PHASERS ON WEASEL !!
A completely incoherent attempt to justify the Obama Administration’s policy on Iran.
It’s no wonder he did so poorly on the hill…

We’re easing up on Iran to help Israel
We won’t let Iran get the bomb.
I PROMISE.
Also:
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
From BuzzFeed:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/republican-senators-slam-administrations-briefing-on-iran
Senator Bob Corker:
“I am stunned that in a classified setting when you’re trying to talk to the very folks that would be originating legislation relative to sanctions, to have such a lack of specificity — I feel I may get that over the next 24 hours in another setting, but it was solely an emotional appeal.”
Senator Mark Kirk:
“It was fairly anti-Israeli. I was supposed to disbelieve everything the Israelis had just told me, and I think the Israelis probably have a pretty good intelligence service.” He said the Israelis had told him that the “total changes proposed set back the program by 24 days.”
A Senate aide familiar with the meeting said that “every time anybody would say anything about ‘what would the Israelis say,’ they’d get cut off and Kerry would say, ‘You have to ignore what they’re telling you, stop listening to the Israelis on this.'”
“They had no details,” the aide said. “They had no ability to verify anything, to describe anything, to answer basic questions.”
Kirk also criticized Sherman, whose “record on North Korea is a total failure and embarrassment to her service.” Sherman was part of the U.S. negotiating team that focused on North Korea in the 1990s. “Wendy wants you to forget her service on North Korea,” Kirk said. “You shouldn’t allow her.”
“Today is the day I witnessed the future of nuclear war in the Middle East,” Kirk said, also comparing the administration to Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister who signed away the Sudetenland to Hitler’s Germany in 1938. “How do you define an Iranian moderate? An Iranian who is out of bullets and out of money.”
Democrats coming out of the meeting [who should be expected to support a president of their party] were tight-lipped, with Sen. Joe Manchin the only one who said anything further than “no comment.”
So, IN CONCLUSION, stop listening to the Israelis, shut up so we can bring Iranian crude on the market to lower world oil prices, and THROW ISRAEL UNDER THE BUS. If it weren’t for the Jews we’d have more oil by now.

“How do you define an Iranian moderate? An Iranian who is out of bullets and out of money.”
Great line!
“So, IN CONCLUSION, stop listening to the Israelis, shut up so we can bring Iranian crude on the market to lower world oil prices, and THROW ISRAEL UNDER THE BUS. If it weren’t for the Jews we’d have more oil by now.”
Kind of fits the course being followed by the sanctions regime. If I remember correctly, the next phase of sanctions would have severely limited Iran’s capability to sell crude on the world market. I guess that scared folks outside of Iran more than the Iranians themselves. Apparently, Kerry and Company ARE looking for a way out of further sanctions to head off a crude oil price spike. As a result, I don’t think Israel has been thrown under the bus just yet. They’ve only been moved to the back of the bus to make room for ‘big oil’.

Frankly I’m disappointed with the Democratic party as a whole.
Every last one of them voted for Obamacare. Every time an Iran sanctions bill passes the House (as the current one did 400-20 in July) the Democrats delay it several months in the Senate.
In Israel both the left and right are united now against a nuclear Iran.
Will the Democrats ever show the guts to oppose their radical leader on his disastrous policies, either at home or abroad?
Or will they continue to follow him off the cliff even now when he no longer faces reelection?

Kerry’s interview isn’t just incoherence, it’s endless lies as well.
Everything he says is backwards as he tries to justify his surrender to Iran’s terms.
His surrender kills any chance whatsoever of a peaceful resolution.
November 14, 2013 at 9:47 PM
LOL at the idiotic news anchors who kept agreeing with Kerry, interrupting with words like “exactly”, even as he spewed his nonsense.
The whole 9 minutes was a mixture of incoherence and lies.
He talks about how friendly things are between him and Netanyahu when they can’t even take photo ops together anymore.
And what was the 2 years of negotiations Kerry kept talking about? Obama has been in power 5 years. Rouhani has been president 3 months. Did Kerry just pull that number out of a hat???
So pathetic.
November 14, 2013 at 9:52 PM
I agree, Mark.
Watching that, “pathetic” was only word that occurred to me.
Any American who sees that should feel the same.
Or am I wrong and just projecting my own feelings?

JW,
There’s a reason that here in the US, FOX news now beats the COMBINED ratings of MSNBC, CNN, HLN, and CNBC in all parts of the day.

Those idiotic news anchors agreeing with Kerry’s ranting that made absolutely no sense isn’t going to help their ratings.
If Kerry wanted viewers to see him he’d go on FOX but the Democrats ignore that channel like the plague.
November 14, 2013 at 10:14 PM
Idiotic news anchors are the scourge of Fox as well as all the others.
I can’t watch any of it. It’s a waste of time and never fails to piss me off.
They’re pretty bad in Israel too, though there are a few notable exceptions that make watching occasionally worth while.

Honestly, I watched a good amount of Fox news channel back when Bush was president. The other cable news channels I stopped watching completely during that time,
Since 2009 I really don’t watch it anymore. I can’t stand to see Obama, Biden, Kerry, and the rest of the gang ruining America on TV all the time.
However I do plan to watch Fox news coverage again if and when the war we are eagerly anticipating actually begins. Will be interesting to see how much TV coverage they can get in Iran or Syria or Lebanon. Probably won’t be as many journalists there on the ground as there was in Baghdad 10 years ago.

You’re not wrong JW. We’re just are not heard. Too many Demon-rats control the media and have a bigger microphone than guys like us.

Help! The density of nonsense coming from Obama and Kerry has reached critical mass!
