After Diplomatic Disappointments, Iran Deal Vindicates Kerry
ABC News, AP ^ | July 18, 2015 | MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer

For John Kerry, vindication came at midnight.

As last Monday became Tuesday in Vienna, the U.S. secretary of state picked up the telephone in his first-floor room at the ornate, 19th-century Palais Coburg and dialed the White House.

All that remained was cleaning up the written details, Kerry said, a task that would be completed in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Then, world powers and Iran would announce the accord to the world.

“The feeble mindedness of the media is staggering.”

Feeble minded? You try copying and pasting dozens of official White House propaganda pieces a day and then either reading them on-air or publishing them!

It’s not as easy as it looks. The C and V are only one key apart and you’ve got to keep straight which one is which at all times!

“Vindicates?”

How about underlines his continuing treason?
