Ummm ... Negotiating With Terrorists? $400 Million to Iran

[The Breeze]

400 million on a pallet and its sop? I don't think so.

 

[deltex1]

What do pallets have to do with anything? Why does the delivery method matter?

It was no secret that the money went to Iran, being the Obama admin publicly said so.

They publicly said the video did it in Benghazi.

 

[Dekster]

That it was done in cash is what is suspicious. We really don't know how much cash was involved. Just because we do not have direct bank transfers with Iran, there are many banks that could have accommodated the transaction like it was done 36 years ago when Iran released the American hostages then.

Anyway, it doesn't matter what the truth is. Just as long as people believe it was a payoff, that is all that matters. Just like when Hillary talks about how Donald could fly off the handle and launch nukes all on his lonesome when he cannot. Sucks this story is cutting into the Khan time on non-MSNBC networks but that is how the ball bounces some days

 

[owebo]

It was actually aired everywhere in January.

Trump fans, being desperate, needed to unearth the dead horse as a deflection.

Link to how many pallets they said back then?

They figured NaziCons were bright enough to do the math without detailing dollars per skid.

Link?

And how many refueling stops did the unmarked cargo plane need to make the trip?

I don't know - nor do I know how many times the pilots and crew took shits. Use your imagination...

we took a payment for product never delivered. we owed them money.

We took the money because Iran went to war with America, moron. Let me guess - you're under 35 and a byproduct of Leftard university brainwashing.

oh my. so much wrong.

we took the money as part if an arms deal that we never completed.

iran never went to war with america.

Yep. A byproduct of a Leftard university. No concept of history or reality.

It's not too late. lots ofpeople of advanced age go back and try to complete that degree, even those that couldn't hack it the first time.

there's probably some remedial classes you could get into.

Too funny. Probably one of those 30 year old professional students I used to see. Terrified to step out into the real world and be productive.

you dont have a degree, do you?

not that that changes anything. iran still never went to war with america and we did owe the money

Carter gave the Iranians the embassy and the hostages. Obama's admin gives Erdogan a reason to take a whole f'ing airbase hostage damn intelligent if you ask me. And its all those right wingers fault too!

This is the most corrupt adminstration we've ever seen.

Obama paid Iran $400 million ransom for American hostages: report

That story has already been debunked.

Looks like the right wing controlled CNN and NY Times are running lies.

True, but it was Iran's money in the first place. It was frozen assets that the U.S. simply returned to Iran. Since the U.S. does not currently have banking relations with Iran and could not facilitate a wire transfer of funds - the U.S. sent skids of cash. NaziCons shit their pants again for nothing.

The libturds spew propaganda like the good little soldiers they are. Except assets aren't released that way and the hostages were released at the same time. I don't think you tards actually believe your shit, you can't.

That was also aired by MSNBC. Several things came together at the same time. It may seem like a conspiracy to NaziCons - but it really wasn't.

 

[TooTall]

Yeah and frozen assets are always returned on pallets in unmarked cargo planes

You're thinking of the arms Reagan sent to Iran in exchange for the hostages.

The difference is Israel brokered that deal and we got paid for them.

LOL. You'll believe anything but the truth. That's too much for coincidence and the cash? Spare yourself the bother.

It wasn't American dollars..........so the Fedcoats are legally hiding behind that to skirt the fact that it is ransom money!

Shakespeare got it correct when he said kill all of the lawyers.
Afterall, it is simply a lawyers job to tell you you that what you are seeing is not true, even tho' it's the truth!

More food for thought...

Kerry also said Sunday that the U.S. and Iran had settled a dispute over $400 million in Iranian money dating back to before the 1979 Islamic Revolution and end of diplomatic ties. The Iranians also get $1.3 billion in interest. At issue was money used by Iran to buy military equipment from the U.S. before the break in ties between the countries.

You can't pay someone with their own money. When Iran took American embassy hostages, Carter froze their assets. But legally, the money never belonged to the US. It's been explained before many times. Why can't the GOP "get it"?

so you are saying that it's just a coincidence.

 

[blackhawk]

Doesn't look good no matter how it's spun.

...except that the hostages were released the same day and it would have taken time to cobble together the bucks and fly it out there. And you think they released the hostages and the US made time stop so they could get it to them that day?

Obama sent $400m to Iran as American prisoners freed

The pallets, which were stuffed with euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currencies, arrived in Tehran on January 17. That same day, four US citizens were released in exchange for seven Iranians held in the United States.

Obama paid Iran $400 million ransom for American hostages: report

The Obama administration secretly airlifted $400 million in cash to Iran in January at the same time Tehran was releasing four jailed Americans, payment that a top congressional Republican is calling “ransom.”

Reports: Obama paid $1.7 billion ‘ransom’ to Iran for hostages’ release

The Obama administration has paid a “ransom” of $1.7 billion in U.S. taxpayers’ funds to Iran for the release of American hostages, critics and Iran officials said.

Now that Obama has set the standards that America will pay ransoms for US citizens, every US citizen is now a target for being taken as a hostage.

I can tell you forgot to read the article:
The money represented the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement that the administration reached with Iran to resolve a decades-old failed arms deal signed before the Iranian revolution in 1979, the Journal reported.

You dont think its a bit more than a coincidence a 35 year dispute was settled at the time iran was holding american troop hostage?

Understood. I realized the thread title might be confusing. I didn't mean to be short with you, you are just one of many people who have started threads on this today.

 

[StLucieBengal]

So instead of just getting our people back as part of the nuclear deal we give Iran nuclear capabilities plus drop sanctions and release 150 billion.

For nothing other than the ability to air lift $400 million in cash on pallets in the dead of night.

Obama is a joke and by far the weakest president this nation has ever seen.

Even Neville Chamberlain is laughing at this joke.
