Trump: Iran paid for missiles used to target US soldiers with money released by Obama

[liarintheWH]

Guess what?

The money did not go for missiles
Iran had the missiles BEFORE the Disarmament Agreement

So you are saying they never disarmed, even though they got pallets of cash to disarm?

Great Agreement?

Let’s see how rightwinger spins out of this.

Trump: Iran missiles fired at US were paid for with money released by Obama administration

President Trump took direct aim at former President Barack Obama on Wednesday, blaming the last administration for giving Iran money that he claimed was then used by Tehran to pay for missiles that were aimed at U.S. troops in Iraq.

“The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration,” Trump said from the White House, referring to settlement money the U.S. paid to Iran in 2016...

Whose money was it?

It was the money of the Iranian people, not the Mullahs that terrorize them.

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Does Trump have a receipt?

Does it matter? That we would release that money to a country that we know is a major sponsor of terrorism was a huge blunder by the last administration and shows how incredibly naive those people were.

Does it matter?

If missiles are a priority to Iran, they would find the money anyway
Trump is trying to shift the blame for his inept foreign policy to Obama

What is the matter with the Trump Foreign Policy now?

We didn't lose one man in last night's attack. And we were able to dispatch some of the worst Evildoers in Human History.

So can we leave Iraq now??

Or do we need to stay 50 more years because of how dangerous it is in Iraq or something??

Why can't trump just say hey -- I beat terrorism -- and bring the troops home??

You dic suckers would go along with it anyway -- so whats the hold up??

Right now, Iran is still a clear and present danger in the area, and America is close friends with tremendous allies like the Land of Israel and the fantastic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Why didn't we just invade Iran 18 years ago then??

Son of a gun! Iran had no missiles until Obama released their frozen funds? Amazing what Trumpbots will believe!

Are you purposely this stupid??

Once you understand Hate-America-First Marxist Dont-Think, the answer is apparent:
Because....We didn't lose one man in last night's attack. And we were able to dispatch some of the worst Evildoers in Human History.

[bullwinkle]

Apparently you missed the part where President Trump told Iran that they cannot have nukes, period. This will not stand.

Nah, heard that Trump said Iran cannot have Nukes. As I recall, he also told Kim Jong Un the same thing. The trick is to get the other side to agree. But we already had an agreement for exactly that with Iran and Trump pulled out of that agreement, along with manyparts of the American Constitution.
Typical Trump..by his actions he makes possible the opposite of his threats. Somehow it's like he creates chaos just so he can pretend to resolve chaos and it always backfires on him

Lastly, if the Iranian Regime were to develop nukes in 2020, that could make it more difficult in 2021, if America gets a leftist regime that wants to send them pallets of cash to their tarmac next year.

Don't go stupid on us my prince, most Americans with a brain are not fooled by that old lie anymore.

The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program.

Trump is a flaming liar!

~S~

 

[Olde Europe]

Trump often makes it sound like the United States cut a check to Iran as part of the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He also always uses too high an estimate, $150 billion, for the assets involved.

But this was always Iran’s money. Iran had billions of dollars frozen in foreign banks around the globe because of international sanctions over its nuclear program. The Treasury Department estimated that once Iran fulfilled other obligations, it would have about $55 billion left. The Central Bank of Iran said the number was actually $32 billion.

As for the $1.8 billion (actually, $1.7 billion), this was related to the settlement of a decades-old claim between the two countries, not the Iran nuclear agreement. An initial payment of $400 million was handed over on Jan. 17, 2016, the day after Iran released four American detainees, including Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian.

All money is fungible, but Trump is stretching the factual evidence to blame the missiles on the deal negotiated by the Obama administration. Experts say such a claim is far-fetched and that actual intelligence tying Iran deal monies directly to the missiles is highly unlikely. The White House did not respond to a request for evidence.

“There’s no way to corroborate that,” said Karim Sadjadpour, an Iran policy analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “It’s such an obviously unprovable claim I’m surprised it wasn’t excised.”

The guy will just throw out a lie and these damn stinking Trump Humpers just eat it up.

You do know whenever you are copying & pasting text that is another person's work, you are supposed to provide a link to the source. I mean, how hard can that be, brutha?

 

[sparky]

Trump misleadingly accused the Obama administration of paying for at least 20 Iranian missiles fired at US-occupied bases in Iraq
fat lying s*ck of wall street sh*t!

Don't you think they know that, Sparky? Of course they do. They know their Dear Leader lied. All that had been explained to them dozens if not hundreds of times. It's also easy enough to tell why it is they find that acceptable. It's acceptable because Trump truthfully represented their ardent desire to "Stick it to 'em." And that's the definition of "truth" they have been running on since 2016.
