Quote:We reported on the good news that a third round of hostages was released by Hamas on Sunday. Included in that group was little Avigail Idan who spent her fourth birthday in captivity, with Hamas having killed her parents before they kidnapped her. Following news of her release, Joe Biden said he didn't know the status of the other American hostages, and then made a creepy comment about the child.

Now, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby is reiterating that they don't know much about where the hostages are or when they might be released.

"We don't have a whole lot of information about them, where they are, what condition they might be in, or what exactly the schedule would be for their release," Kirby said.

But then he made a surprising revelation that there were "other groups" who might be holding the hostages, besides Hamas, something they had not told us before.

"There's other groups that could have some [hostages], and of course, it's gonna be on Hamas to go get them and to be able to produce them in exchange for additional Palestinian prisoners," Kirby stated.

Wow, to what other groups is he referring? Are other Iranian proxies holding them? That's concerning. It's also concerning that they're only revealing this now.

Kirby said they were working through the Qataris to speak with Hamas to get to the other groups. Hamas leaders are staying in Qatar, as we noted, in part because of a deal made by Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

That sounds like a troubling telephone tag enterprise. But no worries, Kirby tells us we'll have to rely on Hamas. "That's going to be up to Hamas," Kirby said.

"We're hoping that [Hamas} will do the right thing here — identify additional hostages and help get them released," Kirby explained.

Hoping that Hamas will do the right thing? Is the Biden team delusional? That's the group that rampaged through towns, raping women, slaughtering people and kidnapping babies. To say simply we have to rely on them to do the right thing sounds incredibly weak.

What a precarious position we are in, with these folks in charge.

Hope is not a policy.

Hoping that the people who massacred defenseless civilians will "do the right thing".

That's freaking brilliant.

That's about as crazy as hoping Iran doesn't use those billions to fund terrorism.

And about as irresponsible as leaving behind > $7 BILLION in military equipment in Afghanistan, on the dismissive excuse that the Taliban doesn’t have the technical expertise to use it.
