The five US prisoners released by Iran today as part of a controversial prisoner swap have arrived in Doha to begin their journey back to America, where one says he is eager to visit an Apple store to find out what the latest phones are after eight years behind bars.
The prisoners were flown first from Tehran to Doha on a Qatar Airways jet today. They were greeted on the tarmac at Doha Airport by the US Ambassador to Qatar, Timmy Davis.
The price of their freedom was $6billion in frozen funds that the US seized from Iran in 2018, and now claims will be used for humanitarian purposes only,

I hope this guy is worth the 1.25 billion dollars we paid for him. I know Diaper Joe wouldn't pay 1.25 billion dollars for me so this guy must be super duper special. Not to be cynical. I'm glad he is out of that Hadeshole of a Stone Age country. But 1.25 billion dollars? Really?

An "American"? With that name, sounds questionable.

Yet you can easily find videos on social media about people visiting Iran. They say the people are wonderful, the food is terrific, and you really don't have to be too afraid of the government. They must be nuts.

No American should visit Iran until the mullahs are gone. Not only are you spending your money in an Islamofascist society, you are placing yourself at risk. If the US chooses to ransom you, that action will put all other Americans at risk as well.

And what is to stop the muslim Iranian Mullah savages from promptly going out into the streets of Iran and arresting 5 more Americans who are stupid enough to travel to Iran? Nothing! Iran has a new very lucrative cottage industry - Imprisoning and holding Americans for billions which they know the communist death democrats (who are like the Mullahs fanatically dedicated to death to America and Israel) will gladly pay because these billions will go directly to killing Jews and Americans.

"The price of their freedom was $6billion in frozen funds that the US seized from Iran in 2018, and now claims will be used for humanitarian purposes only"
So, "humanitarian purposes" that they would not have done without US money? Doubtful, and who knows what they consider "humanitarian".
Lets be real, we added $6b to their income, and put a bounty on all Americans or friends of Americans in Iran and other unfriendly regimes.

Am I the only person not excited by new phones ? BTW, that swap shows, once again, that the biden/Obama clan is anti American.
