		<description>Oh please. Letâ€™s put those quotes back in context, OK?

The NIE said:

â€œTehranâ€™s decision to halt its nuclear weapons program suggests it is less determined to develop nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005.â€

Ooooh, suggests! Think Progress removes the caveat and presents it as if it is fact.
-------

Okay but if you put the emphasis on &quot;Tehranâ€™s decision to halt its nuclear weapons program &quot; then it&#039;d be pretty damned dishonest to come out with &quot;I believe they want to have the capacity, the knowledge, in order to make a nuclear weapon.â€

How would they have the capacity if they halted their weapons program?</description>

		<description>I think we&#039;re going to find out a lot of the TRUTH once this administration is out of office - in about 15 years, when he and his administration is long gone.  Unfortunately it will be too late to do anything about.

Congress needs to Impeach this man and do it now.  That is the only way to get to the bottom of all these lies.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;So by doing the same thing, Think Progress is just like Bush, according to you. How ironic.

Comment by DreamCrusher â€” December 4, 2007 @ 7:38 am&lt;/i&gt;

The fact that you have to resort to parsing language of intelligence estimates and the President&#039;s statements for minutia of word choices proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you and your fellow warmongering traitors are truly grasping at straws.  It also shows that you are sadly lacking in both reading and critical thinking skills.  You must be a product of No Child Left Behind.</description>

Nice try, but your lies don&#039;t fly here. You&#039;ve been shown the eror of y8our ways, and Bush has been proven a liar. Just go, you&#039;re a waste of space, at best, and a supporter of treason, at worst.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Why does Think Progress insist on misquoting Bush and misrepresenting the NIE by removing caveats?

Comment by DreamCrusher â€” December 4, 2007 @ 4:13 am&lt;/i&gt;

Because we have a President and ruling cabal who notoriously ignores caveats, details, and facts, and makes policy based on beliefs rather than facts.</description>

&quot;Investigative reporters Carlo Bonini and Giuseppe d&#039;Avanzo report that Nicolo Pollari, chief of Italy&#039;s military intelligence service, known as Sismi, brought the Niger yellowcake story directly to the White House after his insistent overtures had been rejected by the Central Intelligence Agency in 2001 and 2002. Sismi had reported to the CIA on October 15, 2001, that Iraq had sought yellowcake in Niger, a report it also plied on British intelligence, creating an echo that the Niger forgeries themselves purported to amplify before they were exposed as a hoax.

Pollari met secretly in Washington on September 9, 2002, with thenâ€“Deputy National Security Advisor STEPHEN HADLEY. Their secret meeting came at a critical moment in the White House campaign to convince Congress and the American public that war in Iraq was necessary to prevent Saddam Hussein from developing nuclear weapons.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;we NEED to hear cheney and the chimp quizzed on this new info

Comment by shaun â€” December 3, 2007 @ 11:58 pm&lt;/i&gt;

Cheney and his Scoop Jackson cronies spent the better part of the 70s and 80s trying to discredit the CIA.  I&#039;m sure they&#039;re working on this right now.

What&#039;s that about Wolfowitz getting a new job as a security adviser in an obscure White House office? 

Nah - must be a coincidence.</description>
