#1 No longer 60,000 > Russian XPerts forecast Radical Iran may go up to well over 100K by EOM December 2006. Between January-April 2007 > iff nothing changes, Rusia will deem Iran as self-sufficient, i.e. can produce enuff indigens nuke materials for Bombs-Warheads without foreign assistance.

#2 Well, Joe, the Russians leaving would be a good thing. The US has always tried to avoid killing Russian "experts" in our military actions. Once their numbers are significantly reduced, a significant constraint on military action will be removed.

#4 I noticed one glaring omission for the "defense establishment's new and updated assessment for 2007." Whether or not ISRAEL would conduct the strike. This could be good cop/bad JOOO thingy.

#10 The assessment is from "The defense establishment". If it was from the Pentagon, they'd have said so. If it was from the White House, they'd have said so. Hell, they quoted Olmert, so why not the Pentagon or the White House?

But they can't pin this "assessment" on either of them, so they fall back on the shadowy, unnamed "defense establishment", and hope lazy readers will read into it what they can't say out loud for fear of being called on it and proven to stuff words into other people's mouths.

This didn't need the hand-lotion pic, but the Morton Salt Dispenser pic.
