The State Dept., has gone on record saying their job as diplomats is NOT to promote or encourage any ACTION but to promote discussion and only discussion. This says it all.

The NIE has done just that.

Thanks for the ping

Scary stuff.

Here's some possibilities that may have changed some of the thinking of various people.

1. Through good intelligence gathering, and "boots on the ground," sufficient information has been gathered to document that there is no current attempt to build a nuke.

2. Someone may have been captured, or defected, who was able to give credible information about the current state of Iran's nuclear program.

3. Recently there was an urgent request to reconfigure the stealth bombers to carry deep penetrating bunker busters. That, and the recent attack by Israel on the Syrian nuclear facility may have been a wake up call to certain Iranians.
