Dems seeking answers about report on Iran

Congressional Democrats are capitalizing on the latest intelligence estimate on Iran’s nuclear weapons development to question President Bush’s credibility amid an angry stalemate with the White House over funding government operations and the war in Iraq.

While many Democrats said they remain cautious about the National Intelligence Estimate’s (NIE) conclusion that Iran halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003, several said that Congress should investigate the discrepancy between the Bush administration’s recent doomsday rhetoric on Iran and the NIE’s judgments.

Democrats are drawing a comparison between this NIE, released Monday, and the flawed NIE on Iraq released shortly before the October 2002 Iraq war authorization vote.

“We’ve heard the president before, in his build-up to go to war in Iraq, try to lay the same foundation for going to war in Iran. We’ve heard it … and the sixth year is a daily reminder of us that that’s the case,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday.

Reid charged that the president knew Iran halted its nuclear weapons program months ago even while he warned that the international community must prevent Iran from having the know-how to make a nuclear weapon and avoid “World War III.”

The president said Tuesday he was briefed on the NIE only a week ago and that the estimate has not changed his mind about the danger posed by Tehran. He added that the intelligence assessment opens a new opportunity for diplomacy.

“There is absolutely no question that there should be oversight on this issue,” said Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) who for years has been trying to push legislation that would ensure congressional authorization for any military action with Iran.

President Bush’s “credibility is absolutely zero,” McDermott said in an interview. “We are dealing with a president who has no shame. Anyone who can turn down $10 million for children’s is not going to be turned off by a report,” he added.

He said that even though the report’s conclusion is not a victory he wants, it shows that the Democrats “told the American people the truth.”
