If the 15 troops had been from the USA?

Question

Would Bush/Cheney try to make them pay back their wages for the time they were in Iran?

Answer 1

No, they would donate their wages to Halliburton and bechtel, just like they donate 75% of all the money "for the troops" from these supplemental spending bills.

Answer 2

Looking at the present mental make upof President Bush's Govt.& their faith in their alies added with .selfish motives,"Might is right Policy", who are acting like devils without caring opinion of world citizons, would definately run over the Iran . And would be shading crocodile tears before the world.And would smilingly express sorrow and say" We needed money to pay the compansation to the 15 captured troops."

Answer 3

Well the Iranians tried this on some US personnel and this is what it got them.

This also took place within Iraqi territory..go figure.

Answer 4

They get paid regardless. No stop in wages.

Answer 5

If they'd been Americans: they wouldn't have been taken prisoner; there'd have been dead Iranians floating in the Gulf.

Answer 6

haha, no there would have been a vicious gun battle right there in the water. bad scene. no taking the soldiers hostage. just men with guns getting it on. we dealt with their candy-*** hostage taking bullshit in 1980 so we know how the iranian fundamentalists roll.

Answer 7

no. they would have blundered in with force and got many people killed including the troops they were trying to rescue.

Answer 8
