Anything for that Iran deal: How Obama threw national security (and troops' lives) out the window

Obama was asked why he didn’t require that Iran stop funding Hezbullah and Hamas as part of the deal. He said he didn’t want to confuse those issues with Iran’s nuclear program. And yet he was perfectly willing to let Iran throw all kinds of nonsense side issues on the table, and pay them for the privilege.

And as for the payment, they said we owed them this money. That only makes so much sense. If we lifted sanctions and needed to give them their money why couldn’t we just wire it to Iranian banks? Why a plane full of dollars, euros and gold bullion? Why was the US paying in euros? It smells like corruption. Nobody knows where that money ended up and it would be real easy for Iranian emissaries to stuff their diplomatic cases with kickback cash to distribute to politicians around the world.

The idea of sending pallets of cash to the people who trained and financed the planting of thousands of IEDs in Iraq that killed and maimed American (and allied) service men and women is galling.

Nobody knows where that money ended up

It is some consolation that this has added to the hatred of the Iranian clerical regime by the Iranian citizens. There was no accountability of where this money went, economic conditions have become worse, and they know America isn't the culprit.

I can respect that. Unfortunately, you probably shouldn’t get your hopes up. The dems may never run a NBC again the way they’re going.

Happy FReeping.

Hey Ted Cruz! (pretend constitutional conservative)

How do you feel about signing on to that deal with the devil(s) now dimwit?

We dodged a huge bullet by not electing that clown.

Small consolation. Obama saved all their families. Not that I would condone a revolution that attacked families, just that when they eventually do fall they will all live luxury lifestyles in Zurich.
