WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If elected U.S. president, Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) would offer Iran a deal allowing it to keep its nuclear power plants if it gave up the right to retain bomb-making nuclear fuel, said Kerry's vice presidential running mate in an interview published on Monday.
Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) told The Washington Post if Iran did not accept this "great bargain," this would confirm the Islamic state was building nuclear weapons under cover of a nuclear power initiative.
If Iran rejected this proposal, Kerry would ensure European allies were prepared to join the United States in imposing strict sanctions against Iran, said Edwards.
Just as N. Korea promised everything to Clinton, then went right ahead to develop nukes.
That worked out just great, didn't it?
I thought Kerry's plan is to send the pedophile Scott Ritter to Iran to inspect for nukes so he could be bribed with children by the Iranians and no one would ever know.
There is no mistake so misguided that a Democrat can't make it twice.
I have to nominate the Democrats for the "stupid" party. They are dumb as rocks.
"Didn't the Clintonistas along with Jimma Cartier make just such a deal with North Korea?"
Yep, and the Europeans made a similar deal with Iran a few years back and the Iranians have followed a similar pattern of response.
OOOOOOO. Strict sanctions. That's what scares Islamic exteremists. These people send their kids to blow themselves up in pizza parlors in on bsues in roder to take out some Jews. The threat of sanctions is laughable. And after the sanctions have been in place for a few months, we will all be called heartless "crusaders" and all the misery in Iran will be blamed on our sanctions.
If Iran rejected this proposal, Kerry would ensure European allies
Kerry would ensure? What a joke. He has no idea what the word means.
If I'm Iran I agree to the deal, build my power plants, then refuse to hand over the nuclear fuel. The I laugh and build my bombs while Kerry sucks face with UN.
"I have to nominate the Democrats for the "stupid" party. They are dumb as rocks."
Actually a 'rock' would make a better president than Kerry.
Indeed. What happens when the people of France, fresh from selling power plant parts to the Iranians, complain that Kerry's sanctions are starving the poor, innocent school children? Can't risk offending an ally. Better just drop the whole thing and let the Mullahs have their nukes.
Haven't seen Ritter lately. Is he still trolling McDonald's Restaurant playgrounds for cheap dates?
Deep down inside Kerry HATES AMERICA always has.....any of America's enemies will be safe under a Kerry administration....and if he hates America he also hates Israel......
Of course he will allow Iran to build nukes....and attack Israel.....if by some act of an angry God...Kerry is elected....
Israel had better strike Iran minutes after our election results are finalized....
imo
Rush was just talking about this, how Kerry and the Democrats are more concerned with world opinion than they are at protecting America.
Only if they let the U.S. re-privatize their oil fields. With all that nuclear energy, they won't have any use for all that oil anymore, will they?
Well, he's got the goofy, vacuous smile just like Carter. And now its confirmed (again) that he's got the Useful Idiocy of the him, as well.
Why must you people spread such vicious falsehoods about Scott Ritter? He does not go to McDonald's playgrounds looking for cheap dates. He was at a Burger King looking for a girl he met on the Internet! Geez, get your facts straight. Next thing you'll be questioning the heroics of John Kerry in Korea, or was it Cambodia, or Vietnam...
"Actually a 'rock' would make a better president than Kerry."
My 8 year old likes to say, "If Kerry was any smarter he would be a piece of wood."
My inlaws now officially hate me.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
