If you ever find yourself at a poker table in a casino and John Kerry is sitting across from you, count it as your lucky day. He doesn't bluff, he fears your hand is better than his, and he folds like a cheap wallet. You will take him for all his heiress wife is worth.
Reports coming out of Switzerland say that Kerry has backed down over the course of the talks while Iran took him to the cleaners. If the game was strip poker, Kerry would be down to his codpiece and one sock.
The Wall Street Journal cited current and former U.S. representatives that took part in the talks, who claimed that Obama had hope to persuade Iran to take most of their nuclear infrastructure apart when talks initially began in 2013. Iran told the Obama administration where to stick their plan, flatly refusing to do so.
Iran has bigger plans for their nuclear program, those that involve something the Iranian diplomat referred to as "our moon shot," a reference to the U.S. space program back in the 1960s, and a symbol of Iranian national pride like the moon shot was for us.
So, with a tear trickling down his long cheek, Kerry simply couldn't deny Iran anything they wanted. "You had me at 'moon shot,'" he sniffed. Ten minutes later, the tear reached his chin and fell to the floor.
Everything after that, the WSJ reported, the U.S. accepted the notion that any deal on the table would probably enable Iran to go on enriching some uranium to produce nuclear fuel (which they need like an Eskimo needs ice cubes). So we turned the focus on trying to extend Iran's "breakout time" which is the minimum amount of time that Iran would need to produce a nuclear weapon.
In other words, after all these years of keeping Iran in check on the nuclear front, Obama is accepting the idea that Iran is going to go nuclear and we are not going to stand in the way of an Islamic nation getting what it needs.
To recap, we have basically stopped all sanctions that were working before starting to negotiate. Nothing we have framed will stop a nuclear buildup in Iran. The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, just a few days ago joined the chorus in shouting "Death to America," and "Death to Israel." The dude even tweeted out "9 ways to annihilate Israel." Then he listed them.
Still, we are dealing with these terrorists.
The total annihilation of Israel is not off the table for Iran, and they said so right out in the open. Still, we are dealing with these terrorists.
Other nations in the Middle East, the most dangerous region in the world, are now going to race for a nuke because they don't trust Iran. Count on the Saudis and Jordan to get those centrifuges spinning.
But still, we are dealing with these terrorists and it seems that we are playing with the tail of an alligator.
The talks have yet another deadline, June 30th, but if I were Iran negotiating with Kerry, I'd ask for June 31st as the deadline and he would probably agree to it.
