Poodle brand-new de Bush
Quarta-feira, agosto 29o, 2007
Por Pepe Escobar Era impregnably armored por suas intenções boas e por seu ignorance. - Graham Greene, O americano quieto PARIS - com o ministro principal britânico anterior Tony Blair fora do retrato, há agora “feito uma versão mais nova, mais magra, mais média, adrenalina-embalada de France”. Os agradecimentos a sua sustentação unrelenting para a guerra do presidente George W Bush em Iraq, Blair usaram-se ser derided em todos os cantos do globo como o poodle de Bush. Agora o cão self-appointed novo do regaço é presidente francês Nicolas Sarkozy. “Sarkozy hyperactive o primeiro” - enquanto é consultado extensamente em France - pronunciou apenas seu primeiro discurso principal da extrangeiro-política, a uma conferência anual de 200 embaixadores franceses impares dos bornes em torno do mundo. Não fêz exame de nenhum tempo para acoplar-se himself na casa branca atual e neo-conservador-promoveu a campanha de Irã-demonization. os Neo-cons e seu ilk em France, mais na maior parte meios sycophant, amaram-no obviamente, com raving imediato dos geopoliticians sobre o carrinho “prudent” e da “empresa” atrás do rhetoric de Sarkozy. Disse que uma bomba nuclear Iranian seria - como se agência internacional “inaceitável” da energia atômica das nações unidas' (IAEA) estava no verge de descobrir um ou dois escondido sob uma pilha dos tapetes exquisite de Hamadan. Sarkozy é no favor ainda mais de sanctions de encontro a Irã, mas é disposto falar no evento que a república Islamic suspende seu programa do nuclear-enriquecimento, que Irã tem uma direita sob o tratado nuclear do Non-Proliferation perseguir. Assim Irã deve renunciar uma direita inalienable para que o oeste seja disposto discutir a substância. Sarkozy tem inventado já a mordida sadia que molda a alternativa “catastrófica”: “A bomba Iranian, ou o bombardeio de Irã.” Sarkozy agora junta oficialmente o trovão dos E.U. e o relâmpago desencadeado pela casa branca, pelo Pentagon, pelos republicanos, pelas democratas e pelos meios incorporados, que toda a tomada para concedeu “todas as opções está o scenario na tabela” tanto quanto Irã. Com o IAEA que faz o progresso constante em ironing para fora enganos no programa nuclear de Irã, e em assinar uma compreensão a esse efeito, o novo casus belli du jour para atacar Irã é que está ajudando soldados americanos da matança dos guerrillas do ite de Shi' em Iraq. Assim a designação proposta da casa branca do revolucionário Iranian guarda o corpo como um equipamento do terrorista - tantamount a declarar a guerra no grupo do elite. Sarkozy para sua parte re-ataca na parte dianteira nuclear. Now that’s some real trans-Atlantic entente. Sarkozy said everything must be done to “prevent a confrontation between Islam and the West”. His idea of preventing confrontation is to antagonize Iran and - why not? - Turkey. Sarko stressed that the “only” option for Turkey’s accession talks with the European Union is a fuzzy partnership framed by a Mediterranean Union (which, he also stressed, should start by 2009). He remains absolutely against EU membership for Turkey. His vague proposal is to set up a “committee of wise men” to study where Europe is heading. The Istanbul daily Zaman tried to put on a brave face, stressing that even though Sarkozy prefers an association, he “will not be opposed” to new negotiations between the EU and Turkey. Sarkozy vaguely suggested that a possible solution to breach the West/Islam abyss would be for France to “help Muslim countries to have access to nuclear energy” (would Iran be included?). He did not say a word about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization fighting in Afghanistan; just that European meddling in Afghan affairs would be in vain if Pakistan “remained the refuge of Taliban and al-Qaeda”. Not only pontificating over the troubles of the Muslim world, Sarkozy also criticized a “certain brutality” by Russia and China in their thirst for energy in Africa - much to the delight of Washington. But Iraq, for Sarkozy, remains a “tragedy”. He had to take pains to stress that France “is and continues to be hostile to his war” - something that may distress Washington, but not as much as former president Jacques Chirac’s stubborn opposition to the war. The only solution in Iraq will be “political”, implying “a clear timetable for the retreat of foreign troops”. Here we have Sarkozy involuntarily joining Shi’ite leader Muqtada al-Sadr - and the Iranians. The Middle East is awash in so much grief that few in the region will bother to listen to what the new French mission civilisatrice amounts to - apart from the hard sell of Louis Vuitton bags to local elites. Meanwhile in Paris, relatively few voices are concerned over the Bush-Sarkozy lovefest - a measure of how Sarkozy, as former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi once did in Italy, exercises almost universal power over the French media (one of his former top advisers now is at the top at TF1, the private channel that subscribes to the Rupert Murdoch/Berlusconi school of mass television). The flashy Sarkozy has already been portrayed as the epitome of the new bling-bling right, which has replaced the defunct caviar left; his role models are Rupert “Fox” Murdoch and Bernard Arnault, the first fortune of France and owner, among others, of deluxe conglomerate LVMH. First a beaming Sarkozy met with Bush in Maine on August 11 during his tabloid-style holidays - complete with pirate Sarkozy invading a paparazzi boat. Then on August 19 he sent dashing Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on a Baghdad tour. Kouchner - who was in favor of the war on Iraq in 2003 - has lost all the credibility he had as “the French doctor” who founded Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders). He’s now no more than a Sarkozy messenger boy. Not happy to be constantly yapping on the phone with his new pal, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Kouchner made notoriously skillful French diplomats blush in disgust when he told Newsweek that Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had to go. Maliki demanded an apology; at least Kouchner was gentleman enough to acquiesce. Next month, Sarkozy goes back to the US, to attend the United Nations General Assembly. Not only is he eager to do anything to help Bush and “Condoleezza” in Iraq, he now goes all-out neo-con on Iran. After more than 100 days in power, he’s still immensely popular in France, frantically monopolizing the political spectrum on an around-the-clock basis. But he would be wise to spare a thought for what happens to hyperactive poodles that go against their voters’ wishes.
