Working tax paying Americans in grave danger...
(CNSNews.com) – White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. cannot proscribe how Iran chooses to spend the money it will get as sanctions are eased under a proposed nuclear deal.
But he said it was “common sense†to expect that the regime would use it to improve the ailing economy, rather than to step up funding for terrorism or destabilizing activities in the region.
Earnest said what had brought the Iranians to the negotiating table in the first place was a desire to ease the effects of sanctions imposed by the international community over the nuclear standoff.
The pressure Tehran’s leadership was responding to was “not primarily†pressure to get sanctions relief so the regime could spend more on terrorism or destabilizing activity, he said.
Rather, “the pressure they’re reacting to is from the Iranian people who are frustrated at the persistent, and persistently negative economic conditions in their country.â€
“I do think that a common-sense look at what kind of pressure they’re reacting to indicates that their priority will be to use those (newly-available) resources to address the persistent economic problems in the country.â€
We are close to getting screwed over by owebuma again. I'm surprised he hasn't called Gruber in to close the deal.

The two are not mutually exclusive, some share of the money could be spent on each objective. In fact it's a virtual certainty that such will be the case.

Maybe it's because of my total distrust of muzzies, but I'm leaning toward them spending the lion's share if not all of the money on terrorism.

'Funding terrorism' could be interpreted as 'Destabilizing Other Governments in the Region.' So, the dollars spent do two things at the same time.

Obumazombie: "... but I'm leaning toward them spending the lion's share if not all of the money on terrorism."
I agree.
"Iran invests up to $200 million a year in Hezbollah."
"Iran is focused on exporting its Islamic revolution, not on projects like improving infrastructure."

Krauthammer says its possible that Iran would double funding to the "Assad regime in Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon & Hamas in Gaza & Yemen." Add to that the continued investment in their nuclear infrastructure.

So one wonders, why would the President of the United States, who refers to Iran as a "state sponsor of terrorism" want to lift sanctions on a terrorist nation? A nation that has said repeatedly it wants to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Perhaps magical thinking? I say, therefore it is? ".....it could lead to more investments in the Iranian economy and more opportunity for the Iranian people, which could strengthen the hands of more moderate leaders in Iran."

Lifting the sanctions does not make any common sense. Plus, improving Iran's economy is not my concern. These barbarians have manufactured road side bombs that have killed or maimed thousands of American soldiers. The moron in the W.H. thinks that helping Iran will appease these radicals politicians. You have got to be sh!tting me if you believe that baloney.
