Kerry in Davos. Sleeping with the Enemy?

From Brutally Honest:

This was John Kerry just one year and two weeks or so ago:
"Ultimately if we are not able to find any diplomatic resolution in the next weeks I don't think we have any choice but to take it to the international community. I think Iran has made a very dangerous and a very silly decision and it is inviting confrontation not with the United States but with the global community that cares enormously about the control of nuclear weapons."

This is John Kerry now:
Addressing a world Economic Forum meeting in Davos Switzerland on Saturday, Kerry also strongly rejected West's demanded prerequisites for the resumption of nuclear talks with Iran. Kerry, whose remarks followed a speech by Iran's former President Seyed Mohammad Khatami, stated his support for Khatami's views, and said Americans find out - only when they are outside their country - that the world is different from what they imagine. "We should give up pessimism and pick up a realistic view," he said, and further stressed the need for the US to change its policies towards the world countries and issues. The US politician also approved of Khatami's views about increased tension and violence in the world, and concluded, "As Mr. Khatami said, violence increased in the region after the occupation of Afghanistan, Iraq and Bin Ladenism."

I can't believe this guy came so close to being the President. Thank goodness that the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy holds sway over Diebold.

He's made the front page of the Iran Daily, but no mention of his remarks in the NYT.

Big surprise, eh?

Here's more from Michelle Malkin
