As we look back on those critical years during the Cold War, so too our grandchildren will one day look back on this time as a defining moment in America\u2019s history. History will judge whether we did all we could to defeat a vicious extremist enemy that threatened our security, our freedom, our very way of life. Or, if we left it to the next generations to try to fight an enemy strengthened by our weakness, and emboldened by our lack of resolve.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

De m\u00eame que nous nous penchons sur les ann\u00e9es critiques de la Guerre Froide, nos petits enfants \u00e9tudierons ce moment d\u00e9cisif de l’histoire des Etats Unis. L’Histoire jugera si nous avons tout fait pour battre cet ennemi extr\u00e9miste et vicieux, qui menace notre s\u00e9curit\u00e9, nos libert\u00e9s, notre mode de vie. Ou bien si nous avons laiss\u00e9 aux g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures le soin de se battre contre un ennemi renforc\u00e9 par nos faiblesses, encourag\u00e9 par notre manque de volont\u00e9<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tout est dit. Entre ce discours et celui de Mme Pelosi, on mesure l’\u00e9cart. Si les D\u00e9mocrates \u00ab\u00a0red\u00e9ploient\u00a0\u00bb (euph\u00e9misme pour \u00ab\u00a0quitter\u00a0\u00bb) l’arm\u00e9e US aux USA, l’Iraq tombera aux mains de ses voisins (d\u00e9mant\u00e8lement entre la Turquie pour le Kurdistan, les zones Shiites aux mains d’Amadhinejad, les zones Sunnites aux mains des Syriens).<\/p>\n

Tout sera \u00e0 refaire, en plus dur. D’o\u00f9 lancer des attaques contre l’Iran ? De l’Afghanistan ? Encore faut-il que le Pakistan ne sombre pas lui-m\u00eame aux mains d’islamistes ou que les D\u00e9mocrates ne d\u00e9cident pas un \u00ab\u00a0red\u00e9ploiment\u00a0\u00bb pour l’Afghanistan aussi!<\/p>\n

Avec la course aux armes nucl\u00e9aires, il ne restera bient\u00f4t plus qu’une seule option disponible. Elle est terrifiante. J’en reparlerai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
