so much for the USA not negotiating with terrorists/5 million paid for hostages in Eg

$5M Paid To Buy Freedom For Rights Workers Held In Egypt | Fox News

Snip:
Egyptian officials said the U.S. paid $300,000 each for 16 Americans, nine of whom were already out of the country.

The State Department said the money was paid by the nongovernmental organizations where the democracy and rights workers work. However, the NGOs receive U.S. funding for their operations.



It's becoming clear that we no longer have a clear cut plan when it comes to foreign relations. Paying for their release will now encourage other extreme groups to now kidnap Americans around the globe. This also proves that the US no longer holds ANY power around the globe. We had all our foreign aid to hold over their head but apparently had no credibility to achieve anything in such a manor.

Everybody knows that American lives aren't worth $300,000. Especially not if they're hoity toity liberal rights worker types. They would have done us a favor if they had executed them.

Everyone, with a brain, also knows that at 300k per American you got a very profitable new business model.

FINALLY, a coherent foreign policy from Barack Obama!

1. Beg, Grovel, and Apologize.

2. Use taxpayer money to pay ransom for kidnapped U.S. citizens.

It only took three years, but it's all clear now.

Had our nation not become the easily picked on high school nerd that gives up his lunch money rather than stand up for what's right, those workers would never have been imprisoned at all.

A very deadly situation? Yeah... but what do you care? No negotiations... no money. Your opinions are expressed friend. In what way to you is it deadly? Deadly irresponsible with our money?

Just today it was reported that 22 Americans were abducted and robbed while going on a tour during a Carnival cruise. Imagine the drug cartels realized the dollar value our govt just placed on American heads.

Or just continue to play politics with a REAL problem developing.

So you think that no negotiation with terrorists ever prevents these things from happening? You think that the only reason kidnappers kidnap people is because of what the government would pay vs what the families would pay?

Families pay as is their choice because its THEIR MONEY and you can't repetedly kidnap the same person over and over.

The govt on the other hand has an endless supply of MY MONEY and any person can be abducted with and endless supply of both victims and money. Especially now that we are apparently willing to publicly advertise that we will pay.

Fuck 'em, they shouldn't have been butting in on other folks business anyway.

P.S. Except if any of them were black, then they should have been freed.
