An Intelligent Assessment of the National Intelligence Estimate

An Intelligent Assessment of the National Intelligence Estimate – JB Williams – Dec 06, 07:
Next, the report claims “We continue to assess with moderate-to-high confidence that Iran does not currently have a nuclear weapon.” (Note the moderate-to-high rating of this assumption and refer to the “explanation of estimative language”) In short, this statement say’s “we think, but don’t know.”Now, here’s the punch line that no news agency is reporting…“We continue to assess with low confidence that Iran probably has imported at least some weapons-usable fissile material, but still judge with moderate-to-high confidence it has not obtained enough for a nuclear weapon. We cannot rule out that Iran has acquired from abroad—or will acquire in the future—a nuclear weapon or enough fissile material for a weapon.”BINGO!Would any of these statements be made concerning any nation not still in the business of pursuing nuclear weapons technologies? To help out all mental midgets, especially those running for president, the answer is NO!

“The question is this. Are average American voters as stupid as the average Democrat politician or as politically myopic as the anti-American press? I’ve linked the 2007 NIE twice in this column already and now I’ll give it to you a third time in the hope that you will take a few minutes to go read it yourself… Here! http://www.dni.gov/press_releases/20071203_release.pdf The ONLY substantive difference between the 2005 NIE and the 2007 NIE is that in 2005, U.S. intelligence concluded that Iran could not have nuclear weapons grade materials before about 2015 and now they conclude that they can have those materials as early as 2009. Go read it! Yet the press, the politicians and European nations hoping to keep their profitable weapons trade with Iran intact, are telling you something quite different.”

Is the Left brainwashing the people of the world on this issue. The answer is obvious.
