With the blessing of the Obama administration, Boeing Co. has negotiated the sale of a fleet of new jets to the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism.
The $17.6 billion deal between the aviation giant and the Islamic Republic of Iran was made possible by the lifting of economic sanctions against Tehran in January. It is a reckless piece of business that Congress must address.
Under terms of the memorandum of agreement, Boeing reportedly will supply 80 planes—including intercontinental jumbo jets—to state-owned Iran Air.
The carrier, according to the U.S. Department of Treasury, has been routinely commandeered by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics to transport rockets, missiles, and other military equipment, including materials and technologies with ballistic missile applications.

Anything for a dollar.
Trump keeps saying they are buying those planes from France.
We’re paying for them with the $150 billion.
Financed by YOU via the Export / Import Bank.
Crony Capitalism is literally funding our worst enemies’ military.
One of the selling points was the bomb bay doors.

“Financed by YOU via the Export / Import Bank.”
While I don’t object to the sale of the jets (since the Iranians would simply buy from Airbus instead), I do object to the US financing of the jets.
If they owe us billions, we can only expect problems in the future, such as the loss of the ability to restrain Iran by peaceful means.
Hopefully, the Jewish lobby will be effective in DC.
If hillary somehow gets into the White House, we all can feel confident she'll watch out for our country.

They could buy and use Russian or even Brazilian planes.
The big mistake was giving Iran the $150 billion.
Need I say,”Follow the Money”?
The Boeing Deal with Iran!
That’s what the Iran Corker Amendment was all about. And the Pubbies agreed to it!
It was all about the money!
The Dems & Pubbies give Iran the Nukes! And in return Iran would give Boeing a Big ‘ol Contract...and then Boeing and the Chamber of Commerce would give lots of Money to Corker and all his Pals.
Ain’t It a Wonderful World....or what!
The nuclear bomb will be delivered on a Boeing aircraft to this country from Iran.
We maybe have one more election left to turn this around or you and I can forget the America as it was founded. Even today it becomes less and less recognizable on a daily basis. Do you hear the screaming and clapping seals at the Shrillary/Warren events? The culture is rotted through and through with sexual perversion and abortion the two top planks of the RAT party.
