Released U.S. hikers land in Oman to cheers, hugs

[omania100]

Oman...always a country of peace :)

[aityadeen123]

you must be either a zionist pretending to be iranians, or a simple iranian traitor, i chalenge you to cross the border between USA and mexico and when you get caugh use the same excuse, then we'll see what will happened to your sorry ass, (you'll be very welcomed in guantanamo bay,

who the fuck in there right mind, decides to go hiking in iraq . iran border at time of war ,

[muskymod]

What you don't know about these spies is that Sarah Shourd and Shane Bauer were living in Damascus, Syria.....then Josh shows up for a visit, and the three of them decide to travel across 540 miles of war torn, terrorist countries in order to reach the northern border of Iraq/Iran, where they found an excellent hiking spot.

My question to Josh and Shane is, "how was the boiled chicken and prison butt sex?"

[a55kika18]

This is zionist shit video. Vote Ron Paul! End the FED! END THE ZIONIST FUCKS! MOFOs

[jasonthemankiller]

As I have said many times before NEVER TRUST A JEW

it doesn't matter how nice you are to then in the end they bite you

[boykorda]

If they're spies they're incredibly bad at it, & if I were either of them I wouldn't hold m'breath waiting for a shrine at the CIA hall of fame. Mensa's, either. I would've guessed his fiance was Lorena Bobbitt. Where's the honeymoon, Kabul?

[princepersia1]

@mithars LOOL I know but propaganda man, sheeple are stupid, after all they all SHEEPLE. Even these comments "Iranians who are sorry" piss me off and what sucks is people believe them. "Hiking" then wondering into a foreign country without permission, if this was a Mexican "accidentally wondering" into the US, he/she would be jails for life. The Mossad/CIA have proven to be terrorists, they bomb and assassinate people in Iran and all over the world, they should have been hanged tsk tsk tsk :(

[princepersia1]

@thetexaseagle Labeled by who? No one gives a fuck about your label, the world doesn't revolve around you, Iran is just a country which is trying to succeed, it's not about nukes or even Israel, this is just a PR thing. The point is most people in Iran LIKE their system, go there and ask. The western media makes it seem the majority hate their government and want "freedom lol". The truth is the majority LOVE their government and in a democracy, the majority elect the government so GTFO!

[infjlady1]

I am an American and I have traveled a lot. CITIZENS are typically great people, and they don't control the GOVERNMENT. You Iranians had no control over this. When one government is mad at another government, they take it out on their citizens, and my government is the worst at this! How many times have they tried to get back at a government by bombing their citizens?! The American government REALLY caused this. Would this have happened if the hikers were Swedish, for example?

[zourba]

@xerxessonofdarius

I agree with all you said but if they were arested for crossing border illegaly, I mean that was another story. do you realy believe they are spy? come on mate, it's 21 centhury wich ediot sends 3 young people to the boarder for spying? spying on what?...if they were crossing border iligaly, why let them go? no my friend, that was kidnaping and that is what I'm ashaimed of.....sorry

[shivrajvishnu]

Why his idiots went to Iran for hiking when they have great hiking trails in their country, something is fishy.

[Michael0506]

you 2 mother fucking piece of shits, get the fuck out of our country and take your fucking pathetic cunt ass's back to iran you 2 fucking fags

[juvserr]

No offense, but as someone who has traveled in the Mid East, EVERYONE knows to stay FAR AWAY from borders, lest you get pinched - the fact that these boobs 'accidentally' crossed in testimony to their lack of any common sense - the same kind of idiocy which led Laura Ling and Euna Lee to stupidly cross into N.KOREA! so that Clinton had to kow tow to their Orwellian gov't to save their asses.. - glad their free, but they got what they deserve for being morons, period.

[MightyZocalo]

These idiots should have rot in jail.  Please dont waste my tax money for their stupidity.

[AncientCivSyndrome]

Welcome back guys! Another apology from an Iranian and a Muslim.

[rochelle1088]

It's more likely than not that these American/Israelis were performing some function against Iran. I'm not saying I wanted them to get caught but...Three Jewish "tourists"?..right next to the Iranian border?..with a travel warning issued to Americans?..and all of the them have backgrounds that are right in line with spies?...

[alrahib1991]

Thumbs up for Oman

[IAmOpenMinded]

These two guys were released after going through a legal process. Their legal system works though it's not perfect. I doubt the Iranians who were kidnapped in foreign countries and imprisoned here in the US are not going to have the same luck. Much less those in Guantanamo. So quit the complaining.

