Let me demonstrate.
First, here is how our leadership negotiated with Iran over the nuke deal.
Kerry: “We want open inspections at any time.”
Iran: “With ten days’ notice.”
Kerry: “We can agree to only one day’s notice.”
Iran: “Then we want 15 days’ notice.”
Kerry: “Okay, we see your point. Five days’ notice.”
Iran: “Twenty days.”
Kerry: “Okay, we will give you 15 days, but we name the inspectors.”
Iran: “If you want to name the inspectors, it will be 30 days’ notice.”
Kerry: “Okay, 20 days and our own inspectors.”
Iran: “We get to pick the inspectors, and we’ll compromise to 28 days’ notice.”
Kerry: “Okay, we agree, but only 22 days’ notice.”
Iran: “Twenty-four days’ notice, and none of the inspectors can be American.”
Kerry: “Okay, but we don’t release any of your $130 billion until you comply.”
Iran: “We don’t sign unless you immediately release our funds.”
Kerry: “Okay, you get your money, but we want you to stop saying ’Death to America.’”
Iran: “Pay us first; then we see.”
Kerry: “Okay, agreed. Do we have an agreement?”
Iran: “Yes, agreed. Let’s sign.”
Kerry: “Thanks! Great work, everyone! We’re signed!”
Iran: “I want your watch, John.”
Kerry: “Okay, here’s my Rolex.”
One day later, Kerry to the press: “We got the best deal possible; the only other option was no deal. Anyone have the correct time?”
Two days later, Iran: “Death to America!”
