NIE Jujitsu, Bush Says Prove It

I am starting to wonder if this NIE release wasnt some form of a Trojan Horse filled with rope for the far left and the Iranians to hang themselves. First off, the NIE is clear - they dont know if Iran has a nuke program up and running, all they know it they had one in 2003 and stopped right after we swept Hussein out of power. We also know Israel, the IAEA and other nearby countries to Iran arent buying the spin of the NIE.
For the far left it has been an opportunity for the country to see just how crazy these folks are. They are so afraid Bush might react to a real threat by Iran that they would gladly let Iran arm itself while they hamstring (they think) the President. has gone so far as to fantasize the military would resist the order (and in essence commit treason and destroy the concept of civilian command in this country forever)
In the face of this NIE, a possibility that had once seemed remote that the uniformed military might resist carrying out an order for a self-destructive attack on Iran is suddenly more plausible.
From Moonbat to Fruitbat. When your reality is based on what Hollywood produces you get these kinds of silly fantasies. If the President orders a strike it will be carried out - this is so childishly naive. Which is why all the conspiracy nuts on the left miss the big point - what is holding Bush back now? Nothing. If all their fears were true (and they arent) Bush could order it now and declare Marshall Law and suspend elections and march everyone of to Bible school while the government listens in on everyones phone calls. What is stopping him? Nothing, except the fact all that silly hogwash is simply over-excited imaginations run amok.
So the far left is coming out and displaying their biggest weaknesses (national defense) to the American people, and now Iran is being called on to PROVE the NIE is factual!

So what about that Iran - explain why you hid the weapons program you had running into 2003? This will go down in history as a great political Jujitsu moment, when Bush turned the tables on everyone who said the world is saved, Iran is good, Bush is evil, he cant do anything. Bush just smiles, agrees and says prove it! What will Iran do now? Say no - they must if their program is up and running? What will the left do it Iran says no? Will they go so far to say to America trust these mad islamic extremists who have visions of destroying Israel and America, they wont build nukes - you should fear Bush instead!? Too funny and my hat is off to one crafty President- George W Bush. Dont EVER play poker with that man.

*******************Intro ************************
The latest assessment from the American intelligence community on Iran has been declassified, at least in part, and the directorate of national intelligence would have one believe that in 2003 "Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program". It's advancing a line that could be described with the word astounding if it didn't come from the same intelligence bureaucrats that so famously failed to foresee the attacks of September 11, 2001.
One doesn't have to be privy to our country's secret sources to know that this last statement strains credulity.
