Then where in HELL is he?
and I do mean “where in HELL?”
He’s anywhere Kerry’s not trying to consummate a Nobel-prize level landmark peace in our time deal, place called Otherthaniranland.
Probably Lebanon since that’s Hezbollah country and in Iran’s sphere .
China ? Russia? South sea island? Posting on FR under an assumed name?
I would assume they kill him or their treatment of him killed him...unfortunately what do they or the Americans giving away everything care. Just another lie and Americans are left behind to die!
What kind of business would there be in Iran with the sanctions that were imposed there in 2007
Selling Bibles?
So he’s been quite conveniently....disappeared. And I’m guessing that Mr. Levinson is Jewish too, so no skin off Obama’s nose.
I think he was in Lebanon. Now I think he’s dead.
“What kind of business would there be in Iran with the sanctions that were imposed there in 2007
Business involving the CIA - that’s who he worked for.
Lying bastard Enest.
I expect long dead also
America’s hostage policy should be
RETURN OUR PEOPLE OR WE WILL BOMB YOU BACK TO THE STONE AGE
right after we remove the DNA of the political leaders responsible...
Playing games with rag heads is a waste of time.
Treat a thug like a thug.......with BRUTE DEADLY FORCE.....
SIGNING A CONTRACT IN THE MIDDLE EAST SIMPLY MEANS NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEGUN....
the idiot in the WH is a TRAITOR.......
IF Earnest says he is alive, then he is most assuredly dead.
totally agree...he or she needs to be in in a hanging line in an orange jump suit next to both hitlery and horse facedb kerry - berry!
