As pressure and evidence began to mount, the State Department finally admitted the cash was in fact paid to the Iranians with the promise hostages would be released.

I thought all spending authorization originated in the House of Representatives.

Guess that’s gone bye-bye too.

How does this happen? Where is Congress on this? Why isn’t anyone in the media camped out in Congress or on White House lawn demanding an explanation?

Obama is becoming the largest funder of terrorism in the world. For Obama, no amount of money is too much to establish the Greater Caliphate and to cement his place in history as assuring the conquest of the West by the Jihadis.

Using Barry’s terminology, this doesn’t cost us anything. Rather, it is an ‘investment’.

And I fear this investment will yield large returns.

Why cash and gold? Just send weapons, drugs and sex slaves and save them the hassel of shopping for isis.
