The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) is a friend or foe politically depending on whose assumptions seem to be validated at the time of its release. The latest NIE release is reporting that Iran has not sought to make nuclear weapons since 2003.
Now obviously I am light years from being an Intelligence expert but here is the immediate picture that came to mind.
We are weeks away from 2008. The NIE says according to the data they have collected Iran has not been actively building a program toward nuclear Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) since 2003. So the NIE is saying the Israeli and American Intelligence deductions that contradict that assessment has been wrong for nearly five years. If you are just an every day American voter as my self, does something seem off about the Estimate of Intelligence gathering toward Iran?
For nearly five years Iran has upgraded its missile program for long range usage combined with a uranium enrichment program that could produce weapons grade uranium. And now the NIE is saying Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program since 2003.
Somebody’s screw is loose somewhere. All of Iran’s saber rattling toward the US and Israel, particularly proclaiming Israel will shortly be removed from the map; and the NIE says there is no nuclear weapons program in Iran? Surely the NIE did not think seriously that Ahmadinejad’s mystical beliefs in the lost Imam returning as the Mahdi was going to wipe Israel off the map. Or perhaps the NIE believes that Iran, Syria, Iraqi Shi’ites, Hezbollah Shi’ites and a Hamas coalition murdering terrorists will combine to eradicate Israel in conventional warfare?
Or maybe the NIE just skimmed over the IDF attack in Syria that blew apart a plant that was assembling nuclear warheads with the aid of North Korea (and undoubtedly the money of Iran) in September 2007.
Like I have said I am no Intelligence expert; however the information that has been made available to the public through the Leftist MSM and alternative Media still adds up to not trusting Iran on nuclear aspirations.
