ANALYSIS: Iran laughing at U.S. lack of nuclear intelligence
Haaretz ^ | 04DEC07 | Amir Oren

Posted on 12/04/2007 2:52:48 AM PST by familyop

The noise that was heard last night in Tehran, according to credible reports, was a hearty Persian laugh after looking at the U.S. intelligence's website. The unclassified document that director of National Intelligence, Adm. Mike McConnell published, titled "Iran: Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities," as a laundered version that faithfully represents the greatest secrets collected by the CIA and the other U.S. intelligence services, can appropriately be called "much evaluation on no intelligence."

"The CIA is so angry with Bush, it seems, that it is ready to go to great lengths in order to help another president"

The more I learn about the various government "service" agencies, the more they sound like a bunch of children.

...not to mention the way that they shoot their special interest selves in the feet. I hope that our President ignores the likely whispered, implied threats from the traitors and fires them all.

I hate to admit it, but if I wasn’t close to crying, I would be laughing too.

Ye GODS what a Charlie-Fox.

I guess if they stopped their nuke project in ‘03, they must have had the same response to US boots on the ground in Iraq that Libya did when Quaddafy stopped his program. “Never have so many owed so much to so few.”

“The CIA is so angry with Bush, it seems, that it is ready to go to great lengths in order to help another president”. I don’t know if they’re out to help any other president as much as they try to undermine the one we have. Frightening. I do not buy this latest NIE. The process is polluted.

CIA... the guys that failed us when we needed them most. How do you trust a thing that they say... they give you intel... and when that intel is faulty... they blame the President!

GWB should have cleaned all the Clintonistas out of the house in February 2001. Too late in the day to do anything now. I hope we get a Pubbie in November 2008 who will have learned from GWB’s biggest mistake.

Can’t say I wouldn’t laugh either.

Just yesterday we were saying that Iran haulted their nuke program in 03. LOL.
