Well there you go. Some ARE more equal than others.

Follow the Kurds!!! Kurds lead the way! Thanks K98. I don't always post a response to your stuff but you bring some good things to read.

Jayden33: glad you posted. I was just about to say the same thing. They changed laws and were taxing use of USD which caused the crash in the cash auctions, then realized they needed more to keep things moving and changed the rules on taxes and investigations again. They don't really have a good understanding of cause and effect. Guess the sterilization program is being undone now with the auctions going way up again.

Negotiating with terrorists....... Doesn't usually work.

Two days in a row....Awesome. Thanks for bringin it!

Thank you PVS! I could swear I have heard this same headline since Dec or January. It's like dejavu all over again!

Getting to see just how sectarian the mind set is among the gulf people. Not really a melting pot of cooperation. Saudi seems to be fearful of democracy next door. Sara Johnson article about the Bahranian police beating up on an Iraqi ships crew because some Iraqi politicians voiced support for the peoples intifada in Bahrain. The uglies are coming out.

Maybe I didn't find the right page but it looked like Iraq has not submitted any paperwork since 2008. Maybe they are slow to post.

I thougth our government was having a difficult time with the concept of transparency and rule of law.

I'm sticking to the Rumors section. That's a much happier place.

It's Sunday also. Typically low on Sundays, number of banks and volume

You're kidding?

Thanks, Ronscarpa! Always finding the gold among the fools gold.

The military will eventually get paid. This is a political ploy by the left to increase tension and leverage for them. The most important thing out of this is that all the world gets to see how this administration views people other than themselves, surfs, pawns, people who don't matter. I hope it backfires in the biggest way possible. I understand Planned Parenthood is not missing their paycheck from the US Government.

Just another deadline to miss. They had to have a tradeable currency 30 days prior, missed the first deadline, will miss this one. Can't count on security or promises. On a related note....who believes that these folks can cooperate with each other enough to pull off a Gulf states currency that is scheduled to be out 2012? I don't believe they can agree on a favorite flavor of icecream.
