A liar exposed in his lie by a nation that considers itself to be at war with the United States (skeptical? Get the details in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran), and the President of the United States to be a fool and a useful idiot for aiding them in that war.


“Iran Humiliates Obama: Airs Footage of $400 Million ‘Ransom’ For Hostages,” by James Barrett, Daily Wire, August 5, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Barack Obama and his State Department have had a very bad week. After the Wall Street Journal broke the news of a secret transfer of $400 million in foreign currency via unmarked cargo plane to Iran back in January, the White House has been forced to repeatedly deny having paid what was clearly in effect a ransom to terror-sponsoring Iran for the release of American hostages. Now, footage aired on Iran’s state-controlled television has surfaced that purports to show that cargo plane-load of cash.
Iran has aired a documentary created a few months ago containing footage of pallets of millions in foreign currency that the video claims was part of the “expensive price” the Obama administration paid to free the four U.S. hostages in January.
Though it’s uncertain if the footage actually shows the $400 million in foreign currency (used to skirt U.S. law forbidding giving Iran U.S. dollars) transported at the same time the four American hostages were released, the overt attempt to humiliate America has certainly done its propagandistic job, and throws more fuel on the fire for the administration….
