"Kerry Says ‘Nobody Has Ever Talked About Dismantling’ Iran’s Nuclear Program, But in 2013 Insisted Dismantlement Was The ‘Whole Point’ of Sanctions Regime"

The act of goal post moving has become and art form on the left.

Kerry is bad enough as Sec of State. Can you imagine if he had been elected President in 2004?

I believe history will declare Kerry the Neville Chamberlain of the 21st century.

Just assume that whatever anyone on the left says is a lie.

Then you're not constantly all stunned and amazed, surprised and outraged.

Unfortunately, the American people are tired of our serial foreign misadventures and their focus is on domestic issues.

So the Iran treaty will pass easily when our Congress [for all their dramatic protestations] kicks that can down the road though in this case the can is actually a ticking nuclear bomb in the hands of Iran's fanatical Muslim mullahs.

Kerry was ordered to secure Obama's legacy. In that he succeeded. That Iran is now guaranteed nuclear weapons? Incidental.

Eh, goal posts are moved. The gaslighting is claiming that they were always in their current location and never over there, despite the video evidence that they used to be over there. The pathetic part is that Congress already assured the Plan will pass and is now pretending that the new goal posts are unacceptable, despite accepting them months ago.

A lot work went into isolating Iran. I don't know that kind of work will ever be attempted again. It has done permanent damage to the idea that the world most dangerous weapons could be kept from rouge states, short of the use of force.

In short, Obama has made the world more dangerous for peaceful democracies.

Amartel said...

It's the fault of the Republicans, though.
That's how it'll be framed when those weirdos actually get a bomb.
Or that it was "inevitable," nothing anyone could do. Little Barry made the best of a bad situation by declaring defeat in exchange for (erm, nothing).

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Successfully keeping nukes from Iran could have set the precedent that there are some things, like nuclear proliferation, the world could unite behind.

All of that was thrown by the wayside, for nothing.

Didn't his fellow member of the Senate Morons Club, Al Franken, write a book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them"?

Goalposts? What goalposts?

nuclear proliferation

Horse left the barn, so Obama decided it best to just burn the barn down in case the horse ever came back.

Leland said...

The posts weren't deleted, just moved. to the left.

"Little Barry made the best of a bad situation by declaring defeat in exchange for (erm, nothing)."

When, not if, Iran goes nuclear as a result of this "deal," two things will happen: the United States, as leader of the free world, will be radically weakened; Israel will be mortally threatened. These two things have been passionately pursued by Obama from his first day in office. So this is great victory for Obama.

Come on, at this point what difference does it make? Geez guys, talk about making mushroom out of a mole hill.

Remember when progressives were scared of nuclear proliferation? It was madness, MADNESS, this nuclear brinksmanship, I tells ya. At the university I attended, the students made a big deal out of insisting that the infirmary stock "suicide pills" in case of a nuclear war so no one would linger unnecessarily. No, (one moment please, my facepalm is stuck in my eyeroll), I'm not making this up. Because everyone was just so ascairt of nuclear armageddon caused by right wing maniacs.
Good times.
