Mistakes have been made in the past, most notably Bush over Saddam Hussain's WoMD (there wasn't any!). Could the same thing be happening over Iran's nuclear weapons?

bush made a big mistake with iraq,lieing about the wmd's.as for iran i kinda do feel its the same path.im gonna wait a little longer about them before i decide weather i change my mind on it though.be cause when this whole thing about iran came out years ago i was for stopping them,but now they are saying they haven't been doing anything for a few years,which doesn't make sense,since their leader had stated they will continue with their progress with their nuclear program

I believe the USNIE report. Iran is working on building a bomb. Believe it. Bush screwed up not forcing an alliance on Saddam. If he had Iran would not be nearly the threat that it is today. It is in our best interest to rebuild the Iraqi army and prepare them and our own troops for the possible invasion of Iran if the Ayatollahs don't stop the nuke program.
By the way, yes it was the NIE report that led Bush and Congress to believe that Saddam had WMD. That being said you have to realize that Saddam destroyed his WMD only three short years before hand and then played cat and mouse with the UN inspectors to make them and our intelligence agencies think that he still had them. Even his generals were waiting for him to deploy them during the US invasion. They even believed that he still had them. Why would Iran lie and say that they have a nuclear program. Surely you don't believe that they want to be attacked by the US or Israel. I don't think that they have a death wish but I could be wrong. They are pretty Loony Tunes over there.

so which you think of that's a stable theory to base present day coverage on a 5 year previous checklist? on an identical time as on the time that checklist could have been precise considering the fact that then the variety of centrifuges iran has developed reflects promptly on their desire for weapons

Okay, enough already
1. Even the Dems believed that Saddam had WMD's, in fact WMD was found there. All of the people believed it cause the intel folks told them it was there
2. Does anyone think Bush ahs magic site that he gets info without the CIA/NSA etc giving it to him.
3. Can people stop being so dang stupid and partisan.

Bush has never had good intelligence.
Listen to the way he speaks. You call that intelligent?
Also he missed several terrorists coming into his country to learn to fly Jumbo Jets so I mean
its a no brainer answer.
He was spoiled as a child and still is.
Iraq had mustard gas WOW
Thats been around for decades and is not considered a WMD like Sarin or Anthrax.
Guiliani?
Like he has any chance.
It be better for him to run as a Democrat hes such a liberal.

I believe President Bush.
And Saddam did have WMDs, just not the massive stockpiles, which he had earlier moved into Syria. We know, because he used them on the Kurds.

Since Bush's claims regarding Iraqi WMD were based on NIE reports similar to this one, I don't know how your question makes any sense whatsoever.
If the NIE reported that WMD probably did exist, then should not that then make this report as questionable?
Ponder that.
