#6 So if you wonder how some of these terrorist groups keep showing up with these bright shiny brand new Hi-Lux pickup trucks and brand new 14.5mm AA guns...now you know.

Just like last week when "Ima in Hiding" Nusrallah said they got all of their money from Iran...there you go.

Euros and Swiss francs are much harder to trace.

#10 we don’t have a banking relationship with Iran

No electronic routing numbers so we won't know where it came from. Wonder if this is part of the billion$ smuggled out of Iraq after the fall of his namesake.
