Kerry: Iran Nuclear Deal Harder After November 24
2014-11-06
[Ynet] Reaching a nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers will be more difficult if negotiations drag beyond a November 24 deadline, US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
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...
 said on Wednesday. Kerry, speaking ahead of his planned weekend talks with Iran's foreign minister, said the United States and its allies were not - for now - weighing an extension of the negotiations.

"I think it gets more complicated if you can't" meet the deadline, Kerry said, adding "it's not impossible."
Can anyone honestly question that here is truly The Second Smartest Man In The Room?

#3  Why the 24th? Because that's when they have to leave for Thanksgiving, and after that it's Black Friday sales, and then Christmas shopping, and half of the State Dept has to use up excess vacation by the end of the year.
So it's really important.

#2  Far from being naive about Iran’s capabilities and intentions, as some opponents have suggested, Obama administration negotiators are “some of the most serious and capable, expert people in our government, who have spent a lifetime dealing with both Iran” and nuclear proliferation issues, Kerry said.
“We are not blind, and I don’t think we’re stupid,” he added. From a WAPO story: WAPO version.

Not convinced? Me either. It seems that voters spoke at the polls regarding "naive, blind, and stupid."

#1  One would suspect that the administration's dance card is rather full between now and the end of January...
