Video:Dr. Evil, Ahmadinejad Declares Victory Over US:
The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, today said the US intelligence report confirming his country had abandoned its nuclear weapons programme was a "declaration of victory" for his people.
The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report, which was declassified on Monday, disclosed for the first time that Iran had not been pursuing a nuclear weapons development programme for the past four years.
"This is a declaration of victory for the Iranian nation against the world powers over the nuclear issue," said a jubilant Ahmadinejad said during a visit to Ilam province in western Iran. He addressed thousands of people who greeted the remarks with celebratory whistles.
"This was a final shot to those who, in the past several years, spread a sense of threat and concern in the world through lies of nuclear weapons. Thanks to your resistance, a fatal shot was fired at the dreams of ill-wishers and the truthfulness of the Iranian nation was once again proved by the ill-wishers themselves."
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN nuclear watchdog, gave a more nuanced response to the NIE.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the IAEA director general, who has had prickly relations with the Bush administration, called the US intelligence report a "sigh of relief" because its conclusions gelled with his agency's own findings.

US intelligence own admission of being wrong about the Iraq WMD should be sued for compensation to the families of our soldiers.
US intelligence lack of foresight about the Iraq insurgency should be enough to have them all fired from their jobs.
US intelligence habitual failure to keep our own secrets, secret - should have them all under criminal investigation themselves.
US intelligence assessment on the status of Iran developing nuclear bomb factories should be lauded and heralded as splendid intelligence work success (Despite all the obvious signs that simple common sense shows Iran is trying to build nukes rather than openly embrace any and all inspections.). /s
OPINION:
Frankly, Ahmadinejad, I think you’re celebrating a bit too soon; but then, I’m not an intelligence agent, the garden variety anti-American, nor a low-life like you.
Actually, the report was much more “nuanced” than that.
...”Jihad of Words,” “Jihad of Deception.”
