I agree with the can of worms analysis. Kerry, in his pedantic and patrician manner, called for sanctions against Iran. Bush, sounding incredulous, pointed out to JFinK that we already have sanctions against Iran. Perhaps, if Kerry had shown up for a few of the Intelligence Committee meetings or even the Senate as a whole, he would have known that.
What was funnier is the Kerry told Bush he was wrong to have sanctions alone and without the allies. Bush said the sanctions were put in place by the Clinton administration. Bush has brought in the allies. Zing!
