Addendum: I want to put this snippet from the recent NY Times piece at the top because it underlines what my points have been over the last few days. The post below outlines why we are right to question this sudden change in view on Iran. But my other recurring point is this NIE was […]

I am starting to wonder if this NIE release wasn’t some form of a Trojan Horse filled with rope for the far left and the Iranians to hang themselves. First off, the NIE is clear – they don’t know if Iran has a nuke program up and running, all they know it they had one […]

The Washington Post is out this morning with story quoting intel officials who admit that the conclusion that Iran’s nuclear weapons program is still suspended was not a consensus view (hence the low confidence it was given), but was in fact challenged by key elements of the intelligence community: McConnell said his objective in preparing […]

Wild Speculation Alert: I have listed a lot of coincidental and circumstantial evidence in this post folks. I feel compelled to warn everyone when I see links to this NIE and Valerie Plame! It seems the NIE was NOT a consensus view of the US Intelligence Community but a hack job by some folks with […]

I am wondering if the same mental fog and political ambition that blinded the Intel Community to 9-11 (and the fall of the Soviet Union, the WMDs Iraq (both the nukes NOT being there in the 1990’s and then the nukes being there in 2002) is at work again in this questionably timed leak of […]

The NY Times and some of our Intelligence outfits are now calling Iran’s Dear Leader Ahmedinejad a liar for claiming his nuclear processing efforts have been successful and on going. Not long ago this is what Ahmedinejad announced to the world: Iran has achieved a landmark with 3,000 centrifuges […]

Joe Biden – sometimes known as “the mouth” – has made a fool’s statement that could easily be misread by the madmen running Tehran and kick off attacks on US forces in Iraq or even Israel: “The president has […]

Well if this is all true then there is going to be some serious rewriting of the “conventional wisdom” when it comes to Saddam’s WMDs: Saddam Hussein’s secret documents are measured by the shelf-mile and stored inside a secure but dusty facility near U.S. Central Command Headquarters in Doha, Qatar, and in several subsidiary sites.

Not long ago I researched the production capability 3,000 gas centrifuges would provide Iran on its path to a nuclear weapon. The results of my research were unnerving: But the point is the 3,000 centrifuge mark just achieved by Iran can produce 30 kg per year, which is sufficient for 2 small nuclear weapons. This […]

The news that Iran has reached a frightening milestone in its nuclear program means the world, and the US and Israel in particular, are going to have do something to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons sooner than anyone would like: Iran has achieved a landmark with 3,000 centrifuges fully working in its controversial uranium […]
