Yep, all three articles seem to suggest that the Bush administration is forcing a Arab/Israeli initiated military confrontation with Iran. A couple of other interesting bits of information seem to support this assessment.

U.S. Set to Offer Huge Arms Deal to Saudi Arabia

And

Russian navy to start sorties in Mediterranean

Very interesting read, now check this one out, seems James Lewis isnt the only one thinking along those lines…

Another? Max Boot in today’s WSJ argues for increased pressure on Arab gulf states to confront Iran themselves. He doesn’t specifically connect this with the NIE report, but it’s of a theme.

Gut it like a fish.

I think a valid question to ask the GOP presidential candidates might be how they intend to take out the CIA and NIE trash who oppose their administration agendas, if elected.

Yes!

Then again, maybe it won’t much matter, as MSM will ignore it.

The least this Pres. could do is can every single Clinton appointee and hire before he leaves office.

Hirees would be a problem. A big one.

Better seven years late than never.

In between firings he could have a fireside chat with America and do like Bolton and debunk this FIE point by point.

If this is true, it’s mutiny. Either way, I think a mass firing at the offices of our National Intelligence agencies is in order. Enough of their insubordination and dishonorable activities (i.e. all the leaks). Enough.

I am joking, of course but there needs to be an investigation and outing. A name that comes to mind is Mark Furman. he is an investigator.

TheSitRep on December 7, 2007 at 11:17 PM

I added that to Zorro’s post.

Just to be clear.

TheSitRep on December 7, 2007 at 11:48 PM

To be crystal clear, if the intelligence community was indeed threatening to release the NIE without the President’s approval my opinion of that action would be that that’s mutiny. The phrase “mass firing” should be understood to mean mass dismissals. The SiteRep added the word “squad” to my comment without noting the addition. I am dismayed. Please do not do that again.

Bryan-

James Lewis writing at American Thinker posits a high-stakes drama in regard to this:

What if the NIE is a Bush gambit?

It makes for some interesting reading.

It makes for some interesting reading.

I recall reading that Tom Fingar, Vann Van Diepen, and Kenneth Brill are notorious for being anti-Bush administration foreign policy. In fact, I believe Colin Powell fired Brill from the State Department and he was rehired for his present position by John Negroponte.

Bush and those of us who support his anti-terrorism efforts are begging these loony leftists, “Please, let us save your asses, and the millions of innocents around the world these people want to kill.” And we’re doing a damn good job of it, despite the constant treasonous efforts of POS’s like those CIA partisan democrat hacks who released this bogus report. Maybe it’s just time to say screw it, let the genocidal beasts loose, and ask the last liberal standing, “Do you get it now? Do you fuck*** understand now?”

Is it wrong to feel that way?

A la the Dems logic, isn’t that the opinion that we should be trusting?

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Impeachment? The purpose of this NIE was to create an environment for impeachment:

If our elected commander-in-chief deems preemptive action is needed against Iran, the Democrat Socialist-controlled House will impeach him and the Democrat Socialist-controlled Senate will convict him.

He could have easily sat on it for a couple of weeks and spun it as time he needed to decide a National Strategy because the intelligence has changed…

But this was pretty much IMMEDIATELY declassified… before the administration could get up to speed and make decisions as of how to proceed with a MAJOR national policy decision.

The Administration did not even apparently get a chance to talk to Congress about it… Even though Congress was partly briefed, they got blindsided by the bombshell too.

Whole thing needs investigation.

It looks like a brazen threat to the republic…

Looks that way to me too. This conflict’s headed for the streets. The country’s in deep trouble.

Congressmen rooting for the enemy to win in Iraq and for legitimization of illegal alien criminals for political gain.

A frustrated “victim” wipes out 8 at a Nebraska shopping mall to send a “message”.

A movie is made (Redacted) sure to inspire riots from unstable Muslim psychopaths.

A intelligent report, ill-timed, is sent out by agencies filled with Clinton worshipers and other traitors simply because those agencies hate Bush more than they love their country.

What is the COMMON DENOMINATOR? A socialistic educational system that teaches that the USA (and, to some degree, Israel) is responsible for all the misery in the world.
