Iran demands ransom for hostages
Yeah, no one saw this coming, right? Iran wants “many billions of dollars” in exchange for the release of Americans held in Iranian prisons, according to Fox News;
Senior Iranian officials, including the country’s president, have been floating the possibility of further payments from the United States for months. Since the White House agreed to pay Tehran $1.7 billion in cash earlier this year as part of a deal bound up in the release of American hostages, Iran has captured several more U.S. citizens.
Future payments to Iran could reach as much as $2 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter, who said that Iran is detaining U.S. citizens in Iran’s notorious Evin prison where inmates are routinely tortured and abused.
Once paying ransoms is part of your foreign policy, it’s hard to stop. But no one ever thought of that, huh? Except every US president since Jefferson.

We need to start taking hostages from Iran’s leaders’ families and demand $5 billion, or start sending them body parts. Carpet bomb their factories to underline our demands.
LMAO! Graybeard, that would only happen if we had a leader with balls and common sense. Neither of which the present leader has. These Middle Eastern/North African types only respect force. Our kowtowing to their demands has not gained us anything, and the present leadership will just keep on kissing their asses, giving away our country, and endangering Americans around the world.
It would also require a leader. Period.
Unfortunately, president mom-jeans has never been anything more than a place-holder, a facade for those in his clown car administration who are actually pulling the strings and making policy.
The real power behind the throne is Valerie Jarett, an Iranian. It’s also probably no coincidence that another Iranian, Huma Abedin was posted as a watchdog over Hillary Clinton.
Conspiratorial? Sure. But ask yourself why else would they permit mom-jeans to spend so much time on the golf course, and for he and his family to always be jetting off somewhere for a conference or vacation, etc?
I agree with your depiction of Valerie VaJayJay, but, Huma is an American-borne offspring of an Indian Muslim and a Pakistani Muslim. She was born in Kalamzoo, Mi. When she was 2 or so, daddy dearest decided that Saudi Arabia more closely demonstrated how to treat his family and he picked up and moved the family there.
Valerie appears to have been running the country for almost 8 years.
Huma, if the country is dumb enough to elect Hillzy, will take over running the country.
If they are going to spend the money, I would rather see them spend it on something worthwhile, like hiring hitmen in Iran to shoot that satanic son of a bitch right between the eyes!!
Why is it, every time I post, it has a notification on top that says “your comment is awaiting moderation”?? Am I the only one? I don’t see those on anyone else!
Where did they get the idea they could collect ransom for hostages?
Oh never mind, I remember now… we have a POSPOTUS in the White House.
The Soviet is holding me hostage. I am forced into being her sex slave. Please, someone start a GoFunMe account, she might let me sleep in peace for a few bucks.

If your toxic masculinity reserves have become dangerously depleted, you might need emergency action figure therapy, Dave.
Or a puppy…
No, a service dog from Gretchen’s crowd would be more appropriate, especially if you have TBI from repeatedly hitting your head against the headboard.
I see you are familiar with that injury as well. Adding that to my claim against her…head trauma.
But Dave, I thought that your head trauma was the result of a UDI (Unidentified Drinking Injury) incurred during a late night visit to The Driftwood outside the main gate at Camp Lejeune.
Or was it Tobie’s?
Or maybe The Brown Bagger?
It was Court Street back in the old days. Purple Haze, Jazzland, Skyroom, Speedo’s, The Bowery, PH 2.
The Driftwood was a little too upscale. Now if I was just out to get drunk I went out Piney Green to a bar called the Bloody Bucket…dat der was always a good time.
If only you could see my shocked face…..
Stevie Wonder saw this shit coming from outer space.
Both he and Ray Charles.
yeah, it really is that bad.
It wasn’t ransom, it was just a poorly timed payment of what we’d owed them for years.
And if you truly believe that … you must have the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy on speed dial.
Or did I miss the /SARC tag?
I guess you think that because that’s what your POTUS or SecState told you, eh?
I’m, thinkin’ if these “Americans” were in that third world shitstain of their own volition that we could offer a hundred bucks for the lot of them.
If’n theys true blue ‘Mericans, then it’s Delta Force and their lifeguards (SEALs).
How did they get their hands on more Americans? Did their tourist season for hikers suddenly close out?
If our government minded their own business once in a while this shit would not happen. This is one country that can challenge our oil tycoons so we declare them a enemy. It has nothing to do with religion.
And this *SO* is not my comment.
◔̯◔
Not to worry bro, I’m thinking the regulars knew that without the response…
I think the “best by” date on that was when the Peanut farmer was in the White House.
You’re not from around here, are ya….
BHWHAHAHAHA !!!!!!
I remember telling everyone on here that Hillary
Would get away with murder, steal an election
And bring in 5 million American hating towel heads
My next bet is she will help Iran get a nuke
Follow the money ?
I’m surprised ? she has had a falling out with her Russian buddy’s but it’s all fake and a big game Lol… we are soo screwed
Didn’t Tripoli try something like this once? I’m trying to remember how that worked out for them.
Well, we had a POTUS with gonads back then.
Sure as He** don’t have one of those right now.
They got their ragheaded asses kicked appropriately, thats how it worked out! “from the halls of Montezuma to shores of Tripoli”!!
I’m sure that B. Hussein 0bama will issue a statement from his teleprompter Blaming Bush AFTER he gets back from the golf course. Helen Keller could have seen this coming.
He’s campaigning for comrade Clinton and getting a talk down by his boss Soro’s in Vegas
Not a penny, not a sixpence
Maybe a frag…
White House cutting a check in 3…2…1
This will be Iran’s new cottage industry. They will rival the Mexican kidnapping rings.
Sure. They can have whatever they want. Just hand over the Americans, and we deliver the cash… except that it’s been treated with something special… like cobalt-60. Oh, and a note that warns them to leave Americans alone from now on or else….
I’m getting mean in my old age.
“Once paying ransoms is part of your foreign policy, it’s hard to stop. But no one ever thought of that, huh? Except every US president since Jefferson…”
[…with the glaring exception of Obama, the ‘current occupant.’]
There, fixed that for you.
What is the per-unit cost of the W88? We can chip in the delivery costs.
SMH…this is what the last 7+ years of totally incompetent leadership has accomplished….just pathetic
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
The only way I would give those goat fuckers any money would be a dollar bill taped to the head of a nice Nuke! Turn that shit hole into a glass bowl and break out the snacks!!
