Obama adm.'s secret airlift of $400 million to Iran for prisoner release

https://www.yahoo.com/news/kerry-defends-400-million-payment-iran-says-u-154121585.html




400 million in funds frozen since 1981, plus $1.3 billion in interest owed to Iran. The remaining interest has since been fully paid from the U.S. Treasury-administered Judgment Fund, according to a U.S. official.

The funds were part of a trust fund Iran used before its 1979 Islamic Revolution to buy U.S. military equipment that was tied up for decades in litigation at the tribunal
 
Ms. LikestocryTraitor... Again. If any nation, even if we held money because they were a state sponsor of terrorism, takes our people then demands their money "back" in order to release them, it is still ransom. This isn't even a poor excuse and it certainly isn't an explanation. We should not "return" money that we "owe" to the Shah to Iran when they will turn around and use the money to sponsor more terrorism.

This would be like Hitler's Germany demanding we pay them to release some prisoners that he took because we "owed" Germany money when the Wiemar Republic was in power.

Wonder what was the quid pro quo when Iran released American hostages fifteen minutes after reagan was inaugurated. Cons praised that exchange.

You guys really should do some fact checking before posting silly stuff.

Todays news....

Pilot flying the hostages out of Iran was told to wait...he was not allowed to take off, not allowed to leave Iran
until the plane with the money landed in Iran......that is ransom money and only the pinheaded liberal Democrat apologists would not admit it....without that payment, the hostages would not be released....

Obama is Iran's puppet......Russia's puppet....Syria's puppet......ISIS's puppet.....

He should make one more world apology tour before he goes.....

It was reported tonight....hostages say they were told they would not be allowed to leave until the plane with the money landed....

They say they sat in the plane for hours, waiting for that arrival.....

As a matter of fact it was on tv right after Obama denied the whole thing....karma in action.....

not that any of this will make any difference to you....
