Chairman Ed Royce's (R-CA) Prohibiting Future Ransom Payments to Iran Act (H
.R. 5931).
***Original Post***
The Obama administration recently threatened to veto legislation that would
prevent America from sending future ransom payments to Iran. The threat
comes after reports that the White House paid Iran $1.7 billion to ensure
the release of four American prisoners. In a Republican leadership press
briefing on Wednesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan criticized the administration
for succumbing to Iranian pressure.
“We want America to lead. We want our enemies to fear us, and we want
our allies to trust us. So what does it say when the United States
repeatedly bends over backwards to accommodate the world’s No. 1 state
sponsor of terrorism?
Secretary of State John Kerry is a big part of the problem as he continues
to "shill' for Iran, Ryan argued.
“By bend over backwards, I do not just mean all of these concessions,
cash infusions, and side deals. I do not just mean sending the Secretary of
State out to shill for Iran like he’s the president of the Tehran chamber
of commerce. And I do not just mean paying ransom for hostages.
Chairman Ed Royce, who sponsored H.R. 5931, the House version of the bill to
prevent promissory notes being sent to Iran, stood alongside Ryan at the
briefing and reminded the White House that Iran is the "number one state
sponsor of terrorism."

奥巴马总能找借口的。他说那不是赎金, 是四十年前的一个合同争端的解决。 | g********2 发帖数: 6571 | |
