The United States released $8 billion in frozen assets to Iran on Sunday in a move meant to ensure Tehran’s compliance with a nuclear pact signed over the weekend, according to top Iranian officials.

Iranian government spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobakht confirmed on Monday morning that the U.S. government had unfrozen $8 billion in assets that had been previously blocked by the Obama administration.

And here I thought the Republicans were the party of stupid.

[Mark17]

So, when will the Iranians launch their first nuclear tipped missile?

[Sacajaweau]

congress will be fuming.

They tried this with Iraq under the UN agreement before the war. Saddam built 51 palaces for himself..and $2 went to his people.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is what the entire charade was all about.

[ColdOne]

One of my first thoughts...........only a few will get the cash. I couldn’t post my first thoughts.

[sickoflibs]

Great news. So when do the tour trips and vacation resorts open up in Iran?

This is just like when the Berlin Wall opened up.

They'll use this money to try to burn Israel to the ground.

So we pay first and verify later. What a deal. I guess they owe the Russians a lot of money for missiles and reactors.

[Truth29]

So Obama moves quickly to release the funds to Iran before the fraud in the deal is made even more apparent than it already is. I trust the Sunni Arabs are royally pissed of at Obama.

We had the world behind us, our nuclear capability, strategic arms in place, a people angry (and hungry) at their own Iranian government, new persons in power in Iran, the resolve of our Congress and the American people.

And we blinked.

[bray]

Terrorists need cash too. Wag that dog!

Pray America is Waking

[SpaceBar]

We should send them some tetraethyl lead for their messerschmidts too.

Just like old times.

[Truth29]

of = off

How does paying up front ensure compliance?

What it means is if you get a crappy job, chances
of getting your money back are nil.

These Obamites are so stupid there should be a law
against them holding office.

Let me tell you about Ahab the Arab / The sheik of the burning sand / He had emeralds and rubies just drippin’ off ‘a him / And a ring on every finger of his hand.
