The Obama administration confirmed late Sunday it had delayed the imposition of new ballistic missile sanctions on Iran to ensure the Islamic Republic released five imprisoned Americans under a secret agreement reached on the sidelines of the nuclear negotiations, according to senior administration officials.
The officials confirmed that "secret" talks between U.S. and Iranian officials had been taking place for the past 14 months.
In exchange for the release of the five Americans--including a Washington Post reporter and Christian pastor--the Obama administration pardoned or dropped charges on 21 Iranians convicted of violating U.S. sanctions, including seven who had been detained in the United States, according to a State Department official who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon on background.

Why, it’s almost like our enemies have something on Obama and are blackmailing him.
Libya.
I hope the FBI stops him before he orders our military to use nukes on us.

Or he IS the enemy. A prominent Israeli scholar actually came out and said Obama considers the creation of Isreal to have been a “historical mistake” that Obama wants to correct. This was in an article posted here earlier.

I disagree. Obama is the enemies you speak of. He is doing the destruction incrementally. Now he is speeding up the destruction of our once great Republic.

Omoron is doing exactly what he was put there to do. There are no surprises here. This is treason pure and simple. But nobody gives a damn. There are people that actually died for their country but this country has already been taken over and people are too blind and stupid to see it. No problem just keep going over the cliff.

the Obama administration pardoned or dropped charges on 21 Iranians convicted of violating U.S. sanctions, including seven who had been detained in the United States, according to a State Department official who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon on background. In the America prior to 1981, without question, any president who would pardon foreign agents plotting to export American weapons and technology for use against Americans, would be impeached for treason. No doubt whatsoever.
What have we become?

Don’t worry, he’ll get some more someplace so he can make a trade and give more money to the enemy.
