It just STUNS me that they would release such drivel. The only thing useful in the CIA is the paramilitary folks and I say that only because of the likes of Mike Spann.

I can’t understand why the release of 2003 “intelligence” in 2007 is even worth the price of the ink!!

Does anybody think that the Iranians have just been sitting on their duffs for 4 years??? Does anybody think that we’ve got nothing but good friends (although some of them kill our soldiers) in Iran now???

The whole NIE thing is about as useful as a 2003 weather report.

Even though this “whole story” over the last days isn’t poll-survey-study related I still don’t believe any of it and will decline indefintaley on commenting about it.

Fog-Of-War filter on.

That Bolton thinks just like me.
Except he is eloquent, intelligent, educated, and he has a moustache.

Sorry, the ’stache is a deal-breaker.

The ’stache is the source of his power. John Bolton is merely a vehicle so that it may attend meetings and do interviews.

I heard John Bolton speak at Amherst College on Monday. I was really impressed with him, especially his handling of the moonbat protesters.

John Bolton takes on the NIE…

John Bolton once again does an excellent job, here in focusing on how the NIE’s report on Iran is flawed (Hat tip: Hot Air):…

The more Bolton talks the more I want him for Fred’s Veep. That would be an excellent combination.

Make it so.

Thanks for that link, I always enjoy listening to him speak. This country needs him and more like him.

The old sheriff from “Misery”, only the axe would’ve shattered on impact with John Bolton.

(redo, sorry)

The NIE (National Intelligence Estimate) has been renamed the NIMPLACE (National Intelligence Maybe, Possibly, Likely, Actually we don’t know, Cover our ass, Estimate).

The hard part to making a Saturday-Night-Special Nuke is refining U-235.

Forget hard stuff like H-bombs, or the NORKs failed attempt at a Pu H-bomb trigger device.

With enough U-235, a retarded monkey can make a simple Hiroshima-grade A-Bomb. Russian tac-nukes consist of a small black-powder cannon that shoots a cone of U-235 into the side of a U-235 sphere. Brutally simple … and yes, they work just fine.

Iran merely possessing thousands of working Uranium Enrichment centrifuges should scare the daylights out of any sane person.
