When I Was a Prisoner in Iran, I Came to Fear the Sound of Hillary Clinton's Voice

This is why Hillar4ry talking about Iran as her enemy is so ridiculous. It is real people with lives and families who pay and whose lives are at risk. Meanwhile, she revels in believing that Iran hates her personally so much that they would take prisoners to prove it?
I didn't realize exactly how narcissistic that comment was until I read this....

I remembered sitting in my cell in 2009—I think I was trying to memorize a family tree from Greek mythology or something equally random—when I heard then-Secretary of State Clinton's voice from a television in a neighboring cell. I ran to the door and pressed my ear into its little window. She was commanding Iran to release us immediately. My heart sank. I imagined my interrogator bringing me into his padded room, blindfolded, and ranting about how Iran would not be bossed around by America, "The Great Satan." I came to fear the sound of Clinton's voice. Whenever I heard her publicly slam Iran about something, I would mentally prepare for at least another couple of months in prison.

It's too soon to say whether the era of Iranian hostage taking is over. The unjust imprisonment of innocent people will always be Iran's responsibility, and it's up to its government to end it. But we don't need to make things worse. Right after these four Americans flew out of Iran, the Obama administration announced it would be applying new sanctions on Iran—the same sanctions Clinton had called for. It had been planning to do this, it turns out, for some time, something the former secretary of state and presumptive Democratic nominee was likely aware of. To be sure, these sanctions, which target just a few individuals and small companies that send crucial technologies to Iran, are nothing like the ones that were just lifted. The old ones cost Iran $30 million a day, draining its economy and weighing on the lives of regular Iranians, many of whom oppose their government. But these sanctions send the wrong signal. There may have been a time when they would have made sense as a way of putting pressure on Tehran. But if our goal is to move forward with Iran, the day after such a breakthrough is the wrong time.

1. Was Hillary the only person advocating for the prisoners release??

2. Did you read the article?

It's not about advocating for their release. It's about her hawkishness that influenced the way they were treated when they were heald hostage. Her SOS "success" was gained on their backs and she takes pride in it.

3. She was an obstacle to their release.
