Kerry dismisses Iran’s financial support for Hizballah

“The notion that the $100 billion which Iran will obtain ‘is going to make all the difference in the world is just – it’s not true,'” Kerry said. No, but it is going to make some difference. It is going to cost people’s lives. As will this entire disastrous agreement with Iran.

“Kerry Dismisses Iran’s Financial Support for Hezbollah, Other Terror Groups,” by Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, July 15, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

(CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday played down concerns that Iran will use the windfall from sanctions relief under the nuclear agreement to boost sponsorship for terrorists, suggesting that groups like Hezbollah do not benefit all that much from Iranian financial support in the first place.

The notion that the $100 billion which Iran will obtain “is going to make all the difference in the world is just – it’s not true,” Kerry told the BBC in Vienna after the Iran nuclear agreement was announced. He was responding to a question about concerns that Iran could use funds gained through sanctions relief to increase support terrorists.

“What Iran has done for years with Hezbollah does not depend on money,” he said, in reference to the Lebanese Shi’ite group, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. Similarly, he said, Iran’s controversial activities in Yemen and Iraq have not “depended on money.”

Just a detail, you little piece of dung.

Now I'm off to Gstaad. Must try out a new jet-powered fondue fork.

The Iran deal is a triumph of diplomacy.

Now, rather than allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons on their own, we’re paying them to do it.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Iran wouldn’t give all that much money to Hizbollah and Hamas. They’d spend most of it on developing The Bomb and building a nuclear arsenal, and keeping it nominally secret so that numbnuts Lurch and nonuts Obama can remain in denial.
