Major Garrett does know better... he had the guts to put forth what we are outraged about. Leaving four US citizens in limbo, leaving them "behind"... disgraceful. The security and safety of US citizens comes first! They should have been released BEFORE any other negotiations even began. And once again, Trump is one of the only ones saying that.

CNN. Broadcasting 'Bombs For Dummies' ! Kurdistan Two ISIS leaders killed by own bomb By Rudaw 12 minutes ago Photo shows smoke billowing from Mekhmour. Photo: Rudaw. Photo shows smoke billowing from Mekhmour. Photo: Rudaw. ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – A Peshmerga official says that a roadside landmine previously planted by the Islamic Sate on the Mekhmour front was triggered by an ISIS convoy early Thursday, killing two leaders of the terrorist group. “A mine had been planted by ISIS troops in previous battles in the village of Kharbadan to target the Peshmerga, the vise versa happened, killing two of the group’s local leaders on the front,” Ali Hussain, commander of the Mekhmour front told Rudaw. He added: “One of the slain Emirs [Leader] was the group’s administrator in the area named Abu Malik, and the other one named Abu abdul-Aziz.” The Peshmerga commander said the bomb went off at a time when several convoys of ISIS were passing by on the road. Earlier this month, a wave of attacks from the US-led coalition targeted ISIS bases on the Mekhmour front-lines, southeast of Mosul. http://rudaw.net/NewsDetails.aspx?pageid=144444

That would require thinking, can't when emotional indignation rule the day. It's truly painful to see, he has flayed himself open to the public, and displayed wanton fecklessness with reckless abandon. Doesn't go with well with denial It's what trolls do. I've been busy lately, and only now have had a chance to stop by. You are impressive. It amazes me how you are able to babble on about a subject you are so obviously personally clueless about. What's wrong, the women at the pregnant forum still refuse to accept your detailed instructions on exactly what they need to do to stay in shape during their "ordeal"? Oh no, don't tell me, you were caught porkin on a bacon cheese burger by your vegan club soul brother. You apparently have no problem demanding the world accept your impassioned ignorance as gospel, for no other reason than you have managed to totally convince yourself everything you "feel" is just oh so right. For starters, Trump only leased his brand name to the course in Puerto Rico. It is owned by Empresas Diaz, a developer in the Caribbean. As a matter of fact, the club was delinquent in the fees due to Trump for many months. He had every right to sue, force a foreclosure, and as long as he was in line first, after the land note holder, he would have been 1st to get paid. The biggest investor was the Puerto Rico Tourist, Educational, Medical and Environmental Control Facilities Financing Authority, who issued $26.4 million of tourism revenue bonds in 2011 on behalf of the club, obviously to promote high end tourism . The insanely weak Puerto Rico economy,( the entire country is on the verge of bankruptcy), is what caused the bonds to go junk. If Trump was heartless, he could have pulled his brand from the troubled club, filed his suit, and walked away. Which is what almost every other venture capitalist would have done. Instead, he sent in one of the best business management teams in the world, they came up with a game plan, and in filing the chapter 11, Trump is actually filing it AGAINST HIMSELF!!!! You stinking ninny!!!, you've been screaming about how freaking heartless he is, your the one missing something, it goes in the empty space between your ears!!! By allowing the 11, he has just forced his own company to take a loss o expected revenue. How's that for putting some skin in the game? He did that in order to give that club a chance to breathe. They get a break from the payments they wanted and agreed to. That benefited every person employed there, and by extension the street vendors, restaurants, shops, taxis, clubs, artists, tradesmen, gardeners, and every other human living in close proximity, giving them another chance to make a living. Why do you hate the people of Puerto Rico so much you want to see them starve? Oh, I get it, because they haven't illegally crossed across the border and filed for welfare yet? Anyone making a living - hate 'em, anyone dependent on government money and therefore a democrat, love 'em, huh? Anyone competent in the business world understands, Trump is one of the best. Oh wait, what about his failed casinos? Uh, been living under a rock for the last 7 years? Atlantic City is a bust. They have lost most of the top end casinos. Revel closed a 2.4 BILLION one, after not being able to close an 11 they did a 7. Why did Trump agree to give up a 25% stake? Because the entire city was going down in flames, other big corporations were eating billions, and all he had to do was give a little ownership, in exchange for the leverage he needed. I can see it now, Trump walks into the bank and says, "Excuse me, My casino is almost broke, we cant pay our bills, the entire town has lost most of their tourism, and there really isn't any actual reason this casino could ever thrive again, especially if Atlantic City goes bankrupt, but give me millions of dollars and I'll give you a share in this failing business" AND THEY DID!!! The fact he was able to convince the bank that their best route was to take over some of the responsibility of an investment that may just as easily become worth EVEN LESS, the fact they respected his ability so much they knew he was the best bet in town, is nothing short of amazing. Not only would they have lost their initial investment of millions, they would have been stuck with the liability of having to spend millions more to liquidate it. But that simple truth just went right over your indignant little head, didn't it? Oh yeah, by the way, he has since REGAINED control of not only that one, but TWO OTHERS since that 11. Do you really hate success THAT much, or are you in reality so damn jealous you just can't stand it. Of coarse he has made mistakes, but until you have personally invested lots of money into a venture, only to see people and factors beyond your control proceed to destroy it, then to have those very same people try to get their hands on not only the money you already lost, but everything you have, just because they can't or won't make any of their own, then you will never understand the need to protect each venture, from everything, and everything from everything else. You don't have just one trust, you need several. I learned that the hard way, when an employee and his wife embezzled hundreds of thousands from a previous business. Not only did I lose everything I worked so hard to build, I lost my home, and over a quarter of a million in liquid personal investment assets that were not even remotely connected or related to that business. They were actually purchased over time more than a decade before I even started the company that they stole the money from. It was the sum of my existence, and it was taken. It's a good thing the guy that did it was in jail for a long time, before getting back on my feet, I was going to put him in the ground. Ignorance is just not knowing about something, everyone is ignorant of most things, and hopefully knowledgeable about at least 1 or 2 things. It's call being a specialist. That's what you have to do these days. Pick something, learn everything you can about it, be the best you possibly can be at it, and you will succeed in life. Many specialists seek out other specialists that specialize in other things, that way they can ask the other specialist questions about something they are ignorant about, and they will no longer be ignorant about that one thing. It's how we cure ignorance. I endeavor to cure my ignorance on as many things as I can every day. The problem with that is the more I think I learn, the more I realize I will never know. However, refusing to educate yourself, denying any truth based on nothing more substantial than random emotion, is something else entirely. That's called stupidity. It's incurable. Looks like you may have an acute case.

