The head of the Iranian regime's notorious Basij militia claimed Wednesday that Iran had received $1.7 billion from the U.S. in exchange for the release of imprisoned Americans, contradicting the Obama administration's denial that the settling of a decades-old legal claim amounted to a ransom.
Tehran's semi-official Fars news agency quoted Basij commander Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Naqdi as saying in an address to militia members that the U.S. agreed to pay the money to buy freedom for what the news agency called "its spies held by Iran." ...

Obama is their bitch. Everyone knows it.

You know the world is screwy when you believe Iranians before your own government.
I’ve always believed them when they said they intended “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”.
I will trust the Iranians before I would ever trust this Administration.
I wonder if Obama refused to pay extra for retired FBI Agent Bob Levinson.
