So now it is all up to the Kurds; lets hope they make up their mind soon! Go RV!!

Don't feel to badly, Mr. P: My daughter has been receiving stuff from AARP since she was 16!

Thanks for sharing the information. Reinforcement of our decision to invest in IQD is always appreciated.

With all due respect, Bush only vetoed 12 bills, not 'everything'. He had the fewest vetos of any president in history.

Thanks! I have been looking for information like this since I got into this investment! We will all need this in the next few days! (GO RV!!!!!)

Welcome! Glad to have you on board!

Qman: My daughter suggested "Terminator." Mine is more obscure: Thermopylae, (the Gates of Fire) where Leonides made the stand with the 300. Go RV!

IMF is the International Monetary Fund, GOI is, as you surmised the Govt of Iraq; WTO is the World Trade Organization.

Don't worry, Prim. The fact that you are willing to take the risk and have the vision to recognize the potential makes you a winner already. When it comes in at 2+ that will make you a successful investor!

That would be "People are Crazy" by Billy Currington, one of my current favorites!

Sorry, but many foriegn math systems use a period rahter than a comma; where we write 18,000, they write 18.000; looks like we're still waiting.

For what it is worth, there are six countries in GCC: Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and the U.A.E. The first four participate in a 'Monetary union', the last two (Oman and UAE) have opted out of the monetary union. The rough average value of the four countries currencies is $1.85, with Kuwait being $3.85, Bahrain $2.95, and SA and Qatar currencies both valued at $0.30. I got the currencie values from BOA and the rest of the info from Wikepedia, though the info should be taken with a large grain of salt. Not all the information there is as reliable as news from Iraq! Go RV!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperation_Council_for_the_Arab_States_of_the_Gulf

My guess is that they would, at least initially, want a higher rate; SA doesn't have th debt load that Iraq does. Iraq could be facing a Greece style crisis if they don't reduce their debt, and a lower exchange rate won't help them. There will still be a market for as much oil as they can produce.

If I remember correctly, the disqualified candidates would be replaced by members of the same party; the seat count would therefor remain the same, even if the faces change.
