Iran using US cash to fund massive military buildup
Thanks a lot Obama Mad

Iran is using the billions in cash resources provided under the landmark nuclear deal to engage in an unprecedented military buildup meant to transform the Islamic Republic's fighting force into an "offensive" juggernaut, according to a largely unreported announcement by Iranian military leaders that has sparked concern among U.S. national security insiders and sources on Capitol Hill.

Iranian officials announced late last month that Iran's defense budget had increased by 145 percent under President Hassan Rouhani and that the military is moving forward with a massive restructuring effort aimed at making it "a forward moving force," according to regional reports.

Iranian leaders have stated since the Iran deal was enacted that they are using the massive amounts of cash released under the agreement to fund the purchase of new military equipment and other armaments. Iran also has pursued multi-million dollar arms deals with Russia since economic sanctions were nixed as part of the deal.

Leading members of Congress and U.S. officials working on the Iran portfolio suspect that at least a portion of the Obama administration's $1.7 billion cash payment to Iran has been used to fund and support terrorists in the Middle East.

We all know Obama knew damn well what the money would be spent for.

Awesome, so not only does our money go to buy weapons that could be used against us, the cash ends up in Russia.

Maybe they'll invite Obama over to christen their wooden aircraft carrier.

And fund terrorism. And it was not just him by any stretch.

Makes me wonder how many MOAB's we have in reserve.

Surely we have enough to share, do we not?

Say it isn't so. Obama promised giving such aid to terrorists would help bring peace.
