US team negotiating with Iran 'insulted' by accusations of politics (over Congressional deadline)

VIENNA -- Speaking to a small group of reporters here in Vienna on Tuesday, one senior administration official said it was "ludicrous" that the team— after engaging in such an intensive, near-constant slog— would force movement on key issues at the very end of that effort.

"Quite frankly, when people say that we’re rushing to an agreement, I find it somewhat insulting," the official said, "to me, to the team, and to the secretary and to the president."

They have become one big, happy family. "And that’s really true," the official said, "because we have seen more of each other than our actual families."

Some of that criticism has come from media pundits, and Israel's government has called for an extension of the talks if one will secure a "better" nuclear deal. But much of the critique has come from Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are expecting a final document in their hands by July 10.

Before that date, Congress will have 30 days to review any final nuclear agreement. Beyond it, they will have 60 days.

"There is no push from Congress to conclude negotiations in the next few days," House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Ed Royce (R-California) said in a statement on Tuesday. "The only one pushing to get this done quickly– and reduce congressional scrutiny– is the Obama administration."

Their ‘righteous indignation’ is laughable. Even the Dems are frightened by what Kerry, et al, may give up. STOP THIS NOW! IRAN WILL NEVER ABIDE BY ANY ‘RULES”.

This is what left-wing incompetents always do when the jig is up and there are no more excuses left to make.

They get all huffy and start screaming that they are “outraged” that anyone would dare accuse them of being absolute boobs.

At least, they are not insulted by being traitors.

When caught, use the “offended” tactic and word, which has nothing to do with the subject at hand buT with personal attacks. The State Department is incompetent.

Good. It is intended to be very insulting, you low-life Chamberlaine Quisling wannabes.
