Sleepy releasing $5 billion for 3 US prisoners in Iran is a mistake

It looks good in the newspaper paper, though.

It was Iran's money, Cliff.

 

Anything else I can help you with?

Trump restarting Iran's nuclear weapons program was a mistake...and it didnt even look good on TV.

 

Joe Biden bringing home our people in exchange for Iran accessing its own money is an issue of perspective.   Constipated FOX News viewers would probably feel different if it was their family member 

Here's what the MAGA morons--like Boiler--don't realize. We had been holding Iran's money hostage, for an event precisely like this one, which we knew would come someday. We gave up funds that belonged to them anyway.

 

When you get something from someone by returning something that belonged to them anyway, you've won. That may be beyond the understanding of some people.


Idiots who go to these countries & get arrested are on their own. With deals like this it encourages this activity. 

We trade billions & really bad guys for people 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes, he's an idiot.

How does it "encourage" visitation to dangerous countries? They still went through hell, and the rescue money wasn't paid to them. That's like saying being kidnapped and held for ransom is encouraging.

 

The US does and should act to rescue its citizens--even if they've done something they shouldn't have. I guess stupid Tommie-poo would similarly campaign against the rescue of people stuck on mountaintops, hiking trails, sinking boats, etc. because they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

You really read like a 3rd grader.  I said we shouldn't pay $6b to countries to kidnap citizens.  If people want to go to countries like Iran they are on their own.

 

If kevin is truly concerned about saving citizens, what about the 100,000+ overdose deaths from illegal drugs that came over the border?

Bright people know what Iran will do with this money.  That is funding terrorism, and advancing their nuclear weapons program.  We saved 5 in return for thousands of deaths...and that assumes that they don't detonate a nuclear weapon.

 Anyone who believes that this is a good deal is a moron.
