Even Howard Dean says it's time to walk away from the Iran 'deal'

Most Democrats are slavishly loyal to President Obama. Perhaps because they fear they'll wind up in jail if they dare to disagree but, whatever the reason, they normally goosestep along like good little sheep. This has been particularly true in the case of the Iran deal, where ridicule awaits anyone who points out that Obama's version of "negotiating" seems to be "give them whatever they want in exchange for nothing."

So former Presidential candidate, DNC Chairman, and crazy-screamer Howard Dean had better watch out. He's dared to step off the reservation. Worse, he did so on MSNBC, a network where boasting somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 viewers who watched him do it. Dean appeared on Morning Joe, where the host asked:

"I think John Kerry and Barack Obama are far, far too eager for a deal with Iran - and could actually get a better deal if they walked away from the table and possibly came back later. Why am I wrong, Howard?"

Mr. Eeeeyarrrgh! smiled and answered.

"I actually think you're right about this."

Now, don't start thinking this means that Democrats have seen the light in regards to the insanity of cutting a nuclear deal with a terrorist state whose supreme leader recently told his people "death to America." They're still all for that. This includes Howard Dean, who incorrectly thinks a "good deal" with Iran is actually possible. What's interesting is that - just like every sane person on Earth - he has no faith in the way Kerry and Obama are handling the negotiations.

"Obama is right to try and get a deal. I'm worried about the way these negotiations have gone and I think Joe is right, probably, to step away from the table."

The thing that Dean isn't acknowledging here is that Obama and Kerry won't walk away because they don't really care if they get a good deal. They want to say they did something, regardless of how ill-conceived that something may be. All they're really looking for is any deal that's not so bad that it becomes a 2016 issue for Dems. At best, this is all about legacy and laying claim to a false narrative of success in the Middle East. At worst, it's about granting an enemy of the US and Israel a path to a nuclear weapon and creating a new arms race in an already unstable region.
