Je souhaite à Fabius beaucoup de chance pour son prochain congrès de l'opposition syrienne
Après cette déclaration d'Obama, le taux d’absentéisme sera très fort

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama is still grappling with what role the United States should play in Syria's bloody conflict, which began nearly two years ago and has claimed the lives of 60,000 people, according to a United Nations estimate.
In interviews released Sunday, the president pushed back on criticism from political rivals that his administration has been overly detached from foreign unrest, including the ongoing Syrian civil war.
"Syria's a classic example of where our involvement, we want to make sure that not only does it enhance U.S. security, but also that it is doing right by the people of Syria and neighbors like Israel that are going to be profoundly affected by it," he explained later. "And so it's true sometimes that we don't just shoot from the hip."
"In a situation like Syria, I have to ask, can we make a difference in that situation?" he told the magazine.
"Would a military intervention have an impact? How would it affect our ability to support troops who are still in Afghanistan? What would be the aftermath of our involvement on the ground? Could it trigger even worse violence or the use of chemical weapons? What offers the best prospect of a stable post-Assad regime? And how do I weigh tens of thousands who've been killed in Syria versus the tens of thousands who are currently being killed in the Congo?"
"Those are not simple questions," he said, explaining that the aim for his presidency is to make "more right calls than not."
Ultimately, the United States won't be able to "control every aspect of every transition and transformation," Obama told "60 Minutes."
ps : les dés de la nouvelle politique américaine sont jetés.. c'était hautement prévisible.. l’heure est à la paix !..
