GW and Cheney certainly weren't.Ask Trump if the USA is any better...We could have kept the money but what message would that send to other foreign governments doing business with us?If the money we sent to Iran was a bribe, or a ransom, it was the most clever in history. Paying the bad guys with their on money.
I would say stupid rather than clever. They have tested a lot of medium and long range missiles since they got that money. Now they can put a nuclear warhead on them and start WWIII.
They might think twice before investing in our national debt or storing large fortunes in our banks.
They might, or they might think twice about sponsoring terrorism.
It goes much further back and much deeper than that.
