The charges come as the U.S. is rallying allies to block Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Saw an interesting story from Charlotte that said the crime rates had dropped dramatically last year. When someone asked if this had anything to do with the drop in illegals there was no comment!

No need for a comment. The answer is obvious. We have had a large drop in crime here in Arizona, primarily due to a mass exodus of illegals. We enacted a law which states that an employer must verify an employees right to work(e-Verify, and direct checked birth certificate), or the employer faces large fines, and or loss of their business license. 40% or more of our illegals have left. More leave every day.

According to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Jiraiir Avanessian, 56, of Glendale was paid several hundred thousand dollars to ship “high dollar vacuum pumps and pump related” equipment to Iran.

Maybe just one name but in the words of *the won* we probably shouldn't jump to conclusions. (I hope I don't have to close the sarcasm tag.) Is it possible the other guys were Swedes??

And the policy was such a simple solution too.

Don’t worry - zer0’s on the back nine, he’ll apologize shortly.

Yeah, he'll probably apologize to the 3 men. Especially the "Iranian born chemical engineer".

Who could have guessed he'd be a threat??

“Tom Smith, Mike Jones, and Bill Wilso” were just my jab at the non Indo-European names of the creeps likely involved!
