But, he says, “whatever benefit Iran may claim from sanctions relief pales in comparison to the danger it could pose with a nuclear weapon.” What if it funds jihad terror with unfrozen cash and develops a nuclear weapon under Obama’s porous and foolish deal?
“Obama admits some unfrozen Iran cash will fund terror,” AFP, August 5, 2015:
…”The truth is, that Iran has always found a way to fund these efforts,” Obama said, in a speech to defend the Iran nuclear deal.
“And whatever benefit Iran may claim from sanctions relief pales in comparison to the danger it could pose with a nuclear weapon.”
American says
You can fund a lot of terror for $100 billion. Obama’s argument is that killing a thousand people is a whole lot better than killing 100,000, so everything’s OK. No, it’s not OK. I don’t understand why this doesn’t constitute funding terrorism, in which case he and his administration should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is insanity. This has to be the clearest of all of his crimes; we can’t let this go.

Pacing the floor, listening to the calm, steady words of Obama’s passionate conviction, pausing now and then with no hint of nervousness about his argument, it was hard to believe he was talking about giving billions to Iran. No hint of guilt, to calm our concerns about the chants from Iranian leaders , “Death to America, death to Israel”, not one hint of concern as he as he breathlessly declared those statements,
.to be to be true but harmless to numb the rational mind.
Yes, this is insanity. And of course no one came on stage to say, ” Sir,put your hands behind your back”, instead I heard the submitted sound of applause.

Why not hold onto the assets, insist on human rights progress and political reform of Iran and then loosen the purse strings when real change happens in Iran.
In my view, the US and its allies hold the upper hand. They can force Iran to introduce reforms by dangling the moneybag.
By giving this terrorist state cash to oppress the Persian people and to cause trouble, the US will have to pay tenfold to CLEAN UP THE MESS.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH OBAMA? Is he childish?
This is an historic CATASTROPHE in the making, when it could be an historic opportunity for democracy.
Julian says
If you’ve read this guy’s background, it should come as no surprise why he’s doing this. He’s your typical Alinsky leftist who believes that America was created under unfair meanie-pants conditions and that ANY-thing that takes us down a peg, including nuclear attacks, is A-OK with him because we were mean to the Indians or something.

Grass green, sky blue, etc.
Yeah, it’s not lie they’ll use that money to fund their nuclear research – they signed an agreement where they say they won’t do such a thing. What are you, a bigoted, racist, islamophobe? Oh, and never mind that they keep shouting “Death to America” and saying that they won’t allow inspection of their nuclear sites – again, we they signed a piece of paper saying otherwise.
jewdog says
For some reason I doubt that a regime dedicated to murdering wayward infidels will have too many qualms about cheating in developing nukes to more effectively kill them. Or is that logic too cynical for Obama and his Kumbaya Klowns?

I’m so sorry. Proud to say I voted against him twice.

It’s illegal to fund terrorism, they throw Mahoundians in jail for that…Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is treason…
Of course Rasool Obama has committed treasonous acts before and never gets called on it except for small fry like you and me…Some of the people who could do it but wont do it will be on FOX debate stage tonight. I’m sure that subject won’t come up…
underbed cat says
I expect Trump will, he has made comments on the nuclear deal already, and called it “stupid”.
Hilliary’s emails…wrong but not this bad. Hilliary seems to get the criticism, but she is pales compared to her boss.
somehistory says
North Korea has nukes. North Korea needs money. North Korea is friendly with Iran. Iran needed money to buy from North Korea. Iran will now have money.
His statement about it *paling* in *comparison to getting a nuclear weapon* really makes no sense when one looks at the entire picture. Giving *sanctions relief* is not going to prevent them *getting nuclear weapons.*
Money is money. Buy bread, buy milk. Buy a car, house, medicine, illegal drugs, bomb making materials,…or nuclear weapons….money is money. Having it means they can decide how and where and when to spend it.
If a nation gets money from selling oil or grain or other products, and then gets money given to it by other nations, will it separate the monies given it from its other sources so as to not spend any of the money given in ways the other nations say not to spend? Does a wino or drug addict separate money received from friends, family or strangers given to “help buy food and shelter” from money stolen or gained otherwise so as not to spend the cash given on drugs or alcohol?
And if Iran does separate the funds relief from what they already have (which they won’t do), it doesn’t prevent them from then using what they already had to buy from North Korea. It just gives them more “flexibility” in using their money.
And if he wished to stop them from buying anything related to war or terror, he couldn’t. But he doesn’t wish to stop them.
Nimrod says
Iran just wants to get their money, buy weapons, and otherwise “resupply” for a long as possible. They will continue the same way, doing the same things, for as long as possible refusing inspections or any other cooperation. Eventually sanctions, etc, might be reimposed but by that time Iran will have everything it wants and it will be fully supplied for full-on warfare.

العبيد لا يمكن أن تعرف الحق والحقيقة ولا تعترف برجال الحق والقانون.
أكبر سياسي إنساني في العالم وحقوقي هو رءيس جون كنيدي ومات من أجل حقوق المدنية ومن أجل المسوات بين الناس وبين الأسود والأبيض ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
وعندما قتل من أجل حب أبناء الوطن وسلام . إن جميع العبيد لم تبكي عليه أو تصنع ثورة من أجله؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
وأنا شخصيا تكلمت كثير على حقوق أطفال العالم وحقوق أطفال القارة الأفريقية؟؟؟؟؟؟
ولم يعترف بإسم براك أوباما الأناني الغبي البليد؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
ولمادا أنا أعترف بالعبيد أعداء الإنسانية والمسلمين وضد الثورة العربية؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
إنهم أتحدوا مع الكلب المسعور رءيس روسيا اللدي يقتل شعبه في خفاء ويستعمر شعوب خارج وطنه
وإنهم أتفقوا مع الشيعة أعداء المسلمين وكل هدا من أجل القضية الفلسطينية و أصدقاءهم الدكتاتورية العربية . كيف أنا أعترف بقوم جهيل وشرير والحق والإنسانية بعيدة عليهم.؟؟؟؟؟؟
