Exposed! - NIE’s Own Timeline Proves Iran’s Deception Strategy
Former Iranian President Khatami laughs his ass of because his religion of peace provides for Taqqiyah (lying to infidels is okie dokie, smokie).
It appears that Ahmadinejad’s predecessor, lied through his teeth and made nice with everyone on the promise that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapons program. The EU even tripled trade with Iran in 1997 based on this promise.
NRO article by Michael Rubin is here, highlights of that article are below:
The NIE time line clearly describes the elaborate deception that occurred during the term of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s predecessor, Mohammad Khatami, when Iran tried to build a nuclear bomb. It proves Iran was cheating even as well-meaning American diplomats believed promises that it was cooperating with the international community.
On Aug. 4, 1997, Khatami declared, “We are in favor of a dialogue between civilizations and a detente in our relations with the outside world.” European diplomats, American academics and even Secretary of State Madeleine Albright applauded him. European statesmen opened palaces to him, and the Iranian president became the toast of Rome, Paris and London.
In fact, to encourage Khatami’s promises of reform, the European Union nearly tripled its trade with Iran - and the Islamic Republic reaped a windfall. But rather than integrate itself into the family of nations, Khatami and the theocratic leadership he served invested the money in a covert quest for the bomb.
The NIE proves once and for all that all of Khatami’s talk of dialogue and reform was little more than a smoke screen.

All good things come to those who wait.
The MSM and their Bush-hating lackeys in the Congress and at Kos and BowelMovement.org all jump on the bandwagon when there’s a potentially embarrasing story for Bush. Instead of waiting or launching their own investigations, they run with it because it fits their agenda. Then, two or three days later, the real story is exposed by none other than “alternative media - doing the job MSM journalists won’t do”.
So here’s another example of “rush to judgment”, which the MSM is always complaining about when it comes to liberals being accused of misdeeds. Coupled with the traitors buried in the intelligence community, these lying sacks of excrement in the MSM have now created another perception in the “sheepl’s” minds that Bush is a liar when, in actual fact, he’s just incompetent at grabbing hold of a story line and making it his own.
I can’t wait for the next Republican president because it gives me a headache trying to defend this clown against liars and traitors when he and the rest of his party can’t or won’t be aggressive and get ahead of the story.

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.
