Title: Obama promoted 2 of the 3 'experts' who dismissed the nuclear threat from Iran in 2007

Under President Obama, the Peter Principle appears to have been elevated to policy, at least in the case of architects of an American intelligence disaster.

The International Atomic Energy Agency will soon release a report on Iran's nuclear program. The findings have been leaking for days now -- and come as no surprise to those who have long-harbored well-grounded suspicions of Iran's intentions. Iran is close to achieving nuclear breakthrough: the ability to begin cranking out nuclear weapons. The Western world (not just Israel, the surrounded outpost of Western civilization in the Middle East) will now face a theocratic regime armed with nuclear weapons led by men who harbor not just loathing for Israel and America but apocalyptic fantasies of the utopia to come from nuclear war.

Lest we forget, back in 2007 a National Intelligence Estimate was released by our intelligence community. This report dismissed concerns that Iran had a nuclear weapons program. The report was concocted by three anti-Bush partisans who were focused on derailing any actions against Iran. The report also derailed efforts to sanction Iran. Many people were skeptical about the findings of the report but, as Mona Charen reminds us, Barack Obama and other Democrats greeted the report with glee and immediately used it for partisan purposes against George Bush:

    Democrats, who believe that the chief threats to world peace are to be found in the Republican party, rejoiced in the report at the time. Sen. John Edwards said, "The new National Intelligence Estimate shows that George Bush and Dick Cheney's rush to war with Iran is, in fact, a rush to war. The new NIE finds that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that Iran can be dissuaded from pursuing a nuclear weapon through diplomacy." Sen. Barack Obama, already running for president, said, "By reporting that Iran halted its nuclear-weapon development program four years ago because of international pressure, the new National Intelligence Estimate makes a compelling case for less saber-rattling and more direct diplomacy."

    Sen. Joseph Biden declared the report "good news" because "it makes it harder for these cowboys [i.e. the Bush administration] to go to war.

So whatever became of the three "experts" who bear responsibility for Iran becoming a nuclear power and will be responsible for changing the balance of power and terror in the world? Will they also bear shame for helping a Holocaust happen?

One went off to a comfortable sinecure at Stanford and newly-elected President Barack Obama promoted the other two to even more key positions of power. Should we consider this a reward?
