Iran Renders Verdict on US Hikers.

[damngrumpy]

Gerry I was not intending to say America had anything to do with it, its just that the American TV
networks, filling entertainment time, pretending they are news outlets keep talking about how the
world should mirror their likeness and image.
Unfortunately many people don't understand there are places in the world that don't give a hoot
about what the west thinks. In addition forcing democracy on people who are opposed to it is a
giant waste of time. Until they evolve into an educated society, they will never accept the concept
and we can instill with force but once we leave they will return to the same old same old

Well, at least they got a trial. The poor guys at Gitmo have been there without trial since 2002 or 9 years. Before anyone points the finger for some supposed injustice, let's not forget that there are many others who also claim to be victims of political unfairness.

An international tribunal would have been better in both instances. But who am I to make such a suggestion.

Wasn't "Gitmo" supposed to close one year after Obama took office? What happened to that promise?

 

[petros]

Did Obama meet any promises?

 

[Nuggler]

Having watched "Midnight Express" was enough to quench forever my need to go anywhere near the ME...........or Montana.:lol:.......or New York even..........Unless I check in to customs as is the correct custom, customarily.

One can take the idiot out of the country, but it's impossible to take the idiot out of the idiot. WTF did they think would happen. Guess we might find out, in eight years.

Now let's get back to the REAL IMPORTANT stuff: Exactly how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Lol yeah those poor buggers at Gitmo are being treated so bad, they don't want to leave.

I would have thought closing Guantanimo would have been one of the easiest!

True. In fact he signed an order to close it down within a year back in January 2009.

At least they got a trial. Give me a break.

I would go to Gitmo before Iran on any day of the week.

Did this women get a tria?
.

These guys got a trial too. Their offense was being gay.

God damned knuckle draggers.

The chance to help the people or Iran came and went. It's why Colin Powell quit.

Well you know. It always comes back to being America's fault.

I bet those gays worked for the CIA and the Canadian reporter? Probably an FBI Plant. And the women with the noose around her neck, well she probably did something to deserve it.

The mentality of some on this board when it comes to choosing between America and Iran as the the root of all evil is unbelievable.

Personally, if America is the great Satan, somebody hand me a pitchfork and let's get the BBQ started.

We'll next time a nation head comes to America and says "hey we are willing to work together to resolve our issues" don't tell them to **** off then there wouldn't be this problem.

Please.

Are you saying that didn't happen or you weren't aware that happened?

I am saying that the regime in Iran has never been an honest broker. They are a catalyst of terrorism and have been since the Shaw was ousted in the 70's. I would put very little stock in any offers they made.

Given that, the United States is not responsible for how Iran conducts itself.

Iran is.

So, you buy into the hate propaganda the US dishes out? As in any relationship, it take two to tango. It is a 50/50 deal.

The above is not US propaganda. It is an Iranian reality.

 

[gerryh]

Ok RCS, what exactly do you expect these 2 idiots to get? Do you, or did you, expect Iran to give them a slap on the hand, a pat on the head and send them on their merry way back to Iraq?

Iran sentences U.S. hikers to 8 years in jail

Iran sentences U.S. hikers to 8 years in jail - CBS News

Making a statement???

What kind of secret information could hikers have gathered in some border town? Seriously!

This is almost as bad as the ideocy at Guantanamo. To give the US credit though, at least they don't put 17 year old Baha'is to death for daring to exercise their freedom of religion.

We should Nuke Tehran. That would make a real statement to these bunch of knuckle dragging sister f ucking kid touching self righteous morons with their pretend god.

Disclaimer: That is not to say we should nuke all Iranians, just a few 100, 000 to make a statement.

100,000 in exchange for eight, not to mention many among those 100,000 might be victims of the regime themselves. Brilliant!

Being stupid or foolhardy is something young people do all the time.

What do I expect? Immediate release. Will that happen? No, but all involved know it's a bullsh!t charge, they have served two years already and the Iranian regime is simply using them for propaganda purposes.

100,000 in exchange for eight, not to mention many among those 100,000 might be victims of the regime themselves. Brilliant!

Ask yourself if you think I was being really serious. If the answer is "Yes" then my response is also: "Brilliant."
