By ALEXANDER COCKBURN |亞歷山大科克| Two years without a single leak and suddenly, last week, Obama’s operation was like a sieve.兩年來沒有一個洩漏，突然，上週，奧巴馬的行動就像一個篩子。 That’s what happens when you pick up the phone and call one of the Clintons.這就是當你拿起電話，並要求之一的克林頓。 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，換句話說，這就是當有人要求你，當選總統，拿起了電話，並要求克林頓夫人問她是否想將國務秘書。 Out the window goes the sense of purposeful strides towards a new-look Administration.窗外不用意義上的有意義的步伐邁向一個新的，期待行政當局。 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.在是一個可怕的感覺，不知我們已經下跌了三維空間，時間連續，並返回到克林頓時代。 A couple of more weeks and the Republicans will be calling for a special prosecutor.幾個星期和共和黨將要求一名特別檢察官。 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.我已經人試圖向我解釋政治邏輯的奧巴馬提供他過去的民主黨對手的最高排名在他的內閣。 Better to have her inside the tent.更好地得到她的帳篷內。 Send her off on bouts of futile shuttle diplomacy, like Condoleezza Rice.送她上了幾次徒勞的穿梭外交，像康多莉扎賴斯。 It still doesn’t add up.它仍然沒有增加。 Why march back briskly into Clintontime? Besides, she’d make a lousy Secretary of State.為什麼回來輕快遊行到Clintontime ？此外，她會作出糟糕的國務秘書。 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.克林頓夫人從來沒有顯示任何談判的人才，甚至也沒有任何突出的胃口找出正在發生的事情在世界上，更不用說拿出一個新的設想美國的作用在21世紀。 She’s an interventionist by instinct, her finger twitching over the Bomb Release lever.她是一個干涉的本能，她的手指抽搐了投彈的槓桿。 She voted yes on the Iraq war.她投了贊成票的伊拉克戰爭。 She was an ardent advocate of NATO’s onslaught on Yugoslavia.她是一名熱心的倡導者北約攻擊南斯拉夫。 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?如果我們這樣做希拉里在獲得國家，我們可能會馬德琳奧爾布賴特為她的一個sidekicks -誰該女子說，在2 0世紀9 0年代末的飢餓5 0萬伊拉克兒童是“值得的” ，可能是線， 9 / 1 1劫機者基地被嘀咕自己當他們加快其使命的報復對雙塔。這是改變嗎？ 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.答案當然是必須有大量的相似之處克林頓和奧巴馬行政部門，因為奧巴馬是一個新自由主義的干預像比爾，由於45和50歲的退伍軍人的兩個克林頓政府誰已冷卻他們的高跟鞋在律師事務所和智囊團八年來彌補高比例的人在僱用線，特別是那些誰放置的早期賭奧巴馬。 To round off the symmetry the new White House counsel will be Greg Craig, who defended Clinton during his impeachment.要全面關閉對稱的新白宮律師將格雷格克雷格，誰在捍衛克林頓的彈劾。 And the cabinet members Obama has announced or who are being bandied about are not inspiring.和奧巴馬內閣成員已宣布或誰正在bandied對不令人鼓舞。 They’re dull like former Democratic senator Tom Daschle getting Health and Human Services.他們是枯燥像前民主黨參議員湯姆達施勒獲得衛生與人類服務。 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.霍華德迪安，誰是醫生，誰掌握了時間處理健康insirance當他是來自佛蒙特州的州長，本來一個更好的選擇。 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.珍妮特納波利塔諾，亞利桑那州州長計劃將負責國土安全部，勞動組織者感到在一次會議今年早些時候，聽她的隊友踢移徙工人回到墨西哥。一個走向提名的共和黨在他的工場聽證會是埃里克匣，命名將總檢察長。 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.隨著2號在克林頓的司法部，邊發揮作用，骯髒的一個最可恥的事務，克林頓時，最後一分鐘由克林頓赦免億萬富翁商人和denizen聯邦調查局通緝，馬克里奇。 (See （見 Jeffrey St. Clair’s account of the pardons杰弗裡聖克萊爾的帳戶赦免 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 .為持有人的核心作用的事。 ）早在2002年匣了有線電視新聞網的觀點對待被俘的恐怖分子： “的事情之一，我們顯然要與這些囚犯是有能力的審訊，並找出他們未來的計劃可能會在其他細胞的所在地;根據日內瓦公約。 . 。 . 。 you are really limited in the amount of information that you can elicit from people.你真的有限的信息量，您可以得到來自人民。 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.在我看來，鑑於以何種方式進行了自己，但是，他們沒有，事實上，人民有權保護的日內瓦公約。 They are not prisoners of war.”他們不是戰俘。 “ Other possible appointments are not demonstrative of a resolute change of pace.其他可能的任命是不示範的堅決改變步伐。 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.會談是保持羅伯特蓋茨擔任國防部長，但蓋茨已沒有明顯標記的巨大善心旁邊的波多馬克。 The conversion of this mucky schemer of yesteryear into revered emblem of sound governance is one of the many marvels of our age.轉換這個臟謀士的歲月到崇敬的徽章健全的治理是一個許多奇蹟我們的年齡。 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.不某處的道路，我們可能會最終與另一泥濘的同胞，前海軍部長理查德丹齊格，誰罪狀是他常棲息加拿大安全情報局和中心的一種新的美國安全，還裝飾了可憎的羅伯特卡普蘭和博士Nagl 。 The most significant appointment will be Treasury Secretary.最重要的任命將於財政部長。 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.在當前的形式奧巴馬將發揮它的安全與頂端提名運行此部開始，蓋特納的紐約聯邦儲備銀行，與薩默斯某處組合。 The trouble here is that there is no safe option and the usual suspects will have the usual limited perspective.麻煩的是，沒有安全的選擇，通常的嫌疑人將通常的有限的觀點。 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.總之，這個看起來像一個標準的問題，一切照舊內閣的決策，是令人振奮的是看一個小組經常顯示網絡在星期天早晨。 Can’t they find anyone under 40 who looks like they might want to do things different and shake things up?他們無法找到任何人在40歲以下誰看起來他們可能想要做的事情不同，動搖的東西了嗎？ The Golden Age of Eating was….黃金時代的飲食是... 。 But first a quotation.但是，第一次報價。
