Per FOX news.
Sounds like, You ain't goin nowhere till we get the cash.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Is the $400 million (billion?) figure the one the Iranians paid but did not get the jets for it?

 

[Katzndogz]

That money should have gone to pay the judgment American citizens were awarded.

I know the story. You can't tell it, because all you did was scan the headline. You know nothing about it. One is a bank and the other a country, do you understand now?

He does not need to tell you more. Your fucking pathetic talking point from soros was just crushed you piece of shit.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Yeah we're supposed to believe the money had absolutely nothing to do with the hostages.
Uh huh, yeah and I was born last night.

 

[Katzndogz]

Of course it was ransom. obastard isn't fooling anyone.

Right. A lie from the 70s' gee let my find my old newspaoer to check it.

Pastor Saeed said he waited for hours on the tarmac waiting to be flown out. He asked what was going on and the Iranians told him they were waiting for another plane.

A plane that we now know was filled with pallets of currency. As if a 40 year old dispute couldn't wait a day to set up a wire transfer of the money. Only a lemming stooge can believe it was not a ransom payment.

Bonus: Kerry and the White House say the money might be funding terrorists planning attacks.

 

[Avatar4321]

Which certainly demands the question why would they pay them with currency that couldn't be tracked. If they are going to engage in illegal activity with Iran and be completely unashamed about it, why not keep a paper trail?

Those pallets of cash likely were flown to every terrorist group on the planet. For all we know cash strapped North Korea sold them a nuke.

 

[Fenton Lum]

Well, if they did, the US certainly helped them.

The Two Faces of Donald Rumsfeld
2000: director of a company which wins $200m contract to sell nuclear reactors to North Korea
2002: declares North Korea a terrorist state, part of the axis of evil and a target for regime change

"The reactor deal was part of President Bill Clinton's policy of persuading the North Korean regime to positively engage with the west."

"The type of reactors involved in the ABB deal produce plutonium which needs refining before it can be weaponised. One US congressman and critic of the North Korean regime described the reactors as "nuclear bomb factories".

North Korea expelled the inspectors last year and withdrew from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in January at about the same time that the Bush administration authorised $3.5m to keep ABB's reactor project going."

The official claim is that it's Iran's money being returned, as per the nuke deal. If that were so, wouldn't they have given back to them ages ago? The timing of this, combined with the manner in which it was delivered, points to Iran being paid to release hostages. The new rule is that we DO deal with terrorists and go so far as to give them the best deal possible.

Now that they have nukes and tons of money, will Obama take responsibility when they attack?

 

[EriktheRed]

Yeah, It Was a Ransom Paid to Iran

Not just because you wingnuts say it is.

 

[depotoo]

Why would they? They didn't keep track in fast and furious either.

It would not have been returned physically, it would have been the push of a button.