CINDERELLA IN A BURKA....................................HOLLY SHIITE!!!!!!

Was Trump the Only Shareholder in the Corporations that filed for bankrupcty? Seems to me, the whole reason a corporation is created is to protect the shareholders personal assets from being attached in a lawsuit against the Corp. if there are other shareholders, based on OCDude's logic, all of the other shareholders should have filed personal bankruptcy too. To me, I don't think that makes sound business sense. Also, the Corp filing bankrupcty should have a Board of Directors and the Board would make the decision whether or not to file for Bankruptcy. So it wouldn't be Trump filing, but the Corporation Filing. To suggest that Trump did something under handed without having the legal facts seems ... There's a few words that go after that, whoever reads this, finish the sentence yourself. Also, if these Corps are publicly traded, they would fall under the SEC. Was Trumped investigated by the SEC or did the SEC find any wrong doing? If not, it appears to me, whatever Trump did was legal. Just my . .

Good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday and it is ALMOST the end of Ramadan... which makes me happy, because I'm excited to see this train start chugging along again! You all know my general opinion of what gets done during Ramadan, and this year was no different. After an amazing 4 months or so earlier this year, things kind of petered out around the end of May and as of the last few weeks, we've really heard nothing exciting at all. This isn't bad, in my opinion. Although we've had a bit of a lull, Iraq has proven to me in this year alone that they are "in it to win it", and I have a feeling that the lull was intentional. They most likely knew that any significant progress on the HCL immediately before Ramadan would only put a strain on them that they could not handle during Ramadan. We can be as impatient as we like, but their culture isn't going to change for us... Ramadan is what it is. And what it is, is almost over! Now we find ourselves in a little SNAFU over the timing of it. Ramadan officially ends on the evening (our morning) of Friday July 17. The official workweek for Iraq is Sunday to Thursday... so Ramadan is ending on the start of the weekend. With that in mind, I don't expect anything on Friday or Saturday, but I am very anxious to see what starts rolling out on Sunday. So on that note, I'll simply say.... GOOOOO HCL and GO RV!!!! ================ Q&A ===================== Sure they do. They don't have to pay in cash immediately, just like our banks don't carry enough cash on hand to cover all of their deposits. The banking world is a magical place where the value of money is exactly what they say it is. If you're looking to get educated on it, research these two things: Fiat Currency and Fractional Banking. That will explain it all. No Sir, I have not heard anything on it - but that doesn't surprise me. It could easily take 3, 6, 12 months or more to get a final word on that one. ISIS will be an issue until they are eradicated, which will never happen completely. At least, not with the pansy leaders we have in the world today. Regardless... ISIS is not enough of an issue to stop Iraq from manipulating their currency. I don't know all the specifics on it, so I can't speak with any authority... but if history is any indicator, it's not good and I don't like it. What does it have to do with an RV? I'm sure it will have some kind of impact at some point in the future, but probably not until after an RV is already done, which means it won't be a major factor in the actual event. Please post a new thread in OSI and I will be happy to give private feedback for the OSI members. I don't pay too much attention to Maliki anymore - he's a noisy bug, but that's all he is in the big scheme of things right now. Pat your friend on the head and tell them not to worry. This topic has been tossed around, answered, and most importantly, debunked. End of story. Cheers everyone... see ya soon, and hopefully sooner than later!

Encouraging . . . however, we've seen this sorta stuff for quite LONG time and still "nutin'"

Huh? You are convoluting the "discussion". LOL I read it all... and you actually have validated it, and my perspective! Thanks! LOL RE: "Now reread this": Why are you repeating what I've said (in my own words) and acknowledged? We agree! We all understand the differences and the choices. I'll repeat the question for a fourth time... WHY would he? What would be the specific reasons to compel that choice? In your words, no one else's... There are PLENTY of reasons for him NOT too... and that could be extremely complex in itself, as well as being based on attorney/accountant advice. I'm sure they deemed it IMPERTINENT! Otherwise, he would have done it! He did not qualify, as per that advice! LMAO I also found that last paragraph of your's.. from a Forbes article from 2011. Good article... helped put it all in better perspective. Check it out... talks about all four of his bankruptcies... And, why would he say anything was pertinent, or impertinent? That was my choice of words, concerning Trump's circumstance and choices. If you don't like the word... substitute something else... makes no difference to me! LMAO Keep reachin"!!!

I've tried respectful with you... I've guided you, prompted you, asked relevant questions, and thanked you. That's how it's done. Feel free to highlight your previous PERSONAL substance in your "discussions", as well as any respectful reciprocation. And you can avoid any presumptions by providing such substance. Ya can't just say things like, "if you knew who I really was..." LMAO NICE CHIDE, WHN!!!

Adam I Can't Personally Thank U Enough - But I've Got This Little Friend Named SandFly ...

Yes, and it stopped WW2 in its tracks and the killing of countless other souls....or would you rather be speaking Japanese or German?

