Only in America would we pay a country billions of dollars because we "owe" it to them at the same time we are firing warning shots at their ships. Damn we are stupid.

NO, who was "Stupid" was Ronald Reagan for selling them FIGHTER JETS, taking there money and not giving it back when the transaction was cancelled putting us into a situation years later where an INTERNATIONAL COURT was going to assign us MILLIONS of dollars in INTEREST if we didnt give it back.

If you want to go back into the "wayback" machine, go far enough to find the real culprits of this action.

Maybe if REAGAN wasnt selling ARMS to our enemies during his administration, we wouldnt be having such a tough time in the middle east....

A court of international law was going to rule against our country, and we struck a better deal than we would have gotten in the courts.

Try some reasoning skills next time.

Screw the International Court System. We are probably the only country that pays attention to them. We should be sending them a bill (and still be firing on them---not warning shots though).

He answered with a question mark. Figures as bbsam is ambivalent about a lot of things. This stems from his relationship with Fed EX .Some ways(where it saves Fed Ex money), he is an independent contractor but when it it time to be controlled like an employee, then that's what he is.

I'm all for changing existing law to rectify those situations.

In this case, TOS is correct. Iran paid $400 million for friend-14's that we never delivered. It was Iran's money that we gave back to them.

Some people think Obama is trying to get Iran to start a war with us so he (Obama) can declare martial law and stay in office indefinitely.

Does the Iranian patrol boats encroaching on our ship(s) bring back any memories?

Some people also believe Obama is a Muslim and not born in the USA.

"some people" might include:
-older more mature adults;
-those that can relate past historical events with present scenarios;
-those that aren't living in a fantasy world created by our silver tongued POTUS;
-those that are open-minded enough to consider the possibilities and;
-those that have other things to do than slap red X's on others post on internet forums.

Give me some time and I will think of more reality based reasons.

ADDITION: ask the family members of the USS Cole victims.....they may have more reasons.

So in your mind, the idea that Obama is trying to declare martial law nationwide and stay in office indefinitely, is a "mature" thought process based in reality?

Dude, you have issues. Seek help.
