There is a lot occurring here that partisan idiots like Reid and Pelosi can’t comprehend. Maybe the Iranians stopped in 2003 and maybe they didn’t. Maybe the NIE is correct and maybe it is deliberately wrong. Maybe the mullah’s in Iran saw that pretending you have nucs when you don’t can be a serious mistake. One certainty is that lower oil prices will be a serious strategic blow to the Iranian regime and their dreams of paradise. Information warfare and economic warfare will go hand-in-hand in the 21st Century. George Orwell is smiling somewhere.
