Maybe he should invite them to a Job Fair and offer free job training.

Face it. Iran has won a significant strategic victory. The Shi’ite Houthi fighters have defeated the Saudi backed Yemen Sunni government and army. Despite the Saudi bombing and their lack of arms, the Houthi fighters control the ground. The Saudis have been unable to convince the Egyptians or the Pakistanis to commit troops for an invasion. What’s more is they do not dare send their own well equipped but inexperienced and untested army against the experienced Houthi fighters operating on their own turf. It is not clear if the rank and file Saudi soldiers will fight well or risk all for the “kingdom”. Iran has a toe hold on the Arabian peninsula. At present the US Navy will prevent them from delivering arms. However Yemen is a destitute country that imports most of its food. Soon there will be scenes of human misery. Those Iranian ships will return loaded with food and humanitarian supplies and after inspection will be allowed to make port. This is a disaster for the Saudi royals. It can mark the beginning of the end for the decadent Saudi royals who financed, motivated and acquiesced to 9/11. The Arab Spring storms will soon crack the thin veneer of stability in Arabia despite the oil wealth.

The Houthis should take Kerry up on his offer. The Houthis will be offered all sorts of US goodies (money, etc.). In return, the Houthis will have to agree to, well, nothing.

It's Kerry's way of negotiating. Building a legacy, and all that.

Ol Frederick wasn’t necessarily correct. he forgot the force of money

Kerry will offer money when at the table. if Lurch is smart, he will have induced the GCC to cough up most if not all of the $$$ he will use for the payoff

Kerry said he’d bring James Taylor; they are holding out for Cat Stevens.
