Marie Harf / Daily Press Briefing
State.gov ^ | April 8, 2015 | Marie Harf

Posted on 04/09/2015 2:36:04 PM PDT by Dave346

QUESTION: I don’t – so you don’t think – you reject the Kissinger-Shultz line that political restraint and the nuclear issue should be linked?

MS HARF: What kind of political restraint do you think they’re referring to?

QUESTION: Well, this is what they’re talking about. They’re – I believe that they’re talking about Iran’s destabilizing role in places like Syria and places like Lebanon and places like Yemen --

MS HARF: Right. So we have always said that once you start linking the nuclear issue, which is complicated enough on its own, with all these other issues, it’s really hard to get anything done. And we need to deal with – I mean, they are right now at breakout time of two to three months. Ideally, yes, would we like them to stop supporting Hizballah? Would we like them to stop supporting the Houthi? Would we like them to release the Americans and have a better human rights record? Of course. They’re at two to three months of breakout time today. If we have a chance to increase that by up to six times with a nuclear agreement that doesn’t do all those other things we would want them to do, why would we not do that? It just defies logic to make that argument.

QUESTION: Well --

MS HARF: In a perfect world, of course, we would have an agreement that did all of these things. But we are living in the real world --

QUESTION: Yes.

MS HARF: -- and that’s the responsibility of the Secretary to negotiate where we can see if we can get this one issue dealt with. That’s how important it is.

QUESTION: That would not be the MTV Real World, right?

They are hoping to get on Iran’s good side before Iran gets nukes so that we will be buddies and Iran will play nice and not threaten or bully anyone because they love us so much.

the combined brain content of UN Amb Samantha Powers, Ntl Sec/Cncil's Susan Rice, State Dept's Marie Harf, and Jen Psaki, wouldn't fill a teacup.

If their brains were enriched uranium, they would not be a hazard to themselves?

Yes, that was in October 2013. After 5 years of Zero’s appeasement of Iran the Saudis decided they’d had enough and needed to send a message by rejecting the UN seat they had won.

This bimbette went to an ivy league school?
Sort of makes one wonder what special favors she preformed to get through that?
And the same question goes for how she got this job?

Frank was a lot of fun to be around, once you broke the barriers he set up! He wasn’t quick to make friends, but once he had sized you up, you had a friend!

Her sorority sisters are even embarrassed for Ms Harf.

Our entire national security team worse than the the JV.

I seriously doubt it. Envious more likely. Most of them are selling women's blouses at Forever 21 for 9 bucks an hour. Marie is making 6 figures in DC.

I’m sure they were elated when she hit the bigtime on the DC job circuit.

After Jan ‘17 she’ll move on to a lucrative career in providing beltway “access”.

The glasses make her LOOK smart, though. Well, smarter, anyway...

They're ridiculous - they make her look like a librarian in a porn movie.

The fact that she talks like a librarian in a porn movie doesn't help her very much, either.
