State Department won’t rule out $50B ‘signing bonus’ for Iran



By Adam Kredo
·Published April 21, 2015
·Washington Free Beacon

The State Department on Monday would not rule out giving Iran up to $50 billion as a so-called "signing bonus" for agreeing to a nuclear deal later this year, according to comments made to journalists following reports that the Obama administration had formulated a plan to release tens of billions of frozen Iranian funds.

Experts have said this multi-billion dollar "signing bonus" option, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, could be the largest cash infusion to a terror-backing regime in recent memory.

A cash release of $30 to $50 billion upon reaching a final nuclear agreement would come in addition to the more than $11 billion in unfrozen assets that Iran will already have received under an interim nuclear accord reached in 2013.

When asked to address these reports on Monday, State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf attempted to dodge the issue and then accused reporters of getting "spun up" on the issue.

Asked whether Iran could receive $50 billion "on day one after signing" or verbally agreeing to a nuclear deal, Harf told reporters that she would "look into it."

When pressed to provide an answer about the Journal's initial report, Harf declined "to go line by line in the story."

Harf said sanctions relief to Iran will continue through June 30

FIFTY BILLION???

ALLAHU SNACKBAR!

But somehow Bush is to blame.
Had this regime been in office during WWII, we'd all either be speaking German or Japanese. I thought Carter should have been hung for giving away the Panama Canal, but this is total insanity.

I'm pretty sure Congress would have to approve even a $1.

There's between $120-150 Billion in locked accounts. As soon as the sanctions are lifted obama's corporate buddies will be able to sell weapons, or components to Iran.

Russia has already started...

A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots
Jeff Foxworthy:
If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

President Obama lied to the American people about the true nature of Iran's nuclear program, according
to declassified material. Add this to a litany of lies told by our president.
Declassified material reported on by Bloomberg confirms the following:
“The Barack Obama administration has estimated for years that Iran was at most three months away
from enriching enough nuclear fuel for an atomic bomb … Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz acknowledged
that the U.S. has assessed for several years that Iran has been two to three months away from producing
enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon. When asked how long the administration has held this
assessment, Moniz said: 'Oh quite some time.'”
However, as Bloomberg also reports, and as you probably remember, Obama has consistently told the
American people that Iran is at least a year away from developing a nuclear weapon. This is otherwise
known as the “breakout time.”
Obama even contradicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the issue. Netanyahu's
breakout time has always been more urgent than Obama's. Now we know that Bibi was closer to the
truth and Obama knew the truth but lied about it.
It seems as though we are willing to do just about anything to secure a deal with Iran, even if it's a bad
deal.
This includes giving Iran $50 billion as a bonus for signing a nuclear agreement. You read that correctly!
This cash release would be in addition to the lifting of sanctions, which is also worth billions. According
to experts, that “could be the largest cash infusion to a terror-backing regime in recent memory.”
These negotiations with Iran should not have gone any further without Iran agreeing to a few
preliminary things, including recognizing Israel's right to exist and stop sponsoring terrorism.
Those seem like pretty reasonable requests for a country that claims it wants to be a part of the
community of nations. Yet instead, we bow to their demands without any reason to trust them. Even as
they are shouting “death to America,” we continue down a path towards a nuclear Iran.
And then on top of it all, we have this proxy situation with Iran playing out off the coast of Yemen.
If you will remember, Iran launched a convoy of ships off the coast of Yemen, where it is supporting the
Houthi rebels whom have toppled the government and continue to take over cities and government

institutions.

As of yesterday, the United States has stepped up its response and is moving a Navy vessel off the coast
of Yemen for the purposes of blocking Iranian ships carrying weapons to the Houthi rebels.
According to the White House, it has concerns about Iran's support of the Houthis. No kidding! Why can't
the nuclear negotiations start there? Stop fomenting terrorism in the region by supporting the Houthi
rebels before we will agree on a nuclear deal.
It's hard to believe that the United States has come to this position in its international standing. We
won't stand up for our red lines, we will berate our allies and coddle our enemies. Unbelievable.
