布什的全新的长卷毛狗
星期三， 2007年8月29日
他由他的好意图和他的无知是坚固地装甲的。 - Graham Greene， 安静的美国人 PARIS - With former British prime minister Tony Blair out of the picture, there’s now a newer, leaner, meaner, adrenaline-packed “Made in France” version. 由于他不退让的支持乔治· W布什总统的战争在伊拉克，布莱尔在地球的所有角落曾经被嘲弄当布什的长卷毛狗。 现在新的自封的哈叭狗是法国总统Nicolas · Sarkozy。 The hyperactive “Sarkozy the First” - as he is widely referred to in France - has just pronounced his first major foreign-policy speech, to an annual conference of 200-odd French ambassadors from posts around the world. 他没有花些时间参与自己当前白宫并且新保守促进了伊朗恶魔化行动竞选。 在法国，加上主要巴儿狗媒介，明显地爱，与立即geopoliticians叫嚷关于“慎密”和“牢固的”立场的新负面因素和他们的家族在Sarkozy的修辞之后。 他说伊朗核弹是“不能接受的” -，好象联合国’国际原子能组织(国际原子能机构)在发现一两的边缘掩藏在堆精妙的Hamadan地毯之下。 Sarkozy是倾向于制裁伊朗，但是愿意谈话在伊斯兰教的共和国暂停它的核充实节目，伊朗有权利根据原子能的非扩散化条约追求的事件。 如此伊朗必须放弃不可分割的权利为了西方能是愿意谈论物质。 Sarkozy已经铸造了构筑“灾难”选择的原声摘要播出： “伊朗炸弹或者伊朗的轰炸”。 Sarkozy正式地现在加入美国雷，并且白宫、五角大楼、共和党人、民主人士和公司媒介解开的闪电，所有理当如此“所有选择在桌”情景，只要伊朗。 当国际原子能机构获得稳固的进步在伊朗的核项目解决误解和签署理解对那个作用，新 casus belli du jour for attacking Iran is that it is helping Shi’ite guerrillas kill American soldiers in Iraq. 因而伊朗革命家的白宫提出的指定在精英守卫军团作为恐怖分子成套装备-同等到宣称战争。 Sarkozy为他的部分在核前面再攻击。 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.
