Obama Is Releasing Terrorists As Deal Struck With Iran To Get Saberi Released

Proof • July 13, 2009

Roxanna Saberi was the Fargo, North Dakota journalist who was imprisoned in Iran after being accused of being a spy. The Obama administration negotiated her release, but it turns out that Iran’s asking price for that release was the release of at least five Iranian terrorists, which has already been done, and possibly the release of hundreds more.

…President Obama’s release of the Quds terrorists is a natural continuation of his administration’s stunningly irresponsible policy of bartering terrorist prisoners for hostages. As I detailed here on June 24, Obama has already released a leader of the Iran-backed Asaib al-Haq terror network in Iraq, a jihadist who is among those responsible for the 2007 murders of five American troops in Karbala. While the release was ludicrously portrayed as an effort to further “Iraqi reconciliation” (as if that would be a valid reason to spring a terrorist who had killed Americans), it was in actuality a naïve attempt to secure the reciprocal release of five British hostages — and a predictably disastrous one: The terror network released only the corpses of two of the hostages, threatening to kill the remaining three (and who knows whether they still are alive?) unless other terror leaders were released.
Michael Ledeen has reported that the release of the Irbil Five is part of the price Iran has demanded for its release in May of the freelance journalist Roxana Saberi. Again, that’s only part of the price: Iran also has demanded the release of hundreds of its other terror facilitators in our custody. Expect to see Obama accommodate this demand, too, in the weeks ahead.

I’m as glad as anyone that Roxanna Saberi is no longer wasting away in some Iranian dungeon, but at the expense of giving Iran back possibly hundreds of its terrorist foot soldiers? I’m not sure that’s a good deal. And, frankly, I’m not so sure it doesn’t encourage Iran to simply jail more Americans in hope of using them as leverage to win more concessions out of the limp-wristed Obama.

Somebody give them a map to Goldman Sachs and let them do what needs to be done.

Rob that sounds like NOBAMA broke our rules about not negoiating with terrorists. IF we did in fact lets those murderous, thugs go that is unacceptable and our troops could very well end up being harmed by these terrorist some other day.

Dino you idiot. Do you think a terrorist will look at you and say “Oh he’s a socialist, let him live.”

They hate you because you are an American and even more so because you are a homosexual?

Watch which side you choose.

What is our American Quisling(BHO) going to say when these people are back causing the deaths of our brave American heros? Some Commander in Chief. Traitor! One of those terrorists is not worth near to what Roxanne is.

What does that mean? Is the algorithm off and choose the wrong database of subjects to pull from? A ranomizer won’t help pass the Turing test.

Bullshit. If it would embarrass Obama you would give her up forever.

She must be very valuable, to be worth killing so many innocent Muslims and American troops for.

The Obama administration negotiated her release,

Hmmm, looks like Iran won that negotiation. Obama’s decision to release the five terror-masters comes while the Iranian regime (a) is still conducting operations against Americans in Iraq, even as we are in the process of withdrawing, and (b) is clearly working to replicate its Lebanon model in Iraq: establishing a Shiite terror network, loyal to Iran, as added pressure on the pliant Maliki to understand who is boss once the Americans leave.

Way to go dufus BO.

I guess it doesn’t get real until we see these five coming across the line on the field of battle again. I work with a bunch of Iraq Vets and they all say the same thing, the more rights you bestow on the enemy less they are worth to the boots on the ground who ultimately make the decision to squeeze the trigger or not.

Yes, the people in the line of fire will stop taking prisoners if it’s too dangerous with no benefits. I don’t want to be a citizen of a country that would refuse to take prisoners.

If it would embarrass Obama you would give her up forever.

Your partisan line is showing. No one wants a young woman in a middle eastern prison.

Greetings:

I live out in the San Francisco Bay area. Last week, the local TV media covered events calling for the release of the two American female journalists being held by North Korea. During the coverage, the journalists’ supporters owned up to the journalists having entered North Korea illegally. (Not that anyone of any intelligence ever really believed that they went into North Korea by accident or that the North Koreans went into China to kidnap them.) Unfortunately, for the American public, this information was not available or forthcoming until after the journalists had been arrested, held, tried, convicted, and sentenced. Now, all of a sudden, looking at 12 years of hard labor, they’re remorseful and, on their part, the American public and government should marshall all their resources to effect the journalists release.

Sometimes rÃ©sumÃ© enhancement can be a bitch (if you will forgive my French). These reporters are supposed to be people of some intelligence, yet they willing expose themselves to totalitarian regimes and then, when, their plans unravel, expect the American government to sacrifice its peoples’ interest to protect or rescue them. How is it that these journalists are exempted from considering the risk in which they are putting their government and fellow citizens?

As to the journalist in Iran, my favorite tidbit was her “dual” citizenship. Isn’t that wonderful, just so, how do you say it, transnational. My God, I hope her experience doesn’t effect her fear of commitment.

Old Grunt, you are too right. Not only are those young ladies in trouble in DPRK, the Chinese said they want to prosecute them for violating the border from their side. After being directly told by their Chinese government handler NOT to do it.

And why didn’t Algore, their employer, secure their release? He has deep pockets. Whats up wid dat shit!?!?
