Bush Officials Unhappy With CIA Iran Intelligence on Nuke Timeframe

Not just it'd be funny it weren't so tragic, but genuinely funny.

From US News ...

Some Bush administration officials are unhappy with the consensus intelligence community assessment that Iran could attain a weapons capability sometime between 2010 and 2015, based on assumptions about its ability to overcome technical problems. More-hawkish officials view the CIA, scorched by criticism over its exaggerated reports on Iraqi nuclear efforts, as timid on Iran, and Vice President Dick Cheney is said to have recently criticized the intelligence assessment in private as "too cautious."
I'm sure glad this isn't going to be handled anything like last time.

Next up, what about the Cheney family's private slush fund for Iran work?

3. The neo-con idiots must be stopped before they do it again.

Everywhere you turn politicians, generals and the press are pointing out that we can't possibly handle another invasion and even if we could it would be a stupid, unneccessary, illegal, immoral move likely to start WWIII. Yet these idiots keep rattling the sabers. What gives? These people need to be removed from power ASAP. They are truly deranged.

Peace,
