(CNSNews.com) – White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. cannot proscribe how Iran chooses to spend the money it will get as sanctions are eased under a proposed nuclear deal.

But he said it was “common sense” to expect that the regime would use it to improve the ailing economy, rather than to step up funding for terrorism or destabilizing activities in the region.

Earnest said what had brought the Iranians to the negotiating table in the first place was a desire to ease the effects of sanctions imposed by the international community over the nuclear standoff.

This statement is madness and has no basis in reality.

Translation:

Iran--Good

Israel--Bad

Obviously, there is no common sense anywhere within or near the White House.

Giving money to people who have sworn to destroy you while they are trying to develop nucleat weapons to do so is nonsense.

Common sense nuclear detonations are, you know, so much easier on the eyes than other types.

Common Sense indicates that muzzies will do Jihad.

Common sense is neither common, nor does it always make sense.

It also isn't a trait that I would ascribe to those who publicly support the destruction and incineration of an entire nation, as Iran's leaders do.

As opposed to the past when they had hardly any money and were using it to fund terrorism.

Well, with what's left over from buying Nork missiles and Russian uranium, anyway.

Really...do these people take us for fools ?
Wait....I know the answer to that.
How any press secretary can say 75% of what comes out of his or her mouth is beyond me.

Just like the money that’s sent overseas to help those in poverty is appropriately used by their dictatorial governments to improve the lot of their subjects. The idiocy on display in this administration gets more spectacular daily.

A Muslim is on this earth to do what Allah wants done.

Funding for terrorism or destabilizing activities in the region to further the interests of Islam is more important than other worldly considerations like jobs, vacations, health care, good housing,education etc.
Those are Infidel pursuits, and should not be put before expanding Islam. -Tom
