White House spokesman Josh Earnest looks on the bright side.
Pressed Tuesday by ABC’s Jonathan Karl about a New York Times report that Iran had increased its nuclear fuel stockpile 20 percent over the last 18 months of negotiations, Earnest reminded reporters the monitoring measures put in place were what allowed the U.S. to see Iran’s brazen behavior in broad daylight.
“But you don’t dispute their finding that they have a 20 percent increase in uranium fuel over what they had at the start of these negotiations?” Karl asked.
“Uh, no,” Earnest said.
“You’re not concerned about that, you don’t see this as a sign of Iran cheating or not complying?” Karl asked.
“In fact, the IAEA doesn’t see it that way either,” Earnest said. “I think first it’s important for us to note that the reason that we can verify the precise size of Iran’s nuclear uranium stockpile is because we do have these monitoring measures in place, and because of that monitoring we can verify their compliance with the agreement.”

“I can see Iran’s nuclear stockpiles from my house!”
does earnest not know that they are deep underground at this point???
it was my understanding that the iranians have dug in leterally and now store enrything Underground.
evidently earnest is psychic.. or something
I watch Pretty Boy Josh trying to BS his way through his daily messes and wonder how the guy gets out of bed in the morning. What an effed up job.
someone is flying the bird right in Obama’s face.
..... So .... what are we doing “Watching” Iran increasing their stockpile ..... instead of STOPPING them from doing it?
Yes, since it overturns the plain language of the US Constitution in Article II, Section 2: “He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; “
What has happened is that the Senate has amended the Constitution without the states. If this is allowed to stand, the Constitution is meaningless and we are on the slippery road to dictatorship.
you mean oversee it Josh.
