the intelligence said there was no weapons program in iran, but then that the weapons program wasn't dismantled by the strikes. i mean, this is 1984-level doublethink, here. if there wasn't a weapons program, how could it have been not dismantled? unless we be strictly logical, that is a way out; the program could not have been destroyed, because it never existed. qed.

the only thing to learn from the intelligence assessment is that the americans don't publish intelligence reports.
