Writing at the always excellent Washington Free Beacon, Adam Kredo notes that Iran is openly bragging about the large cash payout our weak willed, embarrassing president handed them on a silver platter
Iranian television has broadcast what some say is purported footage of the $400 million pallets of cash that officials claim was part of the “expensive price” paid by the Obama administration to free several U.S. hostages.
The footage, which could not be independently verified, shows images of large stacks of hard currency and features claims that the Obama administration sent this money over as part of an effort to free several U.S. hostages. The White House vehemently denied these claims this week following new reports about the cash exchange.
BBC Persian reporter Hadi Nili posted the footage on Twitter, describing it as showing the “pallets of cash” and quoting officials as saying “this was just part of the ‘expensive price’ to release Americans.”
The footage, which is from an Iranian documentary published a few months ago, contradicts claims by Obama administration officials maintaining that the payment was completely unrelated to the release of these U.S. hostages, despite the payment having been supplied on the same day these individuals were freed by Iran.
The Iranian regime continues to exist at the pleasure of the United States.Regime change is an absolute last resort, as Iraq and Afghanistan have taught us, but it is entirely possible. But the Iranian regiem’s continued provocation of the Obama Administration and the Obama regime’s subsequent capitulation to blatant acts of aggresion is a total and absolute disgrace that suggests the administration understands that the Obama Administration will always place an ideological aversion to conflict of any sort above the interests of the American people.
