Wikileaks Report Reveals Obama’s Flawed Assessment of Iranian Nuclear Threat

Barack Obama Owes George Bush An Apology–
Back in 2007 it was common knowledge that Iran was working on a nuclear weapons program.
That’s why it was such a shock in December 2007 that National Intelligence Estimate assessment released a controversial report that claimed Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.
(AFP)
Far left Senator Barack Obama attacked then President Bush after the report was released:
“It is absolutely clear that this administration and President Bush continues to not let facts get in the way of his ideology.. They need, now, to aggressively move on the diplomatic front… They should have stopped the saber rattling — should never have started it.”
Now, thanks to the Wikileaks document dump, we find out that this report by leftists in the NIE was horribly inaccurate. In fact less than four months after the NIE report was released the Saudi regime was begging the US to “cut off the head of the snake” and put an end Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
The far left Guardian posted the document:
Here’s the transcript:
10. (S) The King, Foreign Minister, Prince Muqrin, and Prince Nayif all agreed that the Kingdom needs to cooperate with the US on resisting and rolling back Iranian influence and subversion in Iraq. The King was particularly adamant on this point, and it was echoed by the senior princes as well. Al-Jubeir recalled the King’s frequent exhortations to the US to attack Iran and so put an end to its nuclear weapons program. “He told you to cut off the head of the snake,” he recalled to the Charge’, adding that working with the US to roll back Iranian influence in Iraq is a strategic priority for the King and his government.
Obviously, this shows that Barack Obama and the far left were on the wrong side of history once again.
…And, Bush was right.

Haven’t the media reported that the Sauds are helping arm Iran against US soldiers?
Mark1957 commented:
So this explains why the U.S. is selling $60 Billion worth of fighter planes to the Saudi’s. It is meant to calm their fears due to no action being taken against Iran by the U. S.
shibumi commented:
None of this matters. The media will still support Teh Won, and indeed, will claim that it’s not Iran’s fault even if that country nukes one of our allies.
See what happens when you elect a Muslim sympathizer?
Fuzzy commented:
It’s amazing how now that we have a president who all but cheers the development of nukes by our enemies (America’s if not his), the world is suddenly interested in our throwing our weight around. We all knew this, but BO is so steeped in leftist insanity that he didn’t understand that our strength and will helps keep peace in the world, that the world relies on us. They gripe about and mutter silliness, but we all knew that it was just to save face. Well, all of us except BO and the naive, lunatic traitors he surrounds himself with.

What the heck is with all these flawed National Intellligence Estimates (there’s a true oxymoron for ya)??
There’s needs to be a grand house cleaning in the so-called intelligence agencies.
squeaky commented:
if only we had a president who surrounded himself with advisors who wanted to see America prosper rather than a president who surrounded himself advisors who want America to bow to the tyrants of the world. was he even a good organizer?

If they really wanted to stop the Wikileaks website, all they need to do is hack the Wikileaks site and put up a bunch of anti-Islam stuff including cartoons of Mohammed with a bomb in his turban, Mohammed “making love” to a goat or a camel…you get the drift…and “let nature take its course”.

sorry to have to say this, but the only thing “new” about these reports is being able to view the actual reports.. as for the info contained in in them, again, much of that \has already been revealed via other report.. ie: Saudis Will Let Israel Bomb Iran Nuclear (of course all the old links have probably been sucked up by the usual suspect, Obama’s black hole machine).. oh wait, that was under Obama’s charge, as was the following..
Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites
flashback (the best i could do under Bush’ charge, of which there was much ado about SA stance since they more or less enlisted the aide of Isreal):
Why Arab leaders worry about Iran’s nuclear program
[Article Highlights
* Arab leaders believe that Iran is using its civilian
nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons.
* An Iranian bomb would threaten the security and stability
of regional neighbors such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
* If the security situation in the region devolves, it could
lead to a nuclear arms race between Arab countries.]

[According to sources, the king also told Cheney that the Middle
East should be free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of
mass destruction. ]

I must say that I am surprised. Until this report I was convinced that Obama was infallible.
Bill Mitchell commented:
This just in from Wikileaks:
“Obama, who had no practical experience in anything required to be a successful president, appears to have no f*cking clue…”
Ginger commented:
When is Iran going to drop a bomb on the snakes head in Saudi? That would stop a lot of things that Saudi is doing here in America to take us down!
Sandy commented:
If most of us screwed up this badly it would show in our demeanor and we would look like death warmed over. However, Obama smiles and acts like nothing is on his mind but Cap and Trade and the comfort of Polar Bears.
Maybe its all going just the way he wanted and he has trouble keeping from being gleeful.

President 44 and his cohorts in the Fourth Estate have placed this Nation at great risk.To have this President not avow to find Assange but issuer a serious of notes and condemnations neuters the Nations respect and honor.

as the 1st wikileaks dump raises its ugly head again i remember our so-called “betters” smuggly giving a pass to the butcherers of iraqis by placing the blame for their grisly demise on the victims themselves – getting what they deserve for dealing with the Americans. i’m sure julian assange hopes that life extends more consideration to him and those he loves than what he is willing to extend to others.

“However, Obama smiles” – consider how he was beaming as a supporter told him she was tired of defending him. pure ghoul…….pooring out her fears while he was ear to ear smiling.

[A 2009 American government cable released Sunday by the WikiLeaks website quotes Defense Minister Ehud Barak as telling visiting American officials that a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities was viable until the end of 2010, but after that "any military solution would result in unacceptable collateral damage."]

“…Barack Obama and the far left were … wrong…”
“…And, Bush was right.”
