U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry couldn’t keep the lid on it, and admitted Thursday what critics long suspected – the White House knew billions of dollars in sanctions relief granted to Iran under President Obama’s nuclear deal would be going straight to funding terrorists.
And they did the deal anyway.
Kerry said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum the U.S. or others can do little to prevent the now-unfrozen assets from getting into the hands of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps or “other entities,” presumably terror groups, that Iran has supported in the past. Kerry admitted he wasn’t sure if such transfers had yet occurred.
“I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists,” he told CNBC television in an interview. “You know, to some degree, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented.”
“Whatever amount may flow to them, I am just trying to be honest, I can’t tell people that, ‘No, some amount might not,’ but we don’t believe that that is what has made the difference in the activities of Iran in the region,” he said.
A group of Republican senators in Washington chided Kerry, telling reporters it was always clear to them that Iran would use its unfrozen assets to finance terrorism.
Led by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., the senators also said they plan to introduce legislation to impose tougher sanctions against Iran for conducting ballistic missile tests in violation of a U.N. resolution. They called the punishments proposed by the Obama administration for the testing “tepid and weak.”
“Talk about stating the obvious. I mean, c’mon,” Ayotte said of Kerry’s remarks. “It’s something we’ve all known from the beginning. (Iran) was supporting terrorism when their economy was crippled. They were choosing to put their money into guns, not butter, for their citizens before they had this economic relief.
“To have them actually now say, ‘Well, we think some of this might go to terrorism.’ Duh. I mean, really? It’s been so obvious all along,” she said.

Our muslim president Is the No.1 terriorst in this mans opinion Isis don’t hold a chance against him
I agree Bob. If we are lucky, when he leaves Washington, he will move to Iran where he can be with his own kind.
Or get hit buy a bus
Boy! would I like to be driving that bus.
OR A DONKEY! HE IS A ASS HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, he will make sure that whomever is the democrat candidate, he/she will continue his policies. He’s not going to allow his movement to destroy America, to stop when he’s out of office. He has a middle east movement supporting him. He nor they, will simply throw up their hands when his term is over, and say we did as much as we could. He was groomed for decades to be the POTUS. This isn’t like any other presidency we’ve experienced in this country, where they simply step down and traveled around making speeches for the remainder of their life. His presidency is a movement! The questions is – will Hillary be indicted, taking her out of the race? I believe BO will get Biden into the race, since Uncle Joe can be manipulated to continue the Obama movement. Obama needs a puppet, who can barely function on his own. JUST MY THEORY!!
What’s sad is, this traitor was voted in because of color not for his character. And the foolish American and illegals voted him in a second time for the same reason. He should be impeached and thrown in jail for treason.
Hey Bob, You are 100% correct! No.1 TERRORIST IN AMERICA………………………………………………………AND FOR ALL MY LIBERAL FRIENDS………..Thanks a lot, you fine, wonderful, DEMOCRATES…………..WHY DON’T YOU DO IT ONE BETTER AND SEND YOU MONEY TO HILLARY TO BECOME THE NO. 2 TERRORIST FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
SHIL-LIER-RY will become NUMBER ONE in Funding Terrorists..
Just want to hear one thing when the next President takes office: Mr. President, you have the right to remain silent, you have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you………………..
What can the reason possibly be for Congress allowing this man to continue to old office?
” Obama funding Iran Terror” HECK SOUNDS JUST ABOUT HIS STYLE!!
we need to put the Traitor Muslim asshole obuma in the same Cell with the Traitor Clinton Bitch ,to make our Country safe and great again !!!both of them make America puke ,
Totally agree. That Monkey Muslim piece of SHIT
where is the damn worthless congress vacationing ???????????????
Of course he knew. This man actually said in a statement today that he is proud of his accomplishments as president. I thought I was going to puke. Can’t stand to look at his face or hear his voice anymore.
and then we are Subjected to have to listen to HAIRBALL Kerry making more Brain Farts about the ” possibility” that 160 Billions ma be used by Iran to Fund anti America TERRORISTS….Are we just so “LUCKY” to have such a Stable of MORONS running the USA and State Department???
I agree. I have felt that way from day one. Have believed from the beginning that he was a Muslim plant. He says in his own books that he is and that is where his loyalties lie. Funds for his initial campaign were way more than he could account for.
