| Kerry to Congress: 'Calm down' over Iran sanctions |
| 2013-11-14 |
[Al Ahram] US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... urged politicians to "calm down" Wednesday over proposed new sanctions on Iran, warning they could scuttle diplomatic efforts to rein in Tehran's nuclear drive. "The risk is that if Congress were to unilaterally move to raise sanctions, it could break faith with those negotiations and actually stop them and break them apart," Kerry said. Washington's top diplomat was speaking before beginning a closed-door meeting with senators, many of whom are skeptical of the White House's request for a freeze on new sanctions. The House of Representatives has already passed legislation that toughens already-strict sanctions on Iran, whose economy by all accounts is reeling from the punitive action. The Senate Banking Committee is mulling new sanctions too, and some key members of President Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... 's own Democratic Party back a tougher stance despite the diplomatic opening. |

| #3 Are these new sanctions, or trying to re-impose the sanctions previously in place before the EO? Break faith, you effn morons. Reeling. Iran is reeling. Seem to be able to get troops to Syria. Develop nukes. Beat up the US at the negotiating table. Beat down protestors on live world tv and laugh about it. Infiltrate and disrupt Iraq at will. If that is reeling then by sam giv'em some pods of cash and let's see what they can really do, or are we supposed to believe that all they will do is buy the photoshop activation code? |

| #1 urged politicians to "calm down" Wednesday over proposed new sanctions on Iran, warning they could scuttle diplomatic efforts to rein in Tehran's nuclear drive. Whatever happened to the 'good old days' when Kerry could have simply blamed "Bush Derangement Syndrome" [BDS]? |
