Will Iran pay up? Or will we bomb them to "make them pay"?
Hi Pollshifter,
There’s no way to collect except to seize Iranian assets, which depends upon being able to locate them — no easy feat given the regime’s expertise at hiding them to avoid U.S./UN sanctions on the nuclear program — and then confiscate them per U.S. and international law. The verdict’s largely symbolic.
Well we all new we'd get there one way or another...God help us and please continue to pray for bill. His convoy was only 3 hours behind one that hit an IED just this past week. You know they won't pay...althought they should by rights...but we will sieze...you know that already!!~jackie
