Remember the nuanced negotiating he did to get our captured servicemen back from Iran? From Jay Solomon and Carol E. Lee writing at the Wall Street Journal:
U.S. Sent Cash to Iran as Americans Were Freed
The Obama administration secretly organized an airlift of $400 million worth of cash to Iran that coincided with the January release of four Americans detained in Tehran, according to U.S. and European officials and congressional staff briefed on the operation afterward.
Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown into Iran on an unmarked cargo plane, according to these officials. The U.S. procured the money from the central banks of the Netherlands and Switzerland, they said.
Kerry was brilliant I tell you - he held their feet to the fire until they gave in to his wishes:
“With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well,” President Barack Obama said at the White House on Jan. 17—without disclosing the $400 million cash payment.
Riiiighhht... Take credit and do not mention that you and your administration caved to the enemy. One more:
“As we’ve made clear, the negotiations over the settlement of an outstanding claim…were completely separate from the discussions about returning our American citizens home,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said. “Not only were the two negotiations separate, they were conducted by different teams on each side, including, in the case of The Hague claims, by technical experts involved in these negotiations for many years.”
Pants on fire - I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit... What self-centered idiots.
