I guess you should show up...

I LOLd so hard when I read this and YES the whole thing is completely true!

Iran ordered to pay $10.5 billion for 9/11 by US judge

In a recent news story the US just sued IRAN and issued a default win because Iran was not aware that they were being sued for 9/11... Yeah you can't make this stuff up!

 

wait...almost?

 

did the US sue the Saudis? and if not why not?

 

The Saudis were found to not be culpable as there was no evidence to indicate they were in any way involved. Case dismissed. Never mind that most of the 9/11 actors were of Saudi origin. Immaterial.

This ^^^

 

When Hell freezes over, and the last tyrant is dead. BTW, this sheep, ain't a sheep. Has teeth and knows how to use them.

 

I feel like I just read an article from The Onion. That was lunacy and Americans are the lunatics in this instance.

 

That should tell you something. I think we all know that its dangerous to be sane in an insane world so watch what you do.

Oh lets also not forget that Osama Bin Laden is/was part of that royalty.

Should have taken it from the $150 billion we were holding in frozen Iranian assets. Looks like they got that back, and then immediately walked away from the arms deal that 0bama and Kerry were so proud of.

No evidence Iran participated in 9/11? Well maybe not. But they cheered it. That alone should've cost them a few billion.

It just shows that this court in particular doesn't have enough to do. Does anyone realistically expect Iran to pay up? What was the point of this exercise in futility?

 

I recall that Bin Laden was royalty but that story, I cannot figure it out. It just seems really bizarre. This is a NY Judge so it is not a judgement that was condoned other then in NY. We preach and really want states to have rights and have more control but then we get things like the story @enloopious linked. In case people never saw this news story----

The world has gone mad

 

Wait! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

Now that we have a multi-billion dollar judgement against them, we can put all the Iranians in debtor's prison, just as if they were honest American citizens.

It's a genius strategy to win the war on terror--unless they're just doing it for the money, of course.
