Lost in translation

How do you say “Yes we can” in Farsi?

Iran’s foreign minister and top nuclear negotiator Mohammad Javad Zarif said that Iran’s right to enrich had been officially recognized. However, US Secretary of State John Kerry told ABC’s “This Week,” that “We do not recognized the right to enrich,” and British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC that the phrase “right to enrich” is “not in the document.”

Glad it’s all been nailed down.

  1. You say either and I say Iither, you say neither and I say Niither, But we can’t call the whole thing off. Because Barry.

  2. Iran [and anyone else with oil money] has possessed nuclear weapons since the collapse of the Soviet Union. It would be foolish and naive to believe otherwise. This is nothing but political posturing, but it sells ‘news’.

  3. You have to pass the agreement to find out what is in it. The USA and the restjust got Pelosied.

  4. So the Obama has been called a liar by the Iranians! They have not as yet understood that
    everything Obama says is a lie, intended to bamboozle the US public.

  5. The Iranians are right. No one in this six-month deal with stop them enriching five percent of existing uranium reserves nor does the deal remove the already enriched uranium.
    Obama is good to his Iranian buddies, just as he promised in 2008.

  7. Obumbles knows better than all those who came before him,
    he is the supercharge version of Jeema Cotta

  8. It’s not surprising, Wes. For Iran it’s very simple; they want to preserve as much of their infrastructure as possible while getting sanctions lifted. There’s no secondary agenda here. Whereas with the US, it’s all about the secondary agenda of distracting from the President’s collapsing public support. The WH needs anything that can be dressed up as a win, and Obama will lie through his teeth to portray it that way.

  9. Obama’s whole life is a lie. Its why he spends millions hiding it.
    I don’t think it possible for him to tell any truth.
    He’s allergic to any sort of verisimilitude.
    Even when it could help him.
