Contacts entre USA et émissaires de Kadhafi
par Maurizio Matteuzzi

Le 20 juillet 2011

Même
les « humanitaires » (USA, OTAN, France, jusqu’à l’Italie du futile
Frattini qui depuis quelques jours ne se montre plus) ont dû s’en rendre
compte. Pour rompre l’impasse il faut une initiative diplomatique,
« une solution politique » (sur laquelle même l’OTAN continue à papoter,
entre deux bombardements). Hier (mardi 19 juillet, NdT), le
Département d’Etat étasunien a confirmé les contacts d’envoyés - qui
devraient être Jeffrey Feltman, secrétaire assistant pour le Proche
Orient, et l’ambassadeur en Libye Gene Cretz- avec
de non mieux spécifiés émissaires libyens. La rencontre se serait tenue
samedi à Djerba, en Tunisie. Selon les Usa il ne s’est pas agi de
« négociations » mais seulement de la remise d’un message « clair et
ferme », « simple et non ambigu » : Kadhafi doit s’en aller. La
rencontre a été confirmée bien que lue d’une autre manière par les
Libyens. Le porte-parole du gouvernement libyen, Moussa Ibrahim, a parlé
d’un « pas important pour réajuster les rapports avec les USA »,
soutenu par Tripoli comme « n’importe quel dialogue et initiative de
paix, pourvu qu’il ne prétende pas décider de l’avenir de la Libye
depuis l’étranger », et sans poser de « pré conditions ». Washington
insiste à dire que « ce ne sont pas des négociations » et que d’autres
rencontres ne sont pas prévues.
Mais
il semble clair que même les Américains n’y croient plus beaucoup. Idem
pour les Français du très belliqueux Sarkozy, qui à ce qu’il semble ont
eu des rencontres similaires avec les Libyens, eux aussi à Djerba.
Sarko (le président N. Sarkozy, NdT), tout comme l’anglais
Cameron (qui pour le moment a d’autres chats à fouetter), depuis le
début de la « guerre humanitaire », est le plus endiablé des
« volontaires » (sa réélection de 2012 se jouant aussi sur le front
libyen, entre autres raisons) mais lui aussi alterne désormais entre
postures napoléoniennes et diplomatie souterraine. Il devrait
aujourd’hui recevoir à l’Elysée les chefs militaires des insurgés de
Misrata, accompagnés de ce triste charlatan de nouveau philosophe
Bernard-Henri Lévy, pour assurer de nouvelles fournitures d’armes après
celles, très critiquées et jusqu’à présent inutiles, parachutées aux
insurgés sur les montagnes du Djebel Nefussa. « Le compte à rebours a
commencé », a tenté de répéter le ministre de la défense français Gérard
Longuet. Mais ça fait 5 mois qu’ils répètent la même litanie et
désormais même eux n’y croient plus.
Ceux
qui travaillent pour une plus logique solution négociée sont les Russes
(qui ne sont pas aller se mettre en rang derrière l’Occident pour
reconnaître le Cnt de Benghazi comme « seul représentant légitime » de
la Libye), les Turcs et les Sud-Africains pour le compte de l’Union
africaine. Lundi (18 juillet, NdT) c’était le président de l’Afrique du Sud, Jacob Zuma, hier (19 juillet)
le président russe Dmitri Medvedev qui s’est dit convaincu qu’ « un
compromis » entre Tripoli et Benghazi est encore « atteignable » et
garde une position « équidistante » entre les deux parties
(contrairement à l’ONU et à l’OTAN).
Aujourd’hui
le ministre des affaires étrangères russe Serghei Lavrov rencontrera
son homologue libyen Abdelati al Obeidi « dans le cadre des efforts de
l’Union africaine pour qu’on cesse de répandre le sang et pour trouver
une solution politique ».

