Secretary of State John Kerry bewailed Sen. Charles Schumer's (D-NY) announcement of his opposition to the Iran deal as "profoundly misguided."
"I understand that Senator Schumer needs Jewish votes," Kerry observed. "What he doesn't understand is that his Jewish constituents are not the Jews Iran intends to wipe off the map. Iran has made it clear to me that it is targeting Zionists in Israel for extermination. Jews who are willing to leave Israel and Jews who live in New York are not their targets."
Kerry admitted that he "didn't totally disregard the possibility that some of the funds granted to Iran as part of the deal could be used to fund attacks on targets in America," but argued that "these attacks would likely be aimed at Americans, in general," and that "Jews would not be inordinately exposed to risks not faced by other non-Jewish inhabitants of our country."
The Secretary also insisted that war was the only alternative to accepting the deal. "GOP members of Congress like to assert that there are other measures short of war that might be taken," Kerry said. "But President Obama—the only person who is in a position to take action—says there is no other alternative. People should know better than to doubt this man. If he decides we go to war, we go to war. He will not wait on Congress to authorize the use of force. He didn't wait on Congress before deciding to take out Libya's Khadaffy. He's aggressively used drones to eliminate this country's enemies. So, if he says it's this deal or war, Congress had best take him at his word."

Is this really satire?
The word kerry has entered the Farsi language to mean “pompous gullible fool”. The word obama means “hidden comrade”. The word carter has long meant “dumb and foolish”.
