Kerry Accuses Trump of Trying to ‘Make Things Up’ on Iran
OpenPaper ^ | September 3, 2018 | Staff

Earlier, the former US Secretary of State said that President Trump’s decision in May to leave the 2015 Iran nuclear deal “weakens our security, breaks America’s word [and] isolates us from our European allies.”

In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation”, former US Secretary of State John Kerry berated President Donald Trump for having described the Iran nuclear accord, or the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as the “worst deal ever.

“Unfortunately — and I say this sadly — more often than not, he really just doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He makes things up. And he’s making that up, as he has other things,” Kerry, who led the US team in nuclear negotiations with Iran, pointed out.

He rejected Trump’s allegations that the JCPOA was ostensibly weak and harmful to the US as false, adding that they could disrupt “the possibilities of international nuclear policy.”

“Just saying that doesn’t make it that. This is the toughest agreement in terms of inspection, accountability — no country has had to do what Iran did in order to live up to this. But to just walk away?” Kerry underscored.

He recalled that JCPOA signatories China, France, Germany and Britain have all tried their best to preserve the Iran deal and that “only the United States walked away.”

“Only Donald Trump [did so]. His defense secretary thought he should keep it, his intelligence people thought he should keep it. The fact is this agreement is working,” Kerry emphasized.

Trump announced Washington’s withdrawal from “the horrible, one-sided [Iran nuclear] deal that should have never, ever been made.” He pledged to reinstate the “hardest” ever sanctions on the Islamic Republic, which are due to enter its second phase in November and are expected to hit Tehran’s oil sector.

Ahead of the announcement, Trump lambasted Kerry for reportedly trying to sit down with European leaders and Iran’s foreign minister Javad Zarif in an attempt to salvage the JCPOA.

“John Kerry can’t get over the fact that he had his chance and blew it! Stay away from negotiations John, you are hurting your country!” Trump wrote on his Twitter page at the time.

I Kerry had been imprisoned for imposing himself into the Paris peace talks and giving aid and comfort to the enemy NVN then we could have avoided all of his incompetence and treason now.

From the man who has constantly made things up his entire political carreer, there has likely never been a bigger political case of the pot calling the kettle black.

So then, Lurch Kerry is telling people that he knows something. What a lying B-tard. Remember this POS betrayed Our Country in Viet Nam and sided with the Enemy and the likes of his @$$ kissing Communist buddies Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown and Hanoi Jane Fonda. Then he compounded those crimes by kissing the @$$ of the likes of Obama, The Clintons and getting money from George Soros and Iran. Just another lousy lying leftist liberal socialist snowflake loser going ahead and doing their best to destroy Our Country and turn it into another socialist/communist country controlled by them.

Kerry helped Obama (or rather, Kerry and Obama helped SorozNazi) sell out America to an eventual (and repeatedly-promised/threatened) Iranian nuclear bombardment

as far as I am concerned, all 3 (with HilLIARY and a few more) should be round up, tried, and .....

= = = = = = = = = =

JF’nK should have been arrested and tried after his Congressional ‘Speech’ when he said he had observed or had first hand knowledge of US Troops looting, vandalizing and raping Vietnamese citizens.

If he knew of or was aware of such, as a COMMISSIONED OFFICER it was/is his duty to either officially report or take steps to make it stop...apparently he did neither so that should make him liable.

Leads me to believe he had been ‘relieved’ of his Active Duty status at that time, otherwise he would have been (OR should have been) recalled to face charges.

Not sure how the O’s work it but E’s were obligated to 6 years and no matter how much Active Duty was spent, one was ‘liable’ to recall until his ‘Active Obligated Service’ was completed.

"Trump should have him strung up by the tomatoes and interrogated about who received the Iran deal cash."

No Wonder John Kerry And The EU Leaders Are In A State Of Panic – BRIBES TAKEN ON THE IRAN DEAL.

Kerry should have been hanged for treason, and instead was pardoned by the imbecile Jimmy Carter. But that pardon doesn't cover his more recent treasons, for which he will pay.

Hi Mr. Kerry! Remember that time you banged Morgan Fairchild? I bet you do, I bet she doesn’t. Anyway, remember that from your jail cell. Coming soon enough.
