Should we trade arms for hostages, like Reagan did?

[nitroz]

No we will just let them be killed and blame it all on a youtube video isn't that the new model?

Then blame the deaths on Obama

 

[NYcarbineer]

They were warned that Algeria was, pardon my language, fucked up.

They can raise their own ransom.

 

[Wry Catcher]

When did Reagan trade arms for hostages?

Since President Reagan forgot, I guess Iran-Contra never happened.

 

[percysunshine]

That didn't happen.

Congressional testimony is difficult to un-invent.

There's no testimony that describes that happening.

Agents watched illegal deals. They were private sales.

No guns were introduced by the government.

And that was "part of the problem" you folks were pointing too, because unlike the program under George Bush, which did introduce new guns with tracking devices, this was a good deal more passive. And the program that occurred under the Bush administration, "failed" because the people buying the guns, removed the tracking devices.

Obviously , you did not watch the live version of C-span and have never read the Congressional Record.

That is ok though. No one is stopping you from accessing public records.

 

[whitehall]

Holy crap.

Really?

Iran-Contra.

What hostages?

What planet?

What hostages were involved in Reagan's violation of the Boland amendment to a military appropriations bill.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

The Israelis relesase thousands of Palestinian prisoners to get a couple of their guys back, and everyone thinks the Israelis are geniuses in these sorts of situations.

Maybe that's a better idea?

it takes a few hundred ragheads to equal one israeli

Then by your logic we should give Al qaeda in Algeria everyone we're holding at Gitmo in exchange for whichever Americans they have.

You really are an intellectual gem.

I watched it.

Issa made alot of loopy insinuations not backed up by any facts. So did the other people who were part of the commission. In fact..many didn't even ask questions. They just made all sorts of wild accusations.

Like Brian Terry.

There's no ballistic evidence linking bullets to ANY gun. Let alone one that was watched.

They had Holder testifying over 10 times too..that's some kind of record.

I may have inspired a brand new historical revision, although maybe it's not that new.

Reagan was in violation of the Constitution when he started giving aid and comfort to the enemy while violating congressional legislation.

That's treason.

There is no bullet balistics evidence?

You are implying that ATF guns were run across the border to Mexican drug cartels.

Grasping for straws is kind of embarrassing.

nonsense. we should harshly interrogate the innocent little lambs at gitmo before they are tried and executed

 

[tjvh]

...i.e., the American hostages in Algeria?

Is this a 'what would Reagan do' situation?

Funny how we have even gotten to this point after Obama proclaimed that Al Qaeda was decimated... I guess Obama was lying again. It's OK though... As long as the checks keep coming on the first of the month. and there's still a positive balance on everybody's EBT cards.
