Our serious foreign policy geniuses strike again

The same people who smeared Mohamed ElBaradei in 2002 over Iraq did the same in 2007 over Iran. They were dead wrong both times.

    Norman Podhoretz's "dark suspicion"

    But I entertain an even darker suspicion. It is that the intelligence community, which has for some years now been leaking material calculated to undermine George W. Bush, is doing it again. This time the purpose is to head off the possibility that the President may order air strikes on the Iranian nuclear installations. ~Norman Podhoretz

    So, as Nuke ‘em Norman sees it, this NIE is really a “conspiracy” by the pantywaists in our intelligence community to undermine our great leader Bush and his heroic efforts to save us from Islamofascism.

    Once you take away the immediate “fear” that these guys have been promoting for years, their arguments melt into a mush of macho conspiracy theories by people who have never been right about anything.
