Pelosi: Let Iran keep the hostages

Loading

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in her Thursday press conference the four remaining American prisoners in Iran should not have been part of the nuclear deal with the Iranians.

Pelosi argued that everyone needs to “appreciate the fact” that a “much brighter light is being shone” on the prisoners now that a deal is done, but that they should not have come up in the Iranian nuclear deal itself.

REPORTER: Do you think the four American hostages being held in Iran should’ve been released as a precondition to any deal made about Iran’s nuclear program?

NANCY PELOSI: No, no. It would’ve been good, but it’s just — no. This is a nuclear deal. This is a nuclear agreement. And I think we have to — I appreciate the fact that since we have a nuclear negotiation, and now we have a nuclear agreement that much brighter light is being shone on prisoners of conscience in Iran.

And this woman always gets re-elected. What a moron.

She use to be a bar fly, it is obvious that the bar fly mentality is still there.

@old guy:

And this woman always gets re-elected. What a moron.

Her constituency are the morons. She’s just a liberal hack.

Pelosi says they should not be part of the deal. The state Department says they aren’t related:

At the White House and the State Department, the message is the same: The Americans in captivity are discussed on the “sidelines” to the nuclear talks. A State Department spokesperson put it bluntly: “They are not related … their fate and the outcome of these cases should in no way be tied to the nuclear issue.”

Kerry says he mentioned them at every meeting.

Someone’s lying. So, either Kerry is lying about throwing the hostage situation in the Iranian’s face at every meeting or he kept bringing it up and they just kept telling him, “Go f___ yourself and give us what we want.”, which of course he did.

Bill#4: I would vote for John Kerry lying. He has proven once again he is a stooge.

IF there was ever any chance of getting those four Americans back under Obama it would have been during Ramadan, the season of mercy, in Islam.
Lots of Islamic terrorists are freed during Ramadan all over the Islamic world.
Yemen virtually empties its prisons during that month (telling the West there was an escape is a cover story).
But now that Obama has buckled on everything Iran wanted there is no incentive to free those men.
Weirdly, Iran ideology lacks logic, common sense or even a belief in cause & effect, so there’s a slim chance they might release these four men at any time, out of the blue, so to speak.
