Obama has opened the flood gate for Americans to be kidnapped.

President Obama has now proven twice to our enemies in the Middle East that the United States will pay handsomely for the return of its citizens. Of course there was the terrible prisoner swap, where Obama traded five senior Taliban terrorists for one gawky deserter named Bowe Bergdahl.

Then this week, President Obama traded seven Iranians accused of sanctions violations plus $1.7 billion ($400 million debt and $1.3 billion in interest dating to the Islamic revolution), for four Americans.

Clearly the message we’re sending is taking Americans prisoner is profitable. So what can you expect? Exactly, more of the same.

According to the Daily Mail, yesterday The U.S. embassy in Iraq confirmed that several Americans have been kidnapped from the capital city of Baghdad.

This is quite different from exchanging spies one for one during the cold war with Russia or North Korea. We’re going to see a wholesale of market for the release and payment of our citizens by whatever country that can kidnap them for a ransom in the future.

Why would any American want to be in that part of the world? I think you could find some tasty goat soup a little closer to home.
