U.S. does NOT believe Iran is trying to build nuclear bomb

The "Los Angeles Times" reported on February 23, 2012:
U.S. intelligence agencies don't believe Iran is actively trying to build an atomic bomb.
A highly classified U.S. intelligence assessment circulated to policymakers early last year largely affirms that view, originally made in 2007. Both reports, known as national intelligence estimates, conclude that Tehran halted efforts to develop and build a nuclear warhead in 2003.
The most recent report, which represents the consensus of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, indicates that Iran is pursuing research that could put it in a position to build a weapon, but that it has not sought to do so. Source: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/feb/23/world/la-fg-iran-intel-20120224
So now what are the wild-eyed warmongers going to do?  Are they going to claim that they know more than 16 U.S. intelligence agencies?
Is Millionaire Mitt Romney going to claim he knows more than 16 U.S. intelligence agencies?
Is the religious fanatic wingnut Rick Santorum going to claim he knows more than 16 U.S. intelligence agencies?
Is the zany serial adulterer Newt Gingrich going to claim he knows more than 16 U.S. intelligence agencies?
Are the legions of hysterical fearmongers and their associated airheads on Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS going to claim that they know more than 16 U.S. intelligence agencies?
Are any or all of the above going to take a page out of the book written by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and all the other unindicted war criminals from the previous administration and and claim they know more than 16 U.S. intelligence agencies by falsifying the evidence on Iran as they falsified the evidence on Iraq?
If so, will the American people let the warmongers get by with it this time as we let the warmongers get by with it the last time?
