The NIE

Iran hasn't been a growing threat for 4 years? Blasphemy!

Welcome to the Free Republic attacking the messenger ride. Your brain must be this tiny to go on this ride.

Note the vehemence, destroying any pesky logic, like the question what does the State Department have to do with the National Intelligence Estimate:

TREASON at State
That be my guess. Infested with demorats and marxists.

Continuing down the well-worn track, you see McCarthyism tropes bolstered with anecdotal evidence:

The number of dyed in the wool liberal whackjobs I’ve encountered as ex-CIA agents is troubling.

Look out! Here come the "science." Please assume Uranium enrichment has no civilian applications to continue:

With 3,000 centrifuges running, they are up to something. And it won’t take until 2015 either.

Zero confidence in their report.

Some tired old media blaming on you right:

Now suppose this little game works and then Iran tests a functional nuke in a year or so. Who do you think will be blamed? The left will excorciate Bush for not destroying their nuclear facilities and for sitting around talking when action was needed. Bush needs to keep this NIE as 'exhibit A' in case this scenario occurs.

As an aside, we don't know what Israel will do yet if they think Iran is about to test a nuke.

Which brings us to the final attraction, an Israeli Wargasm:

This estimate virtually assures the world that Israel will act unilaterally...perhaps with nukes.

And on that note, please exit the ride. and rejoin the real world. Please?
