3. No auctions since Monday.
4. Kurdish Satellite News shows people with a credit-card-sized blue piece of paper that they are all just uber-stoked about having.
5. GBush (the user) is apparently is a wealth of misinformation
6. When the three-legged, one-eyed wolf howls on a moon-less night, we'll see a reval.

Did I miss anything?

And how do I get one of those snazzy blue credit-card-sized pieces of paper. They seem like happiness in your pocket. And let's keep it out of the gutter, please. :þ

Maybe it's just these guys ---->

All countries have a central bank.

Other countries can use .gov but it is followed by the country’s initials, see the examples below.
Argentina: bcra.gov.ar

Bolivia: bcb.gov.bo/sitio/introduccion

Israel: bankisrael.gov.il

Jordan: cbj.gov.jo

Kuwait: cbk.gov.kw

Not all countries use a .gov for their central bank web address, see for yourself at… Central bank websites

Kudos...

Wow! If "auctions stopped" was not a faltering of translation, then it gives some real weight to the idea that it marks the end of the CB auctions as we have known them. I admit that this abrupt tactic of website discontinuation is not exactly the method most of us would have chosen, but who cares, right?!

WHEW!! Finally caught up! 2 1/2 hours reading...gee you guys are the busy little bees aren't you?

Just wanted to post the past CBI auction rates if anyone is interested:

1471.26 IQD to 1 USD 10/10/06
1470.26 IQD to 1 USD 10/11/06
1470.26 IQD to 1 USD 10/12/06
1469.26 IQD to 1 USD 10/15/06
1469.26 IQD to 1 USD 10/16/06

Cheers!

I feel like the reval is close, so if I'm right, then I'll start a hotline!!

why would they be so happy with just $6.80 in their pocket?????? isn't that about a tank of gas.....

Got a e-mail from my friends brother today. He said that he hasn't heard anything. No news is being told. Wish there was more to report.

Hope R/V is soon.

After a reval, it will be worth a lot more than a tank of gas to them
