This is black we said? No, now we say this is white. Just believe us. It is only what we say now that is correct.
On October 14 David Sanger "reported" on U.S. pressure on the IAEA to come out with a strong report against Iran: To Isolate Iran, U.S. Presses Inspectors on Nuclear Data
President Obama is pressing United Nations nuclear inspectors to release classified intelligence information showing that Iran is designing and experimenting with nuclear weapons technology. The president’s push is part of a larger American effort to further isolate and increase pressure on Iran after accusing it of a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States.
Today, three weeks later, David Sanger "reports" exactly the opposite. Now, allegedly, the U.S. is laid back and the IAEA is doing the pressuring: U.S. Hangs Back as Inspectors Prepare Report on Iran’s Nuclear Program:
An imminent report by United Nations weapons inspectors includes the strongest evidence yet that Iran has worked in recent years on a kind of sophisticated explosives technology that is primarily used to trigger a nuclear weapon, according to Western officials who have been briefed on the intelligence.
…
For its part, the Obama administration, acutely aware of how what happened in Iraq undercut American credibility, is deliberately taking a back seat, eager to make the conclusions entirely the I.A.E.A.’s, even as it continues to press for more international sanctions against Iran. When the director of the agency, Yukia Amano, came to the White House 11 days ago to meet top officials of the National Security Council about the coming report, the administration declined to even confirm he had ever walked into the building.
Which is it Mr. Sanger?
Three weeks ago Oceania, allied with Eurasia, was fighting Eastasia, now Oceania is allied with Eastasia and the enemy is Eurasia, as it has, according to Sanger today, always been.
That might be difficult to understand for people with an attention span of more than 20 seconds. But that must be their fault, certainly not that of the NYT and its propagandist David Sanger.
