What Howard Dean gets right about Iran
Washington Post ^ | April 1, 2015 | By Jennifer Rubin

The Hill reports:

Former Gov. Howard Dean (D-Vt.) on Wednesday said the Obama administration should leave Iran at the bargaining table and stop pursuing a deal over its nuclear program.

“Obama is right to try to get a deal,” Dean told a panel on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “[But] I’m worried about how these negotiations have gone.” . . . “These guys are desperate to get rid of the sanctions,” he added, pointing out Tehran’s hunger for immediate economic relief.

Dean is a card-carrying member of the liberal Democratic establishment, so if he can say this, why can’t Hillary Clinton? In speaking out, Dean not only highlights Clinton’s lack of political courage and claim to independence but also suggests a pathway for Democrats who want to challenge her. (Dean himself might give it a try.)

A figure such Dean or former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley could certainly win over the base by running to Clinton’s left on everything from taxes to single-payer health care to climate change. . .

I have been waiting for someone to make the obvious observation on this subject. A caller to Rush sounded today like he might be going there but I think he stopped short.

Iran + Kerry = Obama + Republicans

Iran is “negotiating” with Kerry EXACTLY like Obama did with the Republicans and Kerry is reacting EXACTLY like the Republicans have.

When they come to an “agreement” Obama/Iran accepts the Republican/Kerry concessions but goes back on their concessions and moves the goal post. The Republicans/Kerry cower in fear and agree to more talks at the new scrimmage line.

Perhaps the way Republicans should deal with this administration is described in Heinlein’s Star Beast; ‘There are some people who's toes you have to keep stepping on until they appologize.”

Obama already release $13 billion previously frozen assets. That will fund a lot of spinning centrifuges.

The Iranian negotiator said this morning that it would take three more months to complete an agreement. In three months billions in frozen Iranian assets in European banks are scheduled to be released.
