"So what's the justification for Obama's inflammatory and seemingly baseless claim on national television that Iran is "pursuing a nuclear weapon that could potentially trigger a nuclear arms race" when the consensus of American intelligence agencies is that they are not doing so?"
His justification is that he has a "new" centrism and non-ideological philosophy that enables him to accurately, somehow, read in that report what's not there? Or, perhaps he has better, different and more reliable information, that's of course secret, from the Bush administration that shows Iran doing exactly what the American Intelligence agencies say it's not?
The real answer is that there is no justification. And the Obama apologists know it.
I guess we're in for another four years of accepting whatever our leaders tell us.
