It's also important to note that the money was certainly recorded and marked in ways that makes it traceable. Not only is it a fraction of the money we were holding hostage, it is potentially a valuable espionage tool to see who they are giving money to. Of course they know this as well and will not dare giving it to anyone who might make them look bad.So let me see if I have this right. We owned $400 million to Iran. They wanted their $400 million and we'd agreed to give it back to them. But Obama put a condition of the delivery of Iran's money....that Iran return prisoners to the US.
Which Iran did. And republicans have inexplicably called a 'ransom'.
Um.....generally speaking a random doesn't already belong to the people you are paying it to.
He's right. Obama used Iran's own money to assure the return of the hostages. That was brilliant!
iran has held those prisoners for years and been owed the money since 1979. if you think somehow that they arrested those citizens thinking they could exchange them for their cash you're delusionalHe's right. Obama used Iran's own money to assure the return of the hostages. That was brilliant!
This is why you can't really debate with the left anymore. Their minds have the ability to skew anything into anything they want.
Iran wanted their money back so they took hostages. THey demanded their money back in exchange for hostages which is a ransom.
If I use a criminals own money to pay him off....is it ransom?
"This was not MY 'Red Line'...this was the WORLD'S 'Red Line'!
...and the WORLD laughed at his lying ass.
Now Barry realizes NOBOBY is buying his bullshit that the $400 million he handed over to Iran was NOT a ransom...
He realized that Americans (and the world) are not as stupid as he thinks they are. He does, however, still think they are pretty stupid, as evidence by his latest spin on the ransom story:
He now admits the $400 million he gave to Iran WAS a ransom....but he now claims that it was IRAN who paid the ransom!
He claims Iran did not hold the hostages until the mandatory cash ransom was paid...HE claims HE held the mandatory cash payment to Iran until the hostages were released.
They set the cost.
They demanded 'cash only'
They set the location
They set the time
They had nothing to gain by choosing a secret drop in the middle of the night
Negotiating for the release of the hostages, as Barry claims it was, would have been something to brag about...
Even Barry knows this looked like a ransom, smelled like a ransom, and was a ransom. This is why he paid the money SECRETLY and tried to keep it quiet instead of bragging about how he secured the release of these Americans.
No one is buying this spin.
No one is buying this bullshit.
...and NO, as you have learned, if you liked your plan you could NOT keep it.

the 'true believers' as you call them are the ones pretending two thingsyou really have a tough time understanding that we owed iran that money and they were getting it, eventually, whether they released the prisoners or notso Iran traded hostages for money then, instead of us trading money for hostages? Wow, that is soooo different. LOL.
however you want to see it, moron, the administration traded the money for the people. It was a clear condition of this deal, which they have now admitted, after initially completely denying, so you can basically shut the fuck up or keep making yourself look like a fool, it doesn't really matter to me.
Bull-oney.
You people have a tough time understanding that by making the cash a bargaining chip they made it part of the deal.
How that is not self-evident to someone who is such a sharpie that they are calling out others for their obtuseness I dunno, but I do know I find that pretty funny.
Then they lied about it, of course. They wouldn't have had to if one of two things had been true:
1. They hadn't made it part of the deal, as they claimed.
2. It didn't matter so there was nothing to conceal.
And now, of course, it doesn't matter to the true believers, who are busy spinning, spinning, spinning.
1) that paying a debt arbitrated at the hague is ransom
2) that using the debt payment as leverage for the return of our citizens is somehow bad
1 - Sure if it had nothing to do with the release of the hostages, except, yeah, it did, despite the lies initially told by the administration.
2- Utterly irrelevant. Good, bad, up, down. Just irrelevant.
It got the hostages released at no cost to us. I marvel at why dopes like you think that's a bad thing.
