CNS News<\/a> posted a story today about claims made by the Obama Administration about the interim agreement with Iran<\/a>. During the State of the Union Address<\/a>, the President stated, we have \u201chalted the progress of its nuclear program<\/a>.\u201d President Obama<\/a> repeated the claim in his National Security Strategy Report issued on Friday. I would love for that statement to be true, but it seems that I am not the only one with doubts.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a>\u2019s Fact Checker column examined<\/a> Obama\u2019s SOTU claim, and determined that it earned him \u201cthree Pinocchios.\u201d (On a scale of one to four Pinocchios, three are handed out for statements deemed to entail \u201csignificant factual error and\/or obvious contradictions.\u201d)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama claimed that progress in Iran\u2019s program had been \u201chalted\u201d as a result of the JPOA. But Post columnist Glenn Kessler<\/a>, citing non-proliferation experts, said that the amount of nuclear material in Iran\u2019s possession that could eventually be converted for bomb-making had in fact continued to increase over the 2013-2014 period.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It gets worse.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Instead of his SOTU address claim that \u201cwe\u2019ve halted the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of nuclear material,\u201d Kessler concluded that Obama could have said, \u201cWe\u2019ve slowed the progress of its nuclear program and reduced its stockpile of the most dangerous nuclear <\/strong>material.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut instead he choose to make sweeping claims for which there is little basis. Thus he earns Three Pinocchios.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hours after the White House<\/a> released the NSS on Friday, National Security Adviser Susan Rice<\/a> repeated the claim in a speech at the Brookings Institution<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
