Will someone please tell Maliki to stop coming to this site and posting propaganda for his own cause (LOL)! Just playing!

It could be just another contractual dispute. There have been several over the past couple of years. It usually happens when the Iraqi government doesn't like something in the SOFA agreement and/or they found something to use to squeeze more money out of the US government. I would hope that you are right but at the same time I wouldn't hold my breath. In any event please keep us posted. Go RV

Give me a shot for that knot! LOL

In return the US guaranteed to keep the King in power? Now we're in charge of what happens in Saudi Arabia as far as their government goes and who will be king? Can someone please break this down for me? This part twisted my mind in a knot. Thanks

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Sunni and Shi'ite insurgents are reviving the tactic of firing rockets at Baghdad's fortified Green Zone, unsettling the Iraqi capital's residents and adding to a sense that security is eroding as U.S. troops withdraw. Violence may have dropped sharply from the peak of sectarian carnage two years ago, but political squabbling that has delayed the formation of a new government has emboldened militants. The U.S. military says rocket attacks against the Green Zone, home to the Iraqi government and foreign embassies, spiked in September. The military blames both Iranian-backed Shi'ite groups and Sunni Islamist al Qaeda for the violence. "Over the last four to six weeks, we've seen a spike of indirect fire," said Brigadier General Ralph Baker, commander of U.S. troops in central Iraq, using the military term for rocket or mortar attacks. "It's a difficult technique to defeat," he said, adding that the military believed levels of violence would decline once Iraqi politicians agreed on forming a new government. Firing positions seem to be encroaching on the Green Zone from both Sunni and Shi'ite areas, triggering concerns about the ability of the Iraqi army to stamp out insurgents now that U.S. combat operations have formally ended in the country. "They have changed their tactics and started launching attacks from a very close range to be sure that there is no time to warn people inside the Green Zone," a source in the Iraqi defense ministry told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Bombs and drive-by shootings still claim more lives, but the surge in rocket strikes is an unsettling echo of the war's darkest days, when militants controlled swathes of the city and were able to fire rockets and mortars with impunity. Back then, U.S. troops would respond by hunting firing teams with helicopter missile strikes and putting neighborhoods under siege. Now, Iraqi authorities say fear of hitting civilians has so far curbed their military response. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=11831931

Thanks for the post.

Not only would a person ask , 'What' sa dinar?' but I also believe that the bank manager would or should know how to get dinar themselves. I mean they are in the right business to get the dinars without stepping outside of a bank to ask a customer. I'm not bashing but only stating what to me would be the obvious.

You sure have the right user name........

OK PEOPLE!!!!! The 15 Minutes of Dinar/Dong Comedy Fame is over....now everyone get back to work as start digging up some real intel.............

That post is the very reason I'm on this site. That was the most worthless read I've had in a long time. Sad....simply..........Sad!

Thank you so much for the laugh, it really made my day. If you haven't thought about writing a humorus book (Post RV) about this wait by collecting information from others you should. I'll take a few copies and send out to those that laughed at me and my investment or flat out told me it would aamount to nothing.

