>>>I see headlines saying that this NIE contradicts or repudiates Bush, I guarantee you those words are not in the report, but are the spin of the news services.<<<


Tell me with a straight face that what you've heard from Bush & Cheney concerning Iran gave you the impression that Iran could have a nuclear weapon no sooner than the middle of next decade but that the weapons program has been shut down since 2003.


"It is also stood in marked contrast to Mr. Bush's rhetoric on Iran. At his last news conference on Oct. 17, for instance, he said that people "interested in avoiding World War III" should be working to prevent Iran from having the knowledge needed to make a nuclear weapon."
