		<description>I hope they take [Kerry] hostage and put him on top of their Nuke facility. --Uniblogger on December 25, 2009 at 8:53 AM

One bony ass to the other, Obama would remain unavailable for comment. &lt;em&gt;Fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling, Showed like a rebel&#039;s whore&lt;/em&gt; no more. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;The Western media reported that the prisoners were rescued by relatives but it looks more like the whole town helped with the rescue. The Western media also said that the regime shot dead two “gunmen” but the only ones with guns in the video are the regime thugs. 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Iranians don&#039;t want to see Kerry. And Kerry has no supporters willing to put themselves out for him under the gun, unlike those Iranian prisoners being hung and saved by their entire village protesting their execution. Now those entire families are in prison awaiting execution and a score of villagers were shot down, many killed and the others in critical condition. What political ally of Kerry&#039;s would go out on a limb for him, and visa versa? After all, Kerry&#039;s trip to Iran is HIS OWN IDEA with his own fate. Given these trying times, who&#039;d even suggest military intervention on Kerry&#039;s behalf? Unless he chose to convert to Islam, that would authorize him to abscond with his wife&#039;s fortune, Kerry would waste away like the American Embassy hostages taken during Carter&#039;s administration; difference being that instead of one, there are THREE years to await before a new potus election.</description>

		<description>Well there is some sense to this. He could be going there to show the dissendents how to escape slaughter by the regime, by teaching them his speedo-clad sailboard technique. History will contrast the speedo sailboard people forever with the Cambodian boat people. 

Thanks John - we love you.</description>

		<description>Would someone please explain to me why John Kerry wants to go to Iran? Does he need a new Persian carpet for that townhouse of his on Beacon Hill? Really, this idea makes no sense at all.

First of all, what is he going to accomplish that all the other boobs in the UN, the EU and the State Department can&#039;t accomplish? Is he going to actually succeed in persuading the mad mullahs to abandon their nuclear weapons program? Of course not. Is Kerry to going to persuade them to observe human rights for their own people and stop supporting terrorism in the world? Of course not. Oh, he will make the obligatory pleas for Iran to turn over a new leaf, join the world community and blah, blah, blah, woof, woof, woof and quack, quack, quack.


Not only would Kerry fail to accomplish anything, but he can do a lot of harm. At a time when the regime is facing mass protests in the streets from its own people, protests that inspire the world (except for the UN and EU, I guess) here comes Kerry on bent knee to give legitimacy to this bunch of mad-hatters. 

So what is the upside for this Chamberlainesque trip?

Can you say, &quot;NOBEL PEACE PRIZE&quot;?

That&#039;s right. It doesn&#039;t matter if Kerry comes back empty-handed, which he will. He&#039;ll claim some sort of vague progress or a &quot;historical and unprecedented&quot; deal to borrow a phrase that really means nothing. That&#039;s all it will take for the gnomes of Oslo to complete the circle of anti-Bushes that they can bestow this international version of the Golden Globe award upon. (Carter, Gore, Obama and Kerry.)

So to the man, whom during the 2004 election, we called the &quot;French candidate&quot;, I say &quot;bon voyage&quot;. Look into the eyes of Mr Ahmadinejad and come back and tell us how this is a man we can do business with.

And don&#039;t forget that Persian carpet.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would someone please explain to me why John Kerry wants to go to Iran? Does he need a new Persian carpet for that townhouse of his on Beacon Hill? Really, this idea makes no sense at all.</p>
<p>First of all, what is he going to accomplish that all the other boobs in the UN, the EU and the State Department can&#8217;t accomplish? Is he going to actually succeed in persuading the mad mullahs to abandon their nuclear weapons program? Of course not. Is Kerry to going to persuade them to observe human rights for their own people and stop supporting terrorism in the world? Of course not. Oh, he will make the obligatory pleas for Iran to turn over a new leaf, join the world community and blah, blah, blah, woof, woof, woof and quack, quack, quack.</p>
<p>Not only would Kerry fail to accomplish anything, but he can do a lot of harm. At a time when the regime is facing mass protests in the streets from its own people, protests that inspire the world (except for the UN and EU, I guess) here comes Kerry on bent knee to give legitimacy to this bunch of mad-hatters. </p>
<p>So what is the upside for this Chamberlainesque trip?</p>
<p>Can you say, &#8220;NOBEL PEACE PRIZE&#8221;?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right. It doesn&#8217;t matter if Kerry comes back empty-handed, which he will. He&#8217;ll claim some sort of vague progress or a &#8220;historical and unprecedented&#8221; deal to borrow a phrase that really means nothing. That&#8217;s all it will take for the gnomes of Oslo to complete the circle of anti-Bushes that they can bestow this international version of the Golden Globe award upon. (Carter, Gore, Obama and Kerry.)</p>

		<description>&quot;“The wrong message would be sent to the Iranian people by such a high-level visit: The U.S. loves dictatorial regimes,” said Hossein Askari, a professor at George Washington University and former adviser to Iranian governments.&quot;

But that is the message of the Obama administration- Russia, Cuba, Venezuela et al., shows that Obama is very comfortable with a ruling class controlling the masses.

Jeez, try to follow the bouncing ball here.</description>

How about flying John Kerry in on Vice Presidential Air Force B52 #1--Dr. Strangelove style?
***
Give him some fur lined BVD&#039;s and a Russki fur cap--it gets cold at 50,000 ft.  It will kill a lot of birds with one stone--and do a really credible COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION job on the Mullah&#039;s neighborhood!
