According to the recently released National Intelligence Estimate generated by a top-level committee of U.S. federal agencies, the (alleged) Iranian nuke program was halted over four years ago and not restarted:

"We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program...

We assess with moderate confidence Tehran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program as of mid-2007...

Tehran's decision to halt its nuclear weapons program suggests it is less determined to develop nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005..."

-- National Intelligence Estimate, Nov 2007

Despite this new assessment, the Zionist war agitators are still adamant that Iran (like Carthage) must be destroyed, no matter what:

"I entertain an even darker suspicion. It is that the intelligence community, which has for some years now been leaking material calculated to undermine George W. Bush, is doing it again. This time the purpose is to head off the possibility that the President may order air strikes on the Iranian nuclear installations...

How better, then, to stop Bush in his tracks than by telling him and the world that such [diplomatic] pressures have already been effective and that keeping them up could well bring about 'a halt to Iran's entire nuclear weapons program'..."

-- Norman Podhoretz, Commentary

Perhaps comrade Podhoretz is worried that this awful treachery by the intelligence agency bureaucrats will hurt the sales of his new book.