Anyone ready for a fresh Trump thread? There are so many great articles... it was hard to choose! This one just spoke to me... Trump Appeal Doug Giles Thank God The Donald’s in the Presidential mix for 2016. So, why doth I thank Christ Jesus for The Donald’s presence in this next election? Well… it’s not because of the hairdo, but it’s principally because he’s a refreshing, equal opportunity offender who has perfected and joyfully given the middle finger to the media and the appropriate political hacks both on the Left and the supposed Right. Yep, what I primarily dig about Donald is he doesn’t give a shiitake mushroom about Hillarious or whomever Rove is trying to prop up and considers the likes of Karl and the Hildebeest to be slimy chunks of corn that are culpable for this abysmal America mess. Some of my Facebook "friends" have been giving me grief, asking me if I "really believe Trump could become President" with that tsk-tsk tone of typed, social-media emoticon derision; and if I would "really vote for him for president?" Would I vote for him if it boiled down to him versus Hillarious? Uh, duh. For that matter, I’d vote for Donald Trump’s turd before I would vote for that nasty, vile, corrupt-to-the-core, long-toothed, lardy hagfish otherwise known as, Hillarious Rodham Clinton. To answer the question if I know in July of 2015 if Donald will get the GOP nod and knock out Hillarious or whomever in the forthcoming general election: no... I do not know. My crystal ball ain’t that clear, Queequeg. I would have never thought that a junior state senator from Illinois who’s only accomplishment was writing two books about himself and being a community organizer for a non-profit group that was cool with giving home loans for whorehouses for underage sex-slaves from El Salvador would’ve ever gotten to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but he did. What I do know is, amidst the field of GOP pretenders and snoozers, he and Ted Cruz are the only ones that make me stop packing all my earthly crap and moving to Chile. What unmistakably comes across when I watch Donald is not only are his wife and daughter gorgeous, but he loves America and he hates those that hate us, our freedoms, our founding docs, our prosperity and our national security; and he is not nice about it. He’s not trying to be everybody’s buddy. He’s not worried if some CNN piss-ant doesn’t like his "tone". Trump understands we’re economically, militarily and culturally screwed and our day doesn’t need another politically correct weathervane but a patriotic lightening rod to lead us. I, for one, dig the fact that Trump straight up shows disgust and derision towards all of our enemies, both foreign and domestic, and his goal is not to sweet talk them but expose and hammer them like a loose board at The Property Brothers' house. A lot of whiners with boldness envy think that DT is too bombastic and arrogant. What many take for pride I take as confidence based in many years of building stonking mega-businesses; and what many take for bombast I give to a deep zeal to make America exceptional again. Win or lose, Trump will definitely shore up, embolden and weed out our GOP contenders. He will ferret the phonies from amongst us, for sure. They won’t be able to ignore him. He’s here to pick a fight with the Left and the Right. He’s not a politician. He’s not a butt-kisser. He’s not afraid of the media. He’s not afraid of HRC and he’s not afraid of The GOP; and his expertise has earned him billions and as you can tell… I’m glad he’s tossed his hat into the ring.

