Dark Suspicions About The NIE

(quote)

But I entertain an even darker suspicion. It is that the intelligence community, which has for some years now been leaking material calculated to undermine George W. Bush, is doing it again. This time the purpose is to head off the possibility that the President may order air strikes on the Iranian nuclear installations. As the intelligence community must know, if he were to do so, it would be as a last resort, only after it had become undeniable that neither negotiations nor sanctions could prevent Iran from getting the bomb, and only after being convinced that it was very close to succeeding. How better, then, to stop Bush in his tracks than by telling him and the world that such pressures have already been effective and that keeping them up could well bring about “a halt to Iran’s entire nuclear weapons program”—especially if the negotiations and sanctions were combined with a goodly dose of appeasement or, in the NIE’s own euphemistic formulation, “with opportunities for Iran to achieve its security, prestige, and goals for regional influence in other ways.”

Hey Maestro. I have reservations myself about the NIE’s conclusions. I no longer trust the “intelligence” community.

However, after GWB stomped Saddam, I’m not surprised the Iranians put the nuclear program on hold.

It’s amazing what happens when our nation shows some backbone.

Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute had an interesting comment about the NIE on Laura Ingraham's show this morning. He said the issue of Iran's nukes or lack of them should not be the linchpin of our govt's foreign policy on Iran. The nuclear program should only add urgency to our policy.

The real linchpin is that Iran has been at war with the US since 1979. They've killed many Americans and will undoubtedly continue to do so. How many of our citizens have to die before we wake up and acknowledge that Iran is conducting a low-level war against us? So what if they do or don't have a nuclear program?
