Remember, no one really  knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... :twothumbs:RON 

 

 

** Frank26  [Firefly boots-on-the-ground Iraqi TV update]  Firefly: We're seeing at the bottom of our TV...the ticker...the CBI governor is saying they will be explaining the new currency and the federal reserves and what the deleting of the zeros means and he is telling us this is good for Iraq's economy.  He's says the financial committee along with the central bank of Iraq governor Mustafa and other financial leaders will all be interviewed.  And they are going to give more details why the exchange rate needs to be changed...this will be given to us Wednesday.  We will watch.  We will listen for this.  We will give you the report... Frank: This is fantastic because this is literally the final countdown.  You are down to just a handful of time...prepare yourself for this coming Wednesday to learn the power of the pros and cons...of what's about to come.



** butterfly  Article: "An Iraqi delegation visits Geneva to discuss accession to the World Trade Organization" Quote: "...Iraq is looking forward to ending the file of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization soon, pointing out that “the accession process is complex and contains great and many conditions.

Might be time for me to pull out my camel costume and go undercover with you!  :bananacamel:

 

Hmmm...  I wouldn't be wearing a camel costume over there if I were you.  You'd be quite the target.

You know why they don't have sex education and drivers education there on the same day? 

It completely wears out the camels.

The average citizens in Iraq are or will be homeless soon unless they takes a drastic measure, uhummm. I'm thinking the government employees are sitting pretty right now just like the ones here in the US. Its a 2 party system, the government and us.
