“Imagine if 0bama sold arms to Iran and used the money to fund a rebel army in South America. Would you say that was a bigger deal than ATF allowing lots of guns to hit the streets?”
You mean rebels against a Communist dictator like his buddy Hugo Chavez? HA, like that’d ever happen! (He’d be funding Chavez; he would’ve funded Castro as well. And we’ve seen how he sucked up to Brazil’s Communist leader at our expense.)
BHO et al love Communists. Reagan and North did NOT. Arms were traded to free hostages, Iran had long been an ally until fairly recently at that time, AND it didn’t have a fanatical, lunatic Twelver as leader who was racing full speed to build & launch nukes to obliterate Israel first and us (if possible) second.
BHO et al care nothing about our safety or securing our borders, view illegals as additional Democrat voters, and create/promote chaos & violence as a Progressive tactic to take our republic (and us) down. It’s also never mentioned how many terrorists and suitcase nukes have come across our porous borders.
As far as ATF “allowing lots of guns to hit the streets”, that’s wildly understated. The ATF, at the behest, or with the blessing, of BHO, Holder, Napolitano et al, aided and armed lawless, murderous thugs to kill our citizens & border protectors as well as public officials of our ally.
Hostages were thrown in on the deal - but the money raised was via selling arms to Iran.
The Iran that Reagan traded with was the same Mullah ruled Ayatollah Khomeini inspired regime. Iran was our ally under the Shah - the guy they drove out of the country. That they were not then on the brink of having nuclear arms doesn't detract from who they were and what they believed. It is the same people in power.
I repeat.....
