Those foreign dictators fall for the ole exploding cigar trick every time...After a second look at the details of that payment to Iran, it does leave me with some unanswered questions and feeling a little disconcerted. Either way, it still doesnโ€™t alter my opinion of the overall merit of the Iran Deal.

There is no question we gave the money.
Revisionist reporting, however, questions whether it was legal, owed to them, a hostage trade, related to military weapons, or tainted with disease ala exploding cigars to Castro....or an underhanded gift to terrorists that illustrates how incompetent we were as negotiators under Okenyan

Still waiting for someone to state why it was a good idea to bail out of the Iran Nuclear Deal. What did we gain?


easy to take pot shots at arguments for staying in...but make the case for backing out...

I hadn't considered that perspective.
It was a bad deal (IMO) but have we gained anything?

It's like a bad haircut.
Shaving it all off isn't always an improvement.

well, we all tend to automatically lean in the direction that we typically side with, but what makes this case one of the more difficult issues to be sure of is most private citizens simply don't have all the facts and probably never will.

Three reasons why private citizens are in the dark: they believe what their leaders of choice tell them; their leader of choice intentionally deceives, misleads, or misinforms them; and most private citizens aren't interested in doing the research and intellectual work to discover the facts.
