Round Up Time (Wizbang)

Whoa! It's Thursday already? Time flies. Here's a pot pourri of stories from around the web/blogosphere and from my neck of the woods.

The Winning Strategery According to Dick Morris there is only one way for Hillary to shift the focus onto Obama or Edwards and that is to lose Iowa and New Hampshire. Losing in those two states would make the key question her veracitybut her opponent's ability to win. (Via Cold Hearted Truth) AND Real Clear Politics) Strategy is deliberately misspelled in case the spelling and grammar cops are on the lose tonight.

Israel says that dog won't hunt! Israel doesn't buy into the NIE report. (Via Little Green Footballs)

About Face! The same man who made the following statment on in July of this year is also the same man who helped craft the current NIE report. He said: "We assess that Tehran is determined to develop nuclear weapons--despite its international obligations and international pressure. This is a grave concern to the other countries in the region whose security would be threatened should Iran acquire nuclear weapons. (Via Little Green Footballs) AND (Via Weekly Standard)

Got it all figured outWhile this commenter wonders what's up with that NIE report? (Via Little Green Footballs)

The Wall Street Journal is thinking along the same lines From The Article: "The larger worry here is how little we seem to have learned from our previous intelligence failures. Over the course of a decade, our intelligence services badly underestimated Saddam's nuclear ambitions, then overestimated them. Now they have done a 180-degree turn on Iran, and in such a way that will contribute to a complacency that will make it easier for Iran to build a weapon."
And in the Wall Street journal no less. (Via Opinion Journal)

Iran looking to buy 50,000 Centrifuges Probably for that peaceful uranium enrichment program of theirs. (Via Little Green Footballs)
