The latest National Intelligence Estimate has been greeted by a mixture of relief and alarm. As I have been saying all along, Iran indeed poses no quantifiable imminent nuclear threat to us or her neighbors. It is with much alarm, however, that we see the administration continue to ratchet up the war rhetoric as if nothing has changed.
Indeed nothing has changed from the administration’s perspective, as they have had this latest intelligence report for some time. Only this week has it been made known to the public. They want it both ways with Iran. On the one hand, they discredit the report entirely, despite it being one of the most comprehensive intelligence reports on the subject, with over 1,000 source notes in the document. On the other hand, when discrediting it fails, they claim that the timing of the abandonment of the weapons program, just as we were invading Iraq, means our pressure must have worked, so we must keep it up with a new round of even tougher sanctions. Russia and China are not buying this, apparently, and again we are finding ourselves on a lonely, tenuous platform on the world stage.
I am in the middle of Scott Ridder’s book (he’s the former IAEA arms inspector) – he’s absolutely TRASHING the administration.
They have known for years that Iran had stopped it’s uranium enrichment program for nuclear armament. They DO have the right to build nuclear reactors for power generation and according to his book, prior to the invasion of Iraq, they became even more transparent with what they were doing.
The book is worth a read –
The head Zionists in AIPAC and the Israeli government are having epileptic fits over the NIE Report. They are absolutely screaming at Bu$hco and Cheneyburton to disregard it.
In the meantime, the CIA and other agencies are plotting to keep stabbing Bu$hco in the backside.
About time somebody done something!
Again, for an absolutely eyepopper (you’ll be totally gobsmacked) – READ
Target Iraq by Scott Ridder …
The AIPAC and Israel meddling will absolutely disgust you.
