    Diplomacy, foreign relations. I'm sure Trumpf would have cut a much better deal using hid flawless business acumen.

    What, again, does Trump have to do with the current President paying a bribe to a state sponsor of terrorism to release US hostages (and hiding this from the American people)?

    I like to live in a country that has been sponsoring terror since at least 1910, and then act like an ignorant hypocrite about states that sponsor terror, while also belonging to a party whose biggest hero in the last 50 years did the exact same thing.

    Not true on many levels, but thanks again for being a lemming and trying to excuse it. And no, Reagan did not pay a bribe to release hostages...but thank you for playing.

    How fucking stupid are you? And you try to claim you finished high school?

    Says the guy who apparently believes in the "October Surprise Conspiracy Theory"?

    Only thing missing is...well...evidence...such as the WSJ documenting how pallets of cash were being flown to Iran in undocumented flights.

    But keep spinning the conspiracy theories...

    Read up on Iran Contra. Reagan gave them arms. Which was a bribe. To get hostages from Lebanon.

    He admitted it. After he tried to keep it a secret but was caught.

    The October surprise was an entirely different incident.

    Odd move for an administration that has been pretty outspoken about the fact that they will never create a market for American hostages by paying out ransoms.

    Yeah I guess 5 top terrorists aren't money..........

    No, that administration didn't. They sold them arms. Still bad (and a whole separate foreign policy discussion...just ask Hillary and her involvement with folks like Pinchuk and Ericcson AB and now Lefarge who was working with ISIS), but that is still a BIG, BIG difference from sending pallets of unmarked currency over for hostages.

    You really are bad at this.

    Well we had Ambassador Stephens do our arms smuggling. He sent weapons into Syria via an Al Qaeda operative to anti Assad rebels who turned out to be ISIS. Oh and then let them all get killed. No witnesses..........
