NOTHING TO SEE, NOTHING TO SEE – AT 8:21 A.M. ET:  At least according to Field Marshal Obama and the Obama Singing Chorale.  But the fact remains:  Iran continues to build its nuclear program.  From ace defense reporter Bill Gertz at Washington Free Beacon: 

Iran is continuing to develop missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons despite an interim agreement on its nuclear programs, according to a Pentagon report.

“Although Iran has paused progress in some areas of its nuclear program and fulfilled its obligations under the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA), it continues to develop technological capabilities that also could be applicable to nuclear weapons, including ballistic missile development,” a one-page unclassified summary of the report says.

A copy of the report was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The report was due to Congress in January but was not sent to the Armed Services Committee as required by law until this month. Analysts said the delay appeared designed to avoid upsetting Tehran and the nuclear talks.

Disclosure of the continuing development of nuclear delivery capabilities comes amid reports that Iran increased the amount of nuclear material that could potentially be used to build nuclear weapons despite the JPOA.

The State Department sought to challenge International Atomic Energy Agency reports on the increase in Iranian nuclear material, despite President Obama’s claim that the nuclear agreement had halted Iran’s nuclear program.

COMMENT:  President Obama, who this last week took on the character of a P.R. guy for the Iranian regime, told us that the Iranians are sticking to every letter of their obligations.  (He did this while relentlessly bashing Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, America's ally.)

Obama sees a nuclear agreement with Iran as a key part of his legacy, no matter how bad or deceptive the agreement is. 

Countries don't develop long-range ballistic missiles to carry conventional warheads.  They are useful only as nuclear-tipped delivery systems. 

We're certainly in a great place, with great leadership, aren't we?