CNN. Broadcasting A Long Thesis By The Counselor For Economic Affairs - Prime Minister ! (by walkingstick) O.d.abdalhasin Anbuge *: Iraqi dinar exchange rate ... hole swallows foreign exchange reserves - PUBLISHED IN 07/16/2015 The exchange rate of the basic economic variables that change per day continuously in response to the forces of currency supply and demand. And the importance of the effect of the exchange rate in economic performance varies from country to country according to the country's circumstances and the type of economy and the stage through which the ladder of development and the nature of the economic structure of the country and the diversity of income and wealth sources in it, and therefore the exchange rate once be independent variables affect the dependent variables and once again be the same He changes holds in other variables variable, and there is no one to do with the deltoid causality of the exchange rate trend, I have personally I ask not to raise the dinar exchange rate since 2006 and I wish I stayed (US $ 1 = 1500) to the economy was put on the best and we have provided a reasonable level of protection the domestic product and provided funds of the general budget of the state. First: General features of the philosophy of the exchange rate in Iraq: Dialectic of cause and effect: that the exchange rate of the currency of a country, are a natural product of the strength of the country's economy and consistency of economic performance in which the input volume of domestic and foreign economic activities and outputs, and the level of internal balance (savings-investment) and external balance of the balance of payments (exports-imports), it is the power of a country's currency strength of its economy, and not vice versa, as some have imagined in Iraq, where neglect the real forces that are supposed to create values ​​and entry and accumulation and growth, and cling to the variable easier because it is under the hand (the exchange rate) and make the entire economy follower of Tzbzbath in the short term this is not true understanding. The exchange rate is authorized mirror that sees the economy in the face: If his face and Performance beautiful featured his photo in a beautiful mirror, and if the ugliness of his face and his performance was his picture ugly, either the shape ugly and beautifies all types of aggregates, it looks like lifting the Iraqi dinar exchange Bekazat feeble price fall when any storm which is called idiomatically (exchange rate inordinate), but, how much is the amount of hyperbole this, it depends on the size of the gap between the exchange rate as if it were floating dinar (fully undergoing the forces of supply and demand) and exchange rate controlled through crutches and aggregates exercised by the Central Bank of Iraq, and we can Kmokhtchin that we use to measure models Bmanoah high to portray the image of a floating dinar and measure the gap, Van was a great superiority of certain limits, there is no benefit of the Iraqi economy to uphold at the official current exchange rate set by the Central Bank (US $ 1 = 1166 Dinar ) We must move to a higher level reduces the negative effects of hyperbole price of the dinar exchange and creates positive effects support the performance of the Iraqi economy and maintain its foreign exchange reserves of continuity Alastnsvav under the weight of what fosters increased reserve less than what spent to maintain the (current dinar exchange rate) from the reserve. This equation is the other must be observed with standard size hyperbole that we talked about earlier. What are the local currency coverings: Then what is supposed to the dinar exchange rate against foreign currencies strength, lids no longer as it was it the other has changed, no longer gold and foreign exchange from the world's leading currency is the basis for the cover of local currencies in developing and underdeveloped countries, but Many indicators related to the price of a country's currency exchange, including the economic performance in the supply side appeared, and I mean the gross domestic product in terms of size first, and where the sources generated Secondly, as well as internal balance (the volume of savings and the volume of investment) and external balance of the balance of payments (the volume of exports and the volume of imports ) and rates of movement of capital in and out of the country, and that the size of confidence in the economy and rates of growth and governance performance and credit rating of the country and other indicators embodied nutshell wide acceptance of the currency of the country in the coverage of trading commodity not to mention that that trust promotes the coin function as a store of value and is present to keep the wealth among institutions and individuals, and it is no longer foreign exchange reserves weighting the largest in determining the exchange rate if the currency floated because this reserve in the absence of other indicators of the performance of the firm Economic stable, lead to reserve depletion, which continues to continued support weak currency you want to adapt and take a natural value-driven correction exercised by supply and demand, but the administrative decisions of the Central Bank and operations practiced by the auction and a mix of social and political pressures and desires and special interests in the short-term ahead of the interests of the Iraqi economy in the long term and continue to work as opposed to development and reconstruction. For example, the Jordanian dinar stable long ago, why?: It has to do with the sources of gross domestic product (GDP) from where it comes ?, Do you come from a dominant source as is the case in Iraq, where oil dominates the contribution of up to 80% of gross domestic product (GDP), for example, or He comes from a variety of activities, whether sector-born Rei, this sector which are added values ​​of the elements of production involved in it are few and dominated the earth return (rent). As is the case with oil, which does not contribute to the work, but something very simple and there is a limited contribution to the capital also compared to other sectors, and therefore the larger the yield is (a godsend) largesse of the earth without Entrust ourselves to make any manufacturing operations doubled from the multiplier values ​​and raise the price the market for several times, or is sold as a raw material, and when those heavenly gift be grown on the activity of the firm be subject to fluctuations in the global market and have the effect of supporting force the currency exchange rate and frail, let alone whether those crude exports total, staying in dollars, they are then, dollars out of Earth, fit together and integrated in its external economy than with the domestic economy, and the biggest problem it fully in the government's pockets, and that's where government spending is mostly (irrational) It is difficult to adjust the rationality standards which, the pumping of dollars in economic body not be through the arteries correct and veins necessarily, it may be a very small vein is injected with large amounts of foreign exchange because Injector (the government) is not the same needy (the economy) may be large veins need a large injection, but it is not injected into the only thing very little, in front of this picture will get confused The relationship between the presence of dollars on the one hand and the citizen real absorbed on the other hand, Valachtnaqat operate our crisis hurt the poor and surpluses caused us escape of dollars of income cycle to return to the outside, either because they are washed because they are from suspicious sources, or they are looking for investment opportunities after a failed environment crisis Local investment absorbed, or is it that the generation of the gross domestic product (GDP) came from multiple, balanced and real sources stemming from the interaction of the five factors of production (labor, capital, land, organization, technology), and if they balanced the needs of the economic activities of foreign exchange directly proportional compatible with outputs Those activities of contributions to GDP and thus their contribution to the creation of the rights of others a large section of them resident in foreign currency being directed for export, so the Jordanian dinar, for example, stable over a long period of time, not because the Central Bank of Jordan adept at adjusting the dinar exchange, never price, but The Jordanian dinar is the product of equations produce real and spending both on the supply side or the demand side, because the requirement comes from the activity itself based on market forces and private sector interests, and output is the output of trying to satisfy the market and profitable for the private sector, nothing is imported in order to tamper corrupt to conclude recoverable contracts and get commissions, this attitude of the government sector and not the attitude of the private sector, because the government in the narrowest economic episodes in Jordan and in the wider economic episodes in Iraq gets the difference, Valdhabt Jordanian dinars strong real market derived from real imports and real exports and imports paid for from the pockets of those who need and exports enters revenue from foreign exchange