As many recognize, the latest NIE on Iran’s nuclear weapons program directly contradicts what the U.S. Intelligence Community was saying just two years previously. And it appears that this about-face was very recent. How recent?
Consider that on July 11, 2007, roughly four or so months prior to the most recent NIE’s publication, Deputy Director of Analysis Thomas Fingar gave the following testimony before the House Armed Services Committee (emphasis added):
Iran and North Korea are the states of most concern to us. The United States’ concerns about Iran are shared by many nations, including many of Iran’s neighbors. Iran is continuing to pursue uranium enrichment and has shown more interest in protracting negotiations and working to delay and diminish the impact of UNSC sanctions than in reaching an acceptable diplomatic solution. We assess that Tehran is determined to develop nuclear weapons--despite its international obligations and international pressure. This is a grave concern to the other countries in the region whose security would be threatened should Iran acquire nuclear weapons.
The authors are known to outright oppose Pres Bush's policies, and now all of a sudden, we are to believe the intelligence? Without questioning? Clinton says we must now return to diplomancy. Diplomacy for what? If they aren't doing anything, what do we need to engage in diplomacy for? I gues even Ahmadinejad himself is a liar and the report knows stuff that even he doesn't. I mean, he's admitted developing enriched uranium, what else do you need? Is the world insane? Can it be convinced of anything in the name of anti-Bush?

Besides, if the NIE report is right, then it was "Shock & Awe" that was the deciding factor for Iran. Nothing else.
