BREAKING NEWS: U.S. Report Says Iran Halted Nuclear Weapons Program in 2003

By: John Amato on Monday, December 3rd, 2007 at 10:45 AM - PST Cheney and Lieberman won’t be happy.

NY Times:

A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains on hold, contradicting an assessment two years ago that Tehran was working inexorably toward building a bomb.

The assessment, a National Intelligence Estimate that represents the consensus view of all 16 American spy agencies, states that Tehran’s ultimate intentions about gaining a nuclear weapon remain unclear, but that Iran’s “decisions are guided by a cost-benefit approach rather than a rush to a weapon irrespective of the political, economic and military costs.

Instead, the N.I.E. concludes it is more likely Iran could have a bomb by the early part to the middle of the next decade. The report states that the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research judges Iran is unlikely to achieve this goal before 2013, “because of foreseeable technical and programmatic problems.”…read on HERE

Matt Yglesias predicts what the reaction will be to it:

The only appropriate response to this is to do what we’ve done already with IAEA information on Iran, with IAEA information on Iraq, and with Intelligence and Research Bureau information on Iran: ignore it.

Islamofascism is on the march. Deniers and appears must be ignored. Here’s the declassified portions of the New Iran NIE about how the Iranian nuclear hype is mostly hype.

I’d assume William “the bloody” Kristol is in meetings all day—red veins popping out of his neck and yelling at the White House for letting this report see the light of day.

Keith Olbermann Countdown Special Comment: The NIE Reflects An “Unhinged, Irrational Chicken Little Of A President”

Crooks & Liars
December 6th, 2007

Quote:
We have either a president who is too dishonest to restrain himself from invoking World War III about Iran at least six weeks after he had to have known that the analogy would be fantastic, irresponsible hyperbole — or we have a president too transcendently stupid not to have asked — at what now appears to have been a series of opportunities to do so — whether the fairy tales he either created or was fed, were still even remotely plausible.

A pathological presidential liar, or an idiot-in-chief. It is the nightmare scenario of political science fiction: A critical juncture in our history and, contained in either answer, a president manifestly unfit to serve, and behind him in the vice presidency: an unapologetic war-monger who has long been seeing a world visible only to himself.