[majidjon13]

ARYAN mother fuckers

[TheShabadu]

I am an Iranian and was chasing this story since it was on the news for the first time and praying for them to be released all the time. I couldn’t stop my tears both from happiness and shame watching this scene now . down with the Islamic dictatorship who has invaded my land

[princepersia1]

@TheShabadu Most people in Iran ARE Muslim and last time I checked, the majority elect their government. I mean do you want the minority to elect the government, that's just stupid. We all know the tricks the media plays to make naive westerners think people hate their government in Iran and don't have "freedom" but I'm not one of those fucked up American sheeple, I'm an INFORMED American so take your lies, put them into a dildo and insert that dildo DEEP into your rectum and enjoy it, btw LUBE!

[zoskiaist]

@princepersia1 yeah but it didnt become the Islamic Republic until we overthrew a secular democratically elected leader (Mosedeq, for oil profits) and installed the brutal Shah. This led the way, many years later, to the Islamists coming to power. If this had happened in 1940 there would have been no problem, would there have?

Dont believe the propaganda. Look at the facts of history

[ARDESHIRAN]

Down with the US Military-Industrial Complex. Down with the apartheid Zionist military outpost of the US+Western Military-Industrial Complex in the occupied Palestine, established in 1948 through genocide, ethnic cleansing & mass expulsion of the non-Jewish native population (90-95% of total population in 1948) & their replacement with European Settlers. Long Live the Islamic Republic of Iran and the unity of Muslim nations from Bosnia and Morocco to Indonesia and Central Asia.

[blissmd]

@ARDESHIRAN Could you please shut the fuck up?? Please go back to the cave you came from and spare us from your stupid trolling anti-western comments.

I'm Iranian too, and as much as we love all people of the world including Americans , we hate pathetic stone-age Islamic anti-western morons like you.

[hispuregarden]

Welcome home, guys! And the next time you want to go hiking, consider the Grand Canyon! Many blessings!

[Dukelfino]

I am Iranian and I am glad too .

[hamid10tayefeh]

I know that they have a bad remembrance of Iran but they must consider their fault.I am happy for their freedom but there are some Iranian guys in the united state's prisons those are innocent like these 2 guys.They must try to get their freedom as a human being.All these things is the result of politic.Politic is fucking bullshit which is being dictated by US government,shame on all guys who are playing with the lives of innocent people.Iranian people are hospitable but government is different.

[apouian]

As an Iranian i should say that the iranian regim is not elected by us and we dont take any responsibilities for what they have done. But i hope these two young men forget all the hatdships they went through and try to make the world know what is happening in Iranian prisons and how bad political prisoners being treated there.

[LightSweet]

Now that these two lovely gentlemen have graced the world's stage with their struggle and claim they want to work on behalf of political prisoners everywhere, we hope they indeed do. As we can see from the comments here, there's are 1,000s more political prisoners being tortured in Iranian jails. That's where they should focus their campaign. The # of same held in American prisons is a fraction of a percentage of that.

[yayparker91]

i'm so happy for them! :) :)

[hucknell]

Why does everybody keep referring to the money paid to the Iranian authorities as 'bail'. It's not bail. It's a ransom payment, plain and simple. That money is going straight into the pockets of some corrupt Iranian judges.

[timak74]

WHY this hiker look like Iranians?

[arioarioaria]

WE ARE HAPPY for your FREEDOM.مردم ایران از آزادی شما دوستان عزیزخوشحال هستند

.

همگی برای آزادی اسیران دربند این رژیم متحد شویم

[arioarioaria]

So Happy to See you are FREE ,just remember how many innocent IRANIAN are in the prisons of despotic regime tortured and deprived of any human rights.

lets HOPE ALL IRANIAN POLITICAL PRISONERS GET FREE TOO.

[arioarioaria]

So HAPPY for your freedom Josh and Shane.

and So REGRETFUL for the shameless act of Islamic Government. (hey are not IRANIAN ) .

[arioarioaria]

..



[1983shahram]

i am a iranian and i feel realy sorry for this stupid govermant that we have,, i love american ppl. one of my best friend is american. i realy feel happy with u guys and wish the same thing ( freedom ) for iranian ppl too.

[123kkambiz]

Until We have not buried mullah (religeous men), Iran wont see freedom .

I am so happy for freedom of these nice two American gentelmen.

I think their next move is to sue Iranian government for their unreasonable captivity.

[zebelemahal]

it's so amazing and emotional time for them so i enjoy if i watch that lots of time.

