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?

    @GBT - Obama is "not beholden"?

    Either you're using that word differently than I would or you haven't read much about Obama's career and, in particular, anything regarding his grooming, by the Democratic Party elite.

    You may want to start with Ken Silverstein's report in Harper's ["Barack Obama, Inc.: The Birth of a Washington Machine," Harper's, November 2006] or Paul Street's "Barack Obama: The Empire's New Clothes" [available at blackagendareport.com].

    (p.s. Apologies to Chris S., but I couldn't resist...)
