Kerry Reportedly Files Request to Visit Iran

Sen. John Kerry has filed a formal request to visit Iran, Iranian news agencies reported Tuesday -- news made public in the middle of the government's bloody crackdown on dissidents that has left more than a dozen dead.

Sen. John Kerry has filed a formal request to visit Iran, Iranian news agencies reported Tuesday -- news made public in the middle of the government's bloody crackdown on dissidents that has left more than a dozen dead.

While representatives for Kerry have so far not confirmed whether he intends to travel to Tehran, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry said the country's parliament is already considering the Massachusetts Democrat's official overture.

The trip would come at a challenging time for the administration, as President Obama on Monday expressed support for Iranian protestors and condemned the government's "iron fist of brutality."

Fierce clashes in Tehran have left several protesters dead, including the nephew of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi.

If Kerry goes, it would be the first such high-level visit since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Fars News Agency and WashingtonTV reported Tuesday that the senator formally made the request to travel.

"The legislative officials are studying the case and they are in charge for providing a response," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said, according to one account.

Good.

Maybe the Iranians can demomstrate their rock-tossing techniques for the Purple Heart Medal Tosser - or better yet AT the Purple Heart Tosser.

We should file a request for him to stay in Iran.

Well at least the Rat-Bastard Traitor is going to “engage” our enemy publicly this time as opposed to when he sneaked into Paris during the Vietnam War and negotiated with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong which he admitted during his Senate Testimony and he (along with Jane Fonda) should have been tried for Treason.

john kerry.

As profane an utterance as I can spit out. Maybe if bats and spiders spewed forth from my lips as I vomited his name it could compete.

Other than that, its good.

More government waste. A taxpayer funded trip that will accomplish nothing but perhaps a propaganda score for the Iranian regime. Perhaps he should travel on his wife’s dime.

PLEEEAASE! Send him, let him be held hostage, then when they make demands for his returns, say, “Sorry, we don’t negotiate with terrorists.”

The average IQ of the U.S. Senate will rise significantly.

This is exactly the sort of message that the pro-democracy dissidents in Iran need at this moment.

Not.

"... it would be the first such high-level visit since the 1979 Islamic revolution."

At the exact point when the enemy is most vulnerable, American traitors emerge to prop them up. Cronkite and the Tet Offensive comes to mind. Fonda. Kerry.

Nice.

Maybe the Iranian government is going to use Kerry's forehead as a shield to defend them from the rock throwers. Lord knows that rocks won't hurt that forehead....

Kerry has three goals in mind for this trip. 1. Find an Iranian teenager that he can shoot in the back (just to relive the old Viet Nam glory days). 2. Search for a French speaker so he can show off and brush up. 3. Remind all Americans of why we didn't elect him president.

I suspect (but hope I'm wrong) that he's going to play..."Let's make a deal", the details of which could show that the current administration is not exactly dealing from a position of strength.

what a terrible time for diplomats in Iran to acommodate a pompous asshole like Kerry

If he’s there the US is gonna end up looking bad no matter what happens.

He should be told the US military is not gonna risk a single man trying to emergency-evacuate his bony ass
