WASHINGTON—The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.

Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.

So, before the deal they removed the sanctions that had been working. They allowed Iran to keep their nuclear enrichment program. And they allowed them back into the world market. They acknowledge that Iran can achieve nuclear power in a decade.

Meanwhile, during the deal the Iranians took Navy sailors hostage and even made a statue of it, chanted Death to America, and gave up absolutely nothing. And we couldn't even get our prisoners released without paying them?

Remind me again what's so great about this deal.

Check the WSJ's site:

It's behind their paywall:

U.S. Sent Cash to Iran as Americans Were Freed - WSJ


Yet another of the hundreds of lies that President Becky Obama has told since 2007........and he thinks Hillary is the "most qualified" presidential candidate ever?

Dude's back to the Choom Gang, smoking dope and doing blow.

The entire thing was a lie. They (Obama) lied about the whole thing. The government is nothing but one big continuous lie. They lie about everything and explain nothing.

And people keep on voting for it.

Default Obama paid 400 million to get our 4 sailors back?

Breaking news on Fox right now. America never pays ransom because it leads to more abductions

And they would have you believe Trump is dangerous. We've had a Manchurian candidate for the past 8 years in office and another one on deck.
