Thank Obama for giving Iran the money to finance the war in Yemen and Syria.

I’ve wondered what type of Mohammedan is Obama. Kenya & Indonesia Muzzies are predominantly Sunni boy rapers, although Barry certainly favors the Iran Shia goat humpers. No question he’s 100% anti-America hater.

Exactly. President Obama started telling Iran that he was friend of hte Regime before his election in 2008.

The dhow and its crew were allowed to depart once the weapons were seized. The weapons were in U.S. custody, Stephens said.

WHY?? Maybe we weren’t supposed to stop them in the first place.

That is where the 100 billion went that Obama gave Iran. He is funding islamic terrorism with our tax dollars.

Obama's primary goal in his 2 terms in office was/is to get the momentum going in favor if an Islamic caliphate in the region. This is all part of the bigger goal of having Islam take over Western civilization.

As his second term draws to a close, I suspect he's going to get more bold and daring in doing whatever he can to help his cause. I bet he's trying to figure out how he can give Iran control of our nuclear arsenal.
