Iran NIE Is Not A Typical Intel NIE

A long read but worth it. Very interesting ties.

John Bolton said tonight on the O’Reilly factor that he thinks that there is a agenda in this latest NIE report and he knows the people with agenda who wrote this report.

[jrooney]

IMO, this is push back by liberals trying to stop GW from taking out Iran’s nuke facilities. Problem is this will come back to haunt the dems in the long run.

I read AJ daily. Good stuff!

[jrooney]

He does some good work.

The President basically told the appeasers in today’s press conference to go and pound sand, he is not changing his position on Iran and that he will not allow them to acquire nuclear weapons. The President never said that Iran has nuclear weapons but they are working on enriching uranium which the most important step to make nukes in addition to the know how. The Iranian terrorist regime has not stopped enriching uranium and hence according to the President nothing has changed, he will keep going after them.

[jveritas]

Good stuff indeed.

“The Iranians change their stories to fit the facts.” He added, “I think it’s striking that the more the agency learns, the more the Iranians have to change their stories,” and he predicted the IAEA would have to deal with Iran “for many years to come.”

[jrooney]

GW did do a good job today. He will keep doing whatever he has too. I highly doubt Cheney and GW will cower to the dems over the NIE.

[Old Sarge]

Not your typical NIE??

[keat]

What a huge and worthless embarrassment the CIA has become.

[nuconvert]

Why wouldn’t the Bush administration or other Republicans ‘finger’ Fingar?

“John Bolton said tonight on the O’Reilly factor that he thinks that there is a agenda in this latest NIE report and he knows the people with agenda who wrote this report.”

I heard that, too

[Mr. Mojo]

...written by former State Department political and intelligence analysts

Not exactly a surprise to learn that Foggy Bottom Arabists - redundant, I know - are found at the bottom of this manure pile.

[jrooney]

The NIE just came out. Maybe they will, now some are questioning it. Evidently John Bolton questioned it tonight on O’Reilly and Fred Thompson said he doubted it (NIE).

[icwhatudo]

I think we will find there are more dem plants in this NIE than in that GOP debate on CNN.

[Mr. Mojo]

BOR condescendingly shrugged off Bolton’s skepticism tonight. He’ll be eating crow before long. ...but not publicly, of course.

[jrooney]

Yeah BOR does not admit mistakes well or at all sometimes.

[jrooney]

I think you are right. Maybe that is why GW dismissed it today.
