"The following NIE statements are nonsense? "If left unchecked, it probably will have a nuclear weapon during this decade." "In the view of most agencies, Baghdad is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program." The National Intelligence Estimate contains a section that specifies the level of confidence that the intelligence community has in the various judgments included in the report. In the NIE on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, the community had high confidence in the conclusion that Iraq is continuing and in some areas expanding its chemical, biological, nuclear and missile programs contrary to U.N. resolutions. The intelligence community also had high confidence in the judgment that, and I quote, "Iraq could make a nuclear weapon in months to a year once it acquires sufficient weapons-grade fissile material,". Yes, nonsense simply because the statements are wife beating statements. They are based on a false presumption, that being that Saddam had CBN programs that were capable of CBN production. Have any such programs/factories been uncovered?
