Visionary?

This is ripe. From Daily Kos.


Rarely, if ever, has a single intelligence report so completely, so suddenly, and so surprisingly altered a foreign policy debate here.

An administration that had cited Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons as the rationale for an aggressive foreign policy
— as an attempt to head off World War III, as President Bush himself put it only weeks ago — now has in its hands a classified document that undercuts much of the foundation for that approach.

Not everyone was so wrong about Iran. There was one leader who warned that we had no evidence that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons, and that "running around like a madman with a blade in one's hand is not the best way to solve such problems." Unfortunately, that was
Vladimir Putin.
