The Obama administration is declining to inform Congress about the number of American citizens and troops killed by Iran and its terror proxies, according to a document provided to Congress and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The administration was repeatedly asked by Congress to release figures describing how many Americans and Israelis have been killed by Irans military and terror activities since the countrys 1979 revolution.
In a series of on-the-record responses obtained exclusively by the Free Beacon, and provided in written form to Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), Kerry sidestepped the questions on all of the three separate occasions he was asked to provide the figures.

In the list of questions submitted to Kerry, Rubio asks: How many U.S. citizens have been killed by Iran, including by Irans terrorist proxies, since 1979?
The secretary of state declined to provide an answer, instead saying that the administration takes the murder of American citizens very seriously.
Remember.... Meg-GYN INSISTS he’s a Christian!!
Easy way to get their compliance...they get funding only when they comply. If the GOPe has any balls.
It’s worth shutting down the government to get that answer. Lets see how they would spin that.
"Sir, the nightly body counts on TV are eroding support for the war. What should we do?"
"From now on, casualty figures are classified information. No more TV reporting of casualties. Got it?"
Pick a number Redumblicans, run with it, and let Odunga refute it. I’ll go with 75,000, it’s now part of internet lore, therefore it must be true.
My opinion is that any soldier killed by an IED that was an EFP was killed by Iran. They supplied the expertise to build them and there are web reports they supplied the ingots, to boot.
That provides a welcome, sufficient cover for McConnell, Boehner, and the Republican caucus.

Of course this Muslim administration takes killing Americans “very seriously”.
It kills as many as it can every day, day in and day out.
It plots to kill Americans, day in and day out.
It was put on this earth by the heathan Allah to kill American so it thinks, so day in and day out, that is what it does, seriously.
Wow! Over 75,000 Americans killed by Iran or the groups they sponsor? No wonder Lurtch and Obummer won’t talk about it.
But Obama is NOT simpatico with Islam. Nope, no siree!
Mario stepping it up. Will this thing get legs?
Will this be Breaking: John Kerry reports 75,000 US Troops and American Citizens Killed By Iran Since 1979 Revolution - Obama Silent.
CONgre$$? Check$ and Balance$ they work until they don’t.
Republicrats feign outrage again?
Most transparent administration ever.
the number is close to 600 killed and thousands maimed and disabled...
I never understood why knowing that the qud force/iran was supplying the ieds abd supporting sadr, we didnt retaliate against iran.. that gave us the open door to level the radical islamic leadership and eliminate the quds top down...
