I keep reading that the 150 Billion was not given - but I seem to remember that it was.

Does anyone have links to articles were it is claimed / proven that it was transferred / released?

150B was release in frozen assets
170B in cash was shipped on pallets in multiple denominations so it was untraceable.

You know its true because the left does not deny it.

Google it.

I think they freed up $150 Billion or so of frozen assets and then supplied a plane-load of pallets of cash designed to be untraceable ($1.8 billion) - could be wrong but ...

“I keep reading that the 150 Billion was not given -“

They are parsing words here. They insist the money was Iran’s anyway and it was being withheld from them. I don’t think there is a dispute over what the money was spent on.

President’s Statement

“Made available the funds”

That is a direct statement of fact. There was no rational reason to unfreeze the Iranian assets knowing full well Iran, the leading State Sponsor of Terrorism, was going to use those fund attack on our personal and our allies.

That the Obamabots are desperately trying to obfuscate facts with the utterly irreverent twaddle that “it was their money” is the despicable lie here.

Well it all depends on what the word “given” means, doesn’t it? The money was “released” in that we had seized a large amount of Iranian money, so in the sense it wasn’t ours to begin with, we didn’t “give” to them as much as let them have it back. At least that is how I understand it.

I don’t vouch for this site. Others may be more familiar with it.