NAJAF, Iraq – Iraqis hoping for a secular, nonsectarian government are worried about signs that the country's most revered Shiite cleric has stepped into the postelection fray with moves that appear aligned with Iran's own ambitions in Iraq. The March 7 election gave a narrow victory to a bloc led by Ayad Allawi, a secular Shiite with Sunni backing. But Allawi's chances of heading the next government were dampened when two major Shiite blocs, one of them overtly religious, struck an alliance after the votes were in. Now Allawi faces a fresh challenge in the shape of Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani, the 83-year-old sage who was revered by Sunnis and Shiites alike as a uniter standing above politics, but who is now seen by many as the man who shut out Allawi and brokered the alliance that put the Shiites on top. The apparent shift brings into sharper focus the conflicting visions of Iraq's future as the U.S. prepares to withdraw its forces from the country next year — whether it will drift into the orbit of Iran, or take the middle ground by improving relations with Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-led Arab states. Shiites are the majority in both Iraq and Iran, and the new alliance has positioned religious Shiite parties to maintain their hold on power for four more years and deepen the intertwining of politics and religion in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. The formalization of the merger was announced just hours after Ammar al-Hakim, one of its leaders, met with al-Sistani in Najaf, the Shiite holy city and base of the so-called marjaiyah, or religious Shiite leadership. Sunnis backed Allawi's Iraqiya bloc because they wanted a secular, Iraq-focused party to shield them against some Iranian-style form of Shiite clerical rule. They are taking the new Shiite alliance as a slap in the face, and fear Al-Sistani has gone from uniter of Iraq to uniter of its Shiites. "We don't view the recent moves of the marjaiyah to have been made in the national interest," complained Mohammed Tamim, an Iraqiya lawmaker. "They were made for the benefit of just one particular sect." The Shiites, for their part, see Iraqiya as a vehicle for sympathizers of Saddam's Baathist regime to regain their ascendancy or at least win more power than their minority status entitles them to. Both Allawi and al-Sistani carry personal baggage that isn't lost on Iraqis. Al-Sistani was born in Iran and holds Iranian citizenship. Allawi is a former member of the Baath Party and was handpicked by the Americans in 2004 to serve as Iraq's first post-Saddam prime minister. Iraq's next two prime ministers — Ibrahim al-Jaafari and the current Nouri al-Maliki — belong to the religious Shiite Dawa Party which is in the new alliance. With al-Maliki leading the alliance and seeking another term as prime minister, and Allawi claiming the title on the strength of his election showing, al-Sistani's role may be critical. The ayatollah won his stature by skillfully shepherding the nation through the upheavals that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, defending the country's nascent democracy, and insisting that the new constitution be drafted by directly elected lawmakers. He resolutely stayed out of partisan politics, and his aides say nothing has changed in that regard. But two Shiite insiders with direct links to the marjaiyah cite evidence that the cleric has, at least in part, gone partisan. Speaking anonymously because the subject is sensitive, they say it was al-Sistani who pushed for the merger that secured control of the 325-seat legislature; that he agreed, albeit reluctantly, to be the arbiter of any differences that might arise between the two factions; and that he gave the clear impression he wouldn't support any secular candidate for prime minister, thus ruling out Allawi, the Sunnis' favorite. Allawi visited al-Sistani in Najaf on May 23 to enlist his support, and according to the insiders and a source who was present, the meeting was fraught with tension. They said Al-Sistani rebuked Allawi for touring Sunni-ruled Arab nations to win their endorsement, and urged him to "withdraw" his warning of civil war if his bloc was denied power. Al-Sistani's style is subtle, and it is hard to judge to what extent, if any, he wishes to serve Iranian interests. But he may also have had personal reasons for stepping into the political tangle: a fear that if he stayed aloof, other rising Shiite clerics would move into the vacuum at a time when Shiites increasingly seek to unite in readiness for the U.S. withdrawal by the end of next year. They said al-Sistani's declining health has forced him to greatly reduce his teaching schedule for seminary students and he is losing ground to the Afghan-born Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Ishaq al-Fayadh, who is fast establishing himself as Najaf's leading scholar. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100617/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iraq_clerics_and_politics

I recall Adam last saying the the RV would happen sometime in or before the middle of this summer. Thtat was shortly before he disappearance which he also explained. Was I dreaming or di he really say that We haven't reached that point and time yet. Marketalley if you want proof or a contact this is too easy. You look up the CBI and ask to speak to someone that can and will give you all the information you want and need pertaining to the RV and then you can share this information with the rest of us or keep it to yourself. I mean look at it this way....If I want a friend and you have one, I'm certainly not going to come to you and ask you if I can be friends with your friend and I'm going directly to that person and checking to see if they would like to be friends with me or not. In other words you do your own leg work and garner your own contacts and friends in this matter. You put your butt out there and made demands as if Adam owes you something. In the words of Billy Preston, 'Nothing form Nothing leaves Nothing". You my friend have done nothing but made a demand without cause and with nothing behind it other than you want someone to tell you when the RV is really going to happen date/rate. The only thing that ticks me off more is the fact that you can casually make a comment about his contact being blown up in the attack. I for one while still currently in Iraq find that to be very offensive and totally uncalled for. I'll tell you what if you want you could also apply for a job at the Central Bank of Iraq and you'll know the very day the dinar RV's that is if you can stand the heat over here. Not even 10 in the morning and already at the 100 degree mark. 'Come on big boi come get some!' There are contacts all over Iraq to be exact all you have to do is walk the streets of Baghdad and ask the local citizens where you can find someoone to tell you about the RV, by the way don't foget to bring your dinar with you.

Excellent find and post. Thank you!

