Whew, what a relief!
Looks like we really dodged a bullet with this Iran “peace deal” thing.
So, not to worry: We give Iran $50B as a “signing bonus,” they only use a “little bit” of the money to sponsor terrorism around the world.
Via IJ Review: Obama Cabinet Official: ‘Most’ of the Relief Money to Iran Won’t Fund Terrorism
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew acknowledged that large sums of money will be given to Iran as part of the sanctions relief, adding that “most” of it won’t directly fund terrorist operations in the Middle East….
During Lew’s remarks, he said that Iran will be under “enormous pressure” to improve its domestic economy, adding that funding terrorism is a “relatively small” part of Iran’s budget.
However, not everyone’s buying Lew’s statement. Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, spoke to Bloomberg’s Josh Rogin about the effort to give Iran relief money. Dubowitz said that:
“when you give bad people bad money, they use it for bad things.”
Yes, when a bad Administration gets a bad idea, bad things happen.

To extend Mr. Lew’s argument; No more than a few Americans will be killed by Iran’s funneling of U.S. taxpayer funds to Islamic terrorists.
And by the way Mr. Lew, it’s our money not yours. The difference between Lew’s view of Treasury monies and Clinton’s view of their charitable funds is…I can’t think of a difference.
A little bit of $50Bn is a lot of money.
Did someone tell him that or tell him to say that?
Jack You Jack!
