Iran Humiliates Obama: Airs Footage of $400 Million 'Ransom' For Hostages
The Daily Wire ^ | Aug. 5, 2016 | James Barrett

Posted on 08/07/2016 8:32:03 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Barack Obama and his State Department have had a very bad week. After the Wall Street Journal broke the news of a secret transfer of $400 million in foreign currency via unmarked cargo plane to Iran back in January, the White House has been forced to repeatedly deny having paid what was clearly in effect a ransom to terror-sponsoring Iran for the release of American hostages. Now, footage aired on Iran's state-controlled television has surfaced that purports to show that cargo plane-load of cash.

Iran has aired a documentary created a few months ago containing footage of pallets of millions in foreign currency that the video claims was part of the "expensive price" the Obama administration paid to free the four U.S. hostages in January.

The video also claims that the Obama administration insisted that Iranian officials keep the transfer of money absolutely secret and threatened them should they leak information to the press. Clearly, the Iranians aren't overly concerned about threats from this administration.

The kenyan never feels humiliated because he feels it is the US being brought down a few notches. He LOVES that.

“Barack Obama and his State Department have had a very bad week.”

But Donald is still a waacist for how he dealt with the Khans. Therefore, the above is a non-story.

Imbecile Hussein does it to himself. Hard to believe, but even his muzzie bros hate the guy.

The article assumes one can humiliate the arrogant negro community organizer from Chicago.

You can’t humiliate a man with no shame. Both Obama and Kerry knew full well why the mullahs wanted the ransom pain in cash in hard currency. The goon squads and thugs that terrorize the population, keep the people docile and secure the regime are well pain in hard currency cash. They don’t like US dollars and want Euros , Swiss Francs or British pounds.

This was payment for ISIS. Iran is backing ISIS.

The cover story is that is “isn’t a ransom” as to get everyone thinking it is a ransom payment, but in reality it is a means to fund ISIS.

The FBI\DOJ will be filing criminal charges come Mon?

While the ‘Law and Order’ (R)NC does....

Just remember, come Nov., what ‘stalwarts’ we have in D.C.

Iran (Shia) and ISIS (Sunni) are vying for their own caliphates. They despise each other more than most Westerners can fathom. The $400 million ransom will go to Iran’s (Shia) terrorist proxy Hezbollah, not ISIS.

Wasn't Donald Trump ridiculed this week for saying that he saw video of the cash pallets?

But . . but . . Obama came on television and said it was NOT a ransom. He didn’t lie, did he? I’m still waiting on my $2500 yr savings on healthcare.
