We celebrate the release of Americans from Iran, but this deal with Iran sets a dangerous precedent. https://t.co/bVfZhPMISQ

Remember that gold old U.S. policy about never negotiating with terrorist/hostage taking bad actors...

That’s so yesterday.

Why would American civilians be in Bagdad now? Talk about asking, begging for trouble.

Remember Jesse Jackson’s “rotating hunger strike?”

Here we have a “rotating hostage crisis.”

As our state department has been fond of doing, check youtube and liveleak for both the excuse why they were taken, as well as their fate.

Oblama just triggered the largest series of hostage-takings ever by paying Iran BIG BUCKS for hostages. It’s JUST started. Oblama COULD HAVE linked getting hostages back to the START of the ‘nuke deal’ with Iran, but rather he chose to link it to the PAYMENT of $150 BILLION to Iran. INTENTIONAL on his part? YES!!!!

I’ll bet Iran had something to do with this.
Keep going back to the well as long as it’s yielding water.
Thanks Obama and Kerry.

Those who do not know history (or ignore it) are condemned to repeat it. [Georges Santayna “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”)

See Danegeld and the fact that once paid, is always owed! We RANSOMED Bergdahl and now the 4 political captives in Iran. What lesson was learned by the antagonists? Get more captives and you can get more Danegeld!

Why not? Obama and Kerry may have another billion dollars of ransom money to give to terrorists and their governments.

More of that “good day” genius “give nukes to the enemy” diplomacy that Neville Obama and his boss Valerie Insanity has shoved down our throats.
