State Department Admits $400 Million to Iran Was Ransom. But They Don't Want You to Call it That!

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's RANSOM!

From the New York Post:

The State Department admitted Thursday that the US would not hand over $400 million in cash to Iran until it released four American hostages — two weeks after President Obama insisted the payment was not a “ransom.”

State Department spokesman John Kirby was asked at Thursday’s press briefing: “In basic English, you’re saying you wouldn’t give them $400 million in cash until the prisoners were released, correct?”

“That’s correct,” Kirby replied.

In an August 4 press conference, President Obama said the opposite.

“We do not pay ransom. We didn’t here, and we won’t in the future,” the president told reporters, speaking of the Jan. 17 payment and hostage release.

Lying about ransom to Iran...whats' the big deal? This Administration has lied about so much so often ("if you like your health plan you can keep it") that the truth is a stranger in Obamaland!