[ShahrokhN]

These three made it out which is fantastic, but lets not forget the other prisoners of conscience imprisoned on falsified charges in Iran who don't have the support of the worlds media and governments behind them. Secular democracy for Iran.

[zourba]

as an Iranian I'm ashamed. But remember my country is captivated by Islamic regym just like these two young men, I'm happy they are free and wish the same for may people

[xerxessonofdarius]

@zourba to All of you who claim to be Iranian and say that you are ashamed; you should be ashamed 4 making such statement. have some self respect and sense of national pride . any country in this world will arrest those who cross thier border illegaly because the national security depends on it. well do this, ask your cousin from iran to come hiking to mexico and cross to US by mistake, you will see that how he would be imprisoned for a long time. and they would not apologize either.

[jasonthemankiller]

@zourba

Shut the fuck up you piece of Jew shit those bastards ware CIA spys you moron .

[zebelemahal]

تا ملا کفن نشود این وطن وطن نشود

[167nariman]

I am Iranian and on behalf of ALL Iranian people (omitting the government), I want to congratulate their parents. Moreover, we really apologize to all American people and those two brothers. Unfortunately we could not do anything for you, just we expect that you forgive Iranian people, it was not our fault, we are still in cage though you tasted the joys of freedom; Please wish us, Iranian people, to see the color of freedom like you guys. Sincerely yours --> Iranian innocent people

[EmperialDeMoN]

@167nariman

there is no need to apologize. especially when you talk on behalf of people. it''d be better to maintain some pride.

[nobodie1]

hello Mr/Ms 98-year old @167nariman, I see you just opened a youtube account to write these bullshits on behalf of "ALL" Iranians! I am sad that they were in captivity for two years but I am not apologizing to anybody because it wasn't me illegally entering another country nor me capturing/keeping them. I am not even sure if they were not spies. Consider what would happen if an Iranian entered the states "by mistake." I am sure their captivity and release is more complicated than what it seems.

[ARDESHIRAN]

@167nariman You are NOT Iranian. You and those others like you pretending to be "Iranian" are employees of MOSSAD and CIA social networks misinformation units. Your fake words do not represent Iranian people -- just represent MOSSAD and the US Military-Industrial Complex. Hundreds of Iranians and other innocent people - including Americans - are wasting away in the largest prison system in the World in USA. USA never apologized for toppling democratic gov. of Iran in 1953 or its other crimes

[xerxessonofdarius]

[juvserr]

@167nariman appreciate the sentiments, however as someone who's traveled all over the world, anyone with an OUNCE of common sense KNOWS you do not go traipsing around the borders of a country which your nation DOES NOT HAVE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH (ask Laura Ling and Euna Lee about their fun trip to North Korea what they think about this) - while they were unfairly targeted, the fact is they have only them selves to blame for the prediciment they found themselves in..

[Michael0506]

@167nariman

FUCK IRAN AND FUCK THOSE 2 FAGS HIKERS

[infjlady1]

As an American CITIZEN, I would like to say that we wish you freedom and do not hold you responsible for your GOVERNMENT's behavior because you have no control over it. They're getting back at our government for being domineering and selfish, and I sincerely apologize for the behaviors of the American government that ultimately led to this.

[princepersia1]

@167nariman You fucking retard, they just said the guys father is Israeli and so is he. You're a fucking idiot, these people were "hiking" and happened to just wonder into Iran? So not only do they spy on your country and try to sabotage it's security but you apologize. What a pathetic monkey. These people are terrorists, anyone who works for the Mossad is a terrorist, they carry out bombings to assassinate people and terrorize civilians. You're worse though. Fuckface.

[failurbanik]

@167nariman as an american i want you guys to keep these two

pls i beg of you

these are the DUMBASSES who buttfuck or country

[AmericansAgainstBush]

Mazel tov!!!!

[MariMagdalen]

This is wonderful news !

[jocamero1984]

Hooray! Now they need to free Hoder!

[MrSaeidjj]

وقتی اینا بمب دادن عراق و ایران رو زدند و کلی ایرانی کشتند چیزی نبود؟ چرا کسی اون ها رو نمیبینه؟ که با بمب کلی زن و بچه ی بی گناه رو کشتند.

[parrimaleki]

I can't stop crying , I'm so happy for them

such a big shame

[parrimaleki]

such a good news and big shame to Iran's goverment

[wavegirl722]

This is what a hug looks like after 782 Days. Simply magnificent! #FreeATLast #SSJ

[Asefs2]

[billidp]

And the tears flowed the world over! Huge thanks to Oman for the assistance they gave all three in getting released!
