And suddenly, after spending pages trying to derail the thread, Yurt is so very worried about the thread being "on topic".

New JPP screen name...same pathetic YurTroll van Buttsting.

ROFL!

Who is Yurt and why do you keep insulting me by calling me troll and buttsting? Why you still derailing the thread with petty personal attacks?

Sounds like Iran doesn't want a Republican elected.

Who does?

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Other sources are reporting it as well. Now we will see what the Republican response is.

I'm pretty sure you can count on that they will blame it on Obama.

Proving a negative? How does one go about that?

Impossibility theorems. Which is a proof demonstrating that a particular problem cannot be solved, or cannot be solved in general. There are a number of these.

Proof by contradiction
The existence of irrational numbers
Euclid's Parallel axiom
Fermat's last theorem
Gödel's proof
Turing's first proof

These are all examples or "proving" a negative via impossibility theorems.

Report: Iranian Official Says GOPers Tried To Stall Prisoner Swap For 2016 Election


An Iranian official said "Republican rivals of the current US administration" attempted to stall last month's Iranian-U.S. prisoner swap until the eve of the U.S. presidential election, Tasnim News Agency reported.

According to the semi-official Iranian news outlet, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, made the claims during a speech Thursday at a rally in Yazd, Iran.

"In the course of the talks for exchanging prisoners, the Republican rivals of the current US administration who claim to be humanitarians and advocates of human rights sent a message telling us not to release these people [American prisoners] and continue this process [of talks] until the eve of US presidential elections,” Shamkhani said, according to Tasnim.

"We acted upon our independent resolve and moved the process forward,” Shamkhani said.

The prisoner swap Shamkhani referred to included Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian and three other U.S. citizens imprisoned in Iran, who were freed in exchange for the release of seven Iranians.

The swap was negotiated alongside the White House's nuclear deal with Iran, and the prisoners were released just before the economic sanctions on Iran were set to lift as part of the nuclear deal.

Anyone here the released hostage's interview on NPR and how Hillary's saber rattling kept him locked up longer?

Yes I heard that story. It was particularly interesting and well done. The man who was held captive pointed out that it was not just Hillary Clinton but the saber rattling from the west in general. Do you think the saber rattling would get better under the Republican front runner Donald Trump.
