And how is this related to Iraq or the Iraqi Dinar????? This goes in the who the heck cares section. No disrespect intended....just posted in the wrong place.

I don;t believe it's about the money...and you're exactly right easyrider. This is about leveraging ability to repay to establish a global credit rating, and establish a relationship. If you look at the richest people in the world, they rarely spend their own money...they simply leverage it to borrow someone elses.

This loan is actually a good sign. There has to be some signs of ability to repay the loan prior to money being loaned by the World Bank. Trust me...the World Bank is not in the business of making bad loans and losing money.

I'm with you Rayzur. This still doesn't add up. I find it very difficult to believe that the media would announce the specific locations of the countries two highest officals (Talabani and Maliki). Why would you broadcast this? Sounds great for a media spin as the unsuspecting would think nothing of it. I can't see it being policy to do this. In General, any meetings with multiple members of political stature is announced post meeting, and the general purpose is for the security of those individuals. Additionally, we would have seen an official news conference/statement from the physician/medical staff attending to the President. We have not seen this to date. Not saying it's not true...I am saying this falls way outside typical protocal for this type of event.

As are we all!

Meetings resume at 3pm eastern time. Information directly from phonecall to UN. Compliments of DeborahLayne. Security Council meetings are closed door today

Fox is not reporting that Talibani is dead...they have not and currently are not. Their ticker states he has been hospitalized due to stroke and is being treated by a medical team in Baghdad. PM maliki is at the hospital and it is undecided if treatment will continue in Baghdad or if he will be transferred to another country for treatment... With my own eyes...30 seconds ago

Jacked up

XACTLY!!!!!

How could he have been unconscious since Friday and have meetings in Baghdad with Maliki yesterday??? Not buying it....something doesn't add up

How does a prepared press statement come out less than 30 minutes after his supposed death....12:17 GMT . ??????

Something doesn't add up. Conflicting articles all over the place

So first he's clinically dead and on life support...now he's not. Strange...this should prove to be an interesting day full of news and conjecture.

Strangly similar to Kuwait before RI/RV...not saying it's not true. Just really odd. Have offered a prayer for his well being nonetheless..

Good news...thanks Alexyn

Oh my....i believe his question was where is it referenced in the article. However I'm sure he's grateful for the elementary quick class on fractions/decimals! lol I do like your thinking though....i'll gladly take the $1.18 rate :):) Your day any better???

Just under 1 dinar....something's amiss here. Just my .840 dinar worth

Doesn't that seem to be REALLY REALLY cheap for a trading price of any financial institution?

Where's the $$$$$$$$$$??????? lol

These were my exact sentiments on another forum....time will tell Hi5

So gald u said this...there has been speculation (from scientists and geologists....look it up) that oil isn't a fossil fuel at all...food for thought

Whereas I agree with you (mostly)...any Dinar in Private circulation outside of Iraqs borders will remain out of CBI's hands until an RV has occurred. The sellers that buy back dinar are only incentivised by re-selling back into the private market with the normal markup. It's an absolute brilliant business plan. I don;t believe it would even be possible to sell back to Iraq as a currency exchange unless it was a tradable currency...which it is not. So in short, if indeed any of the lopsters are making gain, they would have to be paid from the sellers the same as the pumpers to create a cyclical scenario...which wouldn't surprise me if one or two were wrapped into these tactics. Furthermore, de-dollarization inside Iraq is much more relevant to a sustainable RV rate. The amount of Dinar inside Iraqs border is basically irrelevant. Get the Dollars OUT! Anyhow, I could really care less...I have my few Dinar and am only interested in the RV, and am hopeful it occurs soon and am encouraged at the complexity and comprehensive nature of information being fed. Thanks for the post...Best Regards

This is great if followed through

I just checked...i can't get on the site...wouldn't read anything into it

that's what we call a "tossed" salad
