Biden has his own hostage crisis. Like Carter, it is dragging out with little action. In various statements he and his administration says they "hope" Americans are released, they "don't know" when they will be released.

Are they negotiating, haggling over dollars? Biden's been spending about a billion dollars per hostage around the world, is that the going price he's trying to get in Gaza?

America under Biden is weak. Americans are killed, raped, and held hostage without response, Biden goes on vacation. This is my first day posting a hostage crisis live thread which I may or may no do daily going forward.

Apparently Biden expected three Americans were to be released on Thanksgiving Day. None work. When asked, he simply said Americans would be releaseed soon. Further, he doesn't even know the condition of the hostages, nor firm count or their names. He knows nothing, is okay with that, and instead spends his time on vacation.

HUH? We’ve been held hostage for nearly 3 years now.

I saw a report on TV that there are 13 American hostages. Israeli officials have a list but will not publicize it due to Hamas’ history of incorrect or misleading information.

“Biden’s been spending about a billion dollars per hostage around the world”

I wile the 3:1 ratio, Israel releases 39 and Palestinians release 13..... nothing unfair about that one.....

Well the radio news said joey bags spent the holiday weekend negotiating closely for the release of Hamas hostages— all 13 of those first released being THAI citizens (for whom Thailand no doubt paid Hamas to do- and for whom Israel Knesset fools agreed to release 39 “women and children” from Israeli prisons. The women all apparently convicted as murderers, attempted or other wise and the children- their bomb bearers). This bears considerable analysis as to WHO Hamas insisted be released— not to GAZA oh no— but back into Israel (sure to be tagged and followed for life, one hopes). What utter propaganda about the poopy panted one. Gibberish.

There are still Americans being held captive in Afghanistan.

From Fox News, Biden admin 'disappointed' that no Americans have been released during hostage exchange: report:

Two senior Biden administration officials told NBC News that they were "disappointed" that no kidnapped Americans have been released so far during the 4-day Israel-Hamas cease-fire.

"We are disappointed that we haven’t seen the Americans on a list yet, but we are hopeful for the next couple of days," one of the officials said. "The U.S. is hopeful that we can keep the pause in place and the exchange in place, because we want all of the hostages out."

The officials said that they hoped three Americans with dual Israeli citizenship will be part of the first 50 hostages to be freed. It is believed that 10 of the captives are American citizens, and around 240 people were kidnapped in total.

Weak.
