So Much for Fundamentally Transforming Iran

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

The State Department this week issued a travel warning to Americans considering traveling to or already in the Islamic Republic of Iran. That’s because its regime is taking them hostage.

That would be the same regime the Obama administration has in recent months enriched by some $150 billion, including $400 million to free several U.S. citizens who had been seized by Iran. The only surprise is that anybody is surprised that the mullahs are coming back for more – more American hostages, more American ransoms.

If putting a price on the head of every U.S. citizen were the only palpable failure of President Obama’s dealings with the Islamic supremacists in Tehran, it would be bad enough. But, their work on acquiring nuclear weapons proceeds apace – now underwritten by us. And their jihadist operations are intensifying, including in our own hemisphere.

This amounts to treason.
