3 Americans Jailed In N. Korea Are Home. But Trump May Have Made Others' Situation Worse.
Yahoo News (HuffPo) ^ | 5/10/2018 | Akbar Shahid Ahmed

President Donald Trump warmly received three Americans back from North Korean imprisonment early Thursday, calling their release a vindication of his aggressive foreign policy strategy. But many Americans jailed by other repressive regimes around the world appear to have gained little from Trump’s ad-hoc and often confrontational international approach, their advocates say, and in several cases the president may have actually made it harder for them to come home.

Since we cannot possibly free everyone, nobody shall be freed.

This article is a perfect example of why it is likely the media have now jumped the shark.

Even on Fox yesterday, I heard more than just Juan Williams predictably drone on about the imagined negatives of Trump's achievements re North Korea.

On the "all star panel", Byron York finally had to say "can't we just accept it for the good news that it is?" (on the hostage release)

The behavior of the MSM is truly astonishing.

The left and the media (but that is redundant) just can’t stand all of this winning.

I have yahoo e mail. I kind of resent having to be assaulted by their MSNBC like anti Trump and anti Republican headlines
on their browser page. Subliminal commercial brainwashing.

“Akbar Salahuddin Ahmed, (born. January 15, 1943) also known as Akbar Ahmed, is an American-Pakistani”

An American-Pakistani? Pakis are another group that should face removal from America. Pakistan is a $hit country that was created to house the Indian “muslim community” and has been a source of trouble for the world ever since it’s “inception.”

“Instead, we should illegally pay $400 million in small unmarked foreign currency bills, shipped on C-130s in the middle of the night.”

Lol!!

Hey, in ANY other business setting, wouldn’t that be called EMBEZZLEMENT? - taking money that you are not designated to handle from your workplace???

The only hostage Obama ever freed after exchanging 5 terrorists and a bunch of money for him was traitor deserter Sgt Bergdahl. If the muslim author is referring to the fact that they may be holding other Bergdahls who are now disadvantaged, they can keep them.In fact Trump will send the original Bergdahl back while he is in the process of reversing all the damage done by his predecessor.Want him, Ahmed?

Sgt Bergdahl was no hostage, he was a Turncoat deserter.

Who hires these Muslim clowns. Throw all Allah types out plus all Hispanics/foreigners claiming they fear their Government. Hell, we’d have most of the world’s population living here if we took everyone who claims this.
