Good Arguments All, But Not Good Enough by Evelyn Gordon, The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, December 2, 2011
Israel would prefer not to attack Iran: It would rather see Tehran’s nuclear program halted by crippling sanctions, regime change or covert action, and if all these fail, it would prefer military action by an American-led coalition. Nevertheless, if Israel concluded that all other efforts had failed, and that international military action wasn’t in the cards, none of the arguments opponents have raised against an Israeli strike are likely to deter it.

Different Voices, Common Conclusion: Iran is a Threat, The American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC], December 18, 2007
“Top foreign leaders, Democratic and Republican national security experts, and leading editorialists have responded to the recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran with the conclusion that Iran remains a threat that must be thwarted. As Iran continues to advance its uranium enrichment capabilities in defiance of the U.N. Security Council resolutions, it is clear that sanctions must be stepped up to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.”
Misreading the Iran Report: Why Spying and Policymaking Don’t Mix by Henry A. Kissinger, Washington Post, December 13, 2007
“The NIE holds that Iran may be able to produce enough highly enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon by the end of 2009 and, with increasing confidence, more warheads by the period 2010 to 2015. That is virtually the same timeline as was suggested in the 2005 National Intelligence Estimate. ….It is therefore doubtful that the evidence supports the dramatic language of the summary and, even less so, the broad conclusions drawn in much of the public commentary.”
American Intelligence by Claude Moniquet, The Wall Street Journal, December 13, 2007:
“U.S. intelligence services have so far failed to predict the nuclearization of a single foreign nation. …. [T]he NIE has little in common with intelligence as it is understood by professionals. Instead, Langley & Co. seem to have decided to carry out their own foreign policy.”
Losing Weight in the Gulf by Thomas L. Friedman New York Times, December 12, 2007:
“The peculiar (obtuse?) way the N.I.E. on Iran was framed has deprived all who favor a negotiated settlement of leverage.”

“Mr Ahmadinejad is no more truthful on his nuclear plans than on homosexuality, women’s rights or the Holocaust, which he has called a myth. [....] Mr Ahmadinejad has shown why the world should be more concerned about his intentions for Iran. He has condemned himself in his own words.”
