Obama paid $400 million ransom to Iran
Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.
No clue how, but I'm sure a bunch of you lemmings are going to defend this and say Hillary will be better.

Looks like Obama is paying Jimmy Lannister's debt. -
I blame Trump
-
What, he didn't sell them guns? Total amateur.

Did Iran funnel any of the money to rebels fighting in central america?

Odd move for an administration that has been pretty outspoken about the fact that they will never create a market for American hostages by paying out ransoms.

Diplomacy, foreign relations. I'm sure Trumpf would have cut a much better deal using hid flawless business acumen.

What, again, does Trump have to do with the current President paying a bribe to a state sponsor of terrorism to release US hostages (and hiding this from the American people)?TheGlove said:Diplomacy, foreign relations.

I like to live in a country that has been sponsoring terror since at least 1910, and then act like an ignorant hypocrite about states that sponsor terror, while also belonging to a party whose biggest hero in the last 50 years did the exact same thing.HoustonHusky said:

Not true on many levels, but thanks again for being a lemming and trying to excuse it. And no, Reagan did not pay a bribe to release hostages...but thank you for playing.OZONE said:

Says the guy who apparently believes in the "October Surprise Conspiracy Theory"?
Only thing missing is...well...evidence...such as the WSJ documenting how pallets of cash were being flown to Iran in undocumented flights.
But keep spinning the conspiracy theories... -
Read up on Iran Contra. Reagan gave them arms. Which was a bribe. To get hostages from Lebanon.
He admitted it. After he tried to keep it a secret but was caught.
The October surprise was an entirely different incident. -
Grow up

No, that administration didn't. They sold them arms. Still bad (and a whole separate foreign policy discussion...just ask Hillary and her involvement with folks like Pinchuk and Ericcson AB and now Lefarge who was working with ISIS), but that is still a BIG, BIG difference from sending pallets of unmarked currency over for hostages.OZONE said:Read up on Iran Contra.

Well we had Ambassador Stephens do our arms smuggling. He sent weapons into Syria via an Al Qaeda operative to anti Assad rebels who turned out to be ISIS. Oh and then let them all get killed. No witnesses..........HoustonHusky said:

Not only bad, but illegal. When Carter tried to deal spare parts for Embassy hostages in 1980, it was legal. By the time Reagan's people did it, Congress had passed legislation making it illegal.HoustonHusky said:

I see nothing illegal in the WSJ report -
What law again was passed by Congress authorizing tax dollars being cashed out and sent to Iran in exchange for hostages? For all the Liberals worried about what Trump would do to harm the Constitution and separation of Powers they somehow get amnesia over what is actually happening.BearsWiin said:

None of this discussion is about Trump...it's about the actual event of Obama paying Iran for hostages, which is not something every President does. And yet you are still too stupid to realize this and ramble on about Trump. I guess we shouldn't expect more. -
News will be out that Hillary was running guns out of Benghazi which is why Stevens was still there
