所在地;根据日内瓦公约。 . 。 . 。 you are really limited in the amount of information that you can elicit from people.你真的有限的信息量，您可以得到来自人民。 It seems to me that given the way in which they have conducted themselves, however, that they are not, in fact, people entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention.在我看来，鉴于以何种方式进行了自己，但是，他们没有，事实上，人民有权保护的日内瓦公约。 They are not prisoners of war.”他们不是战俘。 “ Other possible appointments are not demonstrative of a resolute change of pace.其他可能的任命是不示范的坚决改变步伐。 The talk is of keeping Robert Gates on as Defense Secretary, although Gates has made no significant mark on the vast pork barrel beside the Potomac.会谈是保持罗伯特盖茨担任国防部长，但盖茨已没有明显标记的巨大善心旁边的波多马克。 The conversion of this mucky schemer of yesteryear into revered emblem of sound governance is one of the many marvels of our age.转换这个脏谋士的岁月到崇敬的徽章健全的治理是一个许多奇迹我们的年龄。 Somewhere don the road we’ll probably end up with another slimy fellow, former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig, who counts among his regular roosts CSIS and the Center for A New American Security, also decorated by the odious Robert Kaplan and Dr John Nagl.不某处的道路，我们可能会最终与另一泥泞的同胞，前海军部长理查德丹齐格，谁罪状是他常栖息加拿大安全情报局和中心的一种新的美国安全，还装饰了可憎的罗伯特卡普兰和博士Nagl 。 The most significant appointment will be Treasury Secretary.最重要的任命将于财政部长。 On current form Obama will play it safe with the top nominees to run this Department, starting with Geithner of the New York Fed, with Larry Summers somewhere in the mix.在当前的形式奥巴马将发挥它的安全与顶端提名运行此部开始，盖特纳的纽约联邦储备银行，与萨默斯某处组合。 The trouble here is that there is no safe option and the usual suspects will have the usual limited perspective.麻烦的是，没有安全的选择，通常的嫌疑人将通常的有限的观点。 In sum, this looks like a standard issue, business-as-usual cabinet in the making, about as exciting as looking at one of the regular network panel shows on a Sunday morning.总之，这个看起来像一个标准的问题，一切照旧内阁的决策，是令人振奋的是看一个小组经常显示网络在星期天早晨。 Can’t they find anyone under 40 who looks like they might want to do things different and shake things up?他们无法找到任何人在40岁以下谁看起来他们可能想要做的事情不同，动摇的东西了吗？ The Golden Age of Eating was….黄金时代的饮食是... 。 But first a quotation.但是，第一次报价。
