File under: Govt of Iran

#1 U.S. President Barack Obama defended the settlement in a televised statement from the White House, saying it was for "much less than the amount Iran sought."

They asked for a trillion dollars and the nuclear bomb. He only gave them $1.7B and the nuclear bomb.

This from a man who spends $8,000,000. on a two week Hawaii vacation.

As long as he's out of office.

#6 "much less than the amount Iran sought."
OH, alright then.
We sure are lucky we have John Kerry and Hussein Obama doing the negotiations.

And what did the Iran give us besides a fudge covered finger and a couple of girls pink bicycles?

Interest is forbidden, but fees are fine. Tomayto/tomahto, but don't tell anyone.

#14 To continue the thought to the next level: members of the Master Religion may not pay interest. Dhimmis exist to be sheared like sheep and harvested like a field of grain, so them (us!) paying compound interest that increased the amount we have to hand over by an order of magnitude is just fine.

#15 It is clear to me that outrage is beyond the emotional scope of many of the people who live here. They literally accept any tripe as appropriate, and Champ and ValJar have destabilized the middle east to the point of war. As soon as the funds were released the Iranians pledged to buy 114 airbus aircraft, a huge act to dissuade any European power from participating in the SnapBack snactions that we are going to claim after they violate every aspect of this ridiculous agreement with Iran. Kerry is as dumb as he sounds, and Champ is anything I ever imagined an American President could be and not be impeached.
