On the Record: Climate Change as a Security Risk According to U.S. Administration Officials

May 20, 2013 by Caitlin Werrell and Francesco Femia

Obama_Bush_and_ClintonUnder both Republican and Democratic Administrations, leaders in the U.S. foreign policy and national security establishment have recognized the security risks of climate change, and have become increasingly active in arguing for a response commensurate to the threat. Below is a sampling of statements, and actions, regarding the security risks of climate change, by some of our current and past foreign policy and national security leaders. This is by no means a complete list, but it is a good reminder that climate change is far more than an environmental concern. See Jill Fitzsimmons’ post from last year for more.

Le père de la doctrine de financement des partisans afghans en guerre contre l’envahisseur l’URSS, Zbigniew Brzezinski http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski, propose l’instauration d’une zone de libre-échange transatlantique comme solution au déclin de l’occident

Pour mémoire, le Hezbollah avait été retiré de la liste étasunienne des organisations terroristes après le 11 Septembre 2001 (le groupe avait clairement dénoncé les attentats), et il y était revenu quelques temps après, sur la fois de fadaises éhontées de Dick Cheney. Relire cet article de 2007 : Why is Hezbollah on the Terrorism List ?
http://www.counterpunch.org/2007/04/06/why-is-hezbollah-on-the-terrorism-list

Placed on the “T” list in 1999, Hezbollah was taken off the list a couple of years later following Hezbollah’s strong condemnation of the 9/11 attack on America. Hezbollah was returned to the list when Dick Cheney opined that a “presumed Hezbollah operative” probably met with an Al Qaeda representative in South America in 2001. Similar to Cheney’s Saadam Hussein-Al Qaeda ‘contacts’ claim.

Oui, tu as bien lu : le Hezbollah est aujourd’hui sur la liste des organisations terroristes au motif que Dick Cheney (menteur pathologique) a prétendu que le Hezbollah avait des contacts avec Al Qaeda ! Dix ans après, la logique consisterait donc à retirer le Hezbollah de cette liste, puisqu’on sait évidemment que le Hezbollah et Al Qaeda sont des ennemis mortels, et non des alliés. Ah ah ah… la logique…

Amid the debate over the US withdrawal from Iraq: A new reading of the Baker-Hamilton Report

As for the domestic situation, the US administration does not appear to be serious about improving internal affairs, as recommended by the Baker-Hamilton Commission, especially in terms of achieving national reconciliation, security, and the improvement of services touching upon the daily lives of Iraqis: no timelines were ever set for the accomplishment of these targets. In addition, no standards were set for the US government to gauge the commitment of the Iraqi government to national reconciliation, security, and the improvement of services. Despite the apparent success in the holding of legislative elections in 2010, doubts regarding the results did not differ from those accompanying the 2005 elections, and the problems of national reconciliation, security, and the improvement of services remained the same.
