Some highlights of the report:
"We are currently testing whether it is possible to achieve a comprehensive resolution to assure the international community that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful." We are using advanced marketing theory, and focus groups, to determine which lie will be most convincing.
"...pursuing a diplomatic effort that has already stopped the progress of Iran’s nuclear program and rolled it back in key respects." Which respects, exactly? Iran has produced an ICBM. The only reason Iran wants an ICBM is to put a nuclear payload on top of it.
"We have made clear Iran must meet its international obligations and demonstrate its nuclear program is entirely peaceful." Iran is sitting on top of one of the world's largest proven oil reserves. They don't need to build nuclear reactors to boil water. And there is no reason other than weapons production for the enrichment of uranium past three percent. Iran has stockpiles of 20 percent enriched uranium.
"Our preference is to achieve a comprehensive and verifiable deal that assures Iran’s nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes." How are we going to achieve this "verification?" U.S. inspectors? Or will Rouhani and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei pinky-swear with Susan Rice?
Other than wishful thinking about Iran, the report is fanciful, self-congratulatory, and absurd.
"We will be a champion for communities that are too frequently vulnerable to violence, abuse, and neglect—such as ethnic and religious minorities; people with disabilities; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender." Bruce, excuse me, Belinda Jenner will be our worldwide ambassador to facilitate transitioning teens.
"As part of our effort to promote a fully democratic hemisphere, we will advance our new opening to Cuba in a way that most effectively promotes the ability of the Cuban people to determine their future freely." By turning Guantanamo prison over to the Cuban government, so they can confine journalists, political dissidents, and other troublemakers there.
"Equally, we stand by the citizens of countries where the full exercise of democracy is at risk, such as
Venezuela." Venezuela is not "at risk," it is a completely failed state. Their foreign currency reserves are nearing zero because of low oil prices. For two years citizens have been lucky to wipe their asses with real toilet paper, because of price controls and subsequent shortages. Now, even basic medical supplies are running low, and people are dying.
"We... have prohibited so-called enhanced interrogation techniques that were contrary to American values." Your values. Not mine, and I'm not alone. More than half of Americans believe enhanced interrogation was justified.
The only time Islam is mentioned is in the phrase, "We reject the lie that America and its allies are at war with Islam." Strawman. We are not sending soldiers off to fight a religion. We are at war with radical Islam, or Islamism, or Islamic supremacy, or equivalent terminology. We are sending soldiers to fight those who wage war in the name of Islam.
"Climate change is an urgent and growing threat to our national security." There is a superstorm lurking off the coast, gathering strength, and unless we tax carbon and use the EPA to regulate coal fired power plants out of existence, it will kill us all.
"As the world’s two largest emitters, the United States and China reached a landmark agreement to take
significant action to reduce carbon pollution." The United States will voluntarily lower emissions to twenty five percent below 2005 levels. China will do nothing until 2030. This is their landmark agreement.
