U.S. doesn't know what it believes about Iranian nukes
http://zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2009/04/us-doesnt-know-what-it-believes-about.htmlThis is a damaging admission of defective US intelligence and failed strategic assessment. If someone can find the panic button, it may be time to push it.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday said she did not view the latest Iranian claims about its nuclear program as a rebuff to U.S. overtures to engage Iran.
"We do not attribute any particular meaning, with respect to the range of issues that we are looking to address with the Iranians, from this particular statement," Clinton said at a news conference when asked about an Iranian statement that it was now running 7,000 enrichment centrifuges.
She also cast doubt on Iranian claims of major progress in its nuclear program. "We don't know what to believe about the Iranian program. We've heard many different assessments and claims over a number of years," she said.

Iran announced further progress in its disputed nuclear program on Thursday, one day after world powers said they would invite Tehran to direct talks, but the declaration met some Western skepticism.
