French to English: La ligne musclée triomphe à Washington
Source text - French La ligne musclée triomphe à Washington
Colin Powell et les modérés ne pèsent plus guère à la Maison Blanche
Par Pascal RICHE, Washington de notre correspondant :
Après le discours sur l’état de l’Union du 29 janvier, la classe politique américaine s’est rangée comme un seul homme derrière la ligne dure définie par le président. Au sein de l’administration, c’est à qui sera le plus faucon : Condoleezza Rice, conseillère pour la sécurité nationale, décrit la Corée du Nord comme « le marchand numéro 1 de missiles balistiques » ; Donald Rumsfeld, secrétaire à la Défense et dur de l’équipe, explique que, dans une guerre, il vaut mieux attaquer l’ennemie avant qu’il ne vous attaque, et écarte par avance les objections des alliés des Etats-Unis : « L’union des volontés peut faciliter les guerres, mais elles ne doivent pas être menées par des comités » ; quant au prudent secrétaire d’Etat Colin Powell, il fait tout pour faire oublier son image de colombe. Il a d’ailleurs demandé à ses conseillers de coller au discours présidentiel sans chercher à l’adoucir. Il était vendredi au « Davos de New York » où il devait, en privé, s’efforcer d’expliquer à plusieurs de ses homologues (dont Hubert Védrine) la nouvelle position américaine.
Pendant la première phase de la campagne afghane, George W. Bush naviguait entre les deux tendances de son administration, préférant tantôt l’approche musclée que défendent son vice-président Dick Cheney ou son secrétaire à la Défense Donald Rumsfeld, tantôt la prudence de Colin Powell, soucieux de respecter les opinions des alliés et les susceptibilités des pays arabes modérés ou ceux d’Asie centrale. Depuis l’effondrement des talibans, les faucons ont triomphé. « La chute de Kaboul leur a donné raison, analyse un diplomate. On annonçait une catastrophe humanitaire, un nombre massif de victimes civiles, que la rue arabe se soulèverait, que le régime pakistanais serait déstabilisé… Rien de tout cela n’a eu lieu. » Depuis la conviction intime de Bush d’avoir été « choisi » par la providence pour débarrasser le monde des terroristes et des Etats « maléfiques » est plus forte que jamais.
Translation - English Hard Liners Triumph in Washington
Colin Powell and the moderates no longer wield much influence in the White House.
By Pascal RICHE, our Washington Correspondent:
Following the state of the Union speech on the 29th of January, the American political class gathered as one behind the hard line set out by the president. The question is, who is going to be the most hawkish of all within the administration: National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice described North Korea as “the number one ballistic missiles dealer;” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the toughest man of the team, says that in war, it is better to attack the enemy first before he attacks you, and he brushes aside the objections US allies may make in saying that “Wars can benefit from the coalitions of the willing, but they must not be fought by committees;” as for the cautious Secretary of State Colin Powell, he is doing his utmost to shed his image as a “dove”. Besides, he asked his advisers to stick to the line of the presidential speech without attempting to play it down. Yesterday he was at the World Economic Forum or “Davos” (moved to New York) where he was due to meet several of his colleagues (including Hubert Védrine) in a private meeting in an attempt to explain the new American position.
For the first stage of the campaign in Afghanistan, George W. Bush alternately followed each of the two sides of his administration, sometimes leaning to the hard line approach of his Vice-President Dick Cheney or his Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, sometimes backing the prudence of Colin Powell in favor of heeding the positions of his allies and trying not to upset the sensitivities of moderate Arab countries or those of central Asia. Since the downfall of Taliban, the hawks have triumphed. “The fall of Kabul proved them right” a diplomat observed. “People had been predicting a humanitarian catastrophe, a huge number of civilians killed, an Arab uprising and the destabilization of the Pakistan regime…None of this actually happened”. Since then, Bush’s conviction is that he has been “chosen” by Providence to rid the world of terrorists and of the “axis of evil” is stronger than ever.
