Gotta love these tough sanctions.

Wasn’t it Kruschev that said that Americans will sell us the rope to hang them?

I hope it includes parts for 777.

The Tyrant supports Iran more than America.

The useless, hated, EXEMPT Congress remains
in its brothels and banks and ambien-laced offices
abdicating to treason.

Thanks to the Public Housing Kenyan Muslim, Horse face and Valerie Jarrett!

And this is why I say sanctions are pointless.

This is just one case that makes the news but thousands of waivers are given.

[Secret Agent Man]

Lemme guess they wanted some 777 parts....

[GraceG]

I hope it includes parts for 777.

Bwahahahahaha...

Maybe a new tail so they can take the old one and drop it off inthe indian ocean somewhere to declare the aircrast officially lost, so then they can put the new one on the plane and use...

This makes the Saudi’s recent signals of dissatisfaction a little more understandable.

Great sanctions by the Obama Administration. Maybe one of the planes can be used to attack Israel. Or the U.S.

From wiki.

Trade between Iran and the United States reached $623 million in 2008. According to the United States Census Bureau, American exports to Iran reached $93 million in 2007 and $537 million in 2008. American imports from Iran decreased from $148 million in 2007 to $86 million in 2008. This data does not include trade conducted through third countries to circumvent the trade embargo. It has been reported that the United States Treasury Department has granted nearly 10,000 special licenses to American companies over the past decade to conduct business with Iran.

Does that include an auto destruct if close to a US Skyscraper?

[MAKOTHEDOG]

I would never insult a horse like that :-)

Try removing the passengers before you deliver the spare parts.

[X-spurt]

Must have had a bit of a rough landing at some kaka Pak airfield.

[hamboy]

I thought the same thing.

Atta boy, Kerry. Any chance they are looking for parts to a 777?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

This is so wrong...
