[edit]This article fails Wikipedia's neutrality when it refers to "Iran's pursuit of nuclear wapons" as an established fact. In fact, the article to which the phrase is hyperlinked contains substaltial information contradicting this position:
“ | In a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, the United States Intelligence Community assessed that Iran had ended all "nuclear weapon design and weaponization work" in 2003. In 2012, U.S. intelligence agencies reported that Iran was pursuing research that could enable it to produce nuclear weapons, but was not attempting to do so. | ” |
And even more recently, on 8th May 2014, Brigadier General (res.) Uzi Eilam, who for a decaded was the Director of the Israeli Nuclear Commission, expressed his opinion that Iran is at least 10 years away from a being able to develop a nuclear weapon if it decided to do so. [see Yediot Ahronoth.
In general, this article seems to contain only positive information about Andrew Krepinevich. It was Krepinevich who in 2006 proposed that the U.S. military focus on embedding U.S. troops with Iraqi units, noting that only 4,000 of the 140,000 troops lived, trained and fought at that time with Iraqi units. Given that Americans were intensely hated in Iraq, this policy led to the death of many soldiers. And in the case of Afghanistan it was a total disaster in terms of lives lost.