for the pockets of exporters and they are not the government, and the government, but the collection of levies to finance their activities, either in Iraq, the picture is upside down because all the exports are almost government revenue in the government's pockets and the structure of imports distorted because it is a real driven forces are not (Strong Market) and the actual need but is a strong personal use administrative corruption and administrative drawbacks and the bribes and others. Therefore, the Central Bank of Jordan does not need a lot of work to keep the exchange Jordanian dinar stable price because the product of the real power in the market, while the Iraqi dinar exchange rate is not the product of the real forces of the market economy, but rather the result of administrative procedures (sound was or wrong) for government employees and the Central Bank, so The Jordanian dinar exchange rate variable belonging to the forces of the Jordanian economy, while the Iraqi dinar exchange rate has become a variable (independent) and intended to be used to make the Iraqi economy affiliate, which is another form of (Iraqi economy upside down) that we have mentioned in a previous article. Rentier economy eats itself: dependence on crude oil create our people lazy worshiped public office even crumbs salaries and run away from the private sector, discharger of any spirit of initiative, not fluent in market risk management, if he is forced forced to work in the private sector is a gambler than an investor , seize the opportunities offered by a government employee and they are many in order to manipulate, not thinking to grasp the opportunities profitable and economically viable, not tired mind the economic and financial accounts, which he calls a complicated and does not accept the use of consultants specialists to avoid payment to them without realizing that it could lose a lot, live mentality totals it handles peddlers no matter how great his fortune, does not pay for the time of interest in the field of deep-rooted and the sustainability of its realization, but Aosrh time only in a very short duration and to reap quick profits, has no affiliation to the activity and sector production is ready to leave at any moment towards other activity more tempting in the field a quick profit derived from manipulation, and above all longs for government action when it had the chance, and the government sector flabby tired arranged Dhalth content at the end of the month (whether produced or not produced) and this major catastrophe, Kafr El-economic standards, but those who work carefully and perseverance it that have arrows from Alvargin who do not speak only problems, hypocrisy, ingratiating and corruption, and so statistics indicate that the government employee of the Iraqi work under slouch this sector does not exceed (19 minutes of work a day), and all that work that we sell crude oil, which is my most volatile and a decline in markets, years ago, the exchange in the global markets equation (price 2 barrels of oil = 1 ton of wheat) and today with the decline in the price of the issue and the escalation of the price of what we import has become (the price of 11 barrels of oil = 1 ton of wheat) and we still neglect the obstacles to the production of wheat and Nzll difficulties before the export of crude oil , and this is one example of the thousands of examples in the real productive sectors on the line compass that we walk on them, and we still we capture ourselves and we capture our currency for raw dollars that come out of the earth and all its volatility and disruption in the overall national accounts and economic for our indicators, in front of these data we want to remain clinging virginity false to the price of the dinar exchange, and by extension remain Izr general ideas without specialists ideas, and live the illusion that the strength of our economy from the power of our currency, and we have examples do not learn from them, we have Russia when he was economy of the siege and the problems was the priority has to maintain the rhythm of the sound economic performance, and for him without simply for the virginity of the ruble exchange rate, public say collapsed Russian economy because the ruble collapsed, and you pay the Russians to protect their economy from collapse by reducing the ruble exchange rate, it then means the treatment and is not a disease, is also believed theorists (upside down), and the same thing I did the Islamic Republic of Iran , it was faced with the most severe types of blockade and economic war and turned the equation and make its economy depends on the self and grow their productive sectors quickly, but had to make an offering of it, which is giving up virginity Iranian Altoman, until he became at a very low against foreign currencies, but this offering prevent the real Iranian economy of collapse and continued demand for the product until the Iranian occupied large areas of neighboring countries markets. Note my brothers, if we produce (tons of wheat instead of 11 barrels of oil) and produce what we wear and what we build and what we ride and use instead of staying on oil, we gain another positive factor is the price difference, we gain is derived real stability of the production of real creative sectors values ​​added rely indicators calculation supports the stability of the value of the dinar and reduces its dependence on fluctuations of oil markets and oil revenue for the government and method of disposition, and much closer because the real powers in support of the stability of the Iraqi dinar to be similar to supporting the stability of the Jordanian dinar to that. Second, the damage associated with the price inordinate exchange: When the dinar exchange rate is not a real rose in previous years upped the auction conducted by the central bank to leave many negative effects on the economy, including: 1. Low oil revenues resident dinar: At the time disputed ministries and provincial allocations to prevail and the recession in the economy, we note that the difference in oil revenues (JD) as a result of raising the dinar exchange rate of 1500 dinars for $ 1 to 1166 dinars for $ 1 in the budgets of the (2007-2013) as in the table below , and the loss of more than 161 trillion dinars, the equivalent of now at the official rate of the dollar more than $ 138 billion, contributed to the widening deficit in public budgets, and had been injected into the economy through an auction currency - quickly went out again - to achieve the goal of raising Exchange Rate dinar, without being aware that this goal originally wrong and not a positive impact on the overall economy. 2. raising the dinar exchange rate did not stop the inflation phenomenon: May be reduced headstrong inflation, but he did not stop for the phenomenon, why ?, because inflation in Iraq real often and not in cash, as demonstrated several studies we have had, that inflation sources come from the driving factors of cost and private cost to provide security and the cost of fuel, energy and cost infrastructure, production, transportation, and probably very few of them Mtota of the increase in the money supply, the sense is paid shocked view and shock the display part does not mean Shehta, but the high cost of production, may be part of it drawn towards the top demand, but the demand is saturated keeps deprived society and prevent him of development and where we went out of the failure of 40-year-old gap and there is a great demand deferred supposed to seek to saturated not suppressed again, so you do not raise the dinar exchange rate importance in reducing inflation rates as long as the forces of supply is still unable to overcome the crises in various sectors, and the forces of demand irrational mostly driven by spending government irrational, where most of the private sector spending indirectly generated, government spending, the fact that the private sector works contractor with the government often will move an important part of the deformation government demand to deformation and ducts private demand impact derived from corruption and therefore it stayed the dinar exchange rate is improving and inflation increasing at the same Alatjah.kma in the figure below, where we pay less dinars to the dollar (exchange rate improvement) At the same time dinars more for the same goods and services: 3. dollar smuggling from Iraq: The cheap dollar compared to what it is in neighboring countries and the world leads to the prevalence of smuggling cases in search of a price shift Supreme like looking for a cheap commodity demand top price of saturation. This forms Mtota from the fact that the central bank Magali in raising the Iraqi dinar exchange rate against the dollar under the pretext of supporting economic stability, which is the other did not materialize, because the instability Mtota of factors other real related to production and employment, investment, income generation and cost and added values ​​rather is derived from monetary factors task, it is not able to variable exchange rate that addresses the structural imbalance, so it was bet on the stability in the exchange rate alone does not lead to the development will not lead to development, it was a decade of lost unfortunately development, because development is to break the monotony and stability and create a strong payments in the side of the process real, to be the cause of creating a sustainable stability in the future, and it was the central bank that is the power of the real economy is set for the value of its currency floating, not improve the image of the economy through freehand value coin administrative Bekazat flimsy may swallow up foreign exchange reserves without being able to create stability, and smuggling This has led to increased demand for the Iraqi dollar from neighboring countries, and will not be able to every police methods of control over it, but this is possible through prudent monetary policy, and the dollars that do not run away for speculation and selling price up, they run away in search of better opportunities for investment because the structural imbalance and poor business environment and corruption, reflected in the growing costs makes less profit opportunities. 