OOPS!

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger hammered John Kerry in 1985 for interfering in diplomatic negotiations with Nicaragua’s Marxist government as a Massachusetts senator.

Thirty years later, Kerry is skewering Senate Republicans for their open letter to the Iranian leadership warning that any nuclear deal with the United States without the advice and consent of the U.S. Congress would not last beyond President Obama’s term.

John “the hypocrite” Kerry strikes out.

Left pretty excited Ayatollah Khamenei backs them up on hate of GOP letter

The American left, which has a very short memory, is all in with the talking point that Republican senators are TRAITORS!!! for signing a letter that reminds Iran no agreement with Obama is binding if he doesn’t submit it to the Senate for ratification, which of course he won’t.

They’re a little confused of course. The actual meaning of treason is that you betray your country. They think it means refusing to support Barack Obama in his quest to give a terrorist state the bomb in a manner completely outside the processes proscribed in the Constitution. Maybe someone should explain that to them.

But they would rather appeal to an authority like Iran’s Ayatollah Khameiei, because we all know there is no one whose judgment you can trust like an Iranian ayatollah:

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the ultimate authority on all Iranian matters of state, added at a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani and senior clerics that whenever negotiators made progress, the Americans became “harsher, tougher and coarser”.

The letter signed by 47 Republican senators warned Iran that any nuclear deal made with U.S. President Barack Obama, a Democrat, could last only as long as he remained in office - an unusual intervention into U.S. foreign policy-making.

The White House has described the letter as “reckless” and “irresponsible,” saying it interfered with efforts by six major powers to negotiate with Iran on a deal to prevent it from building a nuclear bomb.

Mehr quoted Khamenei as saying: “Of course I am worried, because the other side is known for opacity, deceit and backstabbing.

“Every time we reach a stage where the end of the negotiations is in sight, the tone of the other side, specifically the Americans, becomes harsher, coarser and tougher. This is the nature of their tricks and deceptions.”

The clerical Supreme Leader said the letter was “a sign of the decay of political ethics in the American system”, and he described as risible long-standing U.S. accusations of Iranian involvement in terrorism.


So nice of Ayatollah Khamenei to helpfully point out the flaws in American democracy, seeing as how it works so freely and liberally in Iran. Oh wait . . .

It doesn’t matter to the American left. They have an apoplectic seizure whenever Obama is challenged, and if someone will help them make the case that criticizing Obama amounts to treason, they’ll take the help. They don’t care where it comes from.

Also, note something about this whole idea of opposition members of Congress undermining presidents on foreign policy. We’ve talked at length in recent days of all the examples of Democrats doing this in the past to Republican presidents, particularly with respect to Nicaragua in the ‘80s and Iraq during the ‘00s. You’ll also recall Nancy Pelosi’s famous trip to Syria in the waning years of the Bush Administration.

One thing you’ll recognize: When Democrats undermine the foreign policy of a Republican president, they’re always in alignment with America’s enemies. In this case, Republicans are undermining a Democrat president’s attempt to give one of America’s enemy the bomb.

That’s what really matters here. Opposition policies always oppose the presiden’t policies. That’s not treason. That’s democracy. What you should really pay attention to is on whose behalf they do so.

Flashback: the sewer rat spammer who created this thread was cheering this on:

If President Bush won’t end the war in Iraq, when I’m president, I will.”
The New York Democrat also said she supports talking with Iran and Syria about Iraq.
“I applaud Speaker Pelosi,” she said, when asked about California Democrat Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Syria, despite objections from the White House.
Mrs. Clinton declined to say whether she would support a bill cutting off funding for troops in Iraq if Mr. Bush vetoes the current Senate supplemental-funding bill, which includes a timetable for withdrawal.

I did?? Where and when did I support it Lying Ace? And what exactly did I support, Lying Ace? Please show me, Lying Ace. While you're at that, which you'll obviously ignore, please answer what Political Party was Donald Sterling in Lying Ace? And show when Vit posted in Poly during his year long self ban, Lying Ace? And how many times did Frazier Glenn Miller/Cross run as a Democrat, Lying Ace. Just more Lying Ace Lies that Lying Ace ignores. That's because you're a Lying Liar, who Lies. ALOT.

Where did I "whine about bipartisanship". This is why I can't talk to you. As I said yesterday, you're either dishonest or irrational. Lately, it seems like both. You're as difficult to deal with as Guesser.

Med time. I'm extremely easy to deal with. When the person dealing with me is rational, sane, and actually wants to deal instead of troll.

Well, Lindsey Graham and Bob Corker seemed to think it would. I tend to think they have a better pulse on where the Senate Democrats stand than you and Joe.

Nonsense. If the Democrats had the slightest inkling for any bipartisanship they would have overrode Obama’s veto on Keystone XL.

Really?

You just don’t have an answer as to why the didn’t override Obama’s veto so you say we’re talking about Iran.

Lame ass response. ##)


You know, I'm not that old...but maybe my life has been too short to remember even one time where dimocraps reached across the aisle and conceded something to R's, or even worked with them for that matter. I could spend all day listing examples of the inverse scenario of R's making deals with dimocraps never holding up their end of the bargain.

Anyone care to tell me the last time dims caved in to R demands?

Cover his ass for what?

They don't have the votes, so they sent the letter instead.

Makes sense?

No, Joe. It doesn't make sense because all that letter did was give you a woody. It didn't accomplish anything in the real world. They should've continued to work on the veto-proof majority. Not some childish letter. Corker, Flake, etc. agree with me.

Veto-proof won't mean bupkus since the Kenyan will simply ignore Congress no matter what they do. He's going to try and legitimize his Act of Surrender through the UN removing Congress from the picture. Same with his "climate change" bullshit.

Sabotage is the only the option when you're dealing with a dictator. Actually, there are better options, but I won't mention them in a public forum.

You're way too naive.

If you want to call me naive that's fine. I respectfully disagree with the wisdom behind this letter as well as its effectiveness. Enjoy the rest of your day and the weekend.

You have to go back to the O'Neill and Reagan era. They hated each other but made it work.

That was 33 years ago.
