US report: Iran weapons program halted since 2003

Article


In its latest National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), Iran: Nuclear intentions and capabilities, the US National Intelligence Council judges "with high confidence" ...

Translation : We think. Maybe.


...that Tehran halted its nuclear weapons programme in the third quarter of 2003 and is also confident that it has not to date restarted it. The halt appears to have been in response to increasing international scrutiny and pressure,

Translation : They stopped because the US started talking nasty and MADE them stop. The rest of the international community could'nt fight a war against Canada without US help.

but the country appears to be keeping the nuclear option open, the authors conclude.

Translation : But they're still trying to get something nuclear started.

Acknowledging that it is not known whether Iran intends to develop nuclear weapons in the future,

But you do know. He's publically announcing "DEATH TO THE ISRAELI'S" at every opportunity, and how they will be cleansed by fire. From the lips of the president of Iran himself , on the news and everything. Or does that not count ?


the report assesses it as possible, but unlikely, that Iran could be
technically capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium (HEU) for a weapon by late 2009, although a date after 2013 would be probably be more realistic.


Translation : Making Nukes are hard, they're gonna need more time.


Difficulty One :
It took me half an hour to find quotes from the intelligence estimate. Who buried it all so deep ? I don't like to talk about conspiracy theories, but those articles vanished really really quickly and none of the new ones actually have any quotes in them, they all just make Bush out to be a liar.

Difficutly Two :
Every yammer head and the dog is announcing what a great victory this is for Iran over Bush. Not america , but president Bush. Excuse me ? These idiots are not capable of making nukes BECAUSE Bush has been putting pressure on them since the beginning. And instead of congradulating him for a job well done you're hounding him for harrassing these "innocent" (DEATH TO ALL ISRAELI PIG DOG MONKEYS !) Iranians ?

And what do you think of the very popular view by a leading Israeli analyst Obadiah Shoher? He argues (here, for example, www. samsonblinded.org/blog/america-arranges-a-peace-deal-with-iran.htm ) that the Bush Administration made a deal with Iran: nuclear program in exchange for curtailing the Iranian support for Iraqi terrorists. His story seems plausible, isn't it?
