Kerry Defends Deal with Iran
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 29 Nov 2013 | John Semmens

Posted on 11/30/2013 10:47:25 AM PST by John Semmens

Amidst concerns that the US may have yielded too much in order to reach an agreement with Iran, US Secretary of State John Kerry stridently defended his achievement saying “we drove a hard bargain.”

“First, let me point out that this is the first agreement this country has reached with Iran since the Shah was overthrown in 1979,” Kerry boasted. “This is more than the five Administrations between then and the current Obama Administration have been able to accomplish.”

“Second, the amount that we have to pay Iran to refrain from developing a nuclear weapon is very reasonable,” Kerry argued. “In my mind, there is no upper limit to what we should be willing to pay to avoid a nuclear war. The fact that Iran settled for a mere $8 billion is an unbelievably low price.”

“Third, at a moment when many Americans are disturbed and disgruntled over the misfortunes attending the roll out of the Affordable Care Act, this agreement is a real morale booster for the average person,” Kerry contended. “Polls are showing that three-fourths of those surveyed support this deal.”

Fear that Iran cannot be trusted was brushed aside by the Secretary. “The leaders of Iran gave me their solemn word,” Kerry said. “Even in the event that this proves to be unreliable, the first victim of an Iranian attack will almost surely be Israel. So, in that regard, we’d still have a ‘trip wire’ before we had to face hostile action.”

Amateur Hour at the White Hut continues — first, the dipsh#ts trumpet about the great deal; next, the Iranians say, great, we will continue as before; the Occupation Regime responds with, hey, the six months hasn’t even started yet and the deal hasn’t been finalized after all. The reason it’s difficult to satirize the Kenyan and his cadre is they’re so destructive it isn’t funny, and of course, satire depends in part on reductio ad absurdum, which is basically impossible with the Demwits in charge.

John, how about a satire on the sorority that seems to be running the state dept. Every time I see a spokesman for State, it’s a young female. How in the h*ll can the Shiites respect us when we put these young girls out there representing our foreign services?

Right to question the ketchup-faced giggolo’s maneuvers as a simple-minded secretary of state! I am so sick of this administration that I want to puke!

"...we drove a very hard bargain..."

I imagined this conversation when I saw this the other day:

KERRY: "If you just promise us you won't build a nuclear weapon, we will give you a billion dollars."

IRANIAN DIPLOMAT: "No."

KERRY: "Stop now, and we will give you two billion dollars."

IRANIAN DIPLOMAT: "No."

KERRY: "If you just promise us you won't build a nuclear weapon, we won't even try to send in inspectors, and will shutter all of our satellites, ground our U2 radiation detecting aircraft and we will give you three billion dollars."

IRANIAN DIPLOMAT: "Not interested."

KERRY: "My God. How about if we won't even try to send in inspectors, and will shutter all of our satellites, ground our U2 radiation detecting aircraft, and apologize for every evil misdeed you have accused our nation of since 1776 and we will give you four billion dollars.? "

IRANIAN DIPLOMAT: "Nope."

KERRY: "How about this...you just SAY you won't build one. That's all. We don't care if you do or don't. And we will even put pressure on Israel not go bomb your plant, and deny them every single bit of intelligence or support that might help them, even if you launch a nuclear strike on them with the weapons you just SAY you won't ever develop, and we will give you 4.3 billion dollars! Take it or leave it, THAT IS OUR FINAL OFFER! "

IRANIAN DIPLOMAT: "Hm. And all I have to do is smile, walk in front of a microphone at a press conference, wink at you with your knowledge and my knowledge that I wlll practice taqiyya like any good muslim should, and say we won't build a nuclear weapon, you won't even check to see if we do, and you give us 4.3 Billion dollars. That's it?"

KERRY: "Yes."

IRANIAN DIPLOMAT: "Well, I know I shouldn't, but...I guess in the interest of a better world, I agree to your demands! You drive a very hard bargain!" (shakes hands with Kerry)
