Get ready folks, another Biden failure coming our way.

"The Biden administration has cleared the way for the release of five American citizens detained in Iran by issuing a blanket waiver for international banks to transfer $6 billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar without fear of U.S. sanctions. In addition, as part of the deal, the administration has agreed to release five Iranian citizens held in the United States."

US moves to advance prisoner swap deal with Iran and release $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds.

Okay, a prisoner swap might be in the best interest for both countries however, American prisoners were most likely held simply because they are Americans, while any Iranian prisoners we have are most likely terrorists in some way.

When Iran held hostages during the Carter presidency, all types of negotiations were tried to no avail. It was only when Ronald Reagan was president that he told Iran, release the American hostages or suffer the military consequences. Those American hostages were very soon released.

And of course by releasing billions of dollars to Iran will only increase their nuclear capabilities, which they have recently been working very hard to build up and use against us. It would have been better, (if at all possible,) to negotiate a prisoner for prisoner swap without releasing the frozen billions of dollars.

This is just another bad Biden deal that will lead, in one way or another, to another Biden administration failure. Kind of ironic that this deal with Iran comes out in the news on 9/11. A deal with the people responsible for causing the 9/11 attacks in the first place. How sad.

I still don't see how anyone can think and/or feel that Biden is not destroying our country.

I see you've been captured by the right-wing media machine. This happened about six weeks ago but has only been converted to the tragedy du jour by Fox News now.

So you believe Bush was President right after Carter? Interesting. It was Reagan who committed treason by negotiating with the Iranians during the election, and got them to hold off releasing the hostages until he took office in January. Not only did Bush not get the hostages released, Reagan PROLONGED their captivity for personal political gain.

Iran was abiding by a nuclear deal and not increasing their capabilities--until Trump unilaterally reneged on the deal, to the horror of our allies. The current advances are due to his malfeasance.

You need a remedial history class. You obviously have not paid attention.
