#2 Another reason to leave Afghanistan now, the pigsty these primitives call home, and let them kill each other as they wish. They revolt me.

#3 Ditto # and #2. "94 per cent of outstanding loans" they are laughing all the way from the bank. I swear the modern day con artists are everywhere.
Fellow went to a small grocery store and offered to purchase it. He said he had to give her a post dated check for thirty days. This was her asking price. He moves in and sells her inventory down and skips town. On his way he test drives a new car. He drove off with it. The dealer gave him the car to test drive but didn't tell him when to bring it back and he didn't sign anything. That then gets complicated for the dealer.

Not hardly. The trillion dollar bailouts are 1000 times worse.

#5 Check for corresponding accounts in Bahrain, Dubai, etc. in the gentlemen's names -- they'll have stashed their ill-gotten gains in somewhere safe, friendly, and not too far away. Then take it all back. Easy peasy.
