1. Bad source

Don't fool yourself John Nepro. Read this http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=1158 or maybe you are on Ahmedinejad's payroll
2. when was the last time US intelligence was any accurate?!!

3. Neyshabour in Khorassan getting 140k
alan ,   frisco   (04.17.06)
Negroponte did not mention Neyshabour where former Russkies are putting in up to 140k centrifuges which is about 1000 times more than Iran claims to be operating now. see debka.com/article.php?aid=1158 So the Debka estimate is they will be making bombs by the end of the year, maybe five bombs a year. Which is four years earlier than Negroponte's statement. Now is a time of smoke and mirrors. The admin with Negroponte's baloon wishes to throw cold water on all notions of attacking Iran until after the election in November. The press will not question the very misleading statements of Negroponte who, one would hope, knows much more than he is telling Time Magazine. Those who hate the war in Iraq will not even burp at this news about Iran's nukes. Who is he kidding.

Glad to see that US Sources meet mine. Look at previous posts... Now, the fact that this information comes out from US Sources DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY FROM US SOURCES !!! Iran is excellent in providing propraganda.....and we are excellent at believing it . Remember why nuclear bombs were last used against Japan....and not since...... Show us some brain !!!
6. lol
John ,   NZ   (04.17.06)
with statements like that from a US top man, Ahmedinejad is lol his S off.
7. Jon NZ: wake up to real sources
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.17.06)
Negroponte is a lot more credible, a direct internal source - than some Debka editors who only rely on many sources that are oftern wrong - and have failed many times Now Negroponte is at the source NOT Debka
8. Bunnie Meyer : How is the land of Fruits + Nuts today
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.17.06)
9. 6 John surely a director of Nat. Intel has more reliable
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.17.06)
sources than any editor of Debka in fact they would love to have their hands on Ponte's info - but don't habe the resources Wake up !
10. Intelligence Far Off Assessement
Brod ,   Marshall, USA   (04.19.06)
Only a person who has been sleeping at the helm would think that Iran nuke is far off. The other explanation is to allay Western preparedness and allow Iran to complete their nukes so that they can shower Israel with a mushroom cloud. Israel has to rely on their own current Intelligence assessment and not repeat the mistakes of Intelligence failure prior to The Yom Kippur War.
11. So, lets sit idly by and wait....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (04.20.06)
until they actually have the bomb and then act when it's too late??? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! Iran needs to either overthrow this evil regime or the US and Israel will do it for them. Like other Muslims, Iran has a loud bark, but when you hit them they turn and run with their tails between their legs...we have seen this may times.
