Let’s give Iran, a certified state sponsor of terrorism, billions in cash. What could go wrong?
The Obama State Department is convinced that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad and his regime’s cronies are financing terrorism. How come? Well, because they conduct business in cash.
In fact, in its most recent annual report on state sponsors of terrorism, State frets “that 60 percent of all business transactions [in Syria] are conducted in cash and that nearly 80 percent of all Syrians do not use formal banking services.” This has created a “vast black market,” the components of which are exploited by “some members of the Syrian government and the business elite…in terrorism finance schemes.”
Interesting thing about that: There are only three countries on the list of state sponsors of terrorism — Syria, Sudan, and Iran. That last one is worth highlighting. Iran, after all, is not just the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism; it is also the world’s leading state sponsor of . . . Syria — providing it with lots of that cash the State Department is so concerned about.
Oh, I nearly forgot: Iran also happens to be the jihadist regime that President Obama just gave $1.7 billion to . . . in cash.
Or should I say, at least $1.7 billion.

You failed to mention any side secret agreements
Given this administrations prior pattern of behavior,
you can't forget any secret agreements.
Sultan Barak Hussein has become a genuine sponsor of Iranian terrorism with all that cash he sent to Iran. But what else would we expect from him? He trained the Sunni troops in Syria and Iraq and he is financing the Shia troops.
My head is still spinning on $1.7 billion in cash. How big a space is that? How did they divvy it up I wonder. I seem to recall a documentary where they showed the U.S. debt in hundred dollar bills. As I remember it covered a football field 6 feet deep.
