Obama trop "cool": publication de "Worthy figts" de Leon Panetta

Les anciens conseillers de Barack Obama ne tardent pas à capitaliser sur leur passage au sein du cabinet! Leon Panetta (défense et CIA) lance aujourd'hui un livre sur son passage en politique et les critiques sont généralement positives. À en juger par le contenu de cet article, je me laisserais bien tenter! Robert Gates et Hillary Clinton se sont livrés au même exercice il y a peu de temps.

 "As for Syria, Panetta says that Obama “vacillated” on his “red line” pledge to take military action against chemical weapons in 2013. He writes, “The result, I felt, was a blow to American credibility.”

Panetta says he admires the president as “a realist and a pragmatist,” qualities the two men share. But he observes that Obama’s penchant for “playing it cool” has a severe downside: “On occasion he avoids the battle, complains, and misses opportunities.” From Panetta, who comes across in this book as a man who has never shirked a fight he thought was right, that’s a harsh critique."
