Iran - a three-fer
We are letting this one get away. Iran is set to become a nuclear power and we are working towards this goal instead of against it.

Exclusive: Obama�s Secret Iran D�tente
The Obama administration began softening sanctions on Iran after the election of Iran�s new president in June, months before the current round of nuclear talks in Geneva or the historic phone call between the two leaders in September.
While those negotiations now appear on the verge of a breakthrough the key condition for Iran�relief from crippling sanctions�began quietly and modestly five months ago.
A review of Treasury Department notices reveals that the U.S. government has all but stopped the financial blacklisting of entities and people that help Iran evade international sanctions since the election of its president, Hassan Rouhani, in June.
So we are easing up on the sanctions but not demanding dismantling of the centrifuges. Idiots.

Netanyahu: 'This Is a Bad Deal--a Very, Very Bad Deal'
I met Secretary Kerry right before he leaves to Geneva," said Netanyhau. "I reminded him that he said that no deal is better than a bad deal. That the deal that is being discussed in Geneva right now is a bad deal. It�s a very bad deal. Iran is not required to take apart even one centrifuge. But the international community is relieving sanctions on Iran for the first time after many years. Iran gets everything that it wanted at this stage and it pays nothing. And this is when Iran is under severe pressure. I urge Secretary Kerry not to rush to sign, to wait, to reconsider, to get a good deal. But this is a bad deal--a very, very bad deal. It�s the deal of a century for Iran; it�s a very dangerous and bad deal for peace and the international community.

Kerry making unplanned visit to Geneva for Iran talks
Secretary of State John Kerry will make an unplanned trip to Geneva Friday afternoon � where intense nuclear negotiations are underway � to meet with Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, multiple sources including U.S. officials tell NBC News.
Nuclear talks between Iran and the so-called P5+1 nations � U.S., Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany � resumed in Geneva Thursday morning.
Word of Kerry's impending arrival is the strongest sign so far of an agreement on a first step toward a comprehensive final deal.
John Forbes Kerry may have great hair but #1) - he has no balls and #2) - he simply is not that intelligent. He will fold, Iran will get the bomb and Israel will have to act alone against the muslim world.
This is a black stain on the history of this once-great Nation.
