Senators Appalled by Kerry's Anti-Israel Remarks in Iran Briefing
Jewish Press Online ^ | November 13, 2013 | Lori Lowenthal Marcus

In what was described as a “purely emotional” appeal that did not reveal the necessary specificity to assuage lawmakers’ concerns about a deceptive Iran on the brink of acquiring the ability to produce nuclear weapons, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with members of the U.S. Senate banking committee on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 13. Kerry remained adamant that if congress ups the sanctions, it will push away Iranians from the negotiating table. And many members of congress seemed to be just as adamant that de-fanging sanctions at this stage of negotiations, when the Iranians remain unwilling to make major concessions, will mean any deal will be at great cost to the west and have little substantive effect on Iran’s nuclear abilities. “Our hope is that no new sanctions would be put in place for the simple reason that, if they are, it could be viewed as bad faith by the people we are negotiating with,” Kerry said before entering a closed-door briefing with members of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, according to CNN. “It could destroy the ability to be able to get agreement,” he added, “and it could actually wind up setting us back in dialogue that’s taken 30 years to achieve.” But after the meeting, the few congressmen who were willing to speak had harsh words both about the content of what was discussed, but also the atmospherics

Oh no! If we increased sanctions the Iranians would think we were guilty of BAD FAITH! And we all know how sensitive a BAD FAITH meter the Iranians have! How would we ever hold our heads up in public again?

When it comes to Kerry and Obama, it’s a toss up which one is more stupid.

ALL Leftists hate Israel. That includes uber-Leftists Obama and Kerry. Why is there so little acknowledgement of that?

When Kerry and Obama hasn’t exterminated 5 million Ameriacns and ALL Jews, it is because they haven’t succeeded.

In 2002 Kerry discovered that two of his grandparents were Austrian Jews, who changed their name from “Kohn” to “Kerry” when they came to the US. Should we tell the Iranians that Kerry is half-Jewish?

Kerry and McCain should be taken to task for denying that MIAs were still in Nam, all the while helping the Vietnamese start trade with America.

I agree. They probably hate the POW patch that I still wear on my jacket and the POW flag that I still fly at my house.

Well, Kerry is a descendant of the “prophet” Mohammed. Not joking. From the National Review Online:

“JOHN KERRY, DESCENDANT OF THE PROPHET

This must be a contender for the oddest story of the campaign:

Mr. Kerry is kinsman of the Shi’ite shahs of Persia (the most famous was Shah Abbas I, who reigned from 1587 to 1629), as well as the Muslim kings of Tunisia, all of whom, Democratic presidential nominee included, descend from the prophet Muhammad.
