Arming Our Enemies
One of the key provisions of Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is that the Islamic Republic will gain access to more than $100 billion in assets currently frozen because of U.S. sanctions. Many have pointed out that this transfer indirectly makes Obama’s deal the biggest aid to terrorism ever. And the proof is that Iran is already spending the money.
They are buying a highly sophisticated air defense system from Russia. Russia will use that money to promote unrest in Ukraine and elsewhere. There are reports today that Iran has signed a deal to buy fighter jets from China. China will likely use the money to counter U.S. influence in Asia. And, of course, Hamas and Hezbollah are awaiting their windfalls from the agreement. The deal is a disaster for this reason alone!
By the way, we reported two weeks ago that U.S. personnel are banned from participating in the international inspections of suspect Iranian nuclear sites. Yesterday the Associated Press finally picked up on this news.
Clinton Damage Assessment
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has repeatedly claimed that she never handled classified information on her unsecured private server. Today, the Washington Times reports that intelligence officials are scrambling to conduct a damage assessment. According to the Times:
“The top lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committees have been notified in recent days that the extent of the classified information on Mrs. Clinton’s private email server was likely far more extensive than the four emails publicly acknowledged last week.”
Mrs. Clinton reportedly had information on her server from five intelligence agencies — the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National-Geospatial Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Moreover, her attorney, David Kendall, reportedly has a thumb drive with all the emails she turned over to the State Department, meaning that Mr. Kendall is in possession of classified information too.
This news prompted Senator Charles Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to send a letter to FBI Director James Comey demanding to know what the FBI was doing to secure the classified information in Mr. Kendall’s possession.
Army Misses Its Target
The U.S. Army is 14% short of its annual recruitment goal. This news comes on the heels of reports that the Army is cutting 40,000 troops. This is the first time in six years that the Army has failed to meet its recruitment goal.
What possibly could have happened a little over six years ago that might explain this? The Army blames the improving economy. Another factor could be a commander-in-chief who’s seemingly committed to a declining America.
