Steve did an amazing job on his research. We are very lucky to be privy to his kindness. Dinosaur

GW also stated the US public would have the same rights as the Iraqi. Now I am pretty sure with the banking system the way it is there they would not be forcing their people to cash in 7 days. More deep breaths.

Thank you Phoenix. I do respect your intel however I will need some time to digest this intel. So your worst case scenario is Dec. 25 we receive an RV. Our banks are closed that day and the next. We would technically have 5 banking days if the RV happened Dec. 25 as our banks would be closed the sat and sunday. That leaves 27,28,29,30,31. Ouch. 5 days to cash in. That is pretty slick Shabbibi. to screw the West. I dont even know about the east banks on this. Now we have 500,000-600,000 people storming the banks all over the USA and Canada over this last week of the year panicked they are not going to get their Dinar cashed. Could you imagine not being able to get an appointment with Ali or your bank and Jan.1 your Dinar is back to toilet paper? I just can't see this happening however anything is possible with Iraq. I agree to have a plan. Talk to my accountant no problem. Cash in at the bank when RV comes Ok. Tough to have a plan implemented if you don't have time to get to your bank to cash in. I think I need to throw up. I can see what you are saying about warning everyone to be ready but really 5 days for 500,000 people? 100,000 a day cashing in. Remember everyone we are the minority dust speck 1% who own Dinar. I just cant see it happening the more I think about it. DONT PANIC AND DONT LET THIS UNPROVEN ITEL DESTROY YOUR HOLIDAY. As Phoenix stated it is unproven intel. Breathe. I am trying to. Phoenix is just putting it out there to cover your butt and have a plan but be aware. Happy Thanksgiving all. Dinosaur.

Exactly what I was thinking. I love how it states the budget is approved and then we see in the next line that we still have to have it approved in its final form. So if it needs to still be approved in its final form then it is really not approved as of yet is it? The preliminary draft is approved to be submitted for final approval which is great progress even if it is misleading. Why would it need final approval..... because it needs the rv rate.....? I believe we shall soon see. Dinosaur

Chin up people Keep a stiff upper lip This waiting shall soon pass Imagine living in Iraq waiting for 7 yrs. for an RV. Now go do some random act of kindness Stop thinking and listening to the negative Smile and look around you and remember these days These days you spent waiting instead of living. The RV is coming this year and we are the fortunate few in the world who know it. Enjoy the day and Happy Thanksgiving! Dinosaur

Glad you are back Jo. Dinosaur.

HI Ed: Your post makes "sense" and I agree with your post. The frustrating part is even though there is no money left to pay even the poor widows,and one would believe this should be motivation enough to form the govt quickly, Maliki has 30 days to get its cabinet together which makes me nervous. Does he need 30 days? Why would he need 30 days? I hope he does not need 30 days. Could be a smoke screen to make it look like they are a long way off forming but if it is why upset the people further with delays and risk civil uprising? I believe the Iraqi people have been more than patient and this is a pressure cooker waiting to blow. It is quite a balancing act the Iraq govt is playing. Maybe Maliki is really having issues putting his cabinet together and needs the 30 days. According to a post today on Dinar Vets titled "Kurdish deputy: Impossible for Nouri Al Maliki to form a government in one month" Read more: Tifour said that "it is impossible to Nouri Al-Maliki assigned to form the new government to reach an agreement with the various over the distribution of ministerial posts and the names of the new government to the Chamber of Deputies in the period any specific legal within one month of officially assigned the task", explaining that " there are some problems with regard to the distribution of ministerial portfolios and how to be distributed among the various blocs within each coalition, which represents an obstacle to nouri Al-Maliki." That is what we need to hear now isn't it? More negative crap. Is it real or is it crap? We don't really know because this is Iraq and the credibility of news changes as the wind turns. I am torn as many of us are on this issue of when would be the best date to RV if and when they can get their govt officially formed! A tuesday? A Friday? What about the first and the 15th of the month? Are those good dates? Who the heck knows? Shabbi says end of 2010 for RV. Great. However to be released from Chapter 7 need an Rv first. Great. Need govt formed and budget approved. Great. They know what they have to do I just hope they are not running out of time for this year to do it. If Maliki cannot get govt together does that also effect voting on budget approval by interim govt? If Maliki does not get govt together than Allawi has 30 days. That could literally be 60 days before we see an RV. Common sense says no way can they hold out without any coffers in the bank. There have been no auctions for 30 days. So they must be able to get a govt together right? Makes sense right? MY head spins with all the info and intel. My rational is I sure hope Maliki can pull this off in 30 days or less obviously. My wife and I go round and round with this daily trying to rationalize all the points that makes sense and why they can't hold off forming much longer? Or can they?. Sadly as desperate as the Iraq people are the "makes sense" part doesn't make any sense. The govt must know what risks they are taking with delays. Hence my frustration and many others. I really feel for these people. They have suffered enough. Sorry for the rambling just had to get all this out before my head explodes. I believe we will have an RV if parliament members can stop the jockeying for positions long enough to understand what risks are at hand delaying further than necessary. I sure hope they can get some help forming their govt. Thanks for listening and I welcome all input. Dinosaur

Rick I couldn't have said it better myself. Idiots jockeying for position are risking losing everything and the whole fiasco starts all over again. Dinosaur

Horse Hockey. Smoke smoke smoke.

Why post a title like this? I mean really. "Iraq budget announcement. Rv in the budget" Let use some common sense please here folks! This title looks as though you have intel that the Budget has been announced. Are you kidding me? I almost had a heart attack. Next time how about a title like " budget question". Thanks. Lets be considerate to everyone. PLEASE. Dinosaur

Oh boy. Prepare yourself. There will be no lop. Bashers be kind.

That is one of the best honest cleanest to the point short and sweet looking after a newbie reply I have ever seen. Ha ha aha. I am still chuckling. Poor bugger never saw it coming did he. Tuck and roll kid. Here come the bashers. I smell a good roast a coming. Apologise unreservedly if you know whats good for you. There will be no lop. Why. Because the rest of the world wont let them thats why. And the band played on ........ all is good.

Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over. Sounds promising for the future of Iraq if they can keep the peace. Great post.

Check And Mate. Congratulations both of you for sticking it out and sticking together. God Bless and thank you both for all you do for this family. You sure deserve it. Kindest Regards, Dinosaur and Thumper (26 years together and going stronger everyday)
