"US spy agencies have stood firm in their conclusion that while Iran may ultimately want a bomb, the country halted work on weapons design in 2003 and probably has not restarted that effort - a judgment first made public in a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate."
PLEASE tell me you are NOT GOING TO FALL FOR IT AGAIN!!!!!!
"Intelligence dispute brews over state of Iran’s nuclear plans; US, European, Israeli analysts differ on timing" by William J. Broad and Mark Mazzetti, New York Times | September 29, 2009
WASHINGTON - When President Obama stood last week with the leaders of Britain and France to denounce Iran’s construction of a secret nuclear plant, the Western powers all appeared to be on the same page.
Behind their show of unity about Iran’s clandestine efforts to manufacture nuclear fuel, however, is a continuing debate among US, European, and Israeli spies about a separate component of Iran’s nuclear program: its clandestine efforts to design a nuclear warhead.
The Israelis, who have delivered veiled threats of a military strike, say they believe that Iran has restarted these “weaponization’’ efforts, which would mark a final step in building a nuclear weapon.
Well, since EVERYONE KNOWS the ISRAELIS LIE, we can dismiss those claims.
The Germans say they believe that the weapons work was never halted. The French have strongly suggested that independent international inspectors have more information about the weapons work than they have made public. In closed-door discussions, US spy agencies have stood firm in their conclusion that while Iran may ultimately want a bomb, the country halted work on weapons design in 2003 and probably has not restarted that effort - a judgment first made public in a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate.
The debate, in essence, is a mirror image of the intelligence dispute on the eve of the Iraq war. This time, US spy agencies are delivering more cautious assessments about Iran’s clandestine programs than their Western European counterparts....
So Europe has its head further up Zionist ass than we do, huh?
This distinction has huge political consequences. If Obama can convince Israel that the exposure of the Qom facility has dealt a significant setback to the Iranian effort, he may buy some time from the Israelis....
Ummmmmm, WHY does the AMERICAN PRESIDENT have to CONVINCE ISRAEL of ANYTHING? He is SUPPOSED TO WORK for US, not THEM!!!!
Disagreeing with the Americans, Israeli intelligence officials say they believe Iran restarted weapons design work in 2005 on the direct orders of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader. The Americans counter that the Israeli case is flimsy and circumstantial and that the Israelis cannot document their claim.
Well, I will give the lying bastards one thing -- they are consistent!
Can't document their claims, huh?
German intelligence officials take an even harder line against Iran. They say the weapons work never stopped, a judgment made public last year in a court case involving shipments of banned technology to Tehran. In recent interviews, German intelligence agencies declined to comment further.
Obviously, the Zionist have controlled the Germans for a long time -- except for that little fella who told the truth and was demonized by the Zionist gatekeepers of history.

Ever hear of Lazar Kaganovich or Genrikh Yagoda? Didn't think so.
Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, the former head of intelligence at the Department of Energy and a nuclear expert who worked for the CIA, said that the apparent differences of opinion among the world’s intelligence agencies might boil down to differences of interpretative style, or what he called “tradecraft.’’
“It’s often tradecraft that gets us bollixed up,’’ he said in an interview. “It comes down to interpreting the same data in different ways, in looking at the same information and coming up with different conclusions.’’
And the MILLIONS DEAD as a RESULT of the LYING, sir?!!
Some Israeli and Europeans officials say the Americans are being overly cautious, having been stung by the Iraq intelligence debacle. The Americans deny this, insisting they are open minded....
