Breaking: 4 released from Iran prison for 7 Iranians and $100 billion

Iran is allegedly releasing four American hostages, including pastor Saeed Abedini, Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, and United States Marine Amir Hekmati. 

The fourth hostage is unknown at this time but in return, Obama is releasing  over $100 billion to Iran to help fund terrorism as they develop a nuclear weapon, along with seven Iranians being held in U.S. prisons for acts of terrorism, or, to be more politically correct, acts of extremism that have nothing to do with the religion of peace and have everything to do with criminal behavior.

Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting in Vienna with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif and five other world leader representatives involved in the agreement. 

Zarif plans to take advantage of Kerry's ineptitude as he has in the past, and will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Iran supposedly didn't identify the prisoners they want back in the fight, and the Obama administration would rather not discuss it with American citizens, but they are claiming the prisoner swap has nothing to do with the nuclear deal and everything to do with Obama's incredible negotiating abilities.

LOL.

The Washington Post cannot confirm Rezaian's release, but facts often don't stop them from a story.

Iranian State TV reported that the fourth person to be released is Siamak Namazi, the son of a politician from the days when Iran was led by a shah. However, IRNA news, the only place to get your news in Iran if you know what's good for you, said that the prisoner to be released is Nosratollah Khosravi.

UpdateThe Guardian just announced that Rezaian has been released and corroborates IRNA saying that Hekmati and Khosravi will be released and Namazi is still in prison.

So now that Iran has humiliated us with the ten sailors they captured in the Persian Gulf, boarded their two boats and made and made them, at gunpoint, monkey squat with their hands in the air, they are freeing our hostages in exchange for seven of theirs.

If you believe Obama and Kerry are good negotiators, you probably also believe that global warming is the cause of terrorism.

But I know you're too smart to fall for that line of Obamabull.

What a deal. This should have happened years ago.

Pressure Mounts to Free the 4 Americans in Iran

The Obama administration is finally being pressured into including the four Americans imprisoned in Iran to be made part of the nuclear talks deal. 
The four idiots who think Iran deal is a good one

The latest case of an American being held in prison there came with the Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian. He is being falsely charged with espionage, collaboration with foreign entities, dissemination of information, and propaganda. In America, we call it MSNBC.

The Obama administration has been working feverishly night and day, using every form of diplomacy at their disposal to free Jason, along with the other three Americans being held there, but, unfortunately, I am saying things that I only wish were true but that aren't.

Rezaian and his wife were arrested in 2014 but she was eventually released. Jason, however, remains in Evin Prison, known for its brutality and torture. The charges mentioned on Monday were the first publicly described excuses that Iran has made for holding him. The information came from his lawyers, not from the court.

State Department spokes-moron, Marie Harf, said that "He should immediately be freed so he can return to his family. The charges should immediately be dismissed," she said, tossing her blond ringlets to and fro and huffing inexorably to the beat of a different drum in her head.

Josh's anal retentive mode
White House Press Secretary and Obama apologist Josh-Not-So-Earnest said basically the same thing as Harf said. Perhaps they are sleeping together, but be it far from me to say that since, like Harry Reid's comments about Romney's taxes, I have no proof but the word on the street is out.

But Earnest said the talks are very "complicated" and rather than chew gum and walk at the same time, the so-called administration must focus on one issue at a time. Reminds me of Hillary's reason for only one e-device.

Amir Hekmati, the US Marine, has been held by these Shi'ite Muslim terrorists since August 2011. He supposedly spied for the CIA, which was news to him. Actually, he went to Iran to visit his grandmother and others in the home country of his parents. The Veterans of Foreign Wars called for Amir's release to be part of the nuclear dealings.

"I am demanding that the U.S. government make his [Hakmati's] release a nonnegotiable part of whatever deal is cut with Iran," VFW National Commander John Stroud said in a statement, adding "his Iranian captors are torturing a former Marine and a fellow VFW member."

Rep. Duncan Hunter R-Calif., said: "There's a lot wrong with negotiating a deal with Iran, but the ongoing nuclear talks--love them or hate them--are probably the only chance for the Administration to ask for the return of Amir Hekmati and other. Frankly, it should have happened already, ahead of reaching just the framework, but with each day and concession, the Administration loses its leverage and influence."

Speaking of the Bergdahl release for 5 Taliban terrorists Stroud said: "If our government can swap five of the worst terrorists for one American soldier, we can certainly make the safe release of one former Marine an unconditional part of a deal that has yet been formalized."

John Kerry has yet to remove his thumb from his nether regions to get this started. In fact, administration officials had insisted that these talks will not involve non-nuclear issues (read: "We don't want to offend them--they might walk away"). But the American public has had enough crap from this inept, do-nothing White House.



Free them all now, Mr. Obama.
