They haven't coughed it up yet, but Washington is pressuring Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and Switzerland to fork over to Iraq's new government millions in assets hidden in banks there by ex-prez Saddam Hussein. In Syria alone, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents uncovered $260 million in hidden Iraqi assets.

I think until we start seizing assets from these countries or freezing other accounts, we won't get movement out of them. they just aren't taking us seriously on this matter and we seem unwilling to really get into it with them. so as a result Saddam can subsidize hits on our in country troops.
