I have come to the conclusion that Iraqi politicians and bureaucrats are very much like American politicians and bureaucrats. They often (usually) say things that have no real meaning whatsoever - and then people spend innumerable hours discussing what they said or jumping to a conclusion about what they said because what they said is so ambiguous or so totally devoid of meaning. Which is exactly what they intended, because they can always come back later and say "No, that isn't what I said at all."

Purchased dinar for the first time within the past month. After reading archives going back years, I'm about where you started. I've arrived at a "wake me when it's over" attitude. I'm not going to make any major purchases (like a McDonald's burger and fries) on the assumption that appreciation on my dinar will pay for it. The down side is so little that I might even buy some more dinar, but I'm sure not going to invest a lot of time, energy and emotional involvement in keeping up with the prospects.
