Does it surprise you?

that contrary to statements made by our president that Iran has currently stopped development of nuclear weapons and this has been the case since 2003?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071203/ts_nm/iran_usa...

Update:

this is from our own intellegence agencies. the new NIE read the story before answering please

Update 2:

Tip - no bashing the question is "does it surprise you", did we not have a past problem with slow intellegence reports?

    The world thought this not just our president, luckily this report came out before we went to war with Iran. You guys never quit with your bashing do you

    As Iraq winds down little Georgies has to put his toy soldiers in a new battle field. This one could result in a third world war but he doesn't care. He is a war time president. I guess he thinks that makes him special and not accountable for some of the things he and the people in his Administration have done. Jingoists can't wait until we attack Iran but it would seem to me that such a move would be a grave mistake. When I say grave I mean grave, get it? The graves would be dug by those still alive but suffering from the effects of nuclear blasts all over the world. Those will eventually die too from radiation sickness, blistering of the skin or lack of food because what little is not contaminated will run out.

    Who would have thought that we have reliable information about a potential threat? No, it doesn't suprise me at all...What does surprise me is the instance of the US gov't that Iran has anything other than peaceful intent when they've consistently been thwarted in efforts to determine otherwise. We see threats where there are none IRAQ, yet another Nuclear Superpower. Happy Holidays!

    Nothing contrary to what Bush says should surprise anyone.
