In the Persian bazaar, it's always wise to count your fingers after the handshake.
Or naive. Or, let’s face it, evil. It appears that we have an entire administration of expensively credentialed plutocrats, without the slightest clue how the world really works. Bibi Netanhayu gave his “good friend” John Kerry a hint yesterday when he referred to Iran as a “Persian bazaar,” where the hondeling is part of the fun and cheating is the name of the game. And now here come the Iranians to prove it!
Iran rejected on Tuesday as “unacceptable” U.S. President Barack Obama’s demand that it freeze sensitive nuclear activities for at least 10 years but said it would continue talks on a deal, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported. Iran laid out the position as the U.S. and Iranian foreign ministers met for a second day of negotiations and as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a stinging critique of the agreement they are trying to hammer out.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met a day after Obama told Reuters that Iran must commit to a verifiable halt of at least 10 years on sensitive nuclear work for a landmark atomic deal to be reached. ”Iran will not accept excessive and illogical demands,” Zarif was quoted by Fars as saying.
When dealing with anybody named “Mohammed” in that part of the world, it’s always wise to count your fingers after the handshake, but our intrepidly idiotic secretary of state plunges ahead, willing to absorb any humiliation for the sake of his boss, who’s still licking his wounds after yesterday beating by Bibi.
Obamas stance … is expressed in unacceptable and threatening phrases,” he was reported as saying, adding that talks with Kerry in Switzerland would nonetheless carry on.
The aim of the negotiations is to persuade Iran to restrain its nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions that have crippled the oil exporter’s economy, thereby reducing the risk of war over the protracted dispute. The United States and some of its allies, notably Israel, suspect Iran of using its civil nuclear program as a cover to develop a nuclear weapons capability. Iran denies this, saying it is for peaceful purposes such as generating electricity.
Speaking before the U.S. Congress in Washington, Netanyahu warned Obama against accepting a nuclear deal with Iran that would be a “countdown to a potential nuclear nightmare” by a country that “will always be an enemy of America”.
But of course the Iranians will carry on — they’re getting everything they want. As I pointed out in this space nearly two weeks ago, the whole point of these “negotiations” is to give Iran a legitimate path to the bomb within ten years and probably a lot sooner, as in tomorrow — a point the Israeli prime minister made in his speech to Congress yesterday. And if Congress won’t oblige by ratifying whatever bad deal Barry Hussein & Co. come up with, well… there’s always executive action to make sure Valerie Jarrett’s Islamic friends get what they want.

Defense secretary: Mistake to have blurted out Mosul offensive plans
Fox News ^ | March 04, 2015
No wait - is this a trick question? ;’)
PFS.
As stupid as they are they still manage to outsmart Boehner and McConnell on a regular basis. Pathetic, isn't it?
Stupid? No.
Devious is more apt.
Subterfuge is better.
Treason is what it is.
I wouldn’t say “stupid” per se. I’d say rabid, doggedly ideological, completely racist, xenophobic outside anything not-Muslim, anti-American, legitimately academically unskilled and uneducated, narcissistic, paranoid, completely anti-capitalist, anti-freedom, vengeful, petty and infantile. But not necessarily “stupid”. We have to see the transcripts first.
Unchallenged by the Republicants.
On that point, I won’t disagree....unfortunately.
..what ever stupid wants stupid gets
You could add DECEIPTFUL.
That word means “on purpose”. You deceive on purpose.
It is Hillary’s middle name.
Can’t stand to listen to him much, but Hannity as of last night is still astounded and outraged by the Fraud’s “incompetence”.
As bad as or worse than refusing to recognize radical islam as a threat to our country, is refusing to recognize Hussein’s behavior for what it is.
Stupid, no. Evil, yes.
You have to give Marie some credit.
Coming out of IU-Bloomington with a poli sci degree, her two career options were selling blouses at Forever 21 for 9 bucks an hour, or making 10 grand a month at the State Dept.
I believe she chose wisely.
William of Ockham’s tool for measurement would show this administration to be Moslem rather than stupid.
Mega Stupid!
There was no “mistake.” There was a reason. These things do not happen as mistakes.
