How they must be laughing up their sleeves in Tehran at Kerry and the rest of the American fools so eager to give them everything they want on a silver platter.
“Khamenei calls ‘Death to America’ as Kerry hails progress on nuke deal,” Times of Israel, March 21, 2015:
Iran’s Supreme leader Ali Khamenei called for “Death to America” on Saturday, a day after President Barack Obama appealed to Iran to seize a “historic opportunity” for a nuclear deal and a better future, and as US Secretary of State John Kerry claimed substantial progress toward an accord.
Khamenei told a crowd in Tehran that Iran would not capitulate to Western demands. When the crowd started shouting, “Death to America,” the ayatollah responded: “Of course yes, death to America, because America is the original source of this pressure.
“They insist on putting pressure on our dear people’s economy,” he said, referring to economic sanctions aimed at halting Iran’s nuclear program. “What is their goal? Their goal is to put the people against the system,” he said. “The politics of America is to create insecurity,” he added, referring both to US pressure on Iran and elsewhere in the region.
Khamenei’s comments contrasted with those of Iranian President Hassan Rohani, who said “achieving a deal is possible” by the March 31 target date for a preliminary accord.
Kerry was more circumspect, as he spoke to reporters after six days of negotiations in the Swiss city of Lausanne. The talks, made “substantial progress,” he said, but “important gaps remain.
“We have an opportunity to get this right,” Kerry said, as he urged Iran to make “fundamental decisions” that prove to the world it has no interest in atomic weapons.
But Khamenei warned against expectations that even a done deal would mend the more than three-decade freeze between the two nations in place since the Iranian revolution and siege of the American Embassy, proclaiming that Washington and Tehran remained on opposite sides on most issues.
“Negotiations with America are solely on the nuclear issue and nothing else. Everyone has to know that,” Khamenei said.
In a reflection of the delicate state of negotiations, other officials differed on how close the sides were to a deal.
Top Russian negotiator Sergey Ryabkov and Iran’s atomic energy chief Ali Akbar Salehi said in recent days that technical work was nearly done. But French officials insisted the sides were far from any agreement….

Mr. Kerry’s possible thought…*yet another mistranslation…* (sarcasm)
Spot On says
Silvergreycat, Dare I say that B.O. and his JV team are no match for Khamenei’s team. B.O. and Kerry are just not the brightest bulbs. Actually they disgrace all of us.

Now let’s not overreact! Haven’t most members of the Obama administration screamed “Death to America” at some point in their lives? No big deal.
Lioness says
Obama wants death to America. He has worked hard at it ever since he got elected.
cs says
Obama and his cabinet = cheap hookers. Sorry to say.

The Muslim Brotherhood follows Muhammad’s example.
Muhammad was a Pimp — Islam was his Brothel — Allah was his favorite whore.
Joseph says
UMMM, hookers get paid, whores do not. I am positive they would do it for free.
Just thought you might want to consider that fact.
mortimer says
No. They’re willfully ignorant about the doctrines of TAQIYYA, the KAFIR, DUALISM, ABROGATION and JIHAD.
boakai ngombu says
that’s right, mort. although he doesn’t look it, the ayatollah must be extremely gay to be sliming the US the way he does with such gloom. gloom is cheer among the ummah, the Allah god of islam would have no other way.
Jay Boo says
Islam is a protection racket.
If you make regular payments of appeasement Muslims will let you be for a while, then act like they are the ones doing you a favor.
It is much like feeding a bear. Once you feed it the first time it keeps coming back.
Fire a warning shot upon first approach and it will go looking elsewhere for an easier meal.
Or it will make a nice bear skinned rug.
Either way — Win Win
mortimer says
No. Muslims are self-consciously supremacist and opportunistic. Bears have no conscience, but Muslims work hard throughout life to SUPPRESS the normal human conscience.
Joseph says
Kerry’s “nuclear deal” probably involves giving Iran missiles ready to launch for he thinks it would be safer since they might have an “accident” when they try to make them.
It would be a real hoot if we saw Kerry holding up a signed peace agreement, waving in the wind, just like Chamberlain did with the Hitler agreement. We all know what happened next. I am afraid it is going to happen again.
mortimer says
John Kerry is close to becoming another Neville Chamberlain. I am sure he has thought of that.
Saleem Smith says
The Islamic Republic of Iran publicly chants ‘Death to America’ and is actively trying to annihilate the State of Israel through its proxy Hezbollah and others.
And the Obama Administration is eager to make a deal allowing them to go forward with their nuclear program? This has everything to do with their ‘Islamic Ambitions’ and the Iranian Mohammedans should never be taken at their word.
We ex-Muslims know that Islamic theology is a powder keg with a short fuse and boasts a murderous madman for its prophet.

