Columnist and political pundit Charles Krauthammer issued some mocking criticisms of the Obama administration in a Fox News segment about the Mideast turmoil and Iran's insistence its nuclear program is only for peaceable purposes, saying if you believe that, then "your name is John Kerry," the secretary of state.
He made the remarks while discussing Iran's insistence its entire nuclear program is aimed at providing energy for its civilian population and not for warfare. And he cited the example of Iran's Fordow facility, which was supposed to have been shuttered.
Krauthammer characterized the arguments in defense of Iran's claims as "example[s] of the creativity" of the denial crowd.

He went on: "[Fordow] is the most secured facility probably on planet Earth, and we are told that the solution is going to be that the centrifuges will be running, but they're only going to be using zinc, xenon and germanium to produce medical isotopes."
And Krauthammer's assessment of that line of thought?
"If you believe that the multibillion-dollar facility inside of a mountain is producing xenon isotopes, then your name is John Kerry," he said.