I'm sorry but the last time Adam was here he spoke about the timing of the RV happening in the middle of the summer. He was pretty specific about it being before middle of the summer. He then went on to say that when the time was right he would inform us of other details/intel. I hope that his is resting and enjoying his family like many of us should be doing. Just because Adam isn't speaking some tend to think that something is wrong. If it were suffice it to say Adam would have been one of the first one to inform us. We have plenty of intel coming from the news media right now. The government is being formed and things are moving with a good deal of speed now. If the CBI contact were to actually give out a date and rate undoubtably he would found somewhere buried deep in the dessert. I'm not kidding here. Sit back and relax (if you can). When the time is right or ripe Adam will let us know that the water is about to break and we'll have little dinarinaires running all over the place. I mean come on isn't enough that Adam even set up this site and hasn't pumped or proded anyone to buy anything but his book and then people complained still when he said he was giving certain of the proceeds to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti? Maybe he did one other time with the VIP but can you blame him? I mean after-all he is a businessman. He's got his own business to run as well. If not for Adam most of us wouldn't even have a place to voice our opinions in a forum such as this. I'm not calling you out on this I'm just saying in a longwinded way. Let's keep our eyes on the news and when we see it come to being exactly what the media is saying at the time know that we are getting closer. Do I really need Adam to tell me that over and over again within a few short weeks. Naw. I'll take the pass. That being said I feel that it's a 10 on your question. No date/No rate just a enormous Bo Derrek perfect gymnastics, Dancing with the Stars 10 10 10 10 10 (LOL)!

I'm tracking you sir. However you didn't come out here with a type of Flash Flood Warning declaring that banks are short of Dinar and have stopped selling. Additionally, there is a major difference between a few banks and all banks. I believe who ever posted this is not really a newbie but someone that is trying to create panic and a rush to go out and buy dinar. People don't go out and spend the baby's milk money, buy only what you can afford to buy.

This is the rumor section but I'm going to ask anyway (LOL)! From where was this rumor birthed? What banks are you talking about if any and how did you come to believing that dinars are in short supply?

Wait.......do you have any intel about whether or not the purses have Dinar/Dong in them? If so would you please provide the link?!

I don't even know Mongo and have never chatted with him, and I like him already! Mongo (whoever you are) if you're reading thees post. Come back out, don't let a few bad seed discourage you and help put the finishing move on this RV/RI thing.

I am not too sure that this wasn't a Plan B just in case something went awray. I'm not the smartest cokkie in the pack but I do know if I took a loan and it was coming to me by installments I would take those that are not needed and return them immediately with whatever interest came with the deal. I believe that this was necessary just in case the setting up of the government, the lifting of Chapter VII and other factors started taking a left turn nd going wrong instead of right. I'm still thinking that the RV is closer than you think. I don't know how long you've been waiting but for me it has been a SHORT wait of almost 2 (two) years. I understand that some of the people that have invested are in dire straights but we also have to be mindful that the Iraqi people have been in that condition for a very long time. I know that some you you don't care about the status or the condition of the Iraqi people let alone some of your own citizens and it's all about you so my words are falling on deaf ears. It's all good what comes around goes around and keep in mind you with all the piles of money that you are about to enjoy will not buy you joy or happiness. Some of you may even change for the worse because of the spoils. All I want to say is I am praying for you one and all (myself include) that the money only serves to change your situation if you have a sound mind and compassion for those around you but for those of you that don't......I pray that the money does not change you for the worse and will somehow change you for the better and you use the money wisely and help a few others as you go along your journey. No shouts of GO RV from me..........Oh YES I will be extremely HAPPY when it does take place but at the same time I know that the conditions of the people over here (yes, I am in Iraq) will continually improve. That is something to behappy about as well........at least from my point of view.

COME ON NOW.....Everybody knows that extra dollar went to the IRS (LOL)!

Now that's too funny.....ROFL

Excellent Post you truly earned and deserved that Dinarvet's Lois Lane Award!

Maybe my line of thinking is a bit off but I look at it as the people that are selling dinars have made money off of the deal and will continue to make money as long as they sell it. If the value of the dinar comes out on a lower end for the sake of augument let's say .10-1.45 and you were selling dinar knowing that it could full well keep moving to the 3.00+ would you stop selling? I know I wouldn't. Even if it comes out at 3.00+ why should they stop selling now? They are business men and women making money. I'm not an economist but I understand making money in these hard times. Before anyone says anything about pumping. I own dinar and brought my last 5 months ago. I am not buying any more and I don't sell. As the saying goes........don't spend the baby milk money when you full well know you can't afford to.......a crying baby is no laughing matter.
