Déjà vu

Neo-conservatives are at it again. Andrew Sullivan asserts that Iran is "on the brink of nukes". Uh, no it's not. The IAEA recently criticized this sort of bullshit peddling, noting that weapons-grade uranium is enriched to 90% or more while Iran has only enriched it to 3.5%, and that too under the monitoring of the IAEA. A few months ago, the NYT ran a story on how experts predicted Iran was 5-10 years away, at best, from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Some even put the date at 2020. I just have one question: aren't American neo-cons a little tired from the last time they hyped intelligence about WMD allegedly held by a state in the Middle East? Seriously, how masochistic are these people?
