US Helped Release Iranian Prisoners As Sweetener for Nuclear Talks

US Helped Release Iranian Prisoners As Sweetener for Nuclear Talks.... (we could have demanded our 4 prisoners returned) At least three Americans still held in Tehran as negotiations reach final stage The Obama administration helped to secure the release of several Iranians detained in the United States and the United Kingdom, some convicted of illegal arms smuggling, according to a report that comes as U.S. prisoners languish in Iranian jails.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that, as part of a “wish list” Iran presented to the United States in 2009 before the current nuclear negotiations, U.S. officials helped expedite the release of four Iranian prisoners in 2012 and 2013. Three were convicted of illegally sending arms or other banned materials to Iran while the international community sought to enforce sanctions on the country’s nuclear program.

I posted this to remind everyone that in 2009 Iran wants people released (a wish list , so sweet like asking Santa Claus for goodies) and Obama does it. So No Balls Obama tells us today why he can not ask for our prisoners to be returned! I call BS on him........and Congress needs to step up and demand they are returned now!

They didn’t insist upon the release of those Americans held on “spurious charges” although they did release Iranians held on illegal arms dealings? Just unbelievable incompetence or rather Obozo just doesn’t have much if any concern for Americans held abroad on questionable charges. This info needs to be publisized more, it’s outrageous.

It’s not “incompetence”. Remember where ValJar was born, and WHOSE SIDE OBANGO IS ON AND IT’S NOT OURS. It will get worse in the coming months.

Wikipedia’s featured article of the day just went up:

Trinity — first nuclear detonation ever: July 16 1945.

Talk about timing ...

..... Gee .... I wonder how these negotiations opened? ...... I can see it now .... John Kerry insists that we will release Iran’s prisoners and to really sweeten the pot ..... Kerry further insisted that they can keep all of the American Prisoners at behest of Barack Hussein Obama?

“0dungo and his NSA has our Congress by the balls.”

I would agree with you, except for the fact that our Congress has no balls.

Pray for Pastor Abedini and the others. Pray for their strength and their release from prison.

Check the comments section of even news sites like CBS. People are almost unanimously slamming the Kenyan Klown.

Yet if you just read the news reporting you'd think Obama was a popular man with reasonable policies.

Just when you thought 3 Taliban commanders for a deserter was bad, he trades three illegal weapons buyers for nothing.