4. strengthening the economy of the phenomenon of rent-seeking: The lifting of the dinar exchange rate works as opposed to protectionist measures required to protect the local product to compete with goods of similar imported services, which means that the exchange rate inordinate provides a margin of protection for foreign product to compete with local product, if any, which we are working upside down counter to the interests of our economy, and so will prices of imported goods cheap dollar looks pricey Iraqi consumers and competition, while prices of exported goods look expensive for foreign consumers and competition, thereby enhancing the imbalance in the structure of exports where oil remains only dominant, as well as enhance the disruption of the structure of imports only consumer favor, after a reluctant local product production to its inability to compete with foreign final product will not be need to import capital goods (capital) economy is occurring among the largest financier about Bria oil consumption. Also, content import to the size of the total demand in the Iraqi economy is high mainly, which increases the leakage in the income cycle because the income generates mostly from oil, where accounts for almost 80% of GDP is spent mostly abroad for the purposes of import as supplemented by income cycle abroad, This is too late more with the lifting of the dinar exchange rate procedures, some might say, where the product of the Iraqi order to encourage him to export ?, or say let's import cheap goods and consume as long as we do not have the production, this argument for some people, unfortunately, is the case for retaining the comfortable pillow of the proceeds of oil and hibernate Long Iraqi economy (Sleeping economy), but see enough sleep in a large hospital named Iraq eat the food and water the medicine versus crude oil pipeline extending to the outside, and why? Iraq only has to sleep and lag all other oil countries girl productivity rules replace oil depleted? . 5. deepening of the phenomenon of dollarization: When floating the Iraqi dinar with all currencies, except the dollar as associated with equations calculation by evaluating the revenue in the budget, and associated with him again at the central bank auction without the rest of the currencies, this companionship continuing with the dollar, both toward the rise or fall of the price of the dinar exchange They indicate the presence of (inherent) between the two currencies and not (floating relationship) which enshrines the phenomenon of dollarization, no one claims to be raising the price of the dinar is facing excessive dollarization, because dollarization achieved by sticking both directions as it sounds. Third, it raised associated with the decline in the dinar exchange rate: 1. High inflation: Will get a rise in inflation rates with the significant decline in the dinar exchange rate, especially in the short term due to declining purchasing power of the dinar, this effect side will have an impact on the social side slipped people's living standards especially from people with limited income (craftsmen) and those with fixed incomes (staff state), and after the passage of the economic adjustments desired associated period for this procedure reform and the absence of some or all of the adverse exchange rate overvalued the effects mentioned above, start positive to emerge effects, length or palace of this period it depends on the availability of complementary factors other and the flexibility of the production system in the country , we mean effects positive is an improvement in the competitiveness of the domestic product after the demise of margin protection for foreign product that was provided by the exchange rate overvalued it, and the increasing government's ability to spend on infrastructure that reduce production costs, which will be followed by increased production and operation and increase access of distributed elements production form in which it is facing the negative effects of inflation, where regain real incomes recover and may improve more than the previous, and when these adaptations work be inflation (inflation development) is especially bad consequences in a country that seeks development. Praised effects of development of inflation will re-balance for people with limited income in the private sector, they will sell their products competitively and higher prices, however, aggrieved at the micro level remains are the owners of fixed inflexible entry (state officials), but at the macro level, the economy will correct itself, where become over time a government job repellent and the private sector an attractive, a reformist demand does not differ by two, and when that happens we put laws and regulations protect workers in the private sector, by contrast, put the rate of increase in staff salaries is directly proportional to the rate of inflation, after that tend privileges of the other state employees which tarnished the labor market and in particular the exclusive right to receive a piece of land and the exclusive right to obtain a guaranteed salary and other loans. 2. Escape phenomenon of enlightened father: The phenomenon of escape from the currency existed in the period of the economic blockade and got with the Iraqi dinar when the dinar fall day against the dollar and loses part of its purchasing power because of hyperinflation, and people were fleeing from the dinar towards fixed assets, gold or foreign currencies stable (fixed) as dollar, the beneficiary Escape from the phenomenon of the dinar was working abroad who receive wages and revenue in dollars while purchases are in Iraq Dinars and were able to purchase real estate assets as a result of the high dollar exchange rate against the dinar. He got the contrary after 2003, when the dollar falls against the dinar is not an expression of the real side growth in the economy, but upped (Baekaz) by monetary policy, and became the beneficiary of this phenomenon are working in Iraq and obtaining their wages and their returns in dinars, but that their families resident abroad and economic activities List abroad are buying assets, real estate and to accumulate dollar balances abroad taking advantage of the exchange raised forcibly dinar rate (rather than floated), where they get more dollars Bdnanar less, and most of the beneficiaries of this phenomenon engaged in service and commercial fast work of yield and are reluctant for access to productive areas Slow-yield and high-risk and thus be in their interest to promote the development rentier economy and the development of consumer behavior without the development of productive behavior in Iraq. If we abandon extremism in the dinar exchange rate and made floating big up and over the two bounds of relative stability within the limits of the exchange rate of the lowest of the dinar, may go back to the phenomenon of escape from the dinar, meaning that the dinar loses part of his job as a store of value, but it may reclaim after investigation relative stability, even after a period of up to a minimum, despite the fact that the International Monetary Fund could be convinced to float the dinar, while maintaining a certain level of stability in the value of the currency orbit, but the Central Bank of Iraq was more royalist than the King in the previous policy. Finally, if we compare the negative exchange rate overvalued in, and the effects of the forecast as relics if we retreat with him, we will find it total, the effects of reform desirable rebalance of the Iraqi economy and save him from the clutches of the imbalance, even if some medicine bitter and some a troublesome side effects, but it treatment leads to healing, then what is the alternative for non-death treatment, we will stay clinging to an error at the price of high-dinar exchange are fake laugh it on ourselves, in order to maintain the level we have to pumping more more dollars at the auction, in the equation dip our revenue dollar, we'll be witnesses on the foreign exchange reserves at the central bank swallows by the black hole (the exchange rate) to become without the required level of cover and we can not develop other wrap indicators then we are facing a real crisis, and we have to then start the same reform measures, so why do not we are embarking upon We reserve Manfezon, before the problem is compounded, and impossible solutions.

