President Obama has become the Neville Chamberlain of our time, outmaneuvered by Iran.
Was the money a ransom for the four prisoners released by Iran the same day? The White House denies it. According to Obama, the payoff was to settle a debt the U.S. owed to Iran that could have ballooned into the billions if we had not agreed to the deal.
It gets even more amusing than that.
Why would the U.S. ever owe money to an adversary or honor a debt to one? Our debt would be owed to the former government of Iran which was overthrown, not the current regime.
