Since Hillary's Washington Post SuperPAC has declared this "payment" not to be a ransom, it is a ransom.
That's just my opinion.
I do appreciate the effort to share information. My beef is with the source.
Another Freeper summed it up best. “...the payout was the result of a ruling by an international tribunal” Great, how many armored divisions does the international tribunal have?
Damn, I threw up a little.
The Ministry of Truth spinners the liars of media weigh in.
The Washington Post is crapping bricks. The Nazi propagandists at the post know that the clown prince Obuma committed treason.
Hurl
A world gone insane. When the mushroom cloud goes over Tel Aviv from a missile fired from Tehran, be sure to remember the Washington comPost praised Hussein.
Yeah - holding our guys hostage was just a coincidence.... and laundering the money for them was just a bit of extra nuanced tactfulness....
“When the hostile Islamist regime took power, the military sales relationship collapsed.”
The deal didn’t collapse.
The contract was voided by the revolution.
Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) of the Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) make clear. . .they violate the T&Cs then the contract is void AND we keep the gear AND the bucks. It’s in the contract!!
Standard practice and done before (see Pakistan and the F-16’s they lost when they went nuclear). They violated T&Cs of the contract and therefore voided the contract and we kept the money and the jets.
Obummer and his minions are lying straight out when they say we “owe” the $400M to the Iranians.
Obummer and his minions are double-lying when they say an international court was going to rule against us. . .the T&Cs make clear that no third-party has any jurisdiction in any Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract dispute.
