Two professors, one of them an American citizen, were reportedly abducted at gun point near the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul this weekend, ABC News reported.

The other man was Australian, according to ABC.

Men wearing National Security forces uniforms reportedly kidnapped the men at about 8:30 p.m. Kabul time, according to the Voice of America.

The Kabul police have begun an investigation into the incident.

A U.S. State Department official said the department is "aware of reports of a U.S. citizen kidnapped in Kabul."

"Due to privacy considerations, we have no information to offer," an official told Voices of America.

Why should we pay full price for a dual citizen? These people know the risks and take the big bucks.

No problem. John Kerry will visit his Parisian ATM and withdraw $200M in euros.

If their families attempt to pay their ransom, the DOJ will lock them up and throw away the key!

Obama has set ransom payments at $100 million each. It’s a great business to be in (unless, of course, you’re the abductee).

Expect both doctors to star in hostage videos soon, both mouthing insults to their own countries. Both with deer in the headlights stares. I hope they don’t expect Obama to save them. He only pays ransom when it’s politically expedient and of sufficient benefit to the democrat party.

Maybe they'll do as Jeremiah Denton did...... brought before the cameras as a hostage.

REFERENCE Jeremiah Denton, a U.S. prisoner of war (POW) was hauled before cameras by North Vietnamese captors to attest to U.S. "war crimes."

Denton, who would become a U.S. senator from Alabama but at the time was a high-ranking naval aviator in the hands of his North Viet enemies, pulled a spectacular stunt on his captors.

While mouthing the lies they made him say about U.S. bombings, he blinked his eyes in Morse code relating "torture" while feigning that the lights were too bright.

It was the first credible confirmation that our POWs were being tortured, valuable information used from then on by U.S. war planners and negotiators.

That didn’t take long. Once the price for ransom was established by Obunga, the market sees the beginning of an uptick in demand. We need a real American POTUS. Now!

Come on TRUMP / PENCE!
