Another Sophomoric Attack on Netanyahu by the Obama Administration

Yesterday the White House tweeted this chart defending the deal it is trying to reach with Iran on its nuclear program:

It is no accident this graphic closely resembles a chart used by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his September 2012 address to the UN General Assembly to illustrate how close Iran is to a nuclear bomb.

Putting aside the inappropriateness of the Obama administration’s continual mocking of the leader of one of America’s closest allies, the above chart is a fraud since it ignores the fact that Iran will improve its capability to make nuclear bomb fuel during a final deal since it will be permitted to
continue to enrich uranium and develop advanced uranium centrifuges.  As a result, President Obama confirmed in an April 7 NPR interview that the breakout time to an Iranian nuclear bomb will shrink “almost down to zero” in 13-15 years due to this deal.

The White House also left out how Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism and its meddling in the Middle East will increase due to the windfall it will receive when sanctions are lifted.

The Obama administration’s fraudulent chart tries to sidestep the dangerous downside of a final nuclear agreement with Iran while poking fun at Prime Minister Netanyahu.  This is another sign of a lack of adult leadership in the White House.
