| 2015-03-15 |
| [Iran Press TV] The US Secretary of State has blasted an open letter to Iran by Republican senators as "incorrect", saying Congress cannot revoke a possible nuclear deal with Iran. John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry 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... , speaking Saturday in Egypt, stressed that US President Barack Obama Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though.... has the power to implement any agreement reached with Iran, despite intense opposition from Republican politicians in Congress. "As far as we're concerned, Congress has no ability to change an executive agreement," Kerry told a news conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, where he was attending an economic conference. "From our point of view, this letter is incorrect in its statements," the top US diplomat said, adding that the American politicians were "wrong." An open letter signed last week by 47 Republican senators warned Iran that any nuclear deal may last only as long as President B.O. remained in office. The move was a highly unusual intervention in US foreign policy. |

| #12 Founding Fathers, no. They literally fought a war over it. The GOP, however, has no fight in them. Sic transit gloria mundi. |

| #11 So the Emperor can make any deal he wants with Iran, even if it's illegal or unpopular? I don't think the founding fathers would be that dumb. |

| #10 Kyoto redux. Does denying that the thing exists and has no meaning count as "changing" it? |

| #9 The Senate doesn't 'change' deals. It either ratifies or doesn't the package. See - Versailles Treaty. File under 'Too Big and Important to fail'. |

| #4 The Senators' letter was not incorrect - it did not say they could revoke the deal - it said the deal was only in effect for as long as the Executive chose it to be, and that could change in less than two (longggg) years. |

| #3 I suppose he is correct. The monarch must first be deposed. |

| #2 Those things have to be staged very delicately Chris. And timed just right. So the proper enemies can be blamed and the appropriate actions (martial law, suspensions of elections, etc...) and the media and talking heads need to be properly vetted, coached or threatened just right to set the appropriate narrative, |
