The State Department accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of taking congressional testimony by Secretary of State John Kerry out of context in Netanyahu's address to a joint meeting of Congress Tuesday.
In a statement released early Wednesday, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki quoted in full an article written on the website FactCheck.org that claimed certain remarks made by Netanyahu about Iran's nuclear program "misrepresented what Kerry had said" in testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee Feb. 25.
In his address, Netanyahu said Kerry had disclosed that Iran could "legitimately possess" 190,000 centrifuges for the enrichment of uranium by the time a deal designed to restrict Iran's nuclear capability for a decade would expire. The Israeli leader, who referred to Kerry as "my long-time friend" in his speech, said that amount of centrifuges could put Iran "weeks away from having enough enriched uranium for an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons and this with full international legitimacy."
However, the FactCheck.org article circulated by Psaki noted that Kerry had only said that a peaceful nuclear power program could use that same number of centrifuges.
"[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," Kerry told committee members.

Gee....should I believe a ‘democrat?’.....or Bibi? Decisions...decisions
Valerie Jarrett wants her country to have nuclear weapons. 0bama is just trying to comply with her demand. It ain’t complicated.
Obviously, we’re too stupid to get the “nuances” here in what Kerry said...... (sarc/off)
So maybe Iran really only has 189,000 or maybe 192,000 at any rate I’m sure nobody knows for sure the precise number, they are just looking for any reason to stab at Israel.
They are some sick puppies; in the obama administration, democrat party and the MSM; whatever their illness is, however you want to describe it; it’s contagious, deadly and needs to be eradicated.
I guess they think that the rubes do not recognize a “distinction without a difference” when we see one.
Yet another fail.
