Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 12, 2015 3:39 pm | Andrew Kugle

State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke claimed Friday that the “goal posts haven’t moved” in Iran negotiations as he struggled to explain the administration’s latest concessions.

The United States is in negotiations with Iran in regards to their nuclear program. During Friday’s press briefing, Rathke struggled to define what concessions or conditions were required for the Iranians to meet for a nuclear deal to be achieved.

Associated Press reporter Matt Lee pressed Rathke to clarify what the United States objectives are for the negotiations.

How do these people, these “spokespersons” live with themselves?

I understand that they have a job to do. A job that entails having the ability to lie, shift, rationalize and obfuscate.

Are they hired based on having these skills?

Do they promote themselves within their respective agencies as having those skills?

They have to know that they are being dishonest.

It’s called running out the clock...with Valerie Jarrett as the referee and time-keeper.

Someone please explain the end game for these SOBs?

Do they somehow believe that Iran will not use the bomb against the US or Israel or any other country in the region?

Do they believe that they will be heroes to Islamists and therefore immune to beheadings, stonings, or any other atrocity known to that culture?

Is there a big payday from Islamists at some point in the future?

Do they think they and their progeny will somehow not suffer radioactive fallout from a nuclear attack?

Do they think Allah (Satan) will reward them in Heaven (Hell)?

God help us from this evil administration.

Two simple questions that can sum up the “deal.” Is there anything we want that we’re actually getting? Is there anything the Iranians want that they are not getting? Never seen such a lopsided “deal” anywhere, at any time. The phrase “total capitulation “ comes to mind.

Possibly any information or access they get to Iranian sites will inform a bunker buster attack that immediately resets the clock on their capabilities? Dear God, I hope that’s what it is.
