That doesn’t make me trust them more. In fact, if we’re discussing how trustworthy the intelligence community is, “they willingly ran with bad intel and ignored good intel” is actually worse than “they’re incompetent.”
I don’t think we should be involved in Iran, but “the intelligence community said not to worry” doesn’t make my list of reasons why. Frankly, given the track record, I’d almost be more inclined to use this as a reason to be concerned.
Given that the only source that is saying Iran is seconds away from bombs is Israel and that Israel has never given good intelligence (they’re also claiming Iran was behind both assassination attempts on Trump) and they have also intentionally given us false intelligence (Iraq wmds, uss liberty, half of the intel we got on the ME) I’m willing to bet that they’re correct on this.
