Sending Pallets of Cash Abroad

Reporters caught the Obama administration in a lie last week when it tried to say that the $400 million in Swiss Francs and Euros it sent to Iran were not part of a ransom.

In fact one of the four freed American captives confirmed the money was used exactly for that purpose.

President Obama lied to the American people and it's not the first time.

What's even more shocking is when we found out this isn't the first time the government has done this.

    Stolen from our pockets and given to the enemy.
    Not much different than SOP at the IRS.

      Didn't we pay ransom money to islamist until Jefferson became President and said, enough is enough.
      Doesn't this really demonstrate that progressive liberals are just a bunch of cowards?

        IIRC early in US history there was no standing army or navy to act "in US interests." Merchant freighters had to protect themselves and protection payments to pirates were done frequently This is remarkably similar to the protection payments withheld from paychecks of workers and paid in fear of government by producers in today's USA to support looting pirates of the Dark Center.

    It is amazing that American Liberty Report is shocked that this administration has lied, more than once when in fact that is just about all it does.

    What I would like to know is where does Obama get the authority to just hand over that kind of money to a bunch of terrorists who are our enemies? Where was Congress on this? I was of the understanding that they control the purse strings and therefore are the final authority. I had also understood that the policy of our government was not to deal with terrorists in any way.

      It no doubt came out of a Black Ops fund, and a tiny portion of it. And approved by Congess. In theory they do hold the purse strings. But in reality they make huge block grants to various bureaucracies and have been since at least FDR. Not what the Founders intended, and a top priority on the fix list.

    "Our top priority was to get the economy moving again.
    The first step was to get money into the hands of the Iraqi people as quickly as possible."
    U.S. Presidential Envoy L. Paul Bremer, as reported.

    Apart from legality and morality,
    did it work? No.
    Can it work? No, it is just Keynesian economics of throwing money,
    all it does is provoke inflation and enhance corruption.

    Pallets of cash being sent abroad are not a new phenomena. The Export Import Bank and the World Bank as funded by the USA sent pallets of cash to the Russian Oligarchs after the fall of the CCCP. Some of it made it as far as Switzerland. Some of it was traded for blue jeans.

    How do our government officials (and us) allow this administration (and others in the past) to get away with paying ransom? Even if it wasn't ransom, why do we give money of any kind, under any circumstance to an enemy? It makes no sense. Is this all part of the plan to undermine all of our morals and destroy this country? Will we be allowed in the future to kill our children if they embarrass us? Are we going to allow this country to go by the wayside without a real fight? I suppose we'll just continue to talk about it, and make excuses. I've already served my time in hell and I'm too old and tired now. That's my excuse, what's yours?

    Obama is a socialist muslim and all his actions need to be taken in that context. Soon, we will be rid of him, but probably only to be replaced by Hillary. I do hope Trump wins. He CANT be worse than Hillary
