Kerry says Iran may not be ready for final nuclear deal
2013-12-12
[Pak Daily Times] Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
 on Tuesday openly admitted that a hard-won nuclear deal with Iran may still fail in the coming months, as he faced a fierce grilling from US politicians seeking to impose new sanctions.

The top US diplomat helped hammer out the accord with Tehran under which it will freeze parts of its suspect nuclear program in return for some sanctions relief as global powers seek a final agreement to dismantle its atomic weapons capability over the next six months.

But he acknowledged to US politicians: "I came away from our preliminary negotiations with serious questions about whether or not they're ready and willing to make some of the choices that have to be made."

#5  We should not negotiate until the sanctions force them to offer change. But that requires tough leadership and intestinal fortitude.

#4   "I came away from our preliminary negotiations with serious questions about whether or not they're ready and willing to make some of the choices that have to be made."

Apparently his boss and the rest of the White House didn't.

#3  Why WHY are we "negotiating AT ALL with Iran? What possible reason would we have at ALL with negotiating with Iran?

Because our leader is so desperate for a legacy that he's willing to sacrifice Israel and the entire muddle east to get it. To him and his handlers it's a small price to pay.

#2  Do you ever get the impression that Kerry is gutless and so is the United States?

Can you spell W.I.M.P. ?

Why WHY are we "negotiating AT ALL with Iran? What possible reason would we have at ALL with negotiating with Iran?

Educate me/ Tell me WHY we have to negotiate with Iran? Because we are too weak and nadless to combine with our Ally Israel and take them down? Israel has more balls than the US.And they have the resources and size of New Jersey.

We don't have to go in and rebuild Iran after its over, no "nation building". Just trash them completely and thoroughly and leave it to smoke. Who would stop us? Russia? China? Egypt? IF we had any balls we would just laugh at them. Ergo,check your pants. You got what Kerry's got? 'Cause Kerry's got nuthin'.

#1  The US-Allies can't keep pretending to be B ****** about Iran + its NucProgs while covertly help Iran to become the world's first Islamic nuclear superpower.

And Iran, etal. will be Nukulaar [Nuke-armed] because OWG Globalism + its "Multipolar/
Polycentric", "Co-Superpower" agenda expressly denotes or infers PARITY ASAP AMAP ALAP, NOT INFERIORITY, AMONG THE GREAT POWERS + WANNABES.
