873Acte bureaucratique par excellence, concernant le soldat bureaucratique par excellence, la nomination de Petraeus à la tête de la CIA inquiète dans divers milieux. Il s’agit du probable antagonisme avec le Pakistan, et avec ses fameux services de renseignement ISI, que cette nomination implique. Le New York Times s’en explique le 28 avril 2011.
L’argument semble acceptable, du point de vue politique et “stratégique”, et, par ailleurs, il complète l’appréciation bureaucratique de la nomination de Petraeus. Cela signifie une “régionalisation” de la CIA, qui va se concentrer de plus en plus sur les questions de terrorisme d’un point de vue militaire, et précisément dans la région impliquée, notamment avec (contre) le Pakistan. Cela correspond effectivement aux tendances bureaucratiques en cours au sein de l’appareil de sécurité nationale US, – et, ainsi, la bureaucratisation gagnant encore du terrain.
«The appointment of Gen. David H. Petraeus as director of the Central Intelligence Agency puts him more squarely than ever in conflict with Pakistan, whose military leadership does not regard him as a friend and where he will now have direct control over the armed drone campaign that the Pakistani military says it wants stopped.
»Pakistani and American officials said that General Petraeus’s selection could further inflame relations between the two nations, which are already at one of their lowest points, with recriminations over myriad issues aired publicly like never before.
»The usually secretive leader of the Pakistani Army, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, has made little secret of his distaste for General Petraeus, calling him a political general. General Petraeus has privately expressed outrage at what American officials say is the Pakistani main spy agency’s most blatant support yet for fighters based in Pakistan who are carrying out attacks against American troops in Afghanistan.
»Officials on both sides say they expect the two nations’ relationship to become increasingly adversarial as they maneuver the endgame in Afghanistan, where Pakistan and the United States have deep — and conflicting — security interests.
»Repairing the frayed ties between the C.I.A. and Pakistan’s primary spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, will be difficult, American officials say. “In its current form, the relationship is almost unworkable,” said Dennis C. Blair, a former American director of national intelligence. “There has to be a major restructuring. The ISI jams the C.I.A. all it wants and pays no penalties.” One American military official sought to play down the animosity with Pakistani officials, noting that the general had regularly met with the Pakistanis for nearly three years, most recently on Monday. Still, the official acknowledged that with General Petraeus leading the C.I.A., “the pressure may be more strategic, deliberate and focused — to the extent that it can be.”
»A Pakistani official described the mounting tensions as a game of “brinkmanship,” with both Adm. Mike Mullen, who as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been the Obama administration’s point man on Pakistan policy, and General Kayani growing impatient because they have little to show for the many hours they have invested during more than two dozen visits over the past three years...»
