After Diplomatic Disappointments, Iran Deal Vindicates Kerry

For John Kerry, vindication came at midnight.

As last Monday became Tuesday in Vienna, the U.S. secretary of state picked up the telephone in his first-floor room at the ornate, 19th-century Palais Coburg and dialed the White House.

We have a deal, Kerry told President Barack Obama.

After nearly 18 days of intense, often fractious and highly technical negotiations in the Austrian capital, he reported an agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. All that remained was cleaning up the written details, Kerry said, a task that would be completed in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Then, world powers and Iran would announce the accord to the world.

The call to Washington was a capstone to the kind of bold gamble that Kerry has relished since becoming America's top diplomat in 2013.

Careful, don't laugh yourselves silly.

Kerry wanted a deal. Even if he got nothing in exchange.

He wants a legacy. So it’s important when things go south he gets the full Chamberlain treatment.

[null and void]

Kerry Lied
Millions Died

He's going for a full billion this time!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Another “placed story” in the journalism world...

The Iran deal didn’t vindicate him, it confirmed he’s anti-America.

How long before Kerry wins the first annual Mushroom Cloud Award?

Our hero

[JohnBrowdie]

nothing vindicates kerry. he is khamenei’s party bitch, and it was time for booty call. put on your clean panties, johnny, the phone is ringing. it’s time to go.

I wonder if Kerry is aware of a muslim concept called taqiyya?

[Navy Patriot]

If the nuclear deal holds, those tears and the tortuous road to the Iran deal will leave Kerry a lasting diplomatic legacy.

In the more likely event that Iran double crosses the double crosser, Kerry's lasting legacy will radioactive black glass all over the Middle East at the minimum.

How long before Kerry wins the first annual Mushroom Cloud Award?

Two years?

Vndication

[Lurkinanloomin]

We have a deal, Kerry told President Barack Obama.

Death To America responded the _resident.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Mrs. Lee’s little Matthew sure isn’t very bright. She should have made him go to school.

[rockinqsranch]

This APPEARS as I predicted months ago. Now that Kerry is waving documents, and declaring peace in our time there will be in the near future a push by Democrats to have this great, seasoned, heroic Viet Nam Veteran diplomat declare his candidacy for POTUS.

Look out Hillary.

[jazusamo]

Lurch and Bambam are joined at the hip.

[Dqban22]

Obama/Kerry Orwellian vindication... treason is patriotic in Obamaland

[aposiopetic]

Seared, seared into his resume.

[mbrfl]

That’s like saying Chamberlain was vindicated when he returned home from Munich. The feeble mindedness of the media is staggering.

[peeps36]

The moronic stooge of king dumb-ass should have gotten off the plane waving a used piece of toilet paper while declaring peace in our time. Kerry makes Neville Chamberlain look like a genius.
