Jimmy J: Your description of the Middle East bargaining process was spot on — but you need to carry it farther. When the merchant quotes you his “final price” for the carpet, which has gone down from ridiculous to merely outrageous, you say, “Sorry, that’s still too much,” and walk out of the shop. And before you get more than a few steps away, the merchant comes running out of the shop and shouts, “Habibi, wait! I made a mistake! The price is only [too high].” That is when you get into the serious bargaining.

But of course, Kerry and Obama, never having had to bargain for anything in their privileged lives, either don’t know that, or, more likely, don’t care.

I guess it’s necessary for me to set up all my comments more completely so you won’t think I’m an idiot.

That won’t necessarily change anything.

What I said or implied is that if you are the same JJ as before, then your anger management over the last 50 years has produced an extreme amount of patience, to the point where you are now on the other side of the extreme from ira or wroth.

That is an issue of virtues and vices, not intelligence.

They point to Switzerland as a country that doesn’t threaten its neighbors and works hard maintain neutrality in international affairs. Did you counter attack with Switzerland's gun regulation policies and amount of firearms in citizen homes? When I point out the facts about why Switzerland does what it does, it doesn’t faze them. Why would facts faze the Leftist zombies? Only a hard attack or counter would.

Oh, I posted this link on the post about Obama’s speech on the Iran deal. It’s more appropriate here.

Ymasakar, my comment repeats what many progs and LIVs have said to me when I asked them what we should do in our foreign policy.

You do think I’m an idiot don’t you? Well, you aren’t the only one. You’ll have get in the long line that thinks me an idiot. 🙂

That’s not a parody; that’s a quote.
Beyond parody?

Why read fiction, why read satire.

That last quote is something else. It basically says that people don’t trust Iran because they have a history of being untrustworthy. Sheesh!

“All to placate and reassure a homicidal, fanatical, tyrannical dictator of a state that is a sworn enemy and has been for over thirty years?”
It’s hard to know if you’re referring to Obama, or the Ayatollah.

Kerry is just being Kerry; a snotty,overbearing treasonous pig.

I believe that Obama and Kerry are truly blind to the consequences of their actions because of their deeply-held, near-religious belief that we should emulate Switzerland in our foreign relations.

1. Switzerland wouldn’t ally with Islam, Jihad, terrorists, or any other world disrupting faction. They are neutral, making money.

2. Switzerland’s neutrality comes from a strong civic natured army and military culture. Plus a lot of international banks.

3. Too much patience isn’t a virtue, it’s more like wishful thinking equal to Chamberlain when it comes to what people are or are not.
