Has Obama gotten a new, more worrisome NIE on Iran?

President Barack Obama recently received a new National Intelligence Estimate report on the Iranian nuclear program, which shares Israel's view that Iran has made surprising, significant progress toward military nuclear capability, Western diplomats and Israeli officials have informed Haaretz. This NIE report on Iran was supposed to have been submitted to Obama a few weeks ago, but it was revised to include new and alarming intelligence information about military components of Iran's nuclear program. Haaretz has learned that the report's conclusions are quite similar to those drawn by Israel's intelligence community. The NIE report contends that Iran has made surprising, notable progress in the research and development of key components of its military nuclear program.

He was so worried, he missed a two-foot putt.

Is he worried? The man who would reduce our warhead count to 300 on the way to zero? The man who clearly hates Israel?

I think his worry would depend on a) whether he thinks something is afoot which would affect his re-election, and b) whether he’s more Shiite than Sunni in his obvious Islamic sympathies.

And Valerie Jarret, the man behind the girly-man, will never authorize military action against Iran. Jarret grew up in Iran, and supports the mullahs at every turn, especially when it comes to Israel.

It wouldn’t surprise me if BO tries to talk Israel into attacking Iran in October so he can have those neat photo ops with a worried expression as he sits in the War Room and pretends to be a real Commander-in-Chief. If Bibi Netanyahu falls for this election-year ploy, he is too stupid to lead Israel.

Jeff Kuehner offered this scenario a few months ago on the Michael Savage show as a way obama could attempt to rally the country around a “war time” president just before the election.

Probably irrelevent, but Iran is undergoing an earthquake cluster.

If Israel were smart, they’d help 0bama’s election as little as possible. Perhaps attack Iran on Nov. 7.. Don’t give 0bama any fodder as the ‘war time President’. NO!

Israel will attack when least expected.

There won’t be any announcements.

Obama planning to go back to that old maxim that Americans do not want to change Commanders in the middle of a war.

He was so worried, he missed a two-foot putt.

Then his worry intensified and he was 10 minutes late for the iftar.

Netanyahu is not stupid. He will attack after the election.
