Where is the evidence that the program has not been suspended?  It is all still just speculation until some decent evidence that their nuclear program is going forward emerges.  Even then, I don't give two shits about Iran having a nuclear weapon in the next ten years.  I highly doubt their government or population would support the use of a nuclear weapon except as a last resort.

I did get a kick out of this report.

Tehran also is accusing Washington of using espionage to compile a new intelligence report, the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate, about Iran's nuclear program.
Huh, you don't say?

Israeli lawmaker Ephraim Sneh, who used to be a deputy defense minister, has described the recent U.S. report as "very flawed." He said the report did not give sufficient weight to Iran's nuclear enrichment program and that even if Iran did suspend its pursuit of nuclear weapons, it could restart the program at any time.

In a statement issued Saturday, the principal deputy director of U.S. National Intelligence, Donald Kerr, said the U.S. intelligence community is confident of the analysis in the report.
I wonder if the Newsmax shill can dig up anything on Donald Kerr, Stingray?

More news regarding Iran...

Where is the evidence it has been suspended?  Again, one unverified, uninterviewed source.  That's hardly "decent evidence" regarding the Iranian nuclear program.  But as you said, you don't give a shit if they have nukes because you trust Ahmednutjob not to use them.

The opinion of the chairman of the NIC, which produces the NIE, has everything to do with why this report came out as it did with no credible evidence.  Or do you dispute the facts presented by Newsmax regarding the chairman?  Btw, the Brits, France, and Germany aren’t believing the NIE report and are still supporting sanctions.
