Just as they did before the the glorious War on Terror (Iraq v.2) began, democrats embedded in our Republican Government have conspired to alter the data and make our Godly President look like a fool. Don't they understand that Jesus is the only source our President needs? Jesus is always right! Jesus never lies! And if Jesus says that Iran is making nukes then BY GOD it is so! 
Leave it to the Clinton/Pelosky crowd to believe a terrorist over the word of Christ.
Report contradicts Bush on Iran nuclear program
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new U.S. intelligence report says Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and it remains on hold, contradicting the Bush administration's earlier assertion that Tehran was intent on developing a bomb.
The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) released on Monday could undermine U.S. efforts to convince other world powers to agree on a third package of U.N. sanctions against Iran for defying demands to halt uranium enrichment activities.
Tensions have escalated in recent months as Washington has ratcheted up the rhetoric against Tehran, with U.S. President George W. Bush insisting in October that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War Three.
But in a finding likely to surprise U.S. friends and foes alike, the latest NIE concluded: "We do not know whether (Iran) currently intends to develop nuclear weapons."
That marked a sharp contrast to an intelligence report two years ago that stated Iran was "determined to develop nuclear weapons."
But the new assessment found Iran was continuing to develop technical capabilities that could be used to build a bomb and that it would likely be capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon "sometime during the 2010-2015 time-frame."
The shift in the intelligence community's thinking on Iran comes five years after a flawed NIE concluded neighboring Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction -- a report that helped pave the way for the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.
No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq and intelligence agencies since have been more cautious about Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were briefed on the NIE last Wednesday, senior intelligence officials said. They said political officials had no input into the findings.
Iran has already been hit with two rounds of U.N. sanctions. Washington, which insists it wants to solve the problem diplomatically while leaving military options "on the table," is pushing for tougher measures but faces resistance from China and Russia.
Tehran insists it wants nuclear technology only for civilian purposes, such as electricity generation.
The nuclear standoff has become a major issue in the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, with candidates weighing in on the prospects for military action against Iran.
