LMAO This was part of an agreement made decades ago. Jesus some of you guys are showing how you totally missed American history in school. Decades ago, the U S and Iran got together to hammer out a deal for 400 million in foreign bills, for the Americans they would eventually capture. Funny you beat the Reagan / Iran contra scandal every time Reagan comes up & now you want to give this a pass????!!!!!. Pure hackery !

Capt.Storm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 explain to me why this is. Just because it's foreign money that makes it ok..wtf? The Journal reported that the payment was in foreign currency due to any transaction with Iran in U.S. dollars being illegal.Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/iran-400-million-payment-trump-clinton-226605#ixzz4GHKuk8Pq Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook BTW this is a link to Trumps statement on the 400 mill.

Capt.Storm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The settlement was announced one day after the prisoner exchange and days after the U.S. and five other countries reached a landmark nuclear deal with Iranian officials. Amid all of the wheeling and dealing, Obama failed to mention the $400 million payoff. “For the United States, this settlement could save us billions of dollars that could have been pursued by Iran,” Obama said in January. “So there was no benefit to the United States in dragging this out. With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well.” http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/u-s-delivered-400m-iran-day-american-hostages-freed-article-1.2736294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 2 hours ago, Cold War said: Where does this guy get off questioning anyone's fitness for the office. This is the kind of foreign policy we want to continue? U.S. Sent Cash to Iran as Americans Were Freed - WSJ 400 million pay off 1,7 billion to come. Placate our enemies while playing bad ass with trump. Worst President we ever had. Was it their cash to begin with? Cash that was tied up in banks due to the sanctions? Or did Obama write a big ole check? Something Obama can't do without Congress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Storm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 explain this.. Iranian officials have demanded in recent weeks the U.S. return $2 billion in Iranian funds that were frozen in New York in 2009. The Supreme Court recently ruled that the money should be given to victims of Iranian-sponsored terror attacks. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/u-s-delivered-400m-iran-day-american-hostages-freed-article-1.2736294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Storm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 but yet it all happened on the same day. “As we’ve made clear, the negotiations over the settlement of an outstanding claim … were completely separate from the discussions about returning our American citizens home,” State Department spokesman John Kirby told the paper. “Not only were the two negotiations separate, they were conducted by different teams on each side, including, in the case of The Hague claims, by technical experts involved in these negotiations for many years.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Storm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Rep. Bill Johnson, Ohio Republican, said he will call on House Speaker Paul D. Ryan to appoint a special committee to investigate what he called a “very serious violation ” of foreign policy. “For decades, American foreign policy has been to not pay ransom for hostages, because to do so only encourages more kidnapping of Americans,” Mr. Johnson said in a statement. “Not only did the Obama administration violate this common-sense policy, it did so secretly. If true, this would make the Iran-Contra affair look like jaywalking.” http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/aug/2/report-obama-paid-iran-400-million-ransom-american/ Edited August 3, 2016 by Capt.Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
