primarily because we don't have a functioning gov't. - And we don't need another intelligence report to know that lamentable fact.

It's not functioning towards fascism, to your lament, but it is functioning. Go to Germany where you belong.

Iran is working on the bomb covertly,why else would they need nuclear plants when they have one of the largest oil supplies in the world? If they wanted to produce cheap energy for electricity why not develope Solar engery since Iran is primarily a desert and has alot of sun? Iran will develope the nuke bomb and it will use the threat of using it to hold the moderate Arab ?Muslim Nations in the Mid East hostage and force them to do their bidding! In short it will use the threat of the bomb to undermine the entire middle east and to destroy any chance we have at peace in this area!

Your signature explains your respect for the Olmert regime (which is thankfully almost over). It would head us for anarchy under Islamist rule

Perhaps the US has decided it can live with a Nuclear armed Iran. It can hardly say that so instead its decided on the tack of saying that they got the assessment wrong. More over it may be in US interest to take this position. Lets be honest Bush would like to extract him self from the mess he has created. He seems to have cut a deal with the Saudis his closest friends. Historical precendents do exist when the US will sacrifice Israels security like in the 67 war when the US was passing IDF troup movements in the Sinia to the Egyptians. When push comes to shove you can only rely on your own. Thats been the experience of the Jewish world for the past 2000 years.

It's amazing how fast the Israeli Lobby is trying to reorganize and get America all started up for a new war with Iran. Yeah, right Iran will have a device by 2009, Syria in 2010, Saudi Arabia in 2011, Egypt in 2012 and did I forget Afghanistan? ...that one is coming in 2013. America, please bomb!

Most of this inteligence is obvious .. we all knew that Iran wants a bomb, Syria wants a war but Assad knows he will loose, Hizbollah are better armed than ever ( something the inteligence forgot to mentiion ) Right now there is not much that can be done about Iran because Israel doesnt have the physical capablity to do anything about Iran the way it could with Iraq the situation is differemt. The sanctions dont work Russia and China will make sure of that and the monkey has no desire to end the program voulentarily. Only the US have the ability to hit Iran because millitary action is the only thing that will have an effect and with an ellection round the corner the US doesnt want to create more problems in the region Bush can walk leave the next prpesident to clear up the mess. Syria might be getting new weapons but they dont know how to use them effectivly .. Goliath was well protected, he had the best weapons but David knew his weakness and defeated him with a simple catapult. We know Syrias weakness is they buy the toys but dont learn how to use them properly. As for HIzbullah the inteligence boys didnt seem to report on the fact that Hizbillah now have more weapons than they did before the war and when they use them isnt the issue they have the ability to use them. Hamas might be hurting and they are letting other groups do the dirty work right now so they caan try look respectable but they are the same as they allways have been, no peace till Israel is destroyed, no 2 state solution we will stick out the bad times and not surrender our idiology and eventualy we will win as long as we stick to what we want.

Look, Israel has pulled us into enough BS in your region. When the Zionists were able to convince the brits of the need for "an Islamic" state you never intended to play nice with the Arabs over there. I wonder how it would feel to you if somebody came in and said "we need a XYZ state" and took a piece of Israel and essentially forced you out, you wouldn't fight back? You people terrorized the Arabs and forced them out of their villages very early on. You took advantage of the poor and bought up all of the land from them while the brits were supposed to be overseeing everything. You were told not to bring refugees in, yet you did anyway, You are breeeding terrorism by holding the Pal people down and forcing them to live in camps. You don't the the Red Cross in, you build in Arab territory and don't allow Arabs to frequent the establishment / territory you build on in ARAB land - these things are not bombs, no, they are passive aggressive attacks that keep people ticked off, hence you have suicide bombers. You don't see Pal's with tanks, shock and awe, no, they have to blow themselves up thats how desperate and angry they are. Stop your illegal occupation and quit pretending to the rest of the world that you are playing nice when your not. Leave us out of your crap and take care of your own mess.
