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.
Obama’s 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.
This malignant Administration is not stupid. It is well aware of what it is doing, is proceeding at warp speed with it's plans to give Iran nuclear weapons, and it is doing it extremely successfully despite lots of resistance.
"Stupid" it is not. "Successful" should be the word as it is extremely successful in attaining it's goals of a nuclear armed Iran and a weakened United States and Israel doing it under the radar of deception.
The "stupid" moniker is applicable only for those chumps who actually believe and have defend the fairy tale that they are acting "stupidly".
They are not stupid in a political sense. They know how to win and destroy opposition. They are incredibly stupid when it comes to the real world. None of them know anything about the world outside their bubbles.
Just goes to show you they are good at dealing with their enemies, in fact running circles around them, the Republicans.
While I was typing this, perhaps I answered my own question. Perhaps the Obama voters were not stupid afterall. Perhaps they just hate America.
Stupid were those on our side who sat the 2008 and 2012 election out because they did not like the nominees. I will never forgive them
He couldnt succeed without the media. They do stupid things all the time.
Wisely for her.
The rest of us would be far better served if she were selling blouses.
How stupid is the Adminstration?
They’re not stupid.
They’re arrogant, pretentious, egotistical, preening, self-centered junior-high-schoolers who are frittering away the blood legacy left by soldiers who gave up everything for a system of government for which they have only contempt.
IMHO
