MAJOR GARRETT: Thank you, Mr. President. As you well know, there are four Americans in Iran, three held on trumped-up charges that, according to your administration, one whereabouts unknown.
Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content, with all the fanfare around this deal, to leave the conscience of this nation, the strength of this nation, unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans?
And last week, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said under no circumstances should there be any relief for Iran in terms of ballistic missiles or conventional weapons. It is perceived that was a last-minute capitulation in these negotiations.
Many in the Pentagon feel you’ve left the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff high out to dry. Could you comment?
Doesn’t sound any worse than the average questions they’d ask Bush about anything.
Obama appeared on the national scene in 2007 or a little before that. So in 8+ years he was asked one difficult question. The leftists are outraged that one time in all these years a journalist actually did his job and a real question slipped through.
