obama sold us out for thirty pieces of Iranian silver

It was all so strange. Why were democrats so protective of Qasem Soleimani? Why did they side so strongly with Iran over the United States? Why were they emphatic about protecting the pathetic Iran deal which Iran has been violating since day one?

Now we know.

A few days ago Michael Doran,Senior Director for the Middle East under Bush, sent out a tweet

https://twitter.com/Doranimated/status/1215600795602837505

I found this astonishing. Now Lee Smith has fleshed it out.

Because the fact is that the Democrats are not pro-terrorist. They’re simply intent on protecting the historic agreement that legalized the nuclear weapons program of a terror state.

Democratic leadership is angry it wasn’t briefed before the operation, as were some Republican lawmakers critical of the scant information in the White House intelligence briefing on the attack. But there is reason to believe senior Democrats would have leaked it to the press, as they’ve done repeatedly over the last three years to prosecute their anti-Trump campaign. In particular, House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff and his staff have used CNN as a platform to push the discredited Trump-Russia collusion narrative. Why would Democrats endanger U.S. national security by leaking highly classified plans of a major operation against a terror leader? Because Soleimani was the centerpiece of the nuclear deal.

Here Smith mentions Doran and that a source confirmed Doran’s assertion:
Former Bush administration Senior Director for the Middle East Michael Doran said on Twitter he had knowledge of messages from the Obama administration to Soleimani. “We don’t know the subject matter of the messages,” Doran told Tablet, “but given the tenor of Obama’s letters to [Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei, it is a reasonable assumption that the administration wrote to Soleimani to court him rather than to deter him.” A senior U.S. official confirmed to Tablet the existence of the messages from the Obama administration to Soleimani.
The Iran agreement was designed to allow Iran to have a nuclear bomb by the end of the second term of obama’s successor.
In 2023, the U.N. ban on assistance to Iran’s ballistic missile program will end. The ban on the manufacture of advanced centrifuges will begin to expire, shortening the amount of time it will take to build a bomb. Perhaps most importantly, in 2025, the U.N. snapback mechanism allowing the U.S. to reimpose sanctions will expire, meaning that we would need to persuade Russia and China to restore international sanctions on Iran. The effect is that there is nothing short of military action to stop the Iranians from marching toward the bomb. It was Obama who said that by years 13, 14, or 15 of the deal Iran would be within a hairbreadth of a nuclear bomb By 2031 with all nuclear restrictions lifted, the Islamic Republic will have a full-scale nuclear weapons program.
And that $400 million? It was your money, not theirs:
The most infamous payoff was the $1.7 billion in cash the administration shipped off to the IRGC on wooden pallets in exchange for U.S. citizens held hostage by the regime. The White House said that there was no “quid pro quo,” that it was Iran’s money to begin with—$400 million the pre-revolutionary government had deposited in 1979 to buy U.S. arms, plus interest. But the U.S. had already used the $400 million to compensate terror victims of the Islamic Republic. That was Iran’s money. The $400 million the Obama administration used to “pay back” the Iranians belonged to the U.S. taxpayer.
obama designed the deal to cripple the next President:
If this all seems unbelievable, it’s because it is—and also because you’re probably still imagining that Obama’s goal was to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. But once you understand the real purpose, these moves become much clearer. To wit: Why did Obama give the regime enough uranium to make 10 nuclear bombs? To pressure the incoming Trump administration to stick with the nuclear deal. If Trump chose to leave the JCPOA, he’d have to deal with the fact that with 130 tons of uranium already on hand Iran had an easier path to the bomb. In effect, the last president handed the Iranians a loaded gun to be pointed at his successor.
Trump would have none of this and blew Soleimani and the deal away. Now fiction writer Ben Rhodes’ attack on Trump also makes sense. He boasted that he could make the press swallow anything he said

John Kerry has to be lapping out of that dish, as well.

How much did ALL of our elected and appointed get for their part in violating the Constitution?

Obama is not a natural born citizen.

I would suggest looking to see how much of those billions paid to Iran came back to the US .

It is really foolish to think that the Ukraine crimes happened in a vacuum.

It is much more likely that the Ukraine crimes followed a pattern that has existed for a period of time.

If my suspicions are correct, it would explain the frenzy in the dim hierarchy.

I have always wondered how much of the pallet loads of cash made it’s way back into the USA and into the hands of certain politicians.

Gee, who could have foreseen that he would sell out US interests? It's almost as if he is a muzzie terrorist-wannaebee who used to claim to have been born in Kenya then stopped when his rich muzzie handlers told him to.

Good analogy but it was for a lot more than 30 pieces of silver

And this correlates well with Pelosi’s attack on Trump. She is trying to prevent the US president from doing anything about Iran. She is working with Iran and protecting the cult regime. She needs to be arrested imnediately. Either you do that or we do it.

I wonder if Kerry is thinking about trying to manipulate the Iran situation to launch another bid for the Presidency, given the lackluster field of candidates they have running. He’s a year younger than Biden but doesn’t seem to be showing signs of senility. He would have won in 2004 if he had carried the state of Ohio. Maybe the pro-Iran, pro-terrorist, pro-treason faction in the Democrat Party would rally behind him on the grounds that Sanders and Warren can’t be elected.

Holder, Brennan, Jarrett and Obama.

All need a hemp treatment.
