Un intello peut-il mener une guerre? Ashton Carter serait le choix d'Obama pour la défense

 "A bona fide scholar whose pursuits have ranged from the monks of 12th century Flanders to quark theory to nuclear terrorism, Carter has surely earned his self-confidence. But as he prepares for the top military job amid uncertainty in Iraq and Syria, the question is whether a wonk is what America needs in wartime.

“Ash Carter is widely recognized as one of the country’s sharpest policy minds, which leads some to question whether or not he can actually run a war,” says Julianne Smith, a former deputy national security advisor to vice president Joe Biden now at the Center for a New American Security."
