Next you'll tell me they have orbited a satellite or something...
IAEA suddenly beating the war drum. We’ll be fighting the Iranians alongside the Islamist Turks in six months and Israel will be attacked in the crossfire. Here comes Ottoman Empire II. Iran was a red herring all along.
So the Iranian nuke effort started immediately after the Iraqi nuclear program went missing. Coincidence?
Well, all I have to say to the IAEA is: No Sh**, Sherlock.
Of course, El Baradai was covering for the Iranians. I don’t care if people think I’m a bigot, but we should never entrust a Muslim with preventing proliferation of weapons. That is like trusting hiring an ex-con prison guard and expecting him not to smuggle contraband.
As you can imagine, such reliable sources as the New York Times made ample use of this declaration to beat the Bush'43 Administration bloody about its Middle East policy that centered upon weakening Iran. The fact that this report stated the following is almost mind boggling in its GROSS ERROR; But the new estimate declares with “high confidence” that a military-run Iranian program intended to transform that raw material into a nuclear weapon has been shut down since 2003, and also says with high confidence that the halt “was directed primarily in response to increasing international scrutiny and pressure.”
An interesting point to make here, I personally found this an unbelievable supposition when it came out but I was just a normal citizen so what did I know? Now we know that every appearance has this report as palpably FALSE, yet have any of the authors of this NIE been reassigned or maybe fired? Could it be that they saw the political winds of 2006-2008 and chose their opinions on who their new masters would be in 2009? Surely, I must be mistaken! /sarc
