Personally I don't think we should make any big effort to secure the release of these people. Ussually I like the idea of getting our people out of a situation like this but there is a certain threshold of stupidity when crossed people simply deserve what they get. Deciding to go on vacation in Iraq and wander about the Iraqi-Iranian border is crossing that line. It's like visiting the refugee camps in Darfur to try out the local food. Maybe if the chick was hotter or they were really were spies or they were doing something I'd be more forgiving. As Grumbler would say, "Fortunately you aren't in a position to make that choice", so maybe it's for the best.
I agree, fuck 'em.
We should launch a military rescue operation.
Just wait a couple weeks and they will be homeward bound sporting handsome new Iranian suits.

Only if it involves nukes.

Agree. Let's call Carter out of retirement to put it together.

QuoteThe videos show the relaxed travelers enjoying themselves as they take a break from exploring a town in Kurdistan.
"Yo it's hot. Yo it's hot. It's 'cause I'm in Iraq. Someone get me a fan. Someone get me a fan. 'Cause I'm in Kurdistan," Fattal raps as he chuckles and points to the Iraqi landscape behind him.

So will Bill Clinton fly to Tehran to free these idiots, too?

Let's send Jesse Jackson. Maybe they'll keep him.
Oh my, I don't sound like a Democrat at all in this thread. :blush:
