The Obama administration seems intent on humiliating the U.S. and bowing to terrorist countries and organizations that are, in simple terms, our enemies. For many living today, the attack on the U.S. consulate in Iran back in 1979 where 52 U.S. citizens were held captive for 444 days is a distant memory or even a short story in a dusty history book.
However, it was a major blow to U.S. prestige and is one reason why Jimmy Carter is seen as one of the weakest presidents in our history. Although the assault and occupation of the embassy was presented as an action undertaken by university “students,” it is clear that it was sanctioned and directed by the Iranian government.
Unfortunately, Leftist governments and states are seldom swayed by diplomacy, rather power and force are the currency they understand and deal in. It was only when Ronald Reagan was elected president and the thugs in Tehran recognized that their actions would be met with serious retribution that the hostages were released, even before Reagan took office. However, there were details left hanging that have just come to the fore.
Iran collects from weak Obama government, page 2:
NO !!!!!
Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior
No
BS the money was theirs. And the greatest terrorist are the ones that supported al Qaeda, under its many names. And that was not Iran.
Jail is where they should be!
I have no idea why they’re saying our tax dollars are going to Iran. It makes no sense on two levels:
1) The treaty was between not just the US & Iran but the entire Security Council (plus Germany) and Iran.
2) Even if we did give them money, they couldn’t do anything with it if all their accounts were frozen & sanctions were still in place. It would be the same thing as handing them tons of blank pieces of paper.
Is anyone in America asking why? Why is America paying this money to an moslime state that wants to kill Americans?
What do they care? It is the taxpayer’s dollars. We are consider a bottomless pit to the government.
Time for a bunch of good hangings
No money for Iran never ever
