re: #634 Belafon
As others have pointed out, the terrorists already planned to free the first set of hostages, but weren’t going to release the second hostages at all.
So it’s even worse, we accomplished nothing they weren’t already going to give us. We got played, our leader in the Senate is clearly shook, the far left is even more alienated from Democrats than they were going in and we’re being told this is a win.
