White House Dismisses Iran Report
11.20.06 (5:27 pm)   [edit]

The White House dismissed a classified CIA draft assessment that found no evidence of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program.

This should sound sort of familiar to you.  Can you recall other instances where this administration disregarded certain reports of weapons of mass destruction?  If you can't, allow me to refresh your memory.  The reason our president sold the United States the war in Iraq was due to "hard evidence" that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction.  Of course, none of these so called weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq and nor will they ever be.

The only difference between these two cases is that the one dealing with Iraq, our intelligence was inaccurate (or at least that is what the president is claiming).  Pertaining with the current situation with Iran, our intelligence is correct only that the White House is choosing not to listen to it.

All I have to say about all of this is let's just hope this administration doesn't make another mistake like they did in Iraq.  The whole idea of history is so you learn from it.  I hope this administration learned from their past mistake.  They really need to get this one right for all of our sakes before rushing off to fight another pointless war.

I think it's important for everyone to learn from Iraq.

Now, I'm going to preface this by saying that Saddam was funding suicide bombers, throwing weapons inspectors out of his country and consistently making it very apparent that he didn't want the UN in there looking for evidence of his demolishment of the weapons. Fact is though, everyone thought he had the weapons. The intelligence committee thought so too and they saw the same intelligence that the administration saw. So, EVERYONE should learn from mistakes that were made leading up to the war in Iraq.

Do you have a link to the story that states that the White House overlooked this? That would be a good thing to see. I can find links stating that aliens are parked outside of a trailer park in Oklahoma but if it's from some partisan blog you have to look at it with a grain of salt.

All I know is that Iran has stated that they have a nuclear program. They say that it's for peaceful reasons and purposes and yet they continue to say that Israel's demise is coming.

If you think that Iran or Syria or other countries in that region can be trusted with Nuclear weapons, then you are making a huge mistake.
