For Iran, the NIE Report Is the Gift that Keeps On Giving
The Iranians have “not been pursuing nuclear weapons since 2003″ in about the same way that BJ Clinton did “not have sex with that woman.”
If one defines “nuclear weapons” strictly as ballistic missile warheads, similar to BJC’s definition of “sex” being strictly intercourse, then there’s a possibility the NIE may have some credibility.
But . . . Exactly what about modern Iranian history would cause anyone with a clue to believe that Iran would have the balls to engage in linear battle with missiles and such?
These people used a bunch of clueless college kids to assault our embassy, they used 10-12 year olds to fight in their war with Iraq, they fund proxy groups like hizzbullah and the insurgents in Iraq, why would they come out and fight like men when they have always hid behind their women and children?
When Iran tries to “wipe Israel off the map,” it won’t be with a theater ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead. It will be with several low-yield “dirty bombs” smuggled in to key locations in Israel and simultaneously detonated when and where they can kill the most people. Their “peaceful” nuclear enrichment program is more than capable of being used for hundreds of dirty bombs.
As usual, even the tiniest shred of context is more tha sufficient to discredit the leftist tripe that keeps coming out of the CIA.
