WASHINGTON — Even as the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said in a new report Friday that Iran had accelerated its uranium enrichment program, American intelligence analysts continue to believe that there is no hard evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear bomb....

In Senate testimony on Jan. 31, James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, stated explicitly that American officials believe that Iran is preserving its options for a nuclear weapon, but said there was no evidence that it had made a decision on making a concerted push to build a weapon...

“They are certainly moving on that path, but we don’t believe they have actually made the decision to go ahead with a nuclear weapon,” Mr. Clapper told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence...

This quoted genius, is the same Clapper who has recently claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood is "secular."

This is the same NY Times who had told America that Fidel Castro was not a Communist, but believed in Jeffersonian Democracy. The same NY Times who had told America that Stalin was not starving millions to death nor running death camps in the Gulag; and those claiming so were all rightwing propagandists.

Obama to Iran:

“Hurry up, I can only hold them off for so long.”

Pardon me but.....isn’t building the capability to build a bomb a “move” toward building one? Only a moron or a Fifth Column flunkie would make a distinction between the two.

And when Iran does build its bomb, the MSM will go on about how “unexpected” that was.

Who is this lying idiot? Seriously, he is lying and/or a complete babbling fool. Why do you thing Iran is refining uranium to levels higher than necessary for power production? Hmm, could it be to build a weapon? Why do you think they are flipping off international inspectors, refusing access, etc. even though they know this will hurt them politically and in international trade? Ya think maybe they've actually got something to hide? Or what, you just think they like being an international pariah and all the hardships imposed on them?

Clapper, you're an a** if you think we believe you. You're a dumb-a** if you believe this drivel yourself.

This is what the NY Times published (from its man in Moscow Walter Duranty) at the time of Stalin's famine:
"The use of the word 'Famine' in connection with the North Caucasus is a sheer absurdity. There a bumper crop is being harvested as fast as tractors, horses, oxen, men, women, and children can work ... There are plump babies in the nurseries or gardens of the collectives ... Village markets are flowing with eggs fruit, poultry, vegetables, milk and butter at prices lower than in Moscow.”
But at this same time, to a private confidant (and only revealed many years later) Duranty admitted..
"that Ukraine has been bled white ... It was quite possible that as many as ten million people may have died directly or indirectly from lack of food in the Soviet Union during the past year."
On Stalin's relocation of millions to the Gulag death camps, according to Duranty and the NY Times, it was only to...
"remove subversive individuals from their familiar milieu to a remote spot ... where such misguided persons will be given a chance to regain by honest toil their lost citizenship in the Socialist Fatherland."
Where according to Duranty's own comparison to 'early American settlers in Virginia'...
"Each concentration camp forms a sort of 'commune' where everyone lives comparatively free, not imprisoned, but compelled to work for the good of the community. They are fed and housed gratis and receive pay for their work ... They are certainly not convicts in the American sense of the word. "
[ The 2nd quote is from "Stalin's Apologist" by Taylor and all others are from the NY Times during the 1930s ]

And other agencies run by this most corrupt administration also stated the mac daddy does not take vacations, golf, lie or bow before some head of a mid east country.

So there, additional rumors have been corrected, trust us.

Let’s just say that Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart get rained out again at Daytona. Let’s say they both happen to be driving home and find themselves driving together on an interstate highway at the speed limit of 70 mph.

Just like Iran’s nukes, there is no hard evidence that they will go faster than the law allows...