How Not to Make Friends in the Greater Middle EastWashington’s Singular Accomplishment
By Tom Engelhardt
In the method, there is madness; in the comedy, nightmare; in the tragedy, farce.
And despite everything, there’s still good news when it comes to what Americans can accomplish in the face of the impossible! No, not a debt-ceiling deal in Washington. So much better than that.
According to Thom Shanker of the New York Times, the U.S. military has gathered biometric data -- “digital scans of eyes, photographs of the face, and fingerprints” -- on 2.2 million Iraqis and 1.5 million Afghans, with an emphasis on men of an age to become insurgents, and has saved all of it in the Automated Biometric Information System, a vast computerized database. Imagine: we’re talking about one of every 14 Iraqis and one of every 20 Afghans. Who says America’s a can’t-do nation?
The Pentagon is pouring an estimated $3.5 billion into its biometric programs (2007 through 2015). And though it’s been a couple of rough weeks when it comes to money in Washington, at least no one can claim that taxpayer dollars have been ill-spent on this project. Give the Pentagon just another five to 10 years in Iraq and Afghanistan and the biometric endeavor of a lifetime should be complete. Then Washington will be able to identify any Iraqi or Afghan on the planet by eye-scan alone.
Be proud, America!
And consider that feat a bright spot of American accomplishment (and not the only one either) in a couple of weeks of can’t-do news from the Greater Middle East. After all, despite those biometric scans, an assassin managed to gun down Our Man in Kandahar (OMK), Ahmed Wali Karzai, the Afghan president’s half-brother, in his own residence. He was the warlord the U.S. military buddied up with as U.S. troops were surging south in 2009 and who helped bring American-style “progress” to the Taliban heartland.
Of course, before he was OMK and our great ally in southern Afghanistan, he was OEK (Our Enemy in Kandahar), the down-and-dirty, election-fixing, drug-running evil dude whom one American military official more or less threatened to take out. (“The only way to clean up Chicago is to get rid of Capone” was the way that Major General Michael Flynn, the top U.S. military intelligence officer in the country, put it at the time.) And before he was OEK, he was CMK (the CIA’s Man in Kandahar), right up there on the Agency’s payroll; and even before that, speaking of Chicago, he was a restaurateur in that city who... but I’m losing track of my point, as Americans have a knack for doing in Afghanistan.

New U.S. Terror Report Warns of Insider Threat to Utilities - Brian Ross, Rhonda Schwartz, and Megan Chuchmach (ABC News)
Sabotage by an insider at a major utility facility, including a chemical or oil refinery, could provide al-Qaeda with its best opportunity for the kind of massive Sept. 11 anniversary attack Osama bin Laden was planning, according to U.S. officials.
A new intelligence report from the Department of Homeland Security issued Tuesday, titled "Insider Threat to Utilities," warns "violent extremists have, in fact, obtained insider positions," and that "outsiders have attempted to solicit utility-sector employees" for damaging physical and cyber attacks.

Evangelical Christians Gather to Lend Support to Israel - Bryan Yurcan (Christian Post)

- In Scarred Syria City, a Vision of a Life Free from Dictators - Anthony Shadid
The revolt against President Bashar al-Assad has begun to help Syrians imagine life after dictatorship as they forge new leaders and organize their own defense. In Hama, Syria's fourth largest city, dozens of barricades of trash bins, street lamps, bulldozers and sandbags, defended in various states of vigilance, block the feared return of the security forces that surprisingly withdrew last month. Protests begin past midnight, drawing raucous crowds of youths celebrating the simple fact that they can protest. "Hama is free," the protesters chant, "and it will remain free."
In 1982, under the orders of Hafez al-Assad, the Syrian Army brutally quelled a revolt in Hama. During three weeks of fighting, planes bombed Hama's historic quarter, and tanks plowed through narrow streets. Mass executions were routine, as was torture visited on survivors. (New York Times)

The Palestinian Union of Public Employees warned the Palestinian Authority on Monday that it may call a general strike if the PA fails to come up with a plan by July 26 on how it intends to pay salaries, without interruption, to more than 150,000 civil and military personnel. In June, the PA paid only half of the salaries. Three weeks into the new month, it has not yet been able to pay the other half.
The head of the public employees union, Bassam Zakarneh, has charged that Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has been able to pay for projects and trips abroad for his ministers, but that when it comes to salaries, Fayyad says he does not have the money. Zakarneh even said that if Fayyad is unable to pay salaries, how can he claim that the PA will be ready for statehood in September when it plans to ask the UN for recognition.
All the PA can do now is appeal for help from the donors, mainly the Arab countries whose aid has dropped. Some analysts, however, believe that the donors are using the aid to pressure the PA to drop plans to ask for UN recognition. (Los Angeles Times)

