That just it, he couldn't know anything. Which is why his comments are biased opinion, just as others at the time said exactly the same sort of thing. Those others certainly didn't know anything. It would not have been pertinent to the role of Ambassador to know anything of that nature. Let's face it, if Iran was previously determined to get weapon grade Uranium, that determination wouldn't suddenly stop.
If he had said something like "I'm puzzled by the President's decision, considering what we know for certain.", that would have been a different matter.

That is it. End Of. Any objections to what he said are just down to the political prejudices of the author.

So what inside FACTS did he know and express?
