Welcome to the Rightwing distortion machine.
The artifact belonged to Iran. It was looted by Iraq and found in a cave in Iraq. Obama returned it.
On the other hand, Reagan shredded the constitution by illegally selling weapons to Iran, the world's leading terrorist nation. Talk about a gift.
The right would not get away with this bullshit if their voters had access to credible media sources.
Dumbass.
He sold them tow missiles, an obsolete weapon we had no further use for, and were storing at taxpayer cost. Ollie North sold them at a grossly-inflated price to Iran to use against Iraq (any problem with that?).
It was enough to sustain them in battle for about 3 weeks. It got some hostages out and
the U.S. made a shitload of money on the deal. Basically,
North ripped off the Ayatollah,
gave the U.S. the money for the missiles (they never would have been able to sell otherwise), sent the profits to the Contras in Nicaragua to fight the Communists, resulting in free elections right as the Soviet Union started collapsing. You don't know your history very well, do you?
LIAR!

Traitors North, Secord and their Muslim co-conspirator Hakim kept the money.