- House Committee Saves Israeli Aid in Foreign Aid Cut - Ron Dagoni
The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Wednesday cut the Obama administration's $51 billion 2012 budget request for the State Department and foreign aid by $6.4 billion, but kept unchanged the $3 billion in military aid for Israel. Bipartisan support for Israel keeps U.S. military aid intact a year after Congress ratified an agreement that formalizes U.S. aid for Israel through 2018.
According to a statement by committee chairwoman Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.): "The bill reaffirms support for Jerusalem as Israel's undivided capital by requiring that Jerusalem be identified as Israel's capital on relevant U.S. Government documents, and requires the Executive Branch to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem by the start of 2014. It also expresses Congress' opposition to the Arab League Boycott of Israel."
"The bill states that it shall be U.S. policy to uphold the reassurances provided by the President of the United States in an April 2004 letter to the Prime Minister of Israel, which reassured U.S. support for secure, defensible borders for Israel and for Israel's qualitative military edge, and stated that it is unrealistic to expect negotiated final borders to parallel the pre-1967 lines." (Globes) - Mullen and Netanyahu Worried by Large Flow of Arms from Syria to Lebanon - Mati Tuchfeld and Lilach Shoval
U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced concern during a meeting in Jerusalem Tuesday over the flow of arms from Syria to Hizbullah taking place against the backdrop of the violent Syrian unrest. Mullen's visit centers on discussions about the threat of Iran and its influence on the Arab world. Other topics discussed were the new regime shaping up in Egypt and arms smuggling from Sinai to Gaza. (Israel Hayom) - Jerusalem Yawns at Lebanon Threat to Take Maritime Line Dispute to UN - Herb Keinon
Israel responded with a yawn on Wednesday to Lebanese media reports that the country might complain to the UN Security Council about the maritime border approved by the Israeli cabinet on July 10. Israel made the move now because under international maritime law, if one country makes a claim and another country does not counter it, the silence of the second country is viewed as acquiescence. One Israeli official said Lebanon violated international maritime law by unilaterally demarcating the border last year.
According to the official, borders cannot be marked unilaterally, but rather must be agreed upon by both countries, or be sent to an arbitrator that both sides agree upon. Since Lebanon refused to do either, the official said, it can't just set the maritime border on its own. Once it did, Israel had no choice but to do the same in order to protect its interests. (Jerusalem Post)
- Palestine Is Addicted to Aid - Tim Marshall
An African UN worker in the West Bank recently remarked to a mutual friend, "'When people see me coming they see a walking ATM machine." There are well over 200 NGOs in the West Bank and Gaza, and 30% of its GDP comes from international aid. Palestinians are among the most foreign aid funded people in the world and the place is awash with money. Even if the Palestinians declare full statehood in September they would not be truly independent because Palestine is addicted to aid and as long as you are addicted you are in thrall to your supplier.
The billions that pour in mean the Palestinian Authority does not need to try very hard to deliver services. It also stifles the private sector, inflates wages and causes an internal "brain drain" as the NGOs recruit the best of the local talent. This is not to argue that NGOs are not required, many are, but they distort the situation, and fundamentally the Palestinians cannot have properly functioning businesses, nor be fully independent, until their leaders are partially weaned off their addiction to other peoples' money. (Sky News-UK) - Eliminating Israel - Benny Morris
A poll run by American pollster Stanley Greenberg, conducted jointly by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion, found that 61% of Palestinians rejected the American-Israeli formulation for a settlement of the conflict based on two states for two peoples, one for the Arabs and one for the Jews. Only 34% supported a "two-states-for-two-peoples" solution. 66% adopted the PLO-PA gradualist approach of a "two-stage solution" - approving a first stage in which there would be two states before moving onto "stage two" with the establishment of one Palestinian Arab-majority state over all of Palestine.
Perhaps the international quartet should take this poll, and what it tells us, into account when considering Netanyahu's fears regarding the Palestinian leadership's real aims in pressing on with its intention to unilaterally declare independence and obtain international endorsement of Palestinian statehood in the West Bank and Gaza along the 1967 lines.
Abbas' people, if this poll is to be believed, clearly regard this diplomatic initiative only as part of "stage one," and nothing more. (National Interest) - 336 Homes Supposedly Threaten World Peace - Rick Richman
With negotiations with the Palestinians nowhere in sight, Israel has announced tenders for 336 settlement units - 294 in Beitar Illit (a large community just outside Jerusalem) and 42 in Karnei Shomron (a small one). If the "peace process" ever produces a peace agreement, Beitar Illit and Karnei Shomron will remain part of Israel.
The PA responded by accusing Israel of harming "not only Israeli-Arab peace, but also the entire world peace," showing why it "prompts us to go to the UN." Actually, the PA has rejected three offers of a state in the past decade, and announced in 2009 it was unwilling to negotiate further. It now issues ludicrous statements about areas it knows are not going to be part of a Palestinian state. (Commentary)
- In Ramallah, construction seems to be taking place on every block - proper office buildings, stores and apartments. Arab Jerusalemites and British Arabs come here for parties and fancy weddings. At a local museum, a major Picasso exhibition has opened up.
- The Western-trained police strut about with polish and confidence. Scarred by the example of Gaza, where Fatah activists were rounded up and killed by Hamas, Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces have made common cause with Israel (whose military presence here is non-existent - at least during the day) in eradicating Hamas from public life.
- The PA's media director, Ghassan Khatib, tells me: "The experience of 2000-2003 [the Second Intifada] was very costly for us. Violence is to Israel's advantage. It is not wise for us to be dragged into Israel's area of strength."
- Mahmoud Labadi, a charismatic, old-guard PA apparatchik, launched himself into the realm of fantasy by claiming that the entire Jewish historical claim to Jerusalem's core is bogus, because no Jewish temple ever existed in the area. Palestinian leaders have fallen back on this insulting conspiracy theory for years. Remaining firmly in the sphere of conspiracy theory, Labadi then rehashed the debunked claim that Israeli archeologists are plotting to destroy the Dome of the Rock, which sits on the Temple Mount.
- These
conspiracy theories are being used to advance an agenda - which is to
strip Israel of its historical identity as the homeland for the Jewish
people. An Israel disconnected from Jewish history wouldn't have any
basis to reject the "right of return" claimed by the descendants of
1948-era Palestinian refugees.

