Really? Are they actually wanting us to believe that Sec. of State is going to spend a  week in the Middle 

East just to "Reassure" them that all is going to be well? Considering that most of them don't trust us and the rest hate us, to embark on such a trip is nothing more than a waste of time. 

However, it makes a quasi cover story for someone that is going to the Middle East to Garner

support for a M.E. coalition against the upcoming conflict with Iran. 

As much as I wish this was about the Dinar I doubt that, with one caveat. America is really not in a 

financial situation that it can support another war. Thus the need to Strengthen economic relations.

An RV of the Iraqi Dinar could well be one way to pay for such a conflict. 

A conflict that almost all in the Middle East would welcome if it meant Regime change in Iran. 

The one country that they all hate.
