The end effect of the battle of Iraq, in which Iran has been our active enemy, has been to paralyze us. No historical accounting on the worth of the Iraq invasion can conclude it is a success having led to American turning a blind eye to the Iranian nuclear weapons program. A failure of incredible proportions.
Just 18% of American voters believe that Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 66% disagree and say Iran has not stopped its nuclear weapons program.

From Scott at Power Line:
The effect of the NIE puts me in mind of Churchill's words in Parliament condemning the Munich Agreement. Referring to the relief felt by the people of England to the temporary avoidance of war with Germany, he avowed that "they should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road[.]"
