Iran, A.D. 2003
The Leftists in Big Media are calling the latest NIE report a refutation of the Bush Administration’s warnings that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons.
It’s great to know that the anti-Bush Left have recovered their confidence in our government’s intelligence agencies —although I can’t recall when it was they had any before we invaded Iraq and overthrew Saddam. Anybody know? After all, one of the few standard deviations of the Leftist (or, schizophrenic) mind is its preoccupation with the CIA and the NSA and whatever else now falls under the DNI. They can’t be too sure now that the “intelligence community” knows what it’s talking about if it didn’t before, can they?
Did Iran, in fact, suspend its nuclear weapons program in 2003? If it did, why did it? Iran had been seeking the bomb for many years up to that point —only to stop cold? What could be the reason?
My guess would be the very near presence of the United States military —the single greatest guarantor of human freedom of the past century.
