Iran may have received an additional $33.6 billion in secret cash and gold payments facilitated by the Obama administration between 2014 and 2016, according to testimony provided before Congress by an expert on last summer’s nuclear agreement with Iran. [link to freebeacon.com] 33 BILLION FREAKING DOLLARS could have tidied up quite a bit around these parts. This is despicable at very best. And you know we wouldn't pay that kind of hard cash for a few good servicemen, payment also included gold and precious jewels. Bastards. Ohooha must've had his tit in a wringer big time, or that's the biggest bribe we've ever seen that I can remember.

Yeah.. Would be a lot cheaper just to detain a few Iranians back home and exchange an eye for an eye.. These money were not payed as ransom. Its tooooo big an amount And usually stated do not kidnap, criminals do that. Im sure there are some Iranians in the US Or some Iranian sailors somewhere.. The Obummer lead US is a failure beyond belief

Also of interest on this subject: Obama Ordering Changes in U.S. Hostage Policies [link to www.nytimes.com] At times, families were given conflicting messages, as in the case of Theo Padnos, who was held by the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda for nearly two years before his release last summer. His mother, Nancy Curtis, has said the State Department told her she could be prosecuted should she try to pay a ransom, while the Federal Bureau of Investigation offered to help her execute such a transaction. Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell Established [link to www.fbi.gov (secure)] In December 2014—in the wake of increased hostage-takings by terrorist organizations and criminal groups—President Obama directed a comprehensive review of U.S. policy toward overseas hostage-takings. The findings of that review resulted in the new presidential executive order announced today. “The fusion cell approach enables law enforcement and intelligence community partners to work in a collaborative environment to secure the safe return of U.S. hostages,” said FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano. “We will also be better equipped to serve the needs of families as we all work to bring their loved ones home.”
