State Dept. Nitpicks Netanyahu speech (Jen Psaki defends Iran having 190,000 centrifuges)
WND ^ | 7 hours ago | Cheryl Chumley

The U.S. State Department hunkered into defense mode after Benjamin Netanyahu’s congressional speech, saying in an early Wednesday statement that the Israeli prime minister misrepresented one of his claims that painted Secretary John Kerry in a poor light.

Jen Psaki, spokeswoman for the State Department, referred to the website FactCheck.org to make her point that Netanyahu’s remarks about Iran going nuclear actually “misrepresented what Kerry had said’ during the secretary’s House Foreign Affairs Committee testimony on Feb. 25, Fox News reported.

In his speech, Netanyahu said Kerry told Congress Iran could “legitimately possess” up to 190,000 centrifuges used to enrich uranium by the time the 10-year nuclear limits spelled out in an emerging U.S.-Tehran nuclear deal expired. Netanyahu said such amount would put Iran just “weeks away from having enough enriched uranium for an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons and this, with full international legitimacy.”

Psaki sent out the FactCheck.org article, however, to prove that Kerry had actually told Congress that 190,000 centrifuges could also be used for peaceable purposes – that the amount was not necessarily proof the nation was developing nuclear weapons.

His actual words to Congress in February, Fox News reported: “[I]f you have a civilian power plant that’s producing power legitimately and not a threat to proliferation, you could have as many as 190,000 or more centrifuges.”

As my high school western civilization teacher used to say during class recitation in 1965: when the blind lead the blind they all fall in the ditch. He must have known something about this bunch.

If Iran has 1 (one) (1.0) centrifuge, that would be too many. In a country awash in oil, it is indicative of a wipe-out Israel off the map plan of action.

Iran to Jen Psaki: Thank you and your Boss for the continued lobbying efforts. The checks are in the mail.

“[I]f you have a civilian power plant that’s producing power legitimately and not a threat to proliferation”

You don’t build a double-secret facility veiled by a secret facility, both buried deep underground with feet-thick armor, for “legitimate civilian power” development purposes.

The pompous narcissists at the State Department and the sycophants that blindly support the delusional Obama are simply not capable of understanding a man like Netanyahu. Netanyahu not only understands history but he lives it. He is the secular leader and defender of the Jewish people. In the 1920’s German Jewish leaders had the power and means to terminate Hitler and his thugs. Tragically for the world, they did not. Netanyahu is determined not to make the same mistake. He fully understands the existential threat that Islamic jihadism is not only to Israel and jews but to Western civilization. Incredibly he must cope with a delusional, bizarre President who is intent on negotiating an agreement with lunatic ,”death loving” mullahs that will result in them becoming nuclear armed.
It would seem extreme to state that this conflict between Obama and Netanyahu is a critical juncture for Western Civilization. Yet if Obama achieves his goals and sought after “fundamental transformation”, the West, not just Israel, faces catastrophe.

Well .. I suppose it’s possible she doesn’t know that you can have nuclear power WITHOUT having to enrich uranium.

YOU DON’T NEED CENTRIFUGES to enrich uranium UNLESS YOU WANT TO BUILD A BOMB.

It gets to the point saying these folks are idiots, is just a waste of time. And yes, they are idiots.

We need a good man in the White House who can demand these people be let go, and replaced by people who care more about the United States and it’s interests over the interests of other nations, or ideologies foreign to our own.

USA is Iran’s Great Satan number one target. When they hit us, and assuming any of us are still here, obama will appoint a commission of political hacks and otherwise unemployable professors to study why the poor iranian islamoNazis nuked us. The result will be that American conservative bible-,humpers prevented obama from giving them obamacare and free tickets to the east Pittsburg jobs faire. Oh yea, global warming will also be cited at fault. Obama will then bow down real real low to the mullahs and beg thrir forgiveness
