Wining The French? LOL Hmm, no, that wouldn’t make sense.
lol!
Perhaps they believed Armani-Nutjob would welcome them with the same warmth Hugo Chavez gave to the Code Pink scum.
There's a reason why our Armed Forces where helmets and body armor when outside the wire. The area is not safe for Americans. If you are found on the Iranian border "Hiking while American," they will drag you over to their side and lock you up.
You think that’s bad; when I logged on I hadn’t had any coffee yet and my visual dyslexia read your handle as ‘wine for the gipper.’ I thought “that’s a nice sentiment, but a little odd.” lol
Actually, given the opportunity, many of them would lock you in a reeducation camp until you demonstrated that you believed as they do.
Noam Chomsky is a Jew. So is George Soros. Rachel Corrie was a Jew. See what I'm getting at, here?
There was a great example of this in an 80s movie called "Gotcha."
A college kid takes a trip to Europe and is caught up in espionage. He finds himself running for his life through East Berlin and escapes through "Checkpoint Charlie."
He asks the American Soldier, "Am I back in the American sector?" The guard says "Yes." The kid turns towards East Berlin, flips the bird and yells "F*** YOU!" The American Soldier says, "I've been wanting to do that for two years."
It wasn't that long ago that an Irish woman working for the International Red Cross was kidnapped, tortured and dismembered.
It's still a war zone.
It’s not cool to go to your fellow trust funders and say you hiked in Colorado. I used to work in Boulder, Co. I know these people.
They were hiking in Iraq and accidentally crossed the border. In the beautiful mountains there. I’m serious, they really are pretty. Not as nice as Montana but much more exotic. I bet if you went to some hiking message board you’d find Trust Funders pimping places like Iraq and Azerbaijan.
I agree with you. This really bothers me. Whatever else can be said about them, they are not spies and Iran should be punished or no American is safe overseas. We’ve given a lot of American blood in Iraq and the fact that Iran just feels they can control the place really irks me.
Perhaps they would have been better off hiking in New Zealand. Not only would they have been safe from the Iranian government, they might have even gotten to see “The Shire.”
You’re completely wrong. Do people working in Saudi Arabia deserve to be beheaded? Kurdistan is much friendlier to Americans than Saudi is.
Didn’t the idiot female they were with get released and sent back to the US and thanks the leaders of Iran and say she wan’t mistreated and they were good hosts and slobber all over them? Useful idiots....
Don’t they have an embassy or office in NY? Suprising they have gotten the iranian treatment there by US citizens.
We should bomb the jail they are in. It would be a win win. We show Iran who is boss and we raise the collective American IQ.

That’s why when working in Saudi you take precautions, like living in a guarded compound, escorts etc. I never said they deserve to be beheaded, I simply said they made their bed, now they lay in it. It’s either blind stupidity or maybe they were having a peek. I don’t really care, if it’s the latter it’s an internal situation for the US government VS the Iranian. US doesn’t even talk directly to the Iranians, they have to do it through a third party... the Swiss.
Neither is any Muslim country.
