Boo hiss, we should have gone in guns blazing and throwing bombs, casualties and expense be damned! After all we are a first world civilized nation and diplomacy is for despots.
This is great news but as usual the same characters are on this thread spewing their same hatred towards Obama that they have been doing since 2008. Obama is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't to the Tea Party crowd. Less taxes? Yeah right!!!

Not sure what taxes or tea parties have to do with anything, but in regards to the release of the prisoners your post proves the adage:
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day"

Yep. These are the same people who wanted the U.S. to fire cruise missiles at the Iranians when two U.S. Navy boats wandered into their territory and were temporarily taken into custody by Iran. Some people cheer for bloodshed at every turn, and see it as weakness when issues are resolve peacefully.
While I'm glad they've been released and will be returning home, I have little sympathy for Americans who willingly travel to hostile nations like Iran and N Korea and find themselves seized as political pawns on BS charges.
Don't want to be kidnapped by a hostile government?
Glad they're free, but this is yet another Fail for the Obama administration. We had to swap 6 know Iranian criminals for 4 Americans that were essentially being held hostage on bogus charges!
The Americans should have been freed with no strings attached as part of the bogus Nuke deal.
Another chapter in the art of a terrible spineless deal!
You people are funny, this is truly great news. I recall the criticism that these hostages were not included in the nuclear treat even though they were separate issues and here we have the 4 hostages being released and a student, yet you still think that was a good idea.
I guess some cannot handle success. You remind me of the knight in the Monty Python movie with his arms and legs cut off still begging for a fight, give it up and admit it this is great news and another victory for this administration.
Watching some of the Fox News former state department "experts" putting a negative spin on this, both hysterical and painful to watch.
