  1. I bought some from BB$T in Charlotte. The price was right but it took 2 weeks to get them. They said they were backordered. Dinartrader will have them to you in 2 days. Good luck!
  2. I have purchased from both my bank and Dinar trade. The bank cost less but took 2 weeks to deliver. Dinar trade sells 250,000 for $294.00 delivered and they get here in 2 days.
  3. So if you ordered 1 million Dinar and it rv's at 1;1. They would be sending 1 million dollars, cash, overnight in a fed x package ??? Insurance ??? Scary !!! I ordered twicw from BB&T a week ago friday. One order arrived yesterday but the other hasn't made it. I am concerned about it getting here but I feel sure it will. Good luck all!
  4. If you order now and they ship on Monday, what happens if the RV does happen this week? Are you locked in? Do you think they will still ship them? What would the insurance be on that overnight package??? Good luck all,,, and,,, Happy Thanksgiving!

  7. Maliki, To Be Officially Designated To Form Iraqi Government, Is Already In Action Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is scheduled to issue a presidential decree on November 25 calling on Nouri al-Maliki to form a new government. Al-Maliki is already acting in full swing to get a head start. As a first step, al-Maliki has asked all the participating political blocs to submit names of candidates for the government. There is still no agreement among the participating partners on how the cabinet posts will be allocated, but some numerical value system which allocates two points for every seat in parliament is under consideration The current government has 37 cabinet positions, including five so-called sovereign positions – oil, finance, foreign affairs, defense and interior – in addition to service ministries and ministers of state without a portfolio. The competition for the sovereign posts will be particularly intense. Al-Maliki will have 30 days to form a government. There is no extension provided in the constitution. In the event that a government is not formed within the prescribed time, the president is required to designate another member of parliament. Not surprisingly, there are those who would do their utmost to impede Al-Maliki's effort to meet the constitutional requirement of forming a government within 30 days. It has taken eight months to reach an agreement on a candidate for the post of prime minister, and there is no guarantee, given the hostility and distrust between the various key political figures in Iraq, that al-Maliki will succeed in his task. Allawi has fired the first shot by declaring that the battle is not over, while accusing Iran of denying him the post of prime minister to which he was entitled as the leader of the largest faction in parliament. The Sadrists, with only 40 MPs, are demanding 25% of the government positions. Their preference is for service ministries, which they use to distribute government resources for the benefit of their supporters.
  8. BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq has run out of money to pay for widows' benefits, farm crops and other programs for the poor, the parliament leader on Sunday told lawmakers who have collected nearly $180,000 so far this year in one of the world's most oil-rich nations. In only their fourth session since being elected in March, members of Iraq's parliament demanded to know what happened to the estimated $1 billion allocated for welfare funding by the Finance Ministry for 2010. "We should ask the government where these allocations for widows' aid have gone," demanded Sadrist lawmaker Maha Adouri of Baghdad, one of the women who make up a quarter of the legislature's 325 members. "There are thousands of widows who did not receive financial aid for months." Another legislator said farmers have not been paid for wheat and other crops they supplied the government for at least five months. The cause of the shortfall was clear, but officials have worried that the deadlock over forming a new government since March's inconclusive election ultimately would lead to funding shortages. Whatever the cause, the welfare cutoff has been felt among Iraqis. "We are sick people and others are old, and not getting our welfare puts us in a financial crisis," said Fatima Hassan, 54, a widow who lives with her four children in Baghdad's Sadr City slum. "How can we pay for our daily needs and for our medicine, or to cover the needs of my children? Where are the revenues of our right in our oil?" said Hassan, who stopped receiving government payments more than four months ago. Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi promised that parliament would push the Iraqi government for answers on where the money went. But he said new funding for the nation's social care programs will have to come out of the 2011 budget, which he said would be sent to parliament within days. He said the Finance Ministry recently alerted parliament of the cash drain. A Finance Ministry official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media put the 2010 welfare budget total at about $1 billion. He would not say the cause of the shortfall. "We will ask the government about this — if there is any carelessness or delaying these payments," said al-Nujaifi, a Sunni member of the Iraqiya political alliance. Iraq sits on top of some of the world's largest oil reserves, although production has failed to grow significantly since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion and subsequent reluctance by private investors to mine the vast petroleum fields. There are an estimated $143.1 billion barrels of oil reserves in Iraq, valued at over $1 trillion, based on the $81.51 per-barrel price as of Friday. The lawmakers' eagerness to take up an issue dear to their constituents may have aimed in part to reverse public scorn for their own lavish paychecks. Even though parliament has hardly met over the past eight months, lawmakers have continued to pull in salaries and allowances that reach $22,500 a month — as well a one-time $90,000 stipend and perks like free nights in Baghdad's finest hotel. The four-hour session was otherwise largely taken up by procedural issues since lawmakers still can't take up the most politically meaty issue before them — approving a new government. Factions have already started haggling over positions in backroom talks, even though President Jalal Talabani has not yet formally asked Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to begin selecting ministry leaders — a step that government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said would like come in several days. Once the official request comes from Talabani, al-Maliki has 30 days to assemble his cabinet. So the delay gives al-Maliki, a Shiite who nearly lost his job after his alliance fell short in the March vote, more time to decide how to divvy up the posts among his competing partners. A power-sharing agreement designed by Iraq's Kurdish leaders has assured that al-Maliki will remain prime minister even though a Sunni-backed but secular alliance known as Iraqiya won the most seats in the election.

  10. Now that looks like Fun !! Put me in Coach, I'm ready to play !!!
  11. Between an unclear Iraqiya role, an uncomfortably large Sadrist contingent, rising Kurdish demands, and no unity of purpose among any of the political groups, the prospects for the next government are not great. But the overall situation in Iraq will probably improve anyway. The next government isn't going to resolve much of Iraq's deep social and political dysfunction, but having it in place will finally allow the oil sector, budget, and infrastructure projects to begin to move ahead. Was it worth the eight (soon to be nine) month wait? No. But is it a good thing that there's likely to be a government by the new year? Absolutely.
  12. A dime a dozen, How does that convert to Dinar,,, ar,ar,ar?
