The apparent isolation of Dick Cheney has been reaffirmed by a US intel report that states Iran “halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains on hold” (NYT).
Seems old Penguin-features has finally lost his grip.
The new report concludes that if Iran were to end the freeze of its weapons program, it would still be at least two years before Tehran would have enough highly enriched uranium to produce a nuclear bomb. But it says it is still “very unlikely†Iran could produce enough of the material by then.
It now seems unlikely that Bush will have the political capital to launch an attack on Tehran. Mind you, Cheney has always advocated that someone else do the dirty work.
