Secretary of State John Kerry cautiously signalled on Monday that the United States would be open to cooperating with Iran militarily in Iraq to beat back al Qaida-inspired fighters who pose an "existential" danger to that war-torn country and may look to target Europe and the United States.
“This is a challenge to the stability of the region. It is obviously an existential challenge to Iraq itself. This is a terrorist group,” Kerry told Yahoo News Global Anchor Katie Couric in an exclusive interview.
Prodded on whether the United States would consider cooperating militarily with Iran, Kerry replied: "Let’s see what Iran might or might not be willing to do before we start making any pronouncements."
But "I think we are open to any constructive process here that could minimize the violence, hold Iraq together, the integrity of the country and eliminate the presence of outside terrorist forces that are ripping it apart," the top U.S. diplomat told Couric.
"I wouldn’t rule out anything that would be constructive to providing real stability, a respect for the (Iraqi) constitution, a respect for the election process, and a respect for the Iraqi people to form a government that represents all of the interests of Iraq -- not one sectarian group over another," he said.

Are we really going to piss off the entire Sunni sect ( Saudi Arabia, Egypt, especially) by working with the Persian Shiites?
I would say that stooping that low is admitting failure.
“Kerry: US open to working with Iran against extremists in Iraq”
“Our Islamic extremists are better than your Islamic extremists.”
Just Saying.....
What about the extremists in Iran???
An observation, Obama chided Iraq for not reaching out to all sects, while they are being attacked and beheaded by an evil terror army.
Now he is welcoming in Shia Iran, another radical force, which certainly is NOT going to reach out to any Sunnis!
What a vile leftist bag of wind. We have in charge a liar, traitor and fool - Obama, Kerry and Hagel.
Another criminal (’why the long face’ John ‘Christmas in Cambodia’ efffin Kerry) being held up for deification by the dooooshes in the MSM.

Cantor lost because Virginians voted against the GOP-E Leadership: Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy and Ryan.
When Boehner is no longer Speaker the road is then cleared to force Obama to resign, as it is to late for a lengthy Impeachment of Obama.
The longer that We, The People tolerate Boehner as speaker of the House, the longer We, the People are guilty of tolerating Obama as our Taliban Mullah in Chief.

As someone who actually worked with the campaign, I find it fascinating that so many people are trying to find other reasons why Cantor lost. He lost because he wants to bring in huge numbers of foreign workers at a time when 21 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Dave Brat was the first recent GOP politician to defend the American worker and question the wisdom of bringing in so many foreign workers, legal and illegal. Brat attacked the Chamber of Commerce and the corporate class.
All Part of her plan....
When it’s Christmas time in Cambodia this year little Johnny won’t be there.
He’ll be in Iran making deals with another group of people who are trying to kill us.

Obama's Islamic Brain
The foreign policy failures of Emperor Zero and Hillary the Great have been so devastating, so tragic, so dangerous and so life threatening, that they are now forced to ask the Mullahs of Iran for help.
Not so.
The exit polls showed that Immigration was NOT the main factor in those voting against Cantor.
Is this the same John Kerry that served in Vietnam?
