What were they intending to smuggle? Can’t think of another reason for Americans to be in that God-forsaken location.

Are you speaking metaphorically? Iran is far from being a third world country. Their big cities are not unlike those in the USA.

These were bored rich kids and it really is scenic up there.

Couldn't they think of something safer to do like jumping out of airplanes or something?

And they were certain that Liberals were LOVED all over the World! Why would they be held captive? They are so hip and Progressive!

And ObaMao shivers under his desk during his rare and short visits to the Oval Office. But mostly, he is only to be found out on the Golf Course, or out on some Million Dollar hot date with his Wife and entourage. Or, he is on some International Speaking engagement to impress the European Socialists.

In the mean time, Iran is about to announce a Nuke and a delivery system and Afghanistan/Pakistan is deteriorating by the minute.

Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth!

But they are LIBERALS! From Berkeley! And libs are adored all over the world, aren’t they? Messengers of peace and acceptance, right?

They remind me of “Love Me, I’m a Liberal” by Phil Ochs. Of course, that was about phony libs but aren’t they all, really?

Meanwhile, we capture one of their jihadi here after he shoots
a few dozen Americans and make excuses for why he caused terror
in the name of their goat humping religion.

Their leaders and religious travesty are not even up to the stone age mentally.

A "scenic part of northern Iraq" would certainly be my first choice of a place to take a hike.

The open borders crowd should go on tour and express this concept globally...

it is important to realise the islam dissolves all national identity.

Not really. They believe in a concept of a nation called Islam. A theocratic empire with legal courts and rule.

P.S. Will someone get grandma a new bra?

No. The gravitational pull helps to keep her facelift good and tight...

I think these 3 are going to get; unfortunately; a first hand close up personal look at what they support from afar.

The differences are going to amaze them.

Some posters here are exactly right.....three blase, spoiled, immature rich offspring wanting to live on the edge plus secretly desiring to get 15 minutes of fame somehow. I have no doubt they didn't care if they got caught.

"Espionage" is as laughable as Iran's government. If these idiots were spies, they never would have been hiking through such a remote wilderness. Not much info to be gleaned from dirt and rocks.

Anyhow, anyone from Beserkley is too stupid to be a secret agent.

I couldn't disagree more unless you consider Marxists, Fascists not up to the stone age mentally. The “Islamic” part of the Iranian so-called Republic is a complete ruse. It's an excuse to maintain control.

In many ways, Ahmadi’s government reminds me a lot of our own. Ahmadi is only a pawn of the mullahs, much like Obama is a pawn of, perhaps, Soros? The Iranian regime is willing to do whatever is necessary to get the vote they want for their candidate, just like ACORN. They're government is just more willing to be brutal than ours (currently?) is.

It could be said, Iran is just further down the hope and change avenue than we are.

Reminds me of an old Saturday Night Live fake commercial for “Bad Idea Jeans”:

open on group of guys sitting on a bench on a basketball court, laughing ]

Guy #1: Hey, we’ve got our apartment. We ripped up the floors, pipes, wiring, and having everything completely redone.

Guy #2: You’re renting, right?

Guy #1: Yeah.

[ image on screen: BAD IDEA ]

Guy #3: Well, he’s an ex free-base addict, and he’s trying to turn around, and he needs a place to stay for a couple of months.

[ image on screen: BAD IDEA ]

Guy #1: [ tosses bottle to Guy #2 ] Head’s up!

Guy #4: Now that I have kids, I feel a lot better having a gun in the house.

[ image on screen: BAD IDEA ]

[ close-up of the jeans they’re wearing, the label reads: BAD IDEA JEANS ]

Guy #3: I thought about it, and even though it’s over, I’m going to tell my wife about the afffair.

[ image on screen: BAD IDEA ]

[ more shots of BAD IDEA jeans ]

Guy #5: I don’t know the guy, but I’ve got two kidneys and he needs one, so I figured..

[ image on screen: BAD IDEA ]

Guy #2: Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, “When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?”

[ image on screen: BAD IDEA ]

Announcer: Bad Idea Jeans.

[ shows a group of tough looking basketball players on the court ]

Guy #1: Hey, you guys ready? Let’s bet these guys! A hundred bucks.. make that two hundred! Two hundred bucks!

[ fade to image on screen: BAD IDEA JEANS ]

[ fade out ]

“Hey we’re just care-free libs from Berkley...we should go hiking along the Iraq/Iran border.

Bad Idea

These three are left-winged lunatics from Berkeley. They have no love loss for America.

I suspect that, but would love to have it confirmed. What do you know about it? Other than Berkley.
