US Tells Iran to Consider Nuclear Talks Extension VIENNA — Nov 23, 2014 By GEORGE JAHN and MATTHEW LEE

The U.S. told Iran Sunday that it's time to consider extending nuclear talks, in the first formal recognition by Washington that frenzied last-minute diplomacy may not be enough to seal a deal by a rapidly approaching deadline.

A senior U.S. official said that with the Monday evening cutoff date a little more than a day away, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry proposed to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Java Zarf that the two sides start discussing post-deadline talks in their latest meeting since Kerry arrived three days ago to add his diplomatic weight to the talks.

At the same time, two Western diplomats said, negotiations were continuing with Iran on trying to bridge differences on reducing Tehran's ability to make nuclear weapons to levels acceptable to Washington while giving the Islamic republic the relief it seeks from international sanctions over its atomic activities.

Once again Iran is playing Kerry for a fool.

Sadly, they’ve got his number.

Agreement or no agreement, the Iranians will get their nuclear weapons. The mullahs clearly understood three years ago that Obama had no intention of using military force. They would like to sign an “international agreement” because if anyone who fears nuclear armed lunatic medieval mullahs were to attack them, the attackers themselves would be labeled world pariahs, subject to sanctions and condemnation. The attackers would also be subject to a counterattack with long range missiles from Iran and sophisticated short range ballistic missiles based in Syria and Lebanon. The Iranians made very good use of the past three years. The mullahs played their hand and Kerry very well.

Bring at least a few hundred of the huge numbers of diplomats home. Fast food wages are higher now.

The mullahs are playing this ass for a fool, and the community organizer in the WH now has to satisfy another constituency: Code Pink women. .

Give it up Kerry, you will NEVER get a Nobel Peace Prize. No matter how much you try to betray America, you will not get one.

I have very little doubt that (1) there will be an extension to these "talks"; and (2) it will result in a deal of sorts--one in which Iran will have quick breakout capacity.

The only two remaining questions, in my mind, are these: (1) Does Israel have the capacity to take out Iran's nascent nuclear facilities on its own; and (2) if it does not, is there any hope--any hope at all--that the US might agree to assist it? Perhaps after Barack Obama is no longer president of the US?

Horrible, stupid and ignorant negotiations which are really APPEASEMENT a la’ Chamberlain, 1938.
We never learn while Katherine Ashton and John Kerry smile with the evil Iranian regime.
Iran is copying the North Korean model and everybody knows it while they give Iran ANOTHER extension...pathetic.

...that’s a French Nuke test but the question is, who is going to hit whom first? Iran or Israel and will Obama be out on Hole #6 when it comes down?

There is no one in the Obama administration that has done anything but bow and beg to Muslim terriorists.

Hopefully, the next Repub administration will have folks that don’t cow-tow to terriorists like those ruling Iran, but instead will PROMISE them exactly what will happen if they cross a real red line and be willing to follow through on that promise.

"The mullahs played their hand and Kerry very well."

Kerry is a fool. Obama is a collaborator helping to destroy the Western infidel, IMO.
