Popular Post camerascott Posted July 17, 2010 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I would like to first apologize for not having made it into the DS or DV chat room rooms in the past days. It turns out that a neighbor cut our Internet line and well, I’ve not had access for days now. Lovely, eh? LOL! Well, the line has been repaired but th!e Internet is extremely slow! So, I’ve chosen to make a simple post detailing what I was going to say in chat today. A lot has taken place over the past days and I’ve tried my best to catch up on all the news coming out of Iraq. It appears that the political arena is getting a bit of a shake down! This is wonderful for us, in my opinion, as well as the Iraqi people. Many of you know little history of the Iraqi war. When Maliki took office he wasn’t the United States leading man, however we had to appease certain demographics in order to deter the civil war that broke out at that time. Allowing Maliki into his position was a concession and obviously a rather bad one. A little while back it was written that Maliki was involved in the attempt to destroy contracts to cover up his corruption and in the past days it has been revealed that there was another bombing against the CBI… It leads one to wonder….. Economic experts from within Iraq as well as foreign economic advisors in place by the United Nations have been going over the Iraqi economic policies with a fine toothcomb in the past weeks. Many have seen the recent article complaining about the lack of growth of the IQD. The CBI implemented a mechanism geared to raise the value of the Iraqi Dinar in stages, yet they haven’t went to the final stage of allowing it to float against the global market, thus creating it to level off at its current rate. Much of this is assumed to be the fault of the old administration, and it would be extremely difficult to argue against the theory seeming how Maliki is covered in corruption. A few weeks ago the Queen of England gave a speech to the United Nations. The speech itself wasn’t of any importance, however her making an appearance for the first time since 1956 has huge implications as to what else took place behind closed doors given the current state of the European Unions current economic stance. I mentioned to few at the time that her appearance was odd and certainly spoke volumes. Then a few days ago the Pope actually sends a message for Iraq to form a government. The Vatican doesn’t speak unless it has a personal relationship with the situation. If you follow global politics you will rightly understand just how great these two occurrences are to our investment. I was rather stunned when I saw that the Pope followed the Queen on this one and I personally think that the Queen went to see about her investment, so to speak. This may seem far-fetched, however it isn’t. I simply just don’t have the time to explain the details and history leading up to my method in thinking this. Iraq is coming upon a deadline. I will be floored if it extends past the deadline, however anything is possible and they’ve already shown a disregard for their Constitution. It is still my belief that Allawi will form the government, as I have stated all along. I do believe we are watching history unfold before our eyes, and at the same time they are taking forever to write their history. We’ve been on the edge of the RV for months and nearly a year come this November. I certainly pray it doesn’t see November’s date and according to what I’m hearing I believe we will see it before then, but we never know what will happen with Iraq next. What we do know is that the Iraqi government is no longer in absolute control of their outcome. The UN/IMF has stepped in and have taken control back. Now we must see just how soon they will make this happen. 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unitedrich Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Same question: Who is groovgal and what is her status in this thing? Why does she have information that no other would have? Thanks FM, Good question. I do remember reading or hearing in chat a while back that Sonny1 said she is one of the smartest supposed gurus out there. Also, that she is involved or has some sort of contacts in the treasury dept. I believe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Wait, June 15th. Well thanks for the help, but I've been in this long enough to not be bothered by whether or not someone likes or dislikes what I have to say. Its a Forum, in my mind that means, say what you want. People are getting far too carried away with the bashing and picking on people just for posting their thoughts. Even funnier when people bash in the Rumor section. Either way, I stopped coming on for a few months around mid April and just starting coming back on recently and that is new. But...I have been educated. Now, can people get back to talking about DV and IQD and stop playing kindergarten? For heavens sake, that doesn't start for another couple of weeks, at least in Georgia! I don't go to other sites, as it seems you do, so maybe you know a little more than someone who just comes to DV to read up and make up her own mind. Hope you feel better! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me. 3 kids, a dog, a hubby that sometimes reminds me of kids, it takes alot... lol I was talking about all the sudden the little negative thingys from nowhere..

Maynard57 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Groovegirl, Thanks so very very much for the post. The Pope Queen tag team is something I just didn't think about enough. I talked to my old college professor on this, for what little time he had, and he said make an appointment, grasshopper, because I will one day be teaching a course in what is going on. God I wish I were smarter. Maynard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on now. And remember that there are those of us who spend plenty of time on here and have a pretty good idea who is here, reading what, and what their comments are. That is what lurkers do.. and yes, I would know..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerngal Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Okay, inmemoryofrob, hit a wrong button....so what? It's easy enough to do. She's got 3 kids, a husband (which makes it 4 kids), a dog and work. Sounds like it was an honest mistake to me. For those of you who have not been around for a while, Adam redid the website a few months ago and it is very different from the old site. I still have a hard time trying to figure out which button to hit. If you were on the old site I think you would know what I am talking about. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
