I can only offer a guess based upon prior experience with this administration. Bush has lost credibilty, not only among most of the populace, but more importantly among the Pentagon and Intelligence services. The forced exposure of the NIE, which Bush continues to minimize, was the first direct confrontation with whatever policy Bush has in dealing with Iran.
roachboy, most of what this administration has tried to push forward has always been poorly done and quite obvious in hind sight. With seven years of experience, most of the "terror" fear he continues to promote has become almost laughable to those paying attention.
This was indeed poorly executed, but look how many people in the press and here at tfp were caught up in the imagined "threat".
