Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Obama v. the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran Last year, the NIE famously concluded with "high confidence" that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003. Why did Obama say yesterday that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons?
  • In feeble defense of G. Stephanopolous

    Maybe George is not familiar with the latest NIE? Which is not a defense at all, it would be appalling.

    Another hypothesis: Could Obama be ratcheting up anti-Iran rhetoric in order to be able to deal effectively, somehow, with Israel by claiming to be tough on one of their enemies?

    These are wild and hopeful imaginings, perhaps, but trying to figure out the gambit here, if it's a gambit at all. I mean, he's already WON THE ELECTION. What's he trying to prove? Or does he actually believe this stuff?
