Despite Knowing Iran Halted Nuke Program, W.H. Still Warned Of False Threat
thinkprogress.org — As The Washington Monthly ’s Kevin Drum notes, the NIE’s “basic parameters were almost certainly common knowledge in the White House” at least by last year, when the document was finished. Yet even in the past two months, the administration has continued to push its faulty, inflammatory rhetoric and claim that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.

WTF? While admitting that they have been wrong & therefore lying & warmongering for two years against Iran, they also say that they were right to do so?! That's called double-speak in my book. Also, the White House said at the same time that they are going to be even tougher on Iran! WTF? So, despite the facts, aka reality, the Executive Branch of warmongering neocons not only will not apologize/admit being wrong again about WMDs, but they want to stay on their course which will likely lead to another illegal, immoral, & unnecessary war with a oil rich country.
This is BIG breaking news because the NIE report was just released, as well as it is amazing that our 16 intel agencies are now in agreement that we have been wrong for demonizing Iran for the past two years. Aka, Bush, Cheney, Israel, & the other neocon warmongers have serious egg on their face as of today! They have been lying all along & its now proven as of today!
I say, throw the bums out! (or worse) - principle, on 12/04/2007, -0/+2The status of Bush’s latest plans…
Plan A: start a war with Iran (faltering)
Plan B: overthrow Musharraf in favor of the Islamic extremists (failed)
Plan C: “terrorist” attack on US soil (unknown)
From the latest NIE it is abundantly clear that the intelligence community will no longer play the role of a pinata. Based on this, we can only hope that Plan C is now facing an insurmountable resistance from our military, and intelligence. - Calann, on 12/04/2007, -0/+2You would think that everyone would be happy to learn that a potentially threatening country is not currently perusing nuclear weapons. Yet Republicans seem upset with the news.
Why would anyone not be happy to find out Iran is not building nukes, unless they are just looking for a reason for another war? - StepCousin, on 12/05/2007, -1/+1Let me get this straight. U.S. intelligence is accurate now, but their intel concerning WMD's in Iraq was false.
Why do you wackos believe them now? Is it because it fits your anti-Bush political agenda?- StepCousin, on 12/05/2007, -1/+1Good point, dude. You know what would be really funny? What if Bush supported the intel.

- StepCousin, on 12/05/2007, -1/+1Ohhhhhhh *****. Now I understand. I guess Bush is going to force Israel to make the first move.....actually kind of slick if you ask me.

- Balt, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1This just goes to show you that all their "intel" is false. They know it's false but they continually force it not only on us but on other countries with the intent to get a large coalition against the enemy How are we supposed to believe anything they tell us when they have all this info in their hands but instead lie to their country and the world just to push their agenda through.
