In 1979, Iranian revolutionaries stormed the U.S. embassy and took more than sixty Americans hostage for 444 days. Those hostages were not released until Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President on January 20th, 1981.
This week the Obama government admitted it is paying the same Muslim extremist Iranian government that took those U.S. hostages in 1979 $1.7 BILLION in penalties and fees the Iranians claim was owed to them for agreements the United States had with the previous Iranian government prior to the revolution that saw Iran overtaken by radical Islamic fundamentalists.

This is impeachable. Where are the republicrats!!!
?
At what level do these proposals get the nod? Did Congress legislate an appropriation for this or is Barack just talking out his rear or what?
Bent over, grabbing their ankles, with their pants down.
Next question?
Ransom. Agreed in advance. This was a scheme to transfer money, bet dollars to donuts. The “kidnapping” was prearranged, unbeknownst to the hostages.
This is the most digusting thing that Omoron has done to date. What a P.O.S.
This is UNBELIEVABLE. I have had it. When is the revolution? It’s over for us. Paying our enemies to kills us. If I were in Congress, I would be on the house or Senate floor screaming nonstop until the whole Country came to Washington DC to demand and end to this madness.
U.S. Veterans need that money — not The Iranians!!!!!!!!!
With a wink and a...”Hold this for me until I get out of office”.
Doesn’t this transfer of funds to a foreign government have to be approved by Congress? Is anyone is Congress awake? Do they even care?
They agreed to let Obama decide everything.
Seriously. It requires a veto-proof majority to undo Congress giving their power to ratify treaties away to Obama.
And people wonder why Trump is popular?
Screw the GOPe.
When am I going to wake up from this nightmare?
It can be interpreted that seizing an embassy in such a manner can legally constitute an act of war.
So we’re giving money that we owed to the Shah to the people over threw the Shah.
No. It’s 400M the Shah paid to America for military equipment 35 years ago. The interest on it is 1.3B. That is around 8% per year for 35 years.
aiding ... abetting ... and FINANCING the enemy.
all varieties of treason possible
that’s the 0bama legacy.
This is Obama logic...destroy America in order to save Islam from itself...brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we should just deliver about 400 million dollars of military equipment. We can deliver the equipment via B52 express or drone instant delivery or submarine delivery.
There are a lot of ways we could deliver 400 million dollars in Military Equipment to Iran and chances are they will never ask for any more, ever.

The Navy Riverine boat capture was staged from the get go to facilitate the release of the Iranian prisoners. As Rush says: “Don’t doubt me.”
