Shoddy? Since it’s the Bush administration we’re dealing with here, I’m sure Ahmadinejad meant to say ’shitty’. And seeing as how the older report appeared to be pulled out of someone’s ass, that would be quite more fitting.

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday called a U.S. intelligence report that downgraded Iran as a nuclear threat “a declaration of victory” for the Iranian nuclear program.

During a televised speech made from Ilam province in western Iran, Ahmadinejad said earlier reports from the United States had been based on “shoddy intelligence.”

The Bush administration has for years warned that Iran’s development of nuclear power plants and enriched uranium masked an effort to produce an nuclear bomb.

Top officials have called the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran “unacceptable.”

But in a report released Monday, U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Iran had suspended nuclear weapons work in 2003 and was unlikely to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a bomb until at least 2010. The assessment reverses a 2005 National Intelligence Estimate that found the Islamic Republic was “determined to develop nuclear weapons despite its international obligations and international pressure.”
