VIENNA — With the Vienna negotiations over Iran’s nuclear activities making halting progress at best and a deadline looming, the Obama administration announced Thursday that Secretary of State John Kerry would fly here this weekend to assess whether a deal is possible — and perhaps to begin negotiating an extension in the talks that both sides said they had wanted to avoid.
Mr. Kerry will be joined by the foreign ministers of several, but probably not all, of the other nations engaged in the talks, which include Germany, Britain, France, China and Russia. Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has been here since July 2, as all sides have haggled over a deal that can not only be agreed upon among themselves, but also has a chance of satisfying Congress and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Trying to have an intelligent conversation with Gigolo-boy is akin to having one with your car’s voice recognition system.
I hope the ditzy State spokesperson will be there with a change of clothes after Kerry gets undressed.
Rush Limbaugh used to refer to Jean-Francois Kerre` as “Lurch”, the butler character in “The Addams Family”.
Jean-Francois really DOES “lurch” from one crisis to another. And gives reanimated corpses a bad name.
Traitor John is on the case. Does everyone feel more secure?
Kerry is such a dullard. A 3 yr. old kid could take him on & win.
He is only doing this crap because he thinks he will run for president again.
These peaceniks are idiots. I couldn’t believe anybody but maybe Madeline Albright in the Clinton administration, could be so ineffectual in the seat of Sec. of State as Hillary Clinton was. But John “Horse Face” Kerry seems to be proving me wrong.
