The price of gas in Iraq to 400%. Food prices rose to higher. The lives of Iraqis are not only difficult, but become unbearable.
According to the American administration in Washington, and customers in the Iraqi government, the reason is due to inflation rather than other Iraqis, including the Iraqi government. Ask Washington and its clients in Baghdad, the inventor of all this misery? It Ijibounk resistance. Not occupying American forces responsible, and the Iraqis and their agents. And rampant corruption at all levels of government related to the occupation. More importantly, such conditions are not mandatory lifting of the unfair prices demanded by the International Monetary Fund, which plunged his hands Aloschtan is another in the quagmire of Iraq when a package of strict standards of austerity "to the people, not the government or the financiers Fund," Flash enthusiastically adopting expedited procedures for the privatization of all state institutions. The privatization must take place before they are at a later stage to place the Iraqi oil industry to the private sector.

In the midst of growing hopes for executives in the major oil companies to achieve real coup in the Iraqi oil industry, The Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq investors that the Iraqi Parliament is currently working on a draft law granting legitimacy to the implementation of the "enormous investments" by the private sector.

You can easily betting that there are large numbers of pigs of all nationalities, waiting to fill stomachs of this oil burner manger. You can also bet that the vast majority of these pigs will be one of the men of the oil Americans and mediators oil young Iraqis who are accustomed to the struggle for theft, looting and corruption are indifferent to moral considerations. without any account of any individual or organization.
What you can Tinoa than what President George W. Bush when he addressed the American public opinion, saying : the reason lies in that inevitable "victory" of the United States in Iraq. so that it can not "terrorists" from the control of oil supplies? Do you think that the American Administration is another reason for the indifference to those numbers of soldiers who die in Iraq - oil? Is this reasonable cause to die a lot in order to win the prize of Iraqi oil?

On Sunday, September 10, 2006, the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister, Barham Salih group of the so-called "donor" Western "that did not transfer the oil investors, or if you prefer, low-Kharj "with Al-Kharj are the North American who diagnosed to the southern states, It is not with him in what eject, petition for personal profit following the American Civil War.

Iraq will need to work with top international companies under production-sharing agreements, according to the "Group of social justice and environmental PLATFORM, the London-based, the production-sharing agreements are contracts between multinational oil companies and host governments. the company would provide the capital needed for investment, for control of the oil field, in addition to the large share of revenues field. "These contracts usually take between 25 to 40 years or forever. They include not just basic expressions in the language of the country, where they are described as the owner of the host government. The foreign company as a contractor or contracting. But despite the expressions of this language, the production-sharing agreements do not differ in terms of practice and implementation of the "old way of concession agreements" Furthermore, often these conventions include the so-called "stability paragraphs" that restrict future governments whatever form of a change or termination of the Convention.

Exact details of the agreements oil, or conventions fruition in the West, and how will be shared production, More importantly, the profits are still vague until now not talking about one.
However, the regime in Baghdad is supposed to be now on the verge of preparedness for a long-awaited new law on oil and oil products. This will allow the law "if they did not insist on the establishment of foreign companies" to invest huge funds in the Iraqi oil sector. Everyone is following the events in Iraq since the Gzth the United States knows that this law is not only to Tfrekha predated by the first civilian governor of dollars to Iraq in the post-Saddam Iraq. namely, Paul Bremer.

The intention here is to assist the Iraqi masses. That, to fill the pockets of various politicians and businessmen at a time when Iraqis are the (essentially) the integration of oil companies, American and British force in the Iraqi oil sector. As indicated above, the privatization of the oil industry will be the final step in a series of moves aimed at the destruction of what remains of the foundations of the Iraqi economy and to the Iraqis by subsidies and support, and that made him one of the most prosperous countries in the Middle East before the end of the Iran-Iraq war and of the right of the American invasion in 1991 and penalties. The problem lies in the Washington political and military realities outside the Green Zone in Baghdad. The military leaders in the development of American Marines in Iraq, the administration in Washington the difficult position that the statements issued contradictory and sometimes conflicting, subsequently led to a series of denials, denials and explanations by the military because of the statements made in the summer of 2006 alleging that they do not have enough troops in Iraq to inflict defeat the resistance.

