   So.... The NIE report said that Iran was no closer than 5 years from building a nuclear weapon if they resumed work right now.  The United States Intelligence community believes, correctly or incorrectly that Iran canceled their nuclear weapons program back in 2003.  When Mr. Bush heard this report, he said (and those in his administration said) that the report proves that Iran is still a threat.  He doesn't dispute the findings, but he downplays the bit about the nuclear weapon program being snuffed out.

  Until he visits Israel and the Isralies tell him that they believe that Iran IS building a nuclear weapon and is close to completing it.  Faced with this news, do Bush say "Well our intelligence says he isn't, so lets talk" ??  Nope..  He says that he can't control what our intelligence community thinks and that HE believes as the Israelis do.

   Then please stay in Israel, since you like them so much, Mr Bush.  Either agree with your own people or not.  Don't just go along with something until someone you like disputes it and then come out of the closet.
