Western intelligence sees “small sign of wavering” from Iran on nuke policy
…The European Union on Friday provisionally approved substantial new economic sanctions against Tehran.
Despite stalled talks between Iran and a six-country alliance of Western powers, including the United States, a Western diplomatic source said contact with Iranian officials has been sustained consistently, including during the months since the summer.
The official told NBC News there are some signs of “tension within the Iranian regime” over the issue.
“We’ve picked up some small signs of wavering on the nuclear policy,” the official, who did not want to be named, said. “But I don’t want to exaggerate it.”

Yeah, they’ll make it look like they’re complying, then when things get relaxed, they’ll go back to doing what they were before. Then its another decade of trying to re-enact things that got relaxed…endless cycle with Iran the winner.

Pfft. Bringing it up is exaggerating its importance.

Seriously..if this is the quality of people who have infiltrated our intelligence organizations, we are in deep deep trouble.

I question the timing.
Ayatollah is sending a signal that he wants 0bama to win the election by making us think the sanctions are working.

Heck, this has nothing to do with Iran and has everything to do with NBC putting something helpful to Obama on American radar. This crappy little story would be page 2 in European papers, yet NBC is touting it.
Meanwhile you have to go to Brit news organizations to get significant US news, ’cause it’s all bad for Barry and NBC ignores it.

Western intelligence sees “small video protest” in Benghazi.
Oh..wait….I’ve just been handed a memo…I quote: “On even numbered days in odd numbered months, western intel is perfect. On odd numbered days in even numbered months western intel is trying to undermine the goodness of Barack Obama”

Western intelligence ?
Oxymoron .

This is the same Western Intelligence, according to Biden, that fed a cock and bull story about a video causing a protest (which never ocurred) in Benghazi, whose participants just happened to be carrying RPGs and heavy weapons?
The same Western Intelligence who’s upper level management (James Clapper) thought the Muslim Brotherhood was a secular organization?
The same Western Intelligence we’re relying on to let us know when Iran has a nuclear-weaponized capability?

I still agree with Joe Biden on that one point. He DID have bad intelligence. He still does.
