The Obama administration has asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit against Iran filed by Americans held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran 30 years ago.

The request comes in a $6.6 billion class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington. Fifty-two American diplomats and military officials were held captive for more than a year at the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency by a group of Islamist students who supported the Iranian revolution.

ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!

WHILE OBAMA AND THE DEMS DEMAND THE HEADS OF OUR CIA FOR STOPPING TERRORISTS, THEY ARE ALLOWING REAL TORTURERS WHO BEAT OUR PEOPLE, WITHELD FOOD, CLOTHING, MAIL, MEDICAL CARE TO GET AWAY SCOTT FREE.

OBAMA WILL ALLOW PEOPLE TO SUE THE US IN COURT FOR BEING CAUGHT TRING TO KILL AMERICANS, BUT HE WILL NOT ALLOW AMERICANS TO SUE IRAN FOR ILLEGALLY HOLDING THEM 444 DAYS!!

AND AHMADINEJAD WAS ONE OF THEM!!

God forbid that U.S. courts should actually protect the rights and interests of U.S. citizens, especially from the actions of a hostile foreign power. Everyone knows the U.S. courts are only supposed to protect the rights and interests of foreigners, especially the ones that do us harm and/or steal us blind.

Let me know what the title of that is...and you have your answer to what Obama is trying to start here in the U.S.A.

>>AND AHMADINEJAD WAS ONE OF THEM!!
 

"Manifesting the same misunderstanding of the real nature of Islamic radicalism that still dogs the State Department and other agencies today, Brzezinski embarked on a plan to strengthen Islamic radicalism for the geopolitical ends of the day. According to political analysts and Iran experts Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi and Elio Bonazzi, Brzezinski “instituted a plan to train fundamentalist Afghan Islamic mujahidin fighters in Pakistan under CIA supervision” — for which Carter’s successor Ronald Reagan is often blamed. Zand-Bonazzi and Bonazzi also point out that “the other major Islamist terrorist force active today is also the product of misguided policies of the Carter administration, which deliberately destroyed the Shah of Iran and allowed the Islamic Revolution to take place. Hamas and Hizbollah are direct emanations of the Islamic Republic of Iran, responsible for killing hundreds of Americans (recall the 1984 attacks on the US embassy and the Marine barracks in Beirut) and Israelis.” Although Hamas and Hizbollah existed before Khomeini, he was instrumental in their becoming and remaining significant forces.

 

And Khomeini owed his own political life to Carter. As the peanut President himself put it when Pahlavi made a final appeal for help to regain his throne in February 1979, “F—k the Shah.”"

Obama is dangerous...but he is not an idiot.

He knows exactly what he is doing and is going about it with a will. He promised to fundamentally change America and he is doing that on all fronts...economic, energy, military/defense, foreign policy, moral vaalues, etc, etc.

Once one understanding that Obama is an abject marxist ideolog, the rest starts to make perfect, terrifying sense.

For awhile I kinda laughed off those allegations that Obamie was a muslim-but these outrages are beginning to grow almost daily.

I'm thinking about that huge tin-foil ball in the record book and how it grew piece by piece.

I’m wondering how long until over 50% of Americans will need to get a bigger tin foil hat. At the rate Obama is going another 3 months and they won’t be able to make enough tin foil.

Is his plan to do so much so fast the typical american won’t know what the heck is happening, plus it takes a while for someone to come around on saying they screwed up on supporting Obama.

I honestly never expected him to move this fast and this far to the left, but then again I didn’t vote for him either.

I'm waiting for him to unfreeze Iran's assets at 4:55pm on some Friday. Iran will then pull all their money out right before the banks close. That will occur after the Friday evening news stories have been selected and by Monday it will be "old news" which isn't worth covering.

Maybe 5/22 would be good because that would be before Memorial Day weekend so there will be even less attention on Friday and it will be one day older news by Tuesday.

I was 50/50 about him being muslim but now after his first address to muslims
his first call to muslims
why the second oath he took in private, was it with a Koran?
his appeasing to muslims
his bowing and possibly kiss on the hand to the protector of muslim holy lands
postponing charges against the USS Cole mastermind
now this

He is a muslim and that i have no doubt

Iran is a major sponsor, if not THE MAJOR SPONSOR, of terrorism. It gives terrorist organizations weapons and money. Yet Obama has banned the use of the word “terrorism” in his administration, unless of course he and Napolitano want to refer to U.S. military veterans, who they say are terrorist suspects.

Obama is more concerned about trying to discredit the Bush administration than he is concerned about finding out the terrorists’ plans to strike us again - this month, this year, next year.......

Under Bush, we had no further attacks after 9/11/01. Under Obama, the jury is out, but he appears to be aiding the terrorists by releasing them from Gitmo, announcing that we will take all troops out of Iraq, appeasing Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela, revealing past CIA techniques, undermining the current CIA, and calling our veterans terrorist suspects.

I am afraid that FAR too many people in this country (and I mean the good and intelligent ones, not the lib Kool Aide drinkers) see Obama as a well meaning person even if they disagree with the things that he is doing. If only that were the case. I guarantee you that before his first term is up he will have caused or blundered into one of our country’s greatest catastrophes. I mean, besides the collapse of the economy. This is NOT partisan politics. This is an all out assault on America’s foundation and the fundamental values of the American people. He is out to change everything about who we are. He will not be happy until America adopts the opposite of its core founding principle....government of the people, by the people, for the people. Indeed, if he is successful it will become “government above the people, in spite of the people, regardless of the people.
