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.

Jim, what was Israel’s punishment?
B******T , how about it comes out of Congress’ till . They are our enemies & should not be getting one penny from us . They want to kill us , remember ?
365 days into the bum is gone he is not my president
as a tax payer I object. our hard earned money and it’s use should not be in the hands of irresponsible persons. it should not go to terrorist nations that hate and despise all we, as Americans, stand for; it should not be used to supply other countries with weapons of war to use against us. Iran is oil rich while new ways of obtaining oil and other fuel resources are being denied in this country. nuf said.
Really pisses me off that they are funding terrorists with 38 cents out of each of my hard earned American$.
That’s just what the majority of Americans want their tax dollars to support. Iranians who hate us. Smart move obummer.
Take it for Congress and Senate pay
For what purpose is he giving away money to the enemy is he nuts or hundred percent against American people the people that pay his paycheck
what happen to THE USA WILL NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST ? OBAMA & KERRY NEVER HEARD OF THAT ?
