    Probably. Since I haven’t seen the original report, can’t say what was in it. Can only go with what was reported which indicated a preliminary report which had low confidence that not much impact to the nuclear program. The media then chose to spin it for a certain political agenda. As time goes by there will be more information discovered as part of the BDA. Some of that information is starting to come out which disputes the narrative that to original story tried to drive.

    im sure there’s a lot of discussions ongoing on whether some aspects that would normally be classified to be released. In the big picture I do not think that would be a wise decision.

    The report is real. It is a report that DIA is supposed to do. Whoever leaked the info to CNN and the other outlets probably did not give them the actual report but just the gist of it.

    Bertrand never actually served in the IC and does not understand how it actually works, so she probably never heard the difference between Phase 2 and Phase 3 BDA until Tuesday. She has a history of being easily led by her sources.

    She asked a straightforward and important question. Odd how this administration refuses to answer difficult questions.

    I didn’t hear the entire presentation, maybe he mentions the results instead of repeating ‘obliterated’ on rote.

    Didn’t go over well with some long time Fox News folks.
