The rulers of Iran are fanatical about getting their hands on a nuclear bomb. The writers of the NIE however, seemed to understand that giving that information to the Bush administration would cause another war so I believe that they decided to put off dealing with the Iranian bomb until someone more rational (not Cheney) was in charge.
Obama now probably has the real information in his hands which shows that the Iranians are closing in on nuclear capability. How he deals with this will be very difficult, but it will be a more rational response than anything that Cheney would come up with, and the intelligence world knows it.
LOL. Interesting conspiracy theory...
Iran is fanatical about getting nukes, but yet all 16 of the intel agencies that drafted the NIE came together and lied because Bush/Cheney are even more fanatical, and none of this was leaked. Now that Obama is here, and appears more rational, they give him the real Iranian intel. Well then, it's a good thing that McCain didn't get elected, or we might have never gotten the truth!
