[Boilers]

Follow the Yellow Brick road. It leads to OZ.
There you'll find the great Ayatollah Wizard. He will grant you three wishes to die quickly. Auntie Em will not bring you back and the Munchkins can't save you.
Now, click your heels three times and wait for the sound of the firing squad.

But I6BO said we should sing "KumbaYa" with all the nations, hold hands and drink from the endless . I6BO will protect us and give us the CHANGE we so wanted. Besides I6BO is 'greater' and GOD and as such he can with a single speech using his teleprompters make any government do his will.

You wait and see all you non-I6BO believers. His smile and charm will make this problem go away. If anyone does not believe this please step up so that the I6BO NSP can pick you up in the morning for some much needed re-edumification of what being a good world citizen is all about.



As for those arrested, hum... no comment.

To answer the OP.

Maybe because they are CIA?

That would be one cleverly disguised undercover assignment....3 agents lost in the mountains wandering around like sheep looking for secret super-duper top information.
But, with the Democrats, it sure sounded good during the planning breifing.

I would imagine they are going through a quite unpleasant time while the iranians confirm who they are, what they know, and why they were there. I'm sure they don't believe three americans would be stupid enough to go hiking around for fun in iran...

WRONG. They're from California.
They probably thought that because Osamabama was their new spiritual leader, they could now travel to Iran, North Korea, The Lost City of Atlantis....etc.

Fun in Iran??!! Those are two words I thought I would not hear in the same sentence.

I think Jim Shockey went hunting in the mountains of Iran a couple years ago. I thought he was nuts.

 

[DHolder]

I asked myself that same question this morning. Looks like none of us can come up with a good reason. I just hope they get the bill for finding their sorry butts. UNLESS.... they bring Bin Ladens head in with them!

 

[jeremy]

I bet they voted for the Pres...

They are NOCs that got caught coming in. This is why they came in Pakistan via Turkey. Agents with a weak ass cover. Turned in by the fourth that was released. An Iranian catch and release if you will.

 

[Hotdoger]

Hikers. Yea right. Democrat nutjobs!
