TexasTiger 12,876 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Wow. That is beyond messed up. People being hand fed and patted on the head by Iranian leaders feeding them propaganda is beyond messed up. The Iranians have so much to gain if bernie or hillary are elected. It's amazing anyone would fall for this. The President that removed their biggest threat was Bush-- I'm guessing they'd love his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain you believe they want a Republican president (Heavy sarcasm). I'm even more certain you believe Jeb Bush has a shot (Heavier sarcasm). Trump opposed going into Iraq. Said it would further destabilize the middle east. Of course, he is such a huge narcissist he will nuke everyone when they insult his hairdo (Completely serious! ). Or should I say, hair don't.

Grumps 3,704 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Christian Today is reporting this as well. http://www.christian...tions/79387.htm Officially pissed. when i initially read this thread at work i was mistakenly thinking of the Sailors held for a few hours. now that i have revisited the site i see what this is about i am little more inclined to believe it. just a little. The prisoner who gained perhaps the most attention was Saeed Abedini, a convert from Islam to Christianity who became a pastor and was visiting his parents in Iran. Many evangelical leaders called on Obama to work for his release, one of whom was his wife who eventually backed down her support. In November, Naghmeh Abedini began to back away from her high-profile role in the campaign, telling supporters by email that her husband had been abusive to her and she can “no longer live a lie.” Christianity Today published two emails Naghmeh Abedini sent to supporters about her troubled marriage, which began in 2004. She confirmed that she had experienced “physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse through her husband’s addiction to pornography.” She wrote at the time, “The abuse started early in their marriage and has worsened during Saeed’s imprisonment,” which she confirmed on Saturday. The two had been speaking by phone and through Skype, but she said she has not spoken with him since October. She said the timing of those emails, which were leaked to media, was unfortunate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/01/16/u-s-pastor-saeed-abedini-jailed-for-his-faith-reportedly-will-be-released-with-other-iranian-prisoners/ So the republicans tried to delay the prisoner swap because the missionary and his wife were not getting along????? Clearly the republicans are trying to protect women. Yeah, that's it! This thread keeps getting worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUUSN 823 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I mean they spoke to Israel. “A U.S. intelligence official familiar with the intercepts said Israel’s pitch to undecided lawmakers often included such questions as: “How can we get your vote? What’s it going to take? Mr. Netanyahu and some of his allies voiced confidence they could win enough votes.” http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-spy-net-on-israel-snares-congress-1451425210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The OP title states that " US Republicans HAD Asked Iran to delay prisoner swap." Yet no one here seems to believe it or can name ONE Republican who did so. Lot of ifs and buts but not one fact or names. I can only conclude it's not credible.