And papers that Michelle wrote in college put her solidly in the same anti-American camp. Do you think she would really like to take her girls and go see how they would be treated in that culture?
I so cannot stand to see or hear either of them and their appearances on T.V. whenever they can get a shot disgusts me.
Unfortunately, it is the GOOD ones who get assassinated by bad men. The EVIL ones do not get what they deserve from good ones. All we do is pray he will pay eventually.
So Amen!
When a Muslim Refugee terrorist that was allowed into our county kills people as a terrorist those that allowed him passage are guilty of murder also and we need a law that holds them accountable.
We do. It is called “Accomplice to Murder”.
With OUR corrupt judicial system? Heck, that wouldn’t even be a slap on the hand.
That said, all the truthful things being said, out “BIG BROTHER”, who spies on everything that goes on the Internet, will probably interpret everything we say on these comments to mean we are the committing treason. That is just the way the mass political crooks operate.
I experienced 13 consecutive Sheriff’s Deputies commit Perjury without batting an eye.
Of course it was their lawyer that told them what to say. Still, they perjured themselves with impunity. Our judicial system sucks the BIG weenie.
Carter was 100% better than this administration. Carter put the sanctions on Iran in 1979. He had most Iranian students deported too. Kerry works at foreign policy as if it’s something to do when it’s not yachting season. The middle east is at it’s most barbaric state ever. Europe is in crisis as a result. Yet, Hillary is running on a platform of this administrations “success”. Strange!
Besides the 100’s of billions of dollars given to Iran and the training they received from our military, do you honestly think the sailors accidentally floated into Iranian Territory? At first, they said they were having mechanical problems, and then they said they misguided the boats into enemy territory. Besides possible guns, ammunition and other military supplies, I am sure with technology the way it is today, there is quite a bit of information from cell phones, computers and other things about the U.S. and other countries that could have been given or traded to them…..and out of all of that, we give an apology….pretty sketchy!
I wouldn’t be suprised if the boatsman was a Muslim terrorist in one of our Sailers uniform. We are letting anyone in the service of the U.S. now-a-days.
Of course he funds Iranian terror! One would have to be deaf, dumb and intentionally STUPID to think otherwise! Obama has surrounded himself with IRANIANS starting with Valery Jarrett and followed by Hillary and her Iranian contacts such as Huma Abedin!
Both have family connections in Iran! How could they possibly NOT be connected? Then there’s all the muslims inside our government now courtesy of Obama and his socialist party! So what are our so called elected representatives doing about it?
NOTHING!
Apparently The US Congress is allowing the foolish Obama & Kerry to complete this deal because of the Financial Disaster that Obama has created with an insane deficit. Obama thinks he can use this last year of his lame presidency to cause even more devastation to the USA & then jump over to the UN & become the Secretary General of the UN. He could then attack the USA that will be totally defenseless & financially destroyed because of his actions. He thinks. The problem is…. he’s not as smart as he thinks he his. He WILL BE stopped dead in his tracks very soon. Praise be to God & The Christian Nation of The United States of America! Pray for the boy.
POTUS has created so much BAD KARMA since he’s been in office that it will be returned to him in triple at some future time. Remember what goes around comes around. What a fool!!!!
You should know by now that Obama is 100% anti American.
Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is treason.
I would say that Obama and his puppet, Karry are exempt from that charge.
I have emailed Congressmen, Senators and dept. ceo’s about this and have not received a response. With the mob we call government, I don’t expect one.
WHEN IS THE STUPIDITY OF OUR COUNTRY STOP AND GET O’BUMMER OUT OF OFFICE BEFORE HIS TERM ENDS AND WE LOOSE ANY MORE OF OUR NATION TO WHAT IS GOING ON NOW. I AM SURE IF SOMEONE WOULD TAKE ACTION THIS MORON COULD BE TAKEN OUT OF OFFICE, BUT THEN WE MIGHT HAVE THE OTHER CLOWN BIDEN TAKE OVER HE CAN’T FIND HIS ASS WITH BOTH HANDS. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND HELP US SAVE OUR COUNTRY.
I, SON AND MY WIFE SAID YOU ARE SO, SO, RIGHT!!!!!!!
I also say you are more than right ,
I just can’t see how this country can survive an other year with this chimpanzee. God please help us all, as we pray to you.
