Such discussions are reserved for those who deal in facts and fully understand language definition. The key word here is 'leverage'. Furthermore, it cannot be ransom when the funds belonged to them from jump street. They never received their weaponry medium of exchange of goods for payment. Their money accrued interest as well.

And it depends on the meaning of the word "is" is. Obfuscate.

They paid ransom for leverage.

No JARASAN, you are of low intelligence.

You can use which term you want, but Obama and the State Department made Iran $400 million dollars for 3 Muslim prisoners, who claim to be Americans. Ransom for 3 Muslims.

Why did they initially lie about this?

Because it is Ofraudo Em, he lies as much as Hitlery. Remember this is the administration that is going to be transparent. LOL. As transparent as his windows on "the Beast".

They got busted and are in full spin mode.

They have been spinning webs of lies for 8 years.

400million is just a drop in the bucket of their own money. There is millions more they will never see. The US did not pay a dime of tax payers money.

As Herman Cain would say, if Lil'sleazy and LL would stop drinking the fool-aid long enough to listen and become informed with factual information, they might just LEARN SOMETHING and stop making fools of themselves every day.

KKKALE, if I wanted to listen to repub wacko sites I would turn on the radio. You on the other hand, is indoctrinated and unable to express an original thought of your own. Herman Cain is a womanizer and Uncle Tom and does not speak for the Blacks in Georgia.

I is indoctrinated ?, LOL, your pitiful command of the English language is a never-ending source of amusement for me. Yep, I've heard you call Herman a few times yelling and screaming like the crazed left wing lunatic that you are before he cut you off and educated you on matters of common sense and common courtesy.

KKKALE, I posted the BIGOT TACTICS once, should I post it again since you seem to be slow.

Ummm, no. I already informed you once your silly list painted the perfect portrait of yourself. Lest you forgot already.

KKKALE, you are a slow learner. Your on-line degree is not helping you in the real world. You are an anti-social Albany bigot that is jealous. Well, that's just too bad because there is nothing you can do about my success but talk S#IT.

Otay !

KKKALE, what's wrong? You ran out of asinine things to say?

lil*sleazy you lost again, now go ahead and post the last word as you so predictably will.

JARASAN, you need help dude.
