With an end-of-March deadline days away, Secretary of State John Kerry is heading back into negotiations with Iran, hoping to seal a framework deal to roll back its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Speaking Wednesday morning to U.S. ambassadors, Kerry assailed opponents of a deal.
"What happens if, as our critics propose, we just walk away from a plan that the rest of the world were to deem to be reasonable?" Kerry asked. "Well, the talks would collapse. Iran would have the ability to go right back spinning its centrifuges and enriching to the degree they want... And the sanctions will not hold."
Kerry said the whole point of years of U.S. sanctions was to get Iran to agree to limits on its nuclear program. He said it was the Obama administration's job to "provide an agreement that is as good as we said it will be; that will get the job done; that shuts off the four pathways to a nuclear weapon."
The alternative to diplomacy could mean Iran is left to "just expand its program full-speed ahead," Kerry said. "You know we can't accept that. So where does that take you? Anybody standing up in opposition to this has an obligation to stand up and put a viable, realistic alternative on the table. And I have yet to see anybody do that."

Wonder if he joins in the death to America chorus.
He’s always flying to some exotic location. Kerry’s life story holds promise for ambitious youths wanting a jet-set lifestyle. Join the military, slander your brothers in arms, run for senate in a liberal district, slander America, lose a run for the presidency.

Typical response of a poor negotiator. During his years of opposition to the Vietnam war it was SOOOOO easy to be an armchair critic as he was & now all he can offer is a poor deal as a wonderful deal since he tried so hard with is skills! Some learn others will never.
“Wonder if he joins in the death to America chorus.”
Joins? Kerry is the cantor.
Are these people _____ing retarded? Yes.
I sure hope he brought James Taylor along.
Kerry, tryingt be Count Metterprick.
Golly. I hope he took along a family-size bottle of lube.
Did he bring his bicycle?
