Its been said on here many a time that our "clue" will be on CBI, and NO disrespect to anyone, but you will see it there before you hear it anywhere else, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RockStar Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) I doubt most people have. So what. The point is what? I've never been to a slaughterhouse yet I still buy steaks. I've never done business with dozens of companies yet I own their stock. I've never grown wheat but I still eat bread. I've cast a lot of votes in my lifetime yet never met a single candidate. What possible difference does it make if people have been to Iraq or not? It doesn't make the dinar any more or less legitimate as a currency. Sound like you need to get more involved with where your money goes .The point im trying to make is don't go blindly in the dark on a promise from a person that dont know a thing about what is actually happing in any part of your life . This is what has the country in the shape we are in right now .If more people got engaged 20 years ago in the economy . Maybe just Maybe we could have diverted the disaster,that is becoming of our economy . Now I wont clame to know every thing about dinar. But i do know for a fact that it will reinstate this year .Perhaps very soon !! The important thing to remember is there is no better way to get more money out of this than just going to the bank and cashing it in OR investing it back in Iraq. If anybody tells you different they are trying to get in your pocket for a %...................Thats not thats a fact. 1st Gulf War, 2nd Gulf War, then 4 years as a contractor, running convoy security, have Iraqi friends I try to keep in touch with, all they soon is soon, but they been saying that for years. So you know what you have and i bet you dont get lead in to anything concerning you dinar I think that even-though we have done our part for our country. Maybe we are just not finished yet. Because it seems that some of the good hearted folks on here need some guidance . I think some of us should step up and get some of these scam (gurus) in to a new line of work .like picking up trash for the county .That way we can keep a eye on them .

Off-the-grid Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I drove across Iraq in 1973 with my folks on our first vacation in the Middle East together. Bought a cool onyx and brass lamp in the covered suque in Baghdad. Spent an afternoon at the ruins of Babylon. The people were very nice.

cajunrescuemedic Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I, myself, have worked in Iraq for 3 years as a Dept. of Defense contractor. I've worked at Camp Liberty which is west of Baghdad, and at the JMMT (Joint Military Mail Terminal) in both Camp Victory and at Camp Anaconda..which changed it's name to Joint Base Balad. So I can say with all honesty I've been to Iraq. This was from 2006 to 2009. I was working nights at the JMMT on the west side of the airport (BIAP) the morning they hung Saddam, and I was working the following night when they had the riots at the same prison when the general population of the prison found out that Saddam had been hung. That prison was about 1/2 mile from us and we heard that ruckus very clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI_Jane Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Was stationed in Balad 2004 which is where I purchased my first dinar. Back in 06-07 in both the Green Zone and Mosul where I got more dinar. Almost 2 1/2 years there. Would like to go back when safety is established.
