Comics, 1-4-20: Obama & Iran

Obama paid Iran $400 million ransom for American hostages
8-2-16, WashingtonTimes -- In January 2016 Obama secretly airlifted $400 million in cash to Iran it the same time the Iranians were finally releasing four jailed Americans, he tried to argue it wasn't ransom. [chuckle] The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. and European officials and congressional sources, reported that Obama procured the money from central banks in Switzerland and the Netherlands. The cash was stacked on wooden pallets and flown to Tehran in an unmarked cargo plane. The cash was paid in foreign currency because any transaction with Iran in U.S. dollars is illegal under U.S. law.

Obama White House Caught Secretly Airlifting $1.7 Billion US
8-3-16, ZeroHedge -- What candidate Donald Trump proclaimed as the worst deal ever made, may just have become "worst-er." The truth behind the US-Iran nuclear deal, was as WSJ reports that John Kerry and the Obama ordered $1.7 bn of cash to be airlifted the rogue Islamic terror nation of Iran. Obama claimed the events were separate [$400 mill and $1.3 bill], but acknowledged the cash was used as leverage [aka quid pro quo] for the release of American hostages [aka ransom!]. The remaining $1.3 billion represented interest on Iranian cash the U.S. held since the 1970s. More here from LA Times 

Obama's Iran deal falls on ominous Bible date - WND
4-6-15, wnd.COM -- When President Obama announced a "framework" nuclear agreement with Iran – which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned threatens the very existence of Israel – few noticed the significance of the date. On the Jewish calendar in 2015; April 1 coincided with Nisan 13, the date in history when a Persian [modern day Iran] king signed an agreement calling for the destruction of the Jews. "King Obama has issued his decree putting the Jewish nation at risk of annihilation on the very same day that King Ahasuerus' scribes came together and issued their statement to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language and sent letters by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day." [..] The outcome may already be written down! The Bible records the Jew hater of the Bible's book of Esther, Haman was hanged on the very scaffold he had prepared for Mordecai, a Jew, and the king dispatched a letter exposing Haman's plot, instructing Jews to defend themselves.