Death to Grand Wizard Khakamemei and his flaky Looney Tune cabal. You all have done a great amount more damage to the Persian legacy than America ever has. The days of sexist, racist, homophobic, closed-mindex, dopey goofballs holding sway over people with brains attached to spinal cords are long gone. I look forward to upcoming moment I read the headline about your floundering out of existence, you malevolent dork.

Obama fails to insist on the freedom of Christian pastor Saeed Abedini
Obama meanwhile treats Islam with reverence.
Iran’s regime sees this as a clear sign of weakness.
Please help bring our daddy home children plead:
Christian pastor Saeed Abedini
Bezelel says
Those “important gaps that remain” wouldn’t have anything to do with the global jihad that iran will still pursue regardless of any nuke deal, now would it? Bibi tried to tell them but obola is too smart for that, Huh? For all of the stalling and obstructing, those centrifuges could’ve been should’ve been destroyed already but no. We have to let obola show us how messianic he is. His friggin ego isn’t going to impress iran. They could care less about his golf game. They care even less about peace.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Any linguists out there? How do you say “Death to America!” in Farsi? It seems to be a popular greeting among street crowds in Iran. And how do you say it in Arabic? Learning a few native greetings like this will help to ingratiate the traveler with the locals when vacationing in Persia or Daeshland (not to be confused with Deutschland).
CogitoErgoSum says
Farsi:
Marg bar Âmrikâ – Death to America!
Arabic:
Al mout li Amreeka- Death to America!
For any occasion requiring mob-think:
O wah tah goo siam!
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Thanks, C. E. Sum, for these slogans.
No world traveler should be without them.
The geese of Thailand thank you too.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, travelers should inform those chanting “Death to America” that most Americans won’t understand their wishes for America when screamed in Farsi or Arabic but that the last phrase is in a dialect all Americans will understand when yelled repeatedly at the top of the lungs.
profitsbeard says
The flammable American flag concession in Tehran must be the most profitable biz in Iran.
A shame Obama isn’t wrapped in one of them.
But then he hates the American flag.
Joseph says
@ profitsbeard
A shame Obama isn’t wrapped in one of them.
But then he hates the American flag.
I think that this would make it all the funnier. Funny isn’t the right word, how about “ironic”? Or “just”(right)

Laughing all the way to the bank? It Is more like laughing all the way to a BANG
duh_swami says
Don’t worry John Kerry can calm the Ayatollah down…If that doesn’t work, Rasool O can send another love letter…
joeb says
heh heh. all I can do is laugh, now. this insane clown show just gets better and better.
it will get to the point where the iranians say “can you please give us the exact GPS coordinates of the Oval Office, as we’d like to target our first ICBM there?”
and kerry will say, “Sure! happy to help!”
PRCS says
I wonder if Valerie will tell Barry about this, or if he will find out about it from a newspaper.
Northridger says
But Islam is a “Religion of Peace”…… (sarcasm)
Paladin says
This nuclear deal that our Dear Leader is about to sign may be the single biggest mistake in human history.
Stipe says
The only issue that Kerry should be dscussing with Iran is their law on marriage. The present law always men to marry girls of 13 and reports indicate that they are marrying girls even younger, in steed with their prophet. Iran with this law mocks not only Kerry but the whole non Islamic world. Shame on us, no wonder we can not see past our noses.
Prinz Eugen says
As so much of this “deal” is secret, when will our cowardly congress find the backbone to start DEMANDING answers, or else? We know why sultan Barry and “father” Kerry are anxious to give nukes to iran — they are in cahoots with islam!
Every chance he gets, sultan Barry praises islam, defends islam, armsa islam and protects islam. It is a different story when Christians, Jews and infidels are involved!
GOP cowards took Impeachment off the table, so they continue to allow our self-styled caliph to act the dictator. And Barry has promised to double down on this in his remaining months. More likely, remaining YEARS — he will not leave in 2017 if the opposition continues to surrender!
J. Strong says
Yes. When stupid, foolish, intoxicated Boehner removed impeachment “off the table”…the die was cast. The point of return was crossed. These next two years will go badly.
