Obama’s 8 years in office has cost America dearly…
It will take triple that time to recoup our losses and much more time to provide a clear path to proper governance and rule of law, let alone amend the constitution to stave off further eroding of the system.
Iran Claims It Has Received More than $10 Billion in Cash from U.S. Since 2013
Bribery is not unknown in the Middle East. In fact, it’s considered just another cost of doing business.
For the Obama administration, it was the price they paid to keep Iran at the negotiating table so that a deal on their nuclear program could be hammered out.
An Iranian official has confirmed that the U.S. has sent the Iranian central bank more than $10 billion in cash, gold, and other assets since 2013. Since the nuclear agreement, we have been sending Iran $700 million a month. That money includes the $1.7 billion paid in ransom for U.S. sailors being held hostage by the regime.
The latest disclosure by Iran, which comports with previous claims about the Obama administration obfuscating details about its cash transfers to Iran—including a $1.7 billion cash payment included in a ransom to free Americans—sheds further light on the White House’s back room dealings to bolster Iran’s economy and preserve the Iran nuclear agreement.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi confirmed last week a recent report in the Wall Street Journal detailing some $10 billion in cash and assets provided to Iran since 2013, when the administration was engaging in sensitive diplomacy with Tehran aimed at securing the nuclear deal.
Ghasemi disclosed that the $10 billion figure just scratches the surface of the total amount given to Iran by the United States over the past several years.
“I will not speak about the precise amount,” Ghasemi was quoted as saying in Persian language reports independently translated for the Washington Free Beacon.
The $10 billion figure is actually a “stingy” estimate, Ghasemi claimed, adding that a combination of cash, gold, and other assets was sent by Washington to Iran’s Central Bank and subsequently “spent.”
“This report is true but the value was higher,” Ghassemi was quoted as saying.
“After the Geneva conference and the resulting agreement, it was decided that $700 million dollars were to be dispensed per month” by the U.S., according to Ghassemi. “In addition to the cash funds which we received, we [also] received our deliveries in gold, bullion, and other things.”
Regional experts who spoke to the Free Beacon about these disclosures said that the $10 billion figure offered by the Obama administration should be viewed “as a conservative estimate for what Iran was paid to stay at the table and negotiate.”
I joked, at one time, that the plane loads of $100.00 bills on pallets sent was simple jizya. Now my opinion is much more sinister. Obama was a weasel in our henhouse showing the mere tip of his evil intents iceberg while, as we reluctantly suspected, viciously working AGAINST AMERICA AT ALL TIMES! He and his minions have scarred Lady Liberty deeply, but she still stands. God bless PDT. God knows what to do with B.O. I regret only that is escaping our nation’s justice in this life. Shame on each and every lemming voter that supported that creature.
