    Just because they have "boots on ground" does not give them moral superiority in the matter of facts occurring or not occurring. Pure scientific method shows that if the rumors they have are 100% wrong 100% of the time, then perhaps they are not to be bothered with regarding them as having valid information in the area of the dinar revaluation. This does not make them bad people anymore than me being unable to play for the NBA makes me a bad person, it just dictates that perhaps we should just enjoy the rumors as good fun while we wait, rather than illogically hope that next Wed (or whenever) a huge event will happen.


    I have enjoyed many of these forums as unique people get together a jabber. It is a wonderful motley crew from all over the globe. But I have to say, at times, we have all taken this whole monkey circus a little too serious...

    I hope nobody feels this is a flame against them, its just me saying caveat emptor, which I think is German for "Fat Kitten dressed in a meat helmet".
    Thanks!

    It's not about rumors. It's about facts and to date 'contacts' (real or imaginary) have supplied none that can be verified.

    So offshorewealths(i.e. Mikes) Kurdish contacts are not verifiable?
    "The expert at the "Central", Majid Assuri, expected a remarkable improvement in the rate of the dinar, due to the low dollar exchange rate, over the next couple of months."

    Mike doesn't hype info about TV spots showing piles of cash on a table or relatives driving from Baghdad in Humvees that are talking on satellite phone giving info while watching the survey teams shaking the field.

    He is actually the only one that has said they have contacts that I would give credence too.

    My point is what are we getting? We've gotten nothing worthwhile out of any contacts!

    That conversation in the Humvee was a fine example - and the TV spot that was showing every hour but somehow can't be verified by one stinking contact, is yet another!

    For all this talk about, "My contacts this... my contacts that" we're getting ZIP!

    These contacts are either BOLD FACED LIARS - or they just don't exist!

    So far everything we know is coming strictly from the news. Regretably, no contact info has ever carried any validity.

    All we hear is, "I'm waiting for my contact to get back to me". And as usual - they never do! (and if by some total fluke we do - the info is totally lame!)

    We hear them talking about their 'boots on the ground' in Iraq but it always adds up to a big '0'.

    With all these imaginary 'boots on the ground' we're supposed to have in Iraq - we can't even confirm the price of a lousy candy bar!

    Thanks for doubting my integrity and value of my posts.

    My contact is an Iraqi guy I worked with for five years who still has family in Iraq and speaks to them every week.

    Anyone can copy posts from other forums and news sites, all of which turn out to be useless information about some Iraqi politician who has blown his nose or wiped his ass, which must have some bearing on am imminent reval.

    Posts like yours are the type that are driving good members away from this forum, how long must this continue?

    Just been searching around for any value that you have added to this forum, and guess what?

    NOTHING! You are one of the copy and paste brigade I just mentioned. Thanks for your valued input.

    I don't mean to doubt the integrity of your posts and I agree with much that you say - it's just that for all these so-called 'contacts', what's the net gain? How can it make sense that when certain individuals try to confirm events through their contacts - they come up empty again and again!

    We should have a thread called "Valuable Information Supplied By Contacts" - but I'm convinced there wouldn't be any posts.
