So.....terrorists now have more incentive to take hostages?

Well, now the liberals can stop bitching about Reagan.

No, more like: Obama paid random money to a terrorist state.

Does this mean you all are going to stop butting up about Iran-Contra?

No, it's much easier to point out you're lying about Obama paying any money for a hostage release.

Obama just gave Iran $1.7 billion, so you're lying about him not paying the ransom money.

Obama is getting his legacy in order. It will be the same legacy as Clinton.

He is also releasing more from Gitmo. He just released 10 more. He will release the rest before he leaves and try to find a way to close Gitmo and give it back to Cuba. Perhaps he'll make a deal with the pen and a phone that Cuba gets Gitmo only if they take the remaining prisoners there.

Those funds are settlements on Iranian funds held by the US. It is their money. The 1.7B is a settlement regarding interest.

At least Reagan owned up to his mistake.
Obama will never admit to making any mistakes though his entire term has been a mistake.

Reagan never owned up. He claimed he didn't remember anything or know about Iran/Contra and his administration members fell on their swords for him. Fortunately for them Bush 41 handed out pardons. Big surprise. Who would have thought?

Are you saying Obama should be charged with a crime?

Obama has nothing to do with this 1.7B. It comes from putting a hold on a 400B Iranian Trust Fund used as collateral for buying US weapons in the 70's and was implemented in 1981 under Reagan. More sanctions were added over the years by every single President and approved by every single Congress. This money, the 1.7B however, is the direct result of a litigated settlement at the international court at Hague that was entered into long before Obama came into office. The Tribunal began in 1979 for the hostage crisis and was continued by Reagan in 1981. Obama is simply allowing the agreement to conclude as promised by every President from Reagan to Bush 43.

That's called caving in the name of self interest.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel more racist since Barry took office?

He is not owning up. He is apologizing for allegedly not knowing what was going on and admitting he should have. You have to have faith that the actor is being honest and sincere that he did not know what was going on under his command, which is what he is claiming. Just because you believe him doesn't mean others do.
