Breitbart ^ | 09/18/2023 | IAN HANCHETT

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby responded to a question on whether the Iranian prisoner swap will make Iran more likely to take Americans hostage by stating that Iran has taken American hostages for a long time and “I can’t perfectly predict whether they’ll do it again or not.”

Co-host Kate Bolduan asked, “Lingering question remains, is Iran more or less likely to wrongfully detain another American citizen, take them hostage because of this deal?”

White House: Can’t Predict if Iran Prisoner Swap Will Incentivize Further Hostage-Taking or terrorist activities or making more nukes.

Which pile of rocks did these people crawl out from under? Does it matter? They are a full time joke on us. Can Kirby name the state he lives in?

Indeed it’s the only way you can get this White House to understand things.

Very slow thinkers need visual aide.

I'd just make one change. Delete “dumb as a rock” and substitute “crooked as a corkscrew”.

“I can’t perfectly predict whether they’ll do it again or not.”

But you can perfectly predict the weather in 2050. What happened to the “science”?
