Tehran's Nukes: Our intelligence community ignores the Iranian threat
The Washington Times ^ | May 11, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 05/10/2009 7:27:01 PM PDT by Abakumov

At last week's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings titled, "Engaging Iran: Obstacles and Opportunities," former Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns told senators that "there is no question [Iran is] seeking a nuclear weapons capability. No one doubts that." No one? Really? Actually, our own spy agencies belittle the Iranian threat.

"our own spy agencies belittle the Iranian threat."

The same CIA that was SHOCKED when both India and Pakistan tested nuclear weapons. Their comment in both cases was something like, "how could we possibly have known"?

Also the same CIA where Valerie Plame claimed that there were NO WMD's in Iraq. Except for the 500+ WMD's listed in the official report, after we invaded, captured and inventoried the WMD's.

Maybe the CIA has a different definition of the word, "None".

Each of the maps of the foregoing countries includes labels purporting to identify air force, missile defense and naval bases, as well as nuclear weapons facilities and other related areas.