Long read...just push a m*@!# F'n button

LOL Thug, Reminds me of Our graduating high school class 1982 at Disneyland. Tabs of Goofey LSD and Mr toads wild ride over and over and over.

Well, then let me see if I can figure it out all by myself. Credit rating..Iraq already has one..BB..Last updated on 7/14/2013..Shortly after that update Iraq shelved it's plan to issue bonds. They might get a better rating this time around but there's no guarantee. Sovereignty...Iraq was declared sovereign by the UN on 6/30/2004..it actually happened on 6/28.. International acceptance..Iraq issued international bonds back in 2006 with a maturity date of 2028. If you're referring to the World Bank and the IMF, it's noteworthy that Iraq is a founding member of both organizations dating back to June 1945 and has been borrowing from both groups since the ouster of Saddam. If you're referring to the statement about help from the U.S./Japan that fund was started back in 2004 and Iraq has used it on numerous occasions. 1-1...I could use some help on the numbers but a popular number for IQD in existence is 30 trillion..no way of knowing how accurate that may be but in arguendo a 1-1 rv would mean Iraq's currency would be worth 30 trillion dollars..A good exercise might be to research how much money exists in the entire world and make your own conclusion. I like Adam's 10 cent prediction. The point is that none of this is new and imo has no bearing on a potential RV.

Good one chess! LOL

Wtf ? Glad To See That U Made It Out Of The LOPster Tank ! Did El Chapo Build U A Tunnel ?

Do ya THINK they're figuring out how to spend some DISPOSABLE INCOME? HMM...

I always liked Sinbad. Good clean Humor Thanks

I say RV this baby and I will be there tomorrow!

This statement in itself is looking through history with today standards. Its ludicrous and ignorant. This statement is why soldiers on todays battlefields have their hands tied and the rules of engagement dictated by politicians. Yes the bombing of the Japanese cities were horrendous but the options at the time would have destroyed far more. You call one of the greatest generation psychopathic. Thats like calling all who fight terrorists psychopathic. Kamakazi were yesterday's suicide bombers only against military targets. POWs in Japanese encampments were almost comparable to that of Civil War era POW camps but only three degrees worse. The amount of man power to take the islands of Japan the destruction of those islands and cultural losses would have been immense not only to Japan but to the world as well. You call is psychopathic, war is evil and it was the lesser of two evils. America dropped leaflets before it dropped those bombs. Japan had a choice. They chose wrong and suffered the consequences. To chide the decision of a war weary nation 70 some odd years after the fact is revisionist history which leads to ignorance. Remember America did not pick a fight with Japan. Japan bombed us on a Sunday morning killing innocent civilians, men, women and children. Or did you somehow forget that. War is hell. You want war, prepare to suffer the consequences of your actions. Since the advent of dropping the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, politicians have had more control over the battlefields and look where that has gotten us. Our enemy uses our ROE against us and our soldiers die because of it.

....speaking of finance....wonder what she'd look like naked??.............................

more of the same . . . nothing to see here . . . move along, move along

WHY? Why do I "chide" you (standard dictionary definition!)? Lol! Let's see... You're a... Laughably arrogant Intellectually dishonest Boring Egotistical Rude Appallingly disrespectful Less than friendly Abhorrent Hostile Obnoxious Lamebrained Easily offended In other words... It's FUN! Jax will respectfully debate with you but I don't waste my time or verbal niceties on you because you're a (see above)! I guess you just can't intellectually defend the Solyndra fiasco nor can you see the hypocrisy of your incessant argument against Trump's LEGAL financial dealings. (Just wanted you to know that I noticed! ). And your never-ending supply of weak deflections, thin-skinned responses and non sequitur arguments bores me. Bankruptcy, celebrity social gatherings and insignificant campaign contributions... boring! Gimme Trumpin'! What else ya got? I mean really... is that ^^^ the best you can do? If you would like to discuss Trump's allure to we who love his message (the subject of the OP) then... by all means, let's try again. Since Trump announced his campaign, he's said he can solve the illegal immigration problems and made some bold statements like "I'm gonna build a fence and make Mexico pay for it!". What has he said that is untrue? Why is he wrong?

So...you think your fast? Well then.... Ladies...my eyes are down here!!!

Awesome chide DM! I tried... I didn't realize the troll aspect, makes sense now. Glad you weighed in with educated reasoning and real life wisdom!

Too much blah blah blah. Could you please post just the interesting press release?

THANKS ADAM , AND YOU TOO CLOWN YALL THE BEST

TOO LONG

It sounds like he gave value for value, stocks for bonds. How is that a bad deal for the bondholders? He didn"t have to do that... .

I saw that when it aired. It was funny. But why do you have to add the back handed insult...(turn off the polisher)? Are you incapable of just talking?

Perhaps we can bridge the gap with some humor Turn off your polisher and laugh, OCD! WARNING! This Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump is UNCUT... as filthy as it is hilarious! Do not watch it if you are easily offended by language. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_v7XVZwCGVg

"Trump is a private businessman first... and now a politician. His previous associations, donations and investments were all business-motivated, hence the variety of disbursement. Nothing surprising, and very transparent!" Exactely, he even mentioned it on TV the other day. He gets things done and fast!

