Last month, I wrote an piece about a top-tier Kerry fundraiser named Hassan Nemazee. At the time I thought it wouldn't be that big of a deal if Kerry/Edwards deployed some of their Clintonistas to handle the problem. Apparently, they didn't do that.The Cybercast News Service picks up the story...
Kerry called for normalizing relations with Iran in December 2003 in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations: "As president, I will be prepared early on to explore areas of mutual interest with Iran, just as I was prepared to normalize relations with Vietnam a decade ago," Kerry said.Kerry certainly seems willing to do Iran's bidding should he win. What was all that nonsense about Bush and Saudi Arabia? One could draw the conclusion that Kerry would have established that sort of relationship for real with Iran... I wouldn't, but you could...
The U.S. State Department consistently has labeled Iran as a leading state sponsor of terrorism, and human rights groups have accused the Iranian government of human rights abuses. The Bush administration opposes normalizing relations with Iran and also has denied nuclear fuel to the country.
In the first presidential debate in Miami on September 30, Kerry said, "I think the United States should have offered the opportunity to provide [Iran] nuclear fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually looking for it for peaceful purposes."

Ken Timmerman, author of several books on the Middle East, believes that Kerry "has adopted many of the positions that Tehran's lobbyists in America are trying to champion."
"Mr. Kerry has not only adopted the policies that the Islamic government in Tehran would like to see pursued by the U.S., he has accepted money by their lobbyists and has been the featured speaker at prominent fund-raising events," Timmerman told CNSNews.com.
This is, pardon the pun, bush league stuff...the Kerry/Edwards campaign continues to careen off the cliff...