Из всех явлений, духовных и социальных, характеризующих
современное существование, главное место по значимости принадлежит
отчуждению. Расстояние, на котором индивидуум находится от простого,
непосредственного и невинного отождествления с нацией, обществом, своим
физическим окружением и другими людьми, является отличительной чертой
века, причем такой, которая имеет свое очевидное духовное отражение.

Двенадцать колен Израилевых - это вовсе не то, что находится
под столом, за которым сидят шесть народных комиссаров… Само слово
“колена” - матот (буквально “ветви”, “посохи”) - реминисценция
увиденного пророком Еремией миндального посоха как символа неминуемого
наказания и столь же неминуемого утешения. И скрытой невиданной силы…

Тора говорит: завоевание и заселение земли – это не
исключительно мужское занятие. Каждая душа народа Израиля имеет "долю в
этой земле" – тот фрагмент материального мира, которым этому человеку
надлежит овладеть, который он должен окультурить и освятить.

Killings in Afghanistan; End of an era in US; Famine in SomaliaAfter the death of his younger half brother, Afghan president Hamid Karzai has lost more allies in Afghanistan. Adviser to Karzai, Jan Mohammad Khan and parliamentarian Mohammad Hashim Watanwal died in an overnight attack in Khan's home in Kabul.Days later, four police officers were killed in a gun battle with anti-government fighters in the nation's second largest city, Kandahar. The spate of killings come as NATO forces begin to officially handover security responsibility of key Afghan cities to the nation's own security forces. The successful landing of the space shuttle Atlantis brings an end to NASA's 30-year shuttle programme. The shuttle programme's end will have deep reverberations on Florida. The home of Cape Canaveral is estimated to lose 7,000 shuttle-related jobs. The effects of the programme's closure is sure to ripple throughout the state as central Florida has come to be known as the Space Coast. The community's attachment to the programme has led to signs on roads near Kennedy Space Center counting down the days to the scheduled landing of the Atlantis. Citing 3.7 million people "in crisis," the United Nations has officially declared famine in parts of southern Somalia. UN officials fear inaction will lead to the spread of famine throught the entirety of southern Somalia. All tolled, 10 million people are said to be affected by what is being called the worst drought in decades. This has led one US official to call the horn of Africa drought one of the worst humanitarian crises in decades. In response to the great need in Somalia, the United Nations has made its first official aid drop in territories held by opposition group al-Shabbab. |

Sampler
Platter is a new recurring series on HuffPost Food, in which we will
explore amazing versions of classic dishes at restaurants around the
country. First up: Ribs.
We talked to the minds behind each of the dishes, and they let us in on the secrets of what makes their version so delicious and distinctive. Some of what they revealed is practically a recipe; you might find some good tips for your own cooking. But most of them whet the palate just enough to make you want to visit the restaurant and order them for dinner.
