WASHINGTON — Even as the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said in a new report Friday that Iran had accelerated its uranium enrichment program, American intelligence analysts continue to believe that there is no hard evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear bomb.

Recent assessments by American spy agencies are broadly consistent with a 2007 intelligence finding that concluded that Iran had abandoned its nuclear weapons program years earlier, according to current and former American officials. The officials said that assessment was largely reaffirmed in a 2010 National Intelligence Estimate, and that it remains the consensus view of America’s 16 intelligence agencies.

Its diffiuclt to be humble about our leader.

So what. They're building a bomb, Fox says so. I don't buy our stupid intelligence agencies, they blame America first. Losers

And Rick Santorum rolls his eyes again.

Bump, thank you! +rep

When I posted a story with the Panetta slip about this on another board, I was told that Panetta "misspoke" and things liek that by neocons and even liberals, because "everyone" knows Iran is pursuing them. I thoroughly enjoyed throwing that back in their face.

Propaganda is more powerful than truth ... This story will be buried, and the public will continue to be conditioned.

I don't know, most of the people i talked to is not buying this garbage.

I still think it would be easier for Iran to buy a nuclear device or the components of one on the black market than to build their own, and I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't done this.

It's WMDs are everywhere all over again.

And Rick Santorum rolls his eyes again.

But...

But...

But...

I wanna start WWIII - Sick Santorum. Satan is out there somewhere.

That's always my argument with warmongering Neo-cons and the misinformed. I tell them that Iran's Nukes are being safely stored with Iraq's WMD's.

I'm always surprised by how effective that point is......

The Israel first gang is going to hate this...

The neoconservatives use anything they can get their hands on.

- When they talk about Iran, they always say, "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he would wipe Israel off the face of the earth. We need to take him at his word."

Then, when Ron says, "OBL said why he attacked us." The neocons respond with, "Ron Paul is parodying the terrorists!"

- When there is intelligence that backs up their claim for military action around the world, they use it. But, when that same intelligence agency or department says the opposite, they ignore it and say things like, "they are a threat. There is no doubt."

This is what neocons do.

Oh, one more thing...

They also never fight themselves. They get deferments, then when they are in high office, they force the younger generation to fight their wars for them. Only then, they became tough.

What a joke.
