"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."
"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.