If you had posted those (post 78,79) in post 76 this exchange would not have taken place. I just want people that make definitive statements to back them up if possible.

Thanks Adam. SUPPORT THE TROOPS !

Simply looking for your substance and accountability. Still none yet... just deflection. Whining is not substantive! LMAO

You’re not fooling anyone with your phony condescension. Can you talk about the substance or not? It’s really awkward when you go all Transgender on us. You can’t play the “I didn’t know he was a guy” card either. Be honest… you identify as a female, don’t you? Not judging, girl… in fact, do I have a product for you… ya know, for after the transition… First Tampon For Transgender Women To Hit Shelves Next Month A small southern California company which produces “earth-friendly” feminine hygiene products has released the first tampon for post-op transgender women. The Sappho-Luxe company has released a product dubbed “Fem-Flo” earlier this week amid media attention surrounding Caitlin Jenner’s coming out as a trans-woman. Company founder, Cheryl Goldsmith, said about the product’s timing, “It certainly was a interesting coincidence, but not intentional. The additional exposure does not hurt, and regardless of the timing, we feel as if our product will be well received amongst the trans community. We are hoping to bring each trans-woman closer to the full female experience and diminish body dysmorphia triggers altogether.” The product comes in 3 designs. “Fem-Flo Petite” is for the trans-woman who is still working to achieve maximum dilation, yet still wants to produce menses. “Fem-Flo Intermediate” provides dilation and an average amount of menstruation. And last, but not least, the “Fem-Flo Lush” for the trans-woman who wishes to enjoy “heavy” menstruation. “Our product is designed to give post-op trans-gender women the full-spectrum experience of menstruation. You don’t have to be deprived of the beautiful and womanly occurrence of menstruation merely because you were born without uterus. The Fem-Flo’s cotton core contains a small, vegetable-based capsule which upon reaching body temperature releases the “menses” contained within. It also aids in keeping the post-op canal conditioned and dilated after surgery and beyond.” Fem-Flo tampons will come in boxes of 25 and cost around $19.99 per box. Sappho-Luxe will begin shipping their product to major grocery stores nationwide next month.

No... we're all waiting for YOUR own personal analysis... not just name calling and referring us to articles that you refuse to interpret. When we freely interpret, you just deflect... as evidenced with your response to my own analysis above, which is valid. What is your counter to my perspective... other than you think Trump is a clown. That's childish. WE have no idea of what you're substance is. Continue the cowardly deflection OC. Your "context" has no intellectual substance... it's been nothing more than smear, talking points and other people's facts. You just did it again... "Trump is a diversion". Tell us why... in your own words. I look forward to your contextual perspective... take your time. Thanks again!

God please make things right , we have had enough. Hear our cries oh Lord.

Maybe they're letting him choose his own cell??

Nice dodge... here's a hip-check for ya... Diversion is a form of surrender primarily used when you can't defend your position with honesty. Churn on that genius! Good night

Thanks for hijacking my lovely Trump thread with your uninformed talk of bankruptcy, OCD. It's obvious that you've never owned a business. I was hoping Jax would be right and there would be no needles but you've decided AGAIN to be a p****. Oh well, as long as we're on the subject, let's talk about a REAL EPIC FAILURE... Solyndra.Under Chapter 11, a company will reorganize its business as it attempts to offload debt and return to profitability. Under Chapter 7, a company goes out of business entirely and sells of (or "liquidates") its remaining assets, using the proceeds to pay back debts to investors as well as creditors. You should really Take the time to read more... http://bankruptcy.findlaw.com/chapter-13/corporate-bankruptcy-what-every-investor-should-know.html Of the many (hundreds?) of businesses Trump has owned and only a few couldn't be made profitable even under chapter 11? It sounds to me like his investors recouped some of their investment. It's called taking risk. Unlike Solyndra... that glorious green company that was going to make fossil fuels obsolete who took federal government loan money (tax payer money) and ran it into the ground so bad in two years, they should have just filed chapter 7! On September 1, 2011, the company ceased all business activity, filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and laid off all employees, costing taxpayers over $500 million. The company was also sued by employees who were abruptly laid off. On September 8, 2011, Solyndra was raided by the FBI investigating the company. Solyndra received a $536 million U.S. Energy Department loan guarantee, the first recipient of a loan guarantee under President Barack Obama's economic stimulus program, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Additionally, Solyndra received a $25.1 million tax break from California's Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority. Following the bankruptcy, the government was expected to recoup $27 million under the Solyndra restructuring plan, but no money was ever recovered. Read more... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra The govt should not pick winners and losers... let the market decide. But, I'm sure that's just fine with you though since it had the blessing of obummer, your Lord and messiah

Don't worry, my friend. Thanks to Obama a lot more are gonna get used now.

So you obviously have no idea what chapter 11 is about. It is an extremely important and vital tool, 100% legal, and the ONLY way to put off the pack of lender hounds wildly baying at your door, trying to heartlessly and ignorantly rip you to pieces. Not only that, it is far and above the most intelligent way to reduce overhead in order to be able to reinvest overhead while building. Trump is only managing the course, it is obviously a bad economy out there, and his managers are doing everything within their power to make the place turn a profit for the owners. If Trump was trying to "cheat" he would have had them do a chapter 7, a full discharge. In a chapter 11 reorganization, they have 2 years of reduced payments to service the loans, after which they can either do a 7 or power out of the 11 by renegotiating the loans. Every creditor has to split a set monthly amount during the 2 year wait. You really should have a freaking clue what your talking about before you go trying to smear people. By the way, did you know the USA has been in Admiralty bankruptcy 3 times? It's fine you don't like him, but you should refrain from talking out the side of your neck.