Trump is our only hope!

YOU ARE RIGHT ON IN ALL YOU WROTE!
What we need is a constitutional amendment to allow the people to call for a confidence/no confidence vote to kick an unsuitable president out of office and just rely on congress to do it.
Everything Obama has done, since holding the office of President, is unacceptable, corrupt, and as I see it , treasonable. If he really thinks people view him as an AMERICAN, he is sadly mistaken. Unfortunately the moans who voted for him are now sitting in their own remorse. To think they are making a big deal out of citizenship for Cruz, is incomprehensible. Why didn’t anyone do that with Obama? Long story short, he is funding radical Islam and the terrorists, under the pretext of helping others. It’s a damn lie and anyone who believes that needs to see a shrink.
when will that Traitor Obuma be put in Prison for treason ,I can not wait ,get him out ,are we that stupid and let him completely destroy our Country ? the incompetent Idiots in Washington need to join him in Prison now .
amen–deport barry soorento back to indonesia where he came from
Why did the Senate abandon their responsibility to approve such agreements? Why did they give the president a blank check and set the rules where they would have to override a presidential veto to blank this bad deal.
The senators should have had better sense than to give away their constitutional responsibility. The people who thought giving the president the blank check in creating this bad deal should be exposed. The voters need to know who these lazy or stupid senators are so we can work to retire them on election day.
Do not vote for any incumbents!
Send a loud and clear message that we don’t approve of how they are acting on Our behalf.
We elected them. It is up to us make sure they don’t keep the jobs that they are doing so badly.
Oh, and make sure they get the same in pensions that they would get in Social Security for equal compensation. After subtracting what they should have had deducted, of course.
This nation is domed if we don’t stop GIVING away all the money to forion county’s, and stary taking care of our own, I know that we have to help some of the people, but ther should be a limit of help! STOP sending are miltary and equipent,and sticking our nose in
other people business!!!!!!!!!!
Really, anyone is surprised by this?
YOU KNOW WHAT THE ABATION FOR GOVTMENT IS: GOVT.
GROUP OF VOLSER ON THE TAKE!!!!!
Obama is the Supreme leader of ISIS. I they know that the money will used for terrorism, then why release it and give it to them. He should be charged with treason.
Our gov’t officials are f-cking morons. What political official did’t think that these funds wouldn’t get into the hands of terrorists. Are they that stupid? We need to know who and what their philosophy’s are before we elect these f-cking idiots. Maybe we should start electing common folk instead of these career politicians. They say one thing and do what lines there pockets, maybe that monkey of a president we have is getting a kick back on that 160 billion. Vote for Trump or just put a bullet in all of us starting with Obama, Kerry and the whole Clinton clan along with Democrats, they put us all in this predicament.
Forgive me Lord and I apologize for lowering my standards to the level of Obama and hilarity.
Obama and his administration is the dumbest i have ever seen in my life and i am 70 years old.
And most corrupt
In my little town there are children going to bed hungry every night and if this is true that congress allowed two billion dollars sent to Iran, then this proves that our leaders are traidors and are trying to set america up for invasion of the terrorist. Go see 13 hours of Benghoza, true story three years ago. It will open your eyes on folks running our government.
Trump for president 2016 and wish sooner with impeachment.
When the voters of this country get off of their chairs and vote instead of sitting back mumbling about what we should do this could be eliminated. After the first four years it would have been sensible for the people to have voted him out; of course there have been rumors that the election was rigged, but my goodness, surely our super-intellects on OUR payroll would n’t do that, would they?
The two political parties are nothing more than two outlaw gangs.
Suggested reading, a book called Democrips and Rebloodlicans.
should he be excited for treason ?
Amen!!!
Soon after Obama was elected, I changed from Democrat to Republican. Obama has a communist family history, has been best friends with communist, past terrorist, now University Professors etc. etc….. I believe that Obama is a cloak for his Muslim Brotherhood friends. The Muslim Brotherhood has been listed as a Terrorist Organization. Obama has Muslims as his closest advisers in the White House. I believe he cloaks terrorist over Americans because he still wants to bring people into the USA, even when they can not be vetted properly as not being terrorists. America will certainly better off when Donald Trump is President and builds a wall, goes after terrorists, brings jobs back to USA, gets rid of illegal aliens.
