Once again, Obama sides with our mortal enemies, a cornerstone of his foreign policy meticulously detailed in my book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America. This is consistent with the same anti-America, anti-freedom, pro-jihad platform we have suffered the last three years.
Marines carry Lance Cpl. Paul Kotoucout of the rubble following the 1983 truck bombing of Marine barracks in Beirut. The blast killed 241 U.S. servicemen.
Back in September 2007, there was official recognition that Islamic Iran declared jihad warfare on America back in '83 when they murdered 241 Marines in Beirut in what was the single largest non-nuclear explosion since World War II. Iran had to pay $2.65 billion to the families of the 241 U.S. service members killed in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.

U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth described his ruling as the largest-ever such judgment by an American court against another country. "These individuals, whose hearts and souls were forever broken, waited patiently for nearly a quarter century for justice to be done," he said.
Iran created the Muslim jihad group Hezbollah, which carried out the homicide bombing in Beirut. It was the worst Islamic (or any) terrorist act against U.S. targets until the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Obama ‘taking Iran’s side’ on damages from ’83 bombing that killed 241 Marines
Special to WorldTribune.com
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, in a bid to reconcile with the
Teheran regime, has blocked legislation that would hold Iran accountable for
the Hizbullah bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines in 1983.A survivors group has asserted that the administration is pressuring Democrats in Congress not to support a bill that would enforce massive judgements against Iran by the families of the Marines. In 2007, a U.S. federal district court judge found Iran liable for the Beirut bombing and ordered Teheran to pay $2.65 billion in damages.
A U.S. Marine searches the rubble on Oct. 31, 1983, after an Oct. 23 attack on the headquarters of the U.S. troops of the multinational force in Beirut, Lebanon. In twin attacks on U.S. and French military installations, suicide bombers driving trucks killed 299 French and Americans, including 241 U.S. service members.
“This administration talks a lot about sanctions, but we know Iran is watching this case closely and, astonishingly, Obama’s people are taking Iran’s side,” Lynn Smith Derbyshire, a lobbyist for the legislation, said.
Ms. Derbyshire, whose brother Marine Capt. Vincent Smith was killed in the 1983 bombing, said survivors and their families were urging Congress to support amendments to the Iran Sanctions Bill, scheduled for mark-up in the Senate Banking Committee on Feb. 2.
But they said committee members were being pressed by the White House not to vote for amendments that would hold Teheran responsible for the 1983 attack and transfer the $2.65 billion awarded in 2007. The Iran Sanctions Bill would enable U.S. sanctions on foreign companies that purchase or ship oil through the Iranian government or sell telecommunications equipment to Teheran.
“We have petitioned Congress to prevent the government of the Islamic republic of Iran from avoiding its obligations to pay judgments awarded to past and future victims and survivors of Iranian terrorism,” Ms. Derbyshire said on Jan. 30. “We’ve spoken with many sympathetic members of Congress but they won’t act while this administration is blocking what we and the
American people know is right.”Over the last decade, the families of Iranian-sponsored attacks have won billions of dollars in suits against the Teheran regime. But the federal government, particularly the State Department, has blocked access to Irania assets or funds in the United States.
Ms. Derbyshire said she represents more than 1,000 families across the United States in the campaign to target Teheran and its finances. The group has also lobbied Congress to strengthen the U.S. law that bans Iran from laundering money in the United States to finance Hizbullah and other insurgency proxies.
“We can show that international banks have moved billions of dollars of funds from Bank Markazi, Iran’s central bank, through banks in the U.S.,” Ms. Derbyshire said. “So far that money has been untouchable. We believe that is wrong. We are confident that most Americans would agree. Yet, the Obama administration is thwarting our efforts.”

Another traitorous move by the Obama administration, the second in the same day.
First being Sec-Def Panetta releasing to the press his concern that Israel will hit Iran by the spring before the nuclear plants are to hardened for a military strike to be effective.
I cannot imagine being one of the families affected by this, it makes me ill just thinking about it.

this statement alone stands as an
impeachable offense
the msm is so invested in
leftist extremism
unamerican everything and
o’bama is god ideology
nothing will induce them to report
how the moose lamb pig
who sits in the oval office
is trying to destroy us
an allout boycott of the msm
should be called
it is probably the only way
they can be stopped
if you stop them
you stop o’bama

Iran is Farsi for Aryan. The Mullahs in Iran share a common heart to the National Socialists and will stop at nothing to destroy the Judeo-Christian religious system just like their counterparts in Hitler’s National Socialist Germany tried. Is there any wonder why the leader of America’s National Socialists would side with them repeatedly?

Yes, the Muslims have a connection, kinship and a likeness with the Nazi/Marxists/Fascist:

They are alike in spirit, soul and body.

He must be removed from office.
I suggest not placing another politician or an “ever once elected-official” into the oval office but a statesman. Preferably me, JL MEALER.
Just a thought (seriously). Read the plans and see if you agree.

Never before have I been so utterly disgusted by a American “president”. This man is not only completely incompetent, but also a dangerous lunatic. One day, his “progressive” party will pay the price.
I fear, however, that by then all of us have been so weakened that we can’t do anything anymore.
For God’s sake, vote wisely, my American friends.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man
by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them,
what they could and should do for themselves.”

The only politician I know capable of giving the Chicago machine a bad name. Just being himself again. Americans could have voted blindfolded in 2008 and done a better job. God help us.

Wow, this is all kinds if inaccurate. Do you really expect Iran to pay anyone a cent just because a US federal judge tells them to? If you want to leave the bubble for a second and read the real story, here you go: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/federal-judge-awards-beirut-bombing-victims-13-billion/t/story?id=10263343.
You’ll see that another judge told Obama to do something about these judgements that are meaningless and provide false hope. That’s all.
Allowing people to think they would ever see a dime of that money is worse that what your comments are suggesting.

I was just a boy in college trying to graduate when that happened. I don’t recall what our military response was if any. Now that I have my degree in Physics and served in the space program I would say that one of our aging ICBM’s needs to be test fired downrange. I have never seen that MIRV function really tested. Is it true that multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles could supply us with all the radioactive fused silicon we would ever need? I wanna try c’mon! Just try it with duds first for testing purposes only.
Mecca, Medina, Tehran and that pretty coastal community in Saudi, with the tall glass offices n’ stuff. Oopsie daisies we’re sorry we thought those were duds.

In the above article the subject of homocide bombing is brought up. One of the things is that a person can be so under such mind programming control by the imams and mullahs that someone he would actually want to be a suicide/homocide bomber. This shows the harm done by the Imams and mullahs who brainwash people into the false teaching that is found in the Quran of a paradise with many virgins in it for the jihadist who dies for the cause of Islam. Some will notice that the imams and mullahs never do the suicide/homocide themselves,they just sent others out to do it. That speaks a lot the character of these Islamic teachers in itself.
Furthermore, this Quranic doctrine of a paradise with virgins in it is in reality just a fusion of Arabic and Zoroastrian mythology masquerading in the Quran as divine truth. Moreover, the Bible had predicted and warned about the sucu men as these imams and mullah who teach this falsehood. In the Bible reads “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crowd of teachers to tickle their ears. they will stop their ears to the truth and tuen to mythology.” Second Timothy 4:3,4.
