SgtFuryUSCZ Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 ***/// We're standing by TheKurds on this one -- as they must be as frustrated as hell - just like us - trying to deal with an overly-fickle, commitment-phobic, cowardly GOI. Sure wish we could break up with 'em, too... but then -- what to do with all this toilet paper we're holding... At least TheKurds have oil.... unlike our fool's gold Dinars.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalDinar Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm afraid some day in the near future we will see a new Kurdish currency Sarge. I've kept a million dinar but I think Ill bring that down to 100 K soon enough. Iraq is not the same country as when I bought into it. Have a great 4th of July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked with this young muslim kid the other day. He blamed the whole mess in Iraq on us. He said they took out sudam, put in maliki, we supported the isis fighters to take out seria president, then they turned on us and the trade towers we knew about and let it happen and had bombs planted in them waiting to go off. We are going to be in big trouble if we keep letting in people that have no allegiance to our country. He said his people did not hate the American people they hated our government. It seems like, help and support = people hate us, so lets stop it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtFuryUSCZ Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) ///*** That young man spoke his truth -- as he sees it. As do many here. He is not entirely wrong. We are at war with ourselves, so to speak, as our 'elected' folks end up bending over once they hit D.C. and begin their term of slavitude to the PTB -- NOT to The People of These United States. Hence we are sent to fight TPTB's battles -- for their enrichment... doin' their dirty work the world over... UNDER THE GUISE OF SPREADING "DEMOCRACY".... Our Republic needs to batten down the hatches, clean house, mind our own damned business -- which is NOT the business of TPTB.... Time to JUST SAY "NO". (if this spreading Democracy malarky were true, why does hobummer not get our hostages out of IRAN instead of climbing into bed with their evil imam's and presenting his bum to them for a nuke 'deal' ?) .

The Oil and Gas Agreement/Law is good for Baghdad, but they can't seem to see that. A whole year has gone by since the elections. It is time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtFuryUSCZ Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 ***/// Got it, DOC ! Which is why we're convinced we cannot wait (at our advanced years) to wait for a GOI with their commitment issues, in-fighting / backstabbing, complete lack of sense of timing, cowardice and now getting led around by the nose by TPTB's WB & IMF / UN.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like, help and support = people hate us, so lets stop it. The kid is 100% correct . . . Maliki was terrible. We gave and continue to give weapons to ISIS and other fanatical rebels. There are 27 (?) unclassifed pages of the 9/11 report that Bush and Obama refuse to release. Which congressman who have read it say it has changed how they see the world and US history as fed to the public. So what exactly did he say that was wrong? Our government is corrupt to the core. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we all still be proud Americans when you say all of this is true. Why do we still live in a country that supports, American terrorism against its own people. Do we leave or fight for and against our country. If we fight against us we kill our own people and country. What is the answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
