John Kerry and the Baroness Lady Catherine Ashton (EU Foreign Affairs chief)
"Peace in our time."
John Kerry is on the move again as he lands in Vienna, where he will meet with his counterparts including the hapless Baroness Lady Catherine Ashton in a desperate bid to make a last minute deal with the Iranians over their nuclear program. (The "deadline" is Monday.) It may be shaping up as a repeat of Neville Chamberlain's desperate trip to Munich in 1938 that resulted in a "deal" with Hitler that gave Germany the Sudetenland.
Any diplomat should know that when you are desperate to make a deal, a bad deal is the result as you are taken advantage of by the other side-especially when the other side is as malevolent as Hitler or the mullahs of Iran. Kerry doesn't seem to know that, however. His eyes are on a prize-the Nobel Peace Prize.
Many experts are predicting that since there are so many major obstacles to hurdle, the inevitable result will be an extension to the deadline, which is great for the Iranians because it just gives them more time to string us out even longer as their nuclear (bomb) program goes forward.
How that will settle with the Israelis, who would be the first victims of an Iranian nuclear attack, is questionable, but what the Hell. Why should we care about a people so far away of whom we know so very little?
"Couldn't have said it better myself, Old Chap."
Wouldn't it be ironic if Kerry and the Baroness Lady Ashton were in Oslo receiving their peace prizes as Tel Aviv is reduced to cinders and ashes?
