Well, so much fer getting them 3 hikers back this year.

Be Well.

Let's see...the Mid East is a boiling point, they hate us....so....let's go hiking.

It's called the thinning of the herd.

The idiots that get captured fucking around in foriegn countries deserve whatever happens to them.
Unfortunately our country as a whole will suffer in some way, shape, or form due to some negotiation we'll need to enter in order to secure their release.

Note to hikers, religious missionairies, peaceniks, etc:
Fuck you. Mind your own fucking business and hike in your own fucking country. If you get caught violating another country's rules, you're fucked. I hope you're tortured.

Maybe they were spies. Who knows. Just so strange that they would choose to go for a leisurely hike in that part of the world at a time of such high tensions. Maybe they are just stupid and naive.

Mod,
I'd hope our "spies" would have been able to elude capture by some po-dunk border security. So I tend to doubt that angle.
If they are stupid and naive, that's a bad break for them, and shouldn't cost us some bargaining chips, loss of face, or loss of detained Iranians.

If you break foriegn laws you need to suffer the consequences. Look at the kid that got whipped/caned years back. He did the crime and deserved the punishment.

President Raygun denies US weapons exchange for the release of US hostages held in Iran.

Which makes me think of those Baptist missionaries in Haiti. Were they stupid and naive? Did they know they were breaking any laws by proceeding without the proper legal paperwork?
I am sometimes surprised at how Americans tend to assume that they can get away with stuff in foreign countries just cuz they are Americans and don't 'mean' any harm.

"Does not recall"

Yeah, having Oldtimer's is a really shitty excuse.

What's Bill's excuse? Blue Balls?

.... Or that babies are big $$$ ?

Damn, am I misanthropic or what?

Maybe all you WingDings can get on the phone to Jesus and get him to email these detained citizens some Inalienable Rights!

How could they not know they were breaking laws unless they were stupid and naive?
If they weren't stupid and naive then they knew fully well they were stealing kids and should suffer an even harsher fate.

These highly enlightened Berkley grads can figure their own way out of Iran. Im sure they wouldn't want the Marines to come and rescue them. That would be a violation of their religion.

Take notes you dumb fuck libs who like to go hiking in hostile lands. Better yet I think you should all go hiking across Sierra Leone or Nigeria. Make sure you wear your American flag t shirts

"Were they stupid and naive? "

Well they did go to Berkley

BPH: It is Berkeley. Not Berkley. But having misspelled the name doesn't necessarily make you stupid. Or even naive. Rather, it is your labeling of the hikers as " dumb fuck libs" which earns you those honors.

Dear President Ahmadinejad:

Deliver a pound of your finest saffron to the White House for each prisoner you want back. Keep the stupid fucking hippies, we sure as hell don't want 'em back.

Thanks,
