Thread: Iraq/Dinar News. 09/05 to 01/14/07

Well this isn't news but it is a picture of my desktop, I have iraqi time, can see when the sun is coming up over there and I have an exchange rate widget too.
( funny it has been reading 1526.2 dinars to the dollar all day)
And as you can see I even have and iraqi camel swimming for the U.S.

Hey guys, a few days ago, I recall reading posts by other members in which they had gotten word back from Mr M at warka indicating Warka was closed and also indicating Mr M was on "vacation" in Beirut. Am I recalling this right? I even recall a member making a joke about why would someone go on vacation from one war torn country to another.

Well, I just received this from Mr M after I was requesting info on my last ISX purchase which I had not received due to Warka being closed.

Please note that I am currently in Beirut on business and will be back in the office around the 10th of November 2006.

Thought it was interesting. Also, notice he says "back on the 10th.

Close of day one

I want to thank all the members supplying us with the information on Article 8 and Resolution 1637.

After carefully reading this information it would seem to me the opening of Iraq and a RV. I do not see how after signing those Laws they could not open there doors as that is what the Law addresses. This Law sounds like it is the RV. Now we know why the other Laws have not been passed before and why they have waiting on enacting the FIL.

I think on the 31st they will sign article 8 and enact FIL and HCL JMO.
