I find it interesting why the CIA (central incompetence agency) has not yet been dismantled and replaced with a more competent and less political intelligence agency.

I find it interesting why we elect into office the politicians that we do.

I find it interesting why these pea brained politicians and traitors still have oversight over our intelligence agencies.

I find it interesting why after 911 the governments of Syria and Iran have not yet been toppled.

The way I see it, America is been destroyed from within. Because of greed and nothing else, our politicians are playing a major role in America’s destruction. I used to think that America was too strong to ever fall, not anymore.

For those of us who think things are bad now, just wait until the dimwits take over.

I admit I haven’t paid much attention to this nor to the debate about Bush’s foreign policy. To me it was simple. The program supposedly was suspended in 2003. There was one major event in the area in 2003 as well, more to the west. In my little head I just assumed one was related to the other.

Duh. Iran’s own president has come out on REPEATEDLY over the past several years, as recently as this year, and disclosed that they ARE developing a nuclear weapon and had every right to do so.

Where does THAT fit into the NIE?

I was coming up with a theory about this, but ugly facts got in the way. Okay, US Intelligence got information in August. Is that correct? I was thinking that the Israeli raid on the Syrian nuclear (bomb?) plant was in July, but it was on September 6th. So, I can’t tie the breakout of that intelligence to the Israeli raid. Oh well.

“If the intelligence is right this time...”

This time??? Really? Just because nothing verifiable is ‘possible’ in assessing their nuclear readiness doesn’t mean that they are squeaky clean in their plans and policies for WMD’s.

Does the UN think the everyone in the world is as gullible as their own officials?

National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley explained a day earlier. “The intelligence community says they do not know whether Iran currently intends to develop nuclear weapons,”
