Remember somewhere it was theorized that Iraq may first have an Internal Reval. Not knowing what that means exactly, my common sense says, purely within Iraq. Testing the waters to see how it affects the population as opposed the to 'Market'.

SGS and others who have contacts over there - I would advise them to hold the check. Here in the USA a check can be held for 6 months before it is outdated. If they wait to cash it in it would be worth more when it does hit the External Market - NO? Just thinking out loud.

I would also wonder that being as we have never heard any mention of that clandestine NEWS BRIEFING a couple of weeks ago- remember? the same day Talibani was on satelite broadcast. Well maybe the Press ahve been sitting on it like an egg about to hatch.

OK SGS what ever the SDR shuffle is - Im in - can we do it in the caymens - let the corriographie begin!
