7 As usual, whenever I see this administration at work, I have to say "well of course they did."

Did they fire a cabinet official to block out the news cycle? Of course they did. It should be "I can't believe they did that."

11 Why does nobody ever ask Obama or Kerry what could possibly change in the next 7 months, while the centrifuges continue to spin, that would make the Iranians give up their pursuit of nukes when nothing has in the last decade?

Such a farce.

17 Hagel was fired for something he did, not failure to accomplish something. My guess is arguing for nuke fixes and against Ebola duty, maybe other things. He probably attempted to do the right thing by the country and military, and that's what got him sent down the road. I wouldn't have expected it from him, I think he is a tool, but I think he accidently tried to do his job.

In that respect, the talks were a success, since nothing has prevented Iran from reaching that goal.

And they will do whatever they have to, if not to totally destroy Iran's nuke capability (sadly, I don't think they can), then to cripple it to such an extent that if/when it gets started again a sane American President will have been elected and in office.

45 Jeezuz gawd Hagel looks like a beaten Basset Hound in those pictures.

It is kind of poetic justice--it's like that Timberlake song--

What goes around, [..]comes back again.

Here's the take away from his Charlie Rose interview:

Rose asked Hagel to elaborate on comments that he made in a speech at the Reagan Library last weekend. In that speech, Hagel said that America's military capability, while still the best in the world, is being threatened.

[...]

'I am worried about it, I am concerned about it, Chairman Dempsey is, the chiefs are, every leader of this institution," Hagel said, including Pentagon leadership but leaving both President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden's names out of his list of officials who are worried about the U.S. military's declining capability. Hagel said that the Congress and the American people need to know what while the U.S. military remains the strongest, best trained and most motivated in the world, its lead is being threatened because of policies being implemented now.

Hagel went on to note that a good leader prepares their institution for future success, saying that "the main responsibility of any leader is to prepare your institution for the future. If you don't do that, you've failed. I don't care how good you are, how smart you are, at any part of your job. If you don't prepare your institution, you have failed."

Thinking about this is bothersome. If they can't destroy or retard the program, the best they could do would be to inflict damage that would be difficult or impossible to mitigate, such as striking in a way that causes dispersal of radioactive elements.

Think this has anything to do with his facial injury last week? Did he get something thrown at him? I hope he writes his book soon.

While I did not like him, of all the great cabinet of the most transparent of all administrations of all time, he may have been the only one I could stand a little bit.

Hmmm. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Iran has 9,600 centrifuges running and another 10,000 ready to go. They aren't using the next 10K because of the interim agreement.

So, delaying the negotiating deadline means putting off for seven months Iran's immediate doubling of capacity.

"Reports: Top Iranian Negotiator 'Frequently Shouts' at Kerry, Western Officials

Zarif screams so loud bodyguards have entered the room"

"Iran's foreign minister and lead negotiator in nuclear talks is known to frequently scream and shout at Western diplomats, including Secretary of State John Kerry, a practice that has caused alarm among bodyguards stationed outside the negotiating room.
. . .

Araghchi went on to claim that he and Zarif play the roles of "good cop, bad cop," according to the report, also in Farsi. The two often exchange these roles in a bid to "baffle the Western diplomats" and keep them uneasy, the report claims.

Araghchi further claimed that Kerry said very little after being shouted at by Zarif, except for "one or two very respectful sentences." "

The epic incompetence of the entire Obama Administration may well spell doom for the entire planet, as lunatic end-of-days Islamic armageddonists acquire The Bomb because our side is represented by buffoons.

Usually because the GOP winds up screwing all the poorer people and eventually they get disgusted and vote in Democrats thinking they'll help them.

Of course that doesn't work because Democrats are just if not more venal and greedy than the GOP they just hide it better. For a while.

Then they ruin the economy and the GOP gets back in for a while.

Meanwhile the poor get poorer the middle class gets poorer and the Rich fuck everybody else.

In that respect, the talks were a success, since nothing has prevented Iran from reaching that goal.

If the Israelis haven't been working overtime to develop anti-ballistic missile defenses with Iran in mind, then they are not as clever as I have always thought they were.

Posted by: kraken

By "Blondie" I assume you mean Debbie Harry.

Debbie Harry was ALREADY AN AGING SENIOR CITIZEN when she got a second career as a punk singer in the late '70s. Most people don't know that she was a cute and sexy waif singing in psychedelic bands in the mid-'60s and had already "retired" by the time the Blondie project took off.

Seriously. Google her in the band "Wind in the Willows."

I think Israel has a real actual red line. And they will do whatever they have to, if not to totally destroy Iran's nuke capability (sadly, I don't think they can), then to cripple it to such an extent that if/when it gets started again a sane American President will have been elected and in office.

He didn't really ever meet with the Cabinet as a Cabinet anyhow, and look at how Holder's "resignation" has left things: Holder continues to screw up the department, and there's no point going after Holder, because he's already resigned, and the alleged prospective nominee is so bad there's no rush to confirm her. This could continue for most of 2015.
