I am astonished and ashamed at the incompetence of our government, when a third-world fanatic little government can play with the U.S. like a kitten, time after time…there is no more backbone left in the U.S.? Help please! Switzerland or Denmark! or Luxembourg or Lichtenstein, Andorra or even Cyprus…anybody?

These 3 graduates are supposed to have been educated at one of our finest University to reason clearly. This reinforces that being a graduate means their going to be smart. The UC Berkeley should ask for their Diploma’s back. Or at least give them an “A” for their Post graduate education in stupidity. Now their bail can add to our multi-trillion $$ deficit. Thanks kids for costing our country for their explicit stupidity.

I am a bit surprised to see the number of less than cordial posts…. I thought I was one of the only ones that think these three nitwits should’ve been left in Iran. That the American people will in all likelihood flip the bill is one thing. That three immature individuals provided Iran with leverage from a foreign relationship standpoint underscores never underestimating the cost of personal stupidity.

I think that when the press gets to interview them, they should be connected to a lie-detector.

as a u.s. citzen with equal rights under the law, i will be expecting my check for $500,000. maybe the u.s can offset this expense by charging mexico $500,000 for each of their citzens that entered the u.s. illegally.

So… Why is Ahmadinejad coming to Columbia University again when that didn’t work out so well for him the last time?

Another victory for the Obama State Department and the incredible skills of Secretary Clinton! She has been nothing less than magnificent in a this horrendously difficult assignment and one can only wonder what kind of president she would have made!

Americans hiking in a war zone, on the border with another enemy country… why would anyone do that? Of course they would be looked at as spies. Either that or idiots!
