CNN, MSNBC, AP, Sky News, Wapo, Pajamas Media, and Fox News are announcing that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is claiming he is going to free the British hostages.
If this turns out to be true and he actually does release the hostages, than this is wonderful news.
I am not rushing into drinking champagne yet because he also promised to release the female hostage last week and then went back on his word as he has done in the past in different situations.
Now CLICK HERE and go participate in my first blog poll dammit!!!!!!
Second Wake up America Poll is right below.
[UPDATE] Looks like reports are true and Daily Mail is reporting the British soldiers will be home in time for Easter. No matter what Ahmadinejad's reasoning is, the reasons can be debated at a later date, it is GOOD NEWS that the Brits appear unharmed and will be going home.
Reports elsewhere are all over the map on this, some say it is some sort of exchange, others believe t was ordered by the Supreme Leader and still other accounts say that Blair not buckling and freezing all ties with Iran as well as going to the UN had an effect and even one I read somewhere thinks all our hardware in the Gulf helped tip the odds.
All of the above combined could have attributed to this development, or none of them or any combination.... that is a discussion for another day.
For today, I am happy for the Brits being released and their families and Godspeed to them. [End Update]
