What happens when a nation pays for hostages? Well, obviously, hostage takers are incentivized to take more hostages. Now that Obama opened the floodgates by paying Iran $1.7 billion for hostages, Iran has taken more American hostages and this time wants “many billions of dollars” to release them.

If a person is stupid enough, or greedy enough, to travel to Iran, let the Iranians kill them. I'm a big fan of Darwinism.
I mean... I don't want to be mean but damn... who can argue against this?... I mean for real... if you are out of that country da hell you want to go in for? and yes I am sorry to say that includes Christians. Unless they truly have a mandate to go to Iran I don't see why going back there to visit family sounds like a good idea...?! Although I don't want them to be killed of course.
I understand that it would have meant getting into foreign sovereignty but if they kidnap soldiers and civilians why not send the SEALS to get them back?
The US Treasury is now the ATM for the Iranians - incredible! What does our Leader-from-Behind have to say? Anything? I doubt it, other than the pro forma denials from the State Department, that bastion of honesty.
Thank you, Valerie Jarrett.
Like I said before, she is revenge for the Iranian Hostages being returned, they just decided to plant someone in our political system and take us for everything we have.
