The term "deja vu" is French for "already seen" and describes the feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously.
The ever cheerful George Santayana stated that those who cannot learn from History are doomed to repeat it.
And so Mr Santayana is proved correct once again as the UN dismisses the intelligence on Iran's nuclear facilities provided to inspectors by US spy agencies.
The claims, spookily reminiscent of the intelligence fiasco surrounding the Iraq war,
about supposed secret weapons sites provided by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies have led to dead ends when investigated by IAEA inspectors, according to UN sources.
"Most of it has turned out to be incorrect," a diplomat at the IAEA said.
"They gave us a paper with a list of sites. We did some follow-up and went to some military sites, but there was no sign of banned nuclear activities".
Seems the leaders may not of learned anything but we have, we have especially taken on board that we cannot believe a word anyone associated with the invasion of Iraq is saying.
