NEW YORK – The recent United States National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which reports that Iran once had a “nuclear weapons program” but suspended it in 2003, means that there will probably be no American attack on Iran during the Bush administration. How could America’s president explain to the world why he was bombing nuclear weapon facilities that his own intelligence services have said do not exist?
纽约——不久前，美国国家情报估测（NIE）的报告称伊朗曾有过“核武器计划”，但已于2003年中止。这意味着布什执政期间美国不大会进攻伊朗。否则，对于他自己的情报机构都说不存在的核武器设施，美国总统要怎么向世界解释轰炸的理由？
