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:
We definitely need NEW leadership in this country!
Not right!
this has got to be the most corrupt gov. in our history. bob
$ 1.5 Billion was Iran’s frozen-assets. $ 2 Billion is probably interest gained on $ 1.5, but perhaps $ $ 2 Billion could be tax-payer’s rightful money to pay SS’
It’s time to impeach this hole group before they give America to Iran.
The Iran Deal was not SIGNED, so there’s nothing binding – rules will be broken
Obama is a fool! This deal never should have happened!
We don’t have a till you IDIOT!!!
THIS IS CRIMINAL and they SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON AND PUNISHED!
Or else he could give every man woman and child in the us about $5 million each.
