Kerry on Iran talks: 'No deal is better than a bad deal'
Dylan Stableford, Yahoo News By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo News 34 minutes ago
Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States is in no rush to reach a deal to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program without being "absolutely certain" it's the right deal.
"President Obama has been crystal clear," Kerry said on NBC's "Meet The Press" Sunday. "Don't rush. We're not in a rush. We need to get the right deal. No deal is better than a bad deal. And we are certainly adhering to that concept."
Kerry's comments come on the heels of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's assertion that he won't be pushed into a deal.
Nuclear rights "in the international framework, including uranium enrichment, on its soil," Rouhani said, are not negotiable. "For us red lines are not crossable."
On Saturday, Rouhani and other Iran officials lashed out at France, saying the country's representatives for Israel.
"I'd say a number of nations, not just the French, but ourselves and others wanted to make sure that we had the tough language necessary, the clarity in the language necessary to be absolutely certain that we were doing the job and not granting more or doing something sloppily that could wind up a mistake," Kerry said.
"This is serious business," Kerry continued. "And I think every country came there. This is the first time that the P5 had come together with this kind of a serious set of possible options in front of it with a new Iranian government. Remember that this has changed since the election. This is a new overture. And it has to be put to the test very, very carefully."

Thank God the French were there to help us from ourselves.
” or doing something sloppily that could wind up a mistake,” Kerry said.”
Like obamacare? What a fool.
I thought bad deals were the forte of the dumBO regime.
OMG. Another proclamation of Obama “has been crystal clear.”
Kerry and Obama need a full-time carpenter just to cut off their ever-growing Pinocchio noses.
You can bet the farm on one thing and that is this.
If Obama and John Kerry have their way any deal will be a bad deal.
Neither one of them can tie their own shoes.
500 years from the punk POTUS” historic legacy will be one of being the person who allowed Iran to go nuclear,
,” Rouhani said, are not negotiable. “For us red lines are not crossable.”
How about this, Rouhani just called the President of the
United States, feckless and a blowhard.
But then WE knew that already.
Still you have to wonder if the White House even noticed...
“President Obama has been crystal clear,”
Thank God he didn’t break out the “laser-like focus”
Hey now, that’s Odumbo, wouldn’t want to slander
an innocent elephant. He does have big ears though...
Exclusive: Obama’s Secret Iran Détente

Long before a nuclear deal was in reach, the U.S. was quietly lifting some of the financial pressure on Iran, a Daily Beast investigation reveals. How the sanctions were softened.
The Obama administration began softening sanctions on Iran after the election of Iran’s new president in June, months before the current round of nuclear talks in Geneva or the historic phone call between the two leaders in September.

Now quoting Ronald Reagan. Kerry wanted this deal. It was the French who nixed it.
The problem is that Kerry’s idea of a good deal is a very bad deal in the minds most intelligent people.
Compared to Hillary! Kerry sounds absolutely statesman-like!
Don’t be fooled! :)
To bad he didn’t feel this way about our new federally mandated health tax.
The Latin adverb sic (”thus”; in full: sic erat scriptum, “thus was it written”)[1] added immediately after a quoted word or phrase (or a longer piece of text), indicates that the quotation has been transcribed exactly as found in the original source, complete with any erroneous spelling or other nonstandard presentation.
He’s using the words of Netanyahu - a real statesman - in an attempt to present himself as a wise “leader”.
Twist, spin, distort - and the uninformed (particularly, those who want to be led) are impressed and bleat their approval.
