Ex-CIA chief Michael Hayden says Netanyahu's Iran nukes announcement was 'old news'
CNN ^ | May 1, 2018 | Maegan Vazquez

Posted on 05/01/2018 7:34:21 AM PDT by WisconsinRep

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden downplayed on Tuesday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's dramatic presentation in which he accused Iran of "brazenly lying" over its nuclear ambitions.

"To the best of my knowledge -- out of government, not getting the briefings -- I think this is fundamentally old news," Hayden told CNN's "New Day."

On Monday, Netanyahu gave a presentation in English in which he claimed Israel has evidence that Iranian officials were "brazenly lying" when they said Iran wasn't pursuing nuclear weapons and that the Islamic Republic is keeping an "atomic archive" at a secret compound.

Hayden told "New Day" the US has known many of Netanyahu's recently announced findings for more than a decade.

"We created a national intelligence estimate in 2007 that said that the Iranians had stopped the weaponization part of their program -- missiles still going on, centrifuges still spinning -- but the actual building of the weapon, that they had stopped in 2003," Hayden said.

He added that the trove of documents and digital records obtained by the Israelis gives "more detail to the plotline that we all knew, that we all agreed, existed."

Saw this anti-Trump black hat on CBS yesterday hawking his new book:

“The Assault on Intelligence -
American National Security in an Age of Lies”

RE: U.S. intelligence managed to track the Iraqi WMD convoy to Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.

So, why doesn’t the United nations, or Trump take Lebanon to task for this?

If true, This puts the lie to the “Saddam did not have WMD’s” meme and the “Bush lied, People Died” crowd.

RE: There really seems to be a strong under current of antisemitism here on FR lately.

I would say that it is more of DISAPPOINTMENT and DISILLUSIONMENT with the Iraq war and its aftermath than anything else.

There was a time when most FReepers supported Bush’s invasion of Iraq because they believed that Saddam was lying and DID indeed have WMD’s. I should know, I was on most threads in 2003 that were supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Israel was of course, one of the main cheer leaders for this invasion.

After the war and occupation dragged on for over a decade and no serious evidence of the WMD’s were found, many FReepers became disillusioned.

Add that to the 4,000 dead Americans and the fact that Iraq could not get its act together and allowed Iran to come in and influence their politics and you should understand why many FReepers are now wary of Israel’s drum beating.

One cannot help but feel that Israel is using us as another weapon to fight their battles.

Understand this and you will begin to know that this has little to do with Anti-Semitism.

Why do automatic believe the CIA? Some are partisan and many hate Israel being in the globalists’ planned Arab “region”.

I don’t think it is what you say. We are in this curious state where the Deep State is trying to use the US military as an arm of the Saudis to punish their Shiite enemies. So some get their ire up when Israel puts the same pressure on the US to deal with Iran or Syria.

I simply think that Israel is in a tough place. If they act on Iran or Syria they get their hand slapped by the international community, so they prefer the US take leadership on it.

Personally the US needs to distance itself from supporting any war over there. If the Israel’s want to act all the power to them. Heck the US can even provide additional funding and resources.
