Greetings, Mo. :2wave:
The fact that Iran received $4.2 billion, then was given an additional $2.8 billion in additional funds from the Obama administration in 2013, to keep Iran committed to the talks through November is astonishing. Keep them committed? Who wanted this lousy deal in the first place? Then to read that negotiators parted ways without reaching an agreement means that $7 billion dollars of taxpayer money was spent for nothing. How much more are non-productive talks going to cost us? Why wasn't the money held in reserve, dependent upon reaching an agreement?
We have, in effect, given them billions of dollars to fund the very terrorist groups that we are purportedly fighting, since we see crowds shouting "Death to America" as their response. The Iranian leaders are sneering at the negotiators publicly, and they are paying for the privilege of being made to look like naïve idiots? WTH is going on in this administration? Unless I am misunderstanding what is happening, I'm afraid I agree with those that advocate tightening the sanctions on that arrogant country, not eliminating them! You are correct - Iran doesn't need this deal since they are getting all the money they want already! :2mad:

It wouldn't be prudent for Iran to agree to anything, as long as Obama continues to send them billions of dollars to keep them at the bargaining table.
But you come under immediate attack from his minions when making statements like "Obama hates America," or "Obama is a Muslim sympathizer."
