LOL... It's terrible that I laugh, but it could very well happen.

What tribe? I'm part Paiute Indian.

Very positive and exciting news. I'm waiting to see what happens next. GO RV!!!

Sounds to me like our military is paying close attention to that clown Sadr and his posse on camels....OUTSTANDING!! GO U.S. MILITARY!! Sadr is a threat to Iraq and the U.S. forces still in Iraq. It's about time we start defending our backs against Sadr and his threats and the strategic positioning he's trying to take against U.S. forces. I'm typically not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems to me that Sadr is holding hands with Iran...and that in itself would be a threat not counting him and his Mehdi army and all their cowardly attacks. I'm glad the message is being sent. It has been a long time coming.

jxhal, Thank you for posting. I gave you a +1 to try and counter the negatives. People need to think before administering minuses especially when posting news that is not what the poster has written or perceives. Have a good day.

Maliki is in this for himself. He talks a good game, but his actions tell another tale. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he is greasing palms with Iran and Sadr....or if he's playing the puppet for them. Time will tell all, I guess. I only hope for the sake of the people of Iraq that someone puts Maliki in his place and soon.

I rechecked to see if it needed correction and I found the same information as earlier so I imagine it won't change. Thanks for the post hurricanewayne. Have a great evening. LOL!! I love your sense of humor, Doc. And thanks for the compliment.

Good idea. Doc's awesome and he can decipher it better than I could.

If the article is true and factual, it's more of the same bickering and squabbling back and forth. Admittedly, it's also interesting to see how they view one another. Moreover, they are two alphas fighting for position or so it seems. Neither one are impressive as far as I'm concerned because the people in their nation are still suffering and trying to rebuild what's left of their lives. I hope one day their incessant power plays stop and they settle down and do what's best for their people. They are the ones who truly deserve a break from everything they've had to endure. But, what can I say? This is Iraq we're talking about. Maybe one day they'll see the light.

Speculation in my brain is on the rise. And the thoughts and curiosity of them are flowing like a river. This is quite interesting. I can't wait to find out what has been said in the announcement today (hopefully they had an announcement, if I didn't read the other posts of articles wrong) and the open media invite next Wednesday. Things are falling into place in Iraq so fast...I really do hope this is concerning the rv. But if not, that's okay because they're closer now than they've ever been. I am SO curious!! I'm going to keep my eyes wide open and pay real close attention and say GO RV!!! Have a great day everyone!!!

I like your thoughts on this zul. And I hope you're right. For now, I'm not sure of anything right now because there is still indecision and secrecy still. If I could give you a positive vote on your post, I would, but I've run out of my allowance for today. Take care and thanks for the post.

Agreed, Jazzman!!!

:lol: :lol: HOW EMBARRASSING!!

HMM...very curious and interesting indeed...and now with this big announcement the Iraqis are supposed to have...HMM. Gets the speculation in the blood flowing.

HMMM....they don't say!!!?? I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out this is what Iran has been pining for and what al-Sadr wants. Sadr has been holding hands with Iran for a while now (after all isn't that where he went after he tucked his tail between his legs and ran from our military)...and looking at it from a conspiracy theory point-of-view, he's probably the one who's heading it up since he's the one pressing to be rid of our soldiers as fast as he can...and at a time when Iraq is still relatively weak. Moreover, it wouldn't surprise me if Maliki is in the mix of this one as well...but again, I'm talking from a conspiracy theory viewpoint.

Whether they redenominate or not...whether they revalue or not... or whether they do both or not, it's in the hands of the Iraqis. They are going to do what they think is best for Iraq. It could go a variety of ways. It's foolish to say it will go this way or that. Especially when none of us are in control. I see nothing wrong with speculating and speaking what is perceived or believed individually, but I implore and beg everyone to attempt to respect each other. This thing is difficult enough to wait through with all its ups and downs without the biting and ugliness. And the positive thing...whatever is to happen is imminent now. It's just a matter of the trigger being pulled. Keep grounded and keep your chins up. We'll know for sure what is to happen soon enough. I truly believe that. Respectfully yours, aferriss

Thank you for the post and the many others, k98nights. I read nearly every one. It helps me piece things together as best as possible. (Even clear out some of the smoke and mirrors.) -Amy

According to the article, no one knows what this is about. We'll all have to wait and see. Hopefully it is an announcement of a revaluation. Then again, they could announce the finalization of the security ministers and the GOI. Or maybe something entirely different. Who knows? Time will tell. I still say GO RV!!

I can't say that this doesn't make the wheels in my head turn. After all, Saddam was another one who snuffed out his competition too. Time will definitely tell.

Thanks for the post, k98nights.

My thoughts exactly

:lol: :lol: I love it!!! I agree. LOL

How very sad.

Changing the heart of an evil person is one thing, but that of a ruler is an entirely different bag of worms. Though God could turn Pelosi's heart around, the damage from her behavior and actions has already manifested itself and caused significant harm. Or should we forget about the law of sowing and reaping? She sowed seeds that were evil. Galatians 6:7-8 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." And don't forget this, our forefathers fought and killed against tyrannical rulers and oppressors so that you would be able to live in a country of freedom and have rights. It came by blood, molasses. And though killing should be a very last resort, if that's what it takes to rid this nation of tyrannical rulers and oppressors like our forefathers did then so be it. One more thing you should note, our very own Constitution gives us the right to do so. It is written in our very laws.
