I would hope that we are not that stupid...

I'm afraid we're. After Colin Powell weakness, we put Condi to run a viper's pit!

A viper pit cries for a Bolton to clean it up! Fingar should have gotten the finger a long time ago.

Thanks Ernest.
Its most dramatic conclusion -- that Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 2003 in response to international pressure -- is based on a single, unvetted source who provided information to a foreign intelligence service and has not been interviewed directly by the United States. Newsmax sources in Tehran believe that Washington has fallen for "a deliberate disinformation campaign" cooked up by the Revolutionary Guards, who laundered fake information and fed it to the United States through Revolutionary Guards intelligence officers posing as senior diplomats in Europe.

the professional intelligence community has been waging [war] against the elected civilian administration in Washington. They have opposed President Bush on nearly every major policy decision.

If a bunch of entrenched bureaucrats will run the foreign policy and compromise national security, what is the meaning of any election?

The will of the people is usurped by opposite party hacks at will.

this raises the question of how a couple of State Dept. hacks are allowed to so dominate the process of preparing the NIE

Not surprising to me. The RATS have spent years and years hatching this plan if they are not in control of the House, Senate and Presidency. These RATS are probably in the thousands that currently work right in this Administration. It would explain lots. The RATS are determined to destroy America as we once knew it, and they will stop at nothing.

More agenda disguised as intelligence. They’ve learned nothing since 9/11 just like they learned nothing from WTC 1.

Even the notoriously fragmented Israeli political establishment is united on this one. Survival has a way of doing that.

I just got this book from Amazon the other day. It looks like a good read all relating to this very subject. I haven't opened it yet. I just heard the interview of the author on the radio and decided to buy it:

I think so too, evidently our attack plans have been leaked, and the NIE is being rammed down our throats in order to antagonize us after the attack.

There is a bright spot though. Fred Thompson said that he’s very skeptical about the report! He said apparently since the report went out, that the report should be taken with a “dose of skepticism”. Then he explains why in more depth with this quote. I didn’t read what news outlet reported it though.

Fred’s comments came during his excellent interview on Charlie Rose yesterday. I haven’t seen a video or transcript posted yet.

Maybe I’ll see this differently after I read some of the thread, but I doubt it. What we have here are ruthless, rogue, resistance agents in our own intelligence/State Department, committing pure politicization of national security issues to feed false credibility to the party of the idiotic left... Democrats!!!

Strat-Sphere has some interesting comments on what Bush has done with this NIE:

Bush urges Iran to 'come clean' on nuclear work ( ie...prove the NIE is true )

I just finished the book “the Looming Tower” that detailed how the CIA did not give the FBI certain info prior to 9/11.

Clinton believed terrorism was a police (FBI) issue and not a war issue. He created the "wall" between the FBI and the CIA which blocked information from being shared. Gorlich, of the so-called "9-11 Commission", was one of the main people tasked with implementing this.

Some of that was also due to bureaucratic infighting.

In other words, “OK. Now prove it!”
