quotes from the Washington Post Dec 8, 2007 article "A futile Quest on Iranian Arms" P A10:

"By mid-November, the agencies were ready to deliver their conclusions to the White House. Intelligence officials gave a preliminary breifing Nov. 15 in the Situation room to Vice President Cheney, national security advisor Stephen J. Hadley and other senior officials.

The process was climaxing just as Bush was convening a Middle East peace conference in Annapolis, a meeting designed at least in part to rally the region against Iran. No one told the participants about the new information, but on the same day they were gathering in Annapolis on Nov. 27, the National Intelligence Board met to finalize the new NIE. McConnell and others breifed Bush and Cheney the next day. Even though intelligence officials planned to keep it from the public, Bush later that day passed it on to Israeli Prime minister Ehud Olmert and Cheney told Defense Minister Ehud Barak."


Now Bobert stated:
""President Bush got the world's attention this fall when he warned that a nuclear-armed Iran might lead to World War III. But his stark warning came at least a month or two *******after****** he had been told about frssh indidctaions that Iran had actaully halted it's nuclear weapons program.""

So, Bush knew the results of the report last fall that were finalized on Nov. 27, and presented to him the next day ( Nov. 28th)

If Bush can tell the future as well as Bobert claims, maybe we ought to pay attention to what he says...




As for the effect on Middle East ppeace of this so-settling information:

" Had they know before the summit, a senior Israeli official said, "I'm not sure we would have shown up." "

I certainly am glad to know that the Israelis have such confidence in this report that they will now (probably) act on their own, since the report gives those opposed to holding Iran accountable for it's PROVEN violation by the IAEA, and it's CONTINUED ( as stated by the Iranians) enrichment to weapons-grade fissionable material.

Thanks, Bobert, for showing me the TRUTH .
