#1 Instead of a 1-1-1 record, it should have been 2-0-1. But, thanks to the Asshats in the CIA, we lost. And the world will have its first nuclear exchange in the ME as all the other countries nuke up. Good job guys.

Please drink bleach and die CIA.

#2 The administration had to immediately release and accept the NIE's sensational conclusions because the report would have been leaked and the administration then accused of covering up good news to justify going to war, the assumption being that George Bush and Dick Cheney have a Patton-like lust for the smell of battle.

This is where the administration - and the otherwise sensible Krauthammer - are mistaken. Anyone who believes President Bush lusts for war will continue to believe it despite the capitulation to the CIA. If anything, they will believe the NIE confirms everything they already believe about Bush as a warmonger.

More important, Iran with nascent nuclear weapons capability is a threat to civilization. A few nay-sayers in the press, the universities, the media and an apparently seditious intelligence apparatus should not deter the President from doing the sworn duty of his office, his duty as an American and his duty as a man. It looks as though a few cringing whiners now determine his policy. This is his shame and we are all going to pay the price for it.

#3 Let's stop for a second and behold the state of things in DC. What was formerly a closely-held secret (NIE) now is publicized because "it will happen anyway". Following on the cost-free revelation of several productive and very black surveillance operations. In time of war. Against the most barbaric enemies we've ever faced.

Excalibur's touched on a key point. Bush has failed critically by allowing the felonious mass insubordination of the Beltway mediocrities to proceed without any apparent response. As with the failure to adequately explain the logic of pre-emption, and the role of unavoidably flawed intelligence, Bush has taken Truman-like decisions for action, while bequeathing Carter-like chaos and muddle within the government to his successor.
