...8. He spent a good deal of time discussing Saudi Arabia. He said since his first days in office he has sought a dialogue, but Iranian overtures have been rebuffed. He was told by the Saudis, “leave the Arabs to ourselves”. He recounted that he left the World Economic Forum immediately and made the long trip to Saudi Arabia for the funeral of King Abdullah. But he received barely a handshake for his efforts. Saudi Arabia also sees relations with Iran as a zero sum game. The Saudis think ISIS can help them against Iran. Iran has sent a new Ambassador to Saudi Arabia who they trust, and he hopes this will help the relationship.

> 9. I asked him about the use of the unfrozen assets, and I said that people here will be looking to see if Iran spends its new-found funds on its people and investments, of if substantial amounts go to Hezbollah. He gave a tough response. “The money is our money and it was illegally blocked by the U.S., and what we do with our money is purely our business.” He further said, “You spend 10 times more in the Middle East than we do, and what has it gotten you?” He contended Iran would only get $40 billion and we will spend it for our people.

> 10. If we give funds to Hezbollah, they are a positive force in Lebanon, and have kept ISIS out of Lebanon.
Fantastic. We give them money, they give some to Hezbollah. Never saw that coming! /sarc
This one is interesting, however:
Quote:
6. Just as politics in the U.S. are difficult, they are also “difficult” in Iran .A member of the Iranian parliament said that Zarif’s hands should be cut-off for shaking hands with President Obama at the United Nations this week. It is wrong to think that all decisions in Iran are made by one man.

Want to work on some of that formatting so we don't go blind trying to read it? And how about a link?
You do realize that for the last five or six pages of this thread you have essentially been talking to yourself, right?
And this is why:
But if it makes you happy to talk to yourself, by all means carry on...
#1: This is for information. It doesn't necessarily warrant constant responses.
#2: I notice that most Hillary supporters are too scared to make comments. Some tried and got smacked down by their own ignorance.
#3: Do you have those other people on ignore? What's that right above your own post?
#4: The only people "tired" of the emails are Hillary supporters who want to pretend that she's not a corrupt lying beast. The fact that you continue to support a traitor who knew that Saudi was supporting ISIS, and Saudi supported her, as well, via her Clinton Foundation, is sickening. You Beast supporters can keep trying to shut down the truth, but you're not going to prevail. I will not stop posting. If that makes you so upset that you want to come here and soil yourself in front of everyone, you should probably find another thread to participate in...such as "Pop Up Books for Grown Ups...Help With Reading Comprehension The EZ Way."
The latest dump let out this little gem which I thought was humorous.

The fact that you are getting almost no response should tell you something. Post after post after post, and the best you can muster is one or two like-minded cult members chiming in once every three our four pages.
But go ahead and continue to believe many people are reading your unending posts, but are simply too in awe of them to be able to muster up a response. If Trump supporters excel at one thing, it is the ability to believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Ha Ha sorry.. I did not know it would paste like that. I have to go back and find the email.
