What Thomas Barnett (one of the Pols for Prose favorites) has to say about the Iranian NIE. Apparently he thinks this Bush gang might promote "abject and dishonest fearmongering". NAAH, "dishonesty" not possible from the gang that says the Dems were the reason for the quick Iraq War vote. >>"December 4, 2007 Iran takes route somewhere between Libya and Japan and Israel on bomb Iran, the new NIE says, stopped its weapons program in 2003 while continuing the enrichment with an eye to energy use. This is a huge blow to the White House case for "WWIII now or second Holocaust." You have to realize: if the National Intell Council releases this NIE now, then the Bush White House has had all this info for many months and is still pushing WWIII rhetoric. If that does not strike you as abject and dishonest fearmongering, then you're too far gone. Iran's choice is reasonably smart: talk big like Libya, stop short of weapons like Japan, but signal willingness to aggressively defend like Israel. I told you these guys are not stupid.