We have been increasing the number of American military personnel to 147.000 within the past eight weeks. , Or an increase of 20.000 military since the end of July 2006 in spite of this, the leaders of Marines in Iraq are still reported to their superiors that they need at least 10 to 15 thousand additional troops in Anbar province alone. And then will be able to point virtual defeated the resistance.

Increasing the size of forces along with lack of success (if not failure) of the United States and their clients to achieve any progress in the battle between them to end the insurgency terribly reminiscent of the years 1965-1968 in Vietnam, when the number of troops to the high levels reached 500.000 soldier in 1968 and the only thing shown by the American forces and the forces of South Vietnam of this increase rise in the number of casualties in its ranks. Here, I remember a wise saying : maximum stupidity that is doing the same thing again and again and expect different results.
But, as long as the real American goal in Iraq linked to control of Iraq's oil resources, there will be an American military forces in this country, unless the price is, of course, an overwhelming military defeat, by force, or force to withdraw because of the opposition of intensive and coordinated within the United States. American citizens do not have an effective influence to prevent the first possibility, the second Vklh depends on us.

as we all know we are close enough to taste this. However, I want to remind people that until either the CBI exchange rate shows a new rate, or the FX shows a new rate we will not hear about a revalue. WE (us investors) may be small fish in a big ocean....BUT everyone of us would run to the bank and get more dinar. Maybe I am wrong and they don't care if we pick up a few more million,

I'm sure the exchange would be adjusted before any announcement! That is why we are now on suicide watch! Cause it could happen at any moment! That would be between now and I would guess 10/24/2006!

So we have Christmans, or New Years, thereabouts, when Iraq should per plan be in a condition of having the bigger debts taken care of, and the foregin oil investors being in full swing.

ECONOMIC RELIEF INVOLVES RECOVERING WHICH CANT BE DONE INTERNALLY. IT REQUIRES JOBS, AND PAY TO START SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, AND TAXES BEING PAID ON HIGHER INCOMES, AND INCOMES THAT FACILITATE SPENDING SPENDING SPENDING.

IT TAKES MONEY TO MAKE MONEY!!!!!!

Remeber that WHEN it happens, this will not be a mark in time, when the Dinars have "done it's thing" , this will only be the time when the actuall Dinar race begins.

THAT will be the game, where you sit and watch , consider holding or selling, se it go up, and down , hold it for a bit more, see it go up again, and so on. You might want to cash in when it is in anohter range, but it might be plateuing in still another range. That's the REAL Dinar game.

Right now we're just sitting with our race cars in the pit, waiting for the rain to stop and the officials can start the race.

if roger wants to save iraq he better turn his timepiece up a little faster. inflation in the month of august jumped from 52% to 70% and it isnt dropping since. IRAQ CANT RECOVER ECONOMICALLY WITHOUT FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND THEY CANT HAVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT FOR .00068 OF A DOLLAR. AT THAT RATE THEY WOULDNT RECOVER A CUP OF COFFEE.

were sooo close i can taste it weeeeeeeeee wooooooootoootottt

Therefore I hope that they are keeping a 2nd set of books with the r/v'd amount or else their numbers are going to far exceed their dinars in circulation which would cause them to have to reprint more dinars. I thought our govt spending was out of control. Has anyone kept count of all the announced plans they have been putting out lately? It is huge so I hope that they are working with 2 sets of books and have international backing to subsidize their spending.

each one of those figures is not quoted in dinar. some are quoted in usd amounts. if it has a dollar sign in front of it $ they are talking about usd.

read those amounts of oil they get out of the ground DAILY and take the gross figures for that from their documents and you will see how they are paying for things.

why wont this work instead of revaluing the dinar? because their currency IN COUNTRY is dinar. when you are dealing with foreign imports you can pay for those things in dollars very easily. when you are dealing with intranational spending you are talkin about dinar in the case with iraq. dinar is how their economy circulates and what inflation is based on mainly.

watch the articles and dont count the dollar figures in dinar calculations.
