Just minutes ago, according to the official Iranian translator at Achmedinijad’s press conference, the Iranian terror master stated that the British hostages will be released.

This comes in the wake of media reports that Iran won the freedom of various key terror leaders from U.S. custody. Some of these reports have in fact, to various degrees, been confirmed to me by my own military sources.

Unfortunately, many of the victims of this manufactured crisis will see more victory than loss in its outcome. Yes, it’s awesome that the hostages are alive and to be freed. But as I’ve said all along, the ugly truth of the matter is that their release was never job 1. There was no good reason for them to be captured or harmed in the first place, yet now their freedom requires the simultaneous release of terrorists who threaten our troops in Iraq. How much joy is to be found in this?

And those who kidnapped and abused them now escape entirely unpunished. In fact, crime was rewarded today. Can someone explain how England, America, and the world are better off than they were the day before this attack occured? Iran committed a sort of home invasion, and then were simply paid to leave.

There is a difference between diplomacy and completely submissive capitulation.
