If the Iraqi Govt really does have "hundreds of billions in gold" then they could easily do a large reval to cover the currency in circulation!

Even if it was from the first war....where would it have gone?

Some of the frozen assets are here....

The International Advisory and Monitoring Board (IAMB) is an audit oversight body for the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI).

The DFI was established pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483 and holds the proceeds of petroleum export sales from Iraq, as well as remaining balances from the UN Oil-for-Food Program and other frozen Iraqi funds. Disbursements from the DFI must be used for the benefit of the Iraqi people, and are directed by the Coalition Provisional Authority, in consultation with the Iraqi interim administration. The IAMB will continue to function after the dissolution of the Coalition Provisional Authority on June 30, 2004 and will work with the Interim Government of Iraq, as set out in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1546. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1637 extended the mandate of the IAMB until December 31, 2006.

I agree Ward,
This is definately spin from the left. So close to the elections.
