The National Intelligence Estimate report just made war with Iran more likely
The report encourages Iran to pursue nuclear weapons more agressively since they think effective sanctions are now a non-possibility. That will cause Israel's IAF and the Bush Administration to act sooner against the unthinkable , but required, solution to "avoid", in George Bush's own words, WWIII. Ironically, I'm betting US and Israel's action against Iran will actually hasten WWIII/Armageddon/War of Gog & Magog. The west is being called to Armageddon as per Revelation 16 by the LBL beast, and by my count only about 5 people in the world see it coming.

Let's face it, oil rich Iran is not spending disproportionate amounts of its economic GDP to research nuclear power generation.



Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak sharply criticizes Bush handling of Iran’s nuclear weapons program
...former US Central Intelligence Agency deputy director John McLaughlin heaped scorn on the National Intelligence Estimate which found that Iran had put its nuclear weapons program on ice in 2003. He said the report was full of mistakes and flaws.

This Ynet News article doesn't name Ehud Barak as its source, but according to DEBKAfile it's Barak.
Israeli official criticizes US handling of Iranian threat
"Six years have passed since the attack on the Twin Towers, and the success rate (of the war on terror) is debatable," the official said. "Osama bin Laden is still on the loose. What is happening in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan raises some questions as to how far we've really come in the battle against this 'triangle'.

That "triangle" is the lion-bear-leopard (LBL) beast of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13:2. If Bush doesn't do anything about the LBL beast, I don't have much hope for the Democrats to do anything about it either. That then takes us much quicker to Revelation 16, where this beast calls the world to Armageddon. This doesn't fit with "traditional eschatology", but ask yourself: who already has an abomination of desolation on the Temple Mount, saying that Jesus is not the Son of God? Answer: Spend some time on, and think about this LINK. Islam is completely willing to tell you what they think of Jesus, who ranks in their minds as a prophet much lower than Mohammad. They don't mind if you blaspheme the name of THEIR "prophet Jesus", but don't touch their "holy prophet Mohammad". Don't even name a teddy bear 'Mohammad' in their countries because it could mean your head.

Revelation 16:
13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon [satan], out of the mouth of the [LBL] beast [of Revelation 13] and out of the mouth of the false prophet [Who's the most popular false prophet out there? Answer: Mohammad and his 1.3 billion followers]. 14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed." [verse 15 seems out of context, 'out of place' - but I think Christ's coming is perfectly placed right here before vs.16's word "Then"]

16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
