The National Intellegence Estimate is Wrong AGAIN

Two weeks before the Cuban Missie Crisis the NIE said:

"The USSR could derive considerable military advantage from the establishment of Soviet medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in Cuba, or from the establishment of a submarine base there. . . . Either development, however, would be incompatible with Soviet practice to date and with Soviet policy as we presently estimate it."

Special National Intelligence Estimate 85-3-62, Sept. 19, 1962


They were wrong then, and they are wrong now. In fact the NIE reports have been wrong a great deal.

You can read all about it here.

And the left rejoiced when they read this NIE. The right looked at it with suspicion. The left had a party. You can put away the paper hats now, Left. It's all male bovine excrement.
