Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran...Bomb Bomb... Er....
NYT has a story breaking right now that could seriously jolt the presidential debate in both parties:
U.S. Report Says Iran Halted Nuclear Weapons Program in 2003
How do the Republicans hawks on Iran figure this into their advocacy for a threatening posture against the country? Will Hillary's moderately hawkish take on Iran -- so carefully calculated to work for the general -- now seem prescient or overheated? Lastly, will anyone suffer for trying to scare the heebeejeebees out of us (I'm looking at you, Norman Podhoretz!). Obviously, Iran remains a complicated, precarious global presence, but the whole "we overestimated their nuclear program" thing sounds dangerously familiar.
UPDATE: Yup, this is the Holy Moly report Joe referred to. It's from the NIE.
UPDATE: Someday, now that the world is not on the brink of WORLD WAR IV, I will learn to spell Mr. Podhoretz's name.
