In an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg published Wednesday, an especially "feisty" Secretary of State John Kerry warned Congress that it better not "screw" the Iranian supreme leader.
If the U.S. Congress dared to thwart his Iran deal, said Kerry, the ayatollah would lose confidence in the U.S. and never return to the negotiation table:
"The ayatollah constantly believed that we are untrustworthy, that you can’t negotiate with us, that we will screw them,” Kerry said. “This”—a congressional rejection—“will be the ultimate screwing.” He went on to argue that “the United States Congress will prove the ayatollah’s suspicion, and there’s no way he’s ever coming back. He will not come back to negotiate. Out of dignity, out of a suspicion that you can’t trust America. America is not going to negotiate in good faith. It didn’t negotiate in good faith now, would be his point.”
Good grief!

More asinine shit from Kerry.
John Kerry told The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg that he doesn’t believe Iran wants to “wipe [Israel] off the map.”
Kerry said that President Obama’s proposed nuclear deal with Iran “is as pro-Israel, as pro-Israel’s security, as it gets.” The Secretary of State claimed he has reviewed the deal “backwards and forwards a hundred times… and I believe that just saying no to this is, in fact, reckless.”
Kerry also rejected the idea that Iranian leaders are actively seeking the destruction of the Jewish state, a popular belief among many Israelis.

Not to be outdone Obama links Iranian hard liners with the GOP.
Wednesday at American University in Washington, D.C., President Barack Obama spoke about the Iran nuclear deal and declared hardliners chanting “death to America” as the ones opposed to that deal and said they were “making common cause” with Republicans.
Obama said, “I recognize that resorting to force may be tempting in the face of the rhetoric and behavior that emanates from parts of Iran. It is offensive. It is incendiary. We do take it seriously. But superpowers should not act impulsively in response to taunts, or even provocations that can be addressed short of war. Just because Iranian hard-liners chant ‘death to America’ does not mean that that’s what all Iranians believe. In fact, it’s those hard-liners who are most comfortable with the status quo. It’s those hard-liners chanting ‘death to America’ who have been most opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican caucus.”Wednesday at American University in Washington, D.C., President Barack Obama spoke about the Iran nuclear deal and declared hardliners chanting “death to America” as the ones opposed to that deal and said they were “making common cause” with Republicans.

"The majority of the Iranian people have powerful incentives to urge their government to move in a different, less provocative direction, incentives that are strengthened by this deal. We should offer them that chance. We should give them the opportunity."
Hello
The Iranian people have NO SAY. Iran is not a democracy.
