Come on guys, don't embarrass John Kerry in front of his cool Ayatollah friends.
If you won't think of the Ayatollahs, won't you think of John Kerry forced to retire back to his windsurfing tax-free Elba with his rich wife, too humiliated to negotiate with any more terrorists?
A congressional vote to undermine the Obama administration’s diplomatic negotiations with Iran would be a major setback for the United States on the world stage and personally humiliating Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday.Come on guys, don't embarrass John Kerry in front of his cool Ayatollah friends.
“I would be embarrassed to try to go out," Kerry said during remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations. “What am I going to say to people after this? 'Come negotiate with us.' 'Can you deliver?'"
“Do you think the ayatollah is going to come back to the table if Congress refuses this and negotiate this again?” he added.
John Kerry really wants Iran's Supreme Ayatollah to like him so he can get invited to all his cool "Death to America" parties. He's still haunted by memories of the time Russia wouldn't return his phone calls for a week or ask him to the prom.
Kerry's slip acknowledges that the entire facade of the "moderate" president is meaningless and it's the Ayatollah that matters. Also the Ayatollah hasn't actually approved the deal. But there's another angle.
John Kerry is whining that America will look bad if it pulls back from the deal now. But Obama had no problem violating agreements with Israel, Poland and Libya. Here's an example.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is denying that there were understandings between the Bush Administration and the Sharon and Olmert governments that limited natural growth of settlements but permitted some construction within agreed constraints.Nobody in Obama Inc. was embarrassed to violate a deal with Israel. And that was a deal in which Israel did its part by withdrawing from Gaza.
Today, Elliott Abrams, who headed the Mideast team at the Bush White House and participated in the key discussions with Israeli officials about the settlements freeze issue, weighed in with an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal stating forcefully that, "There were indeed agreements between Israel and the United States regarding the growth of Israeli settlements on the West Bank...principles that would permit some continuing growth....They emerged from discussions with American officials and were discussed by Messrs. Sharon and Bush at their Aqaba meeting in June 2003....The prime minister of Israel relied on them in undertaking a wrenching political reorientation -- the dissolution of his government, the removal of every single Israeli citizen, settlement and military position in Gaza, and the removal of four small settlements in the West Bank...For reasons that remain unclear, the Obama administration has decided to abandon the understandings about settlements reached by the previous administration with the Israeli government. We may be abandoning the deal now, but we cannot rewrite history and make believe it did not exist."
Kerry whines that he would be embarrassed in front of the Ayatollah if Congress rejects a deal that wasn't even finalized and in which Iran has yet to do its part.
But that's just where the priorities of this administration are.
The Ayatollah is a "cool" enemy of the United States whom Kerry wants to impress. Just like he wanted to impress the Viet Cong in Paris and the Sandanistas and Assad. But he could care less what allies like Israel or Poland think.
They like America. So they're not cool. There's no need for the administration's manchildren to impress them or win their approval.
