John Kerry actually said...

"I believe that, imperfect as it is, accepting the deal is considerably better for the United States than any of the realistic alternatives."

"I see the JCPOA as a pretty good deal for 15 years, but after that it's a bet."

"I fear that the JCPOA will justify another 'pivot to Asia,' which... was nothing more than an excuse for pivoting away from the Middle East."

"I think it far more likely that were the United States to turn down the JCPOA, we would find ourselves in a far worse position."
