Iraqi maintenance at a base NW of Baghdad are saying they have heard rumor the money will be received next month. Again...this is only local information.

Next month is in 2 days!

How do you think these poor people feel who are waiting for this 'Brucie Bonus', not only do they have to wait but will they really only give them $7!

Any news from the meetings today? it seems something going on in the right directions =)

Yes sir it is.
I can imagine they are not too impressed having to wait but hopefully in the end...it'll be worth waiting for.

ha ha ha! Very good. You have no idea. Without glasses or contacts I am a danger to myself and others. Last "offsubject" post before being evicted, I did a full pack romp into the Grand Canyon a few years ago, and it was nearly the death of me. It was only two cold Tecate beers in the cooler in the trunk of the car that pulled me up out of the hole. The CAYMANS will be much better for a good party! xoxoxoxoxoxox

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Saddam lawyers walk out of trial


Saddam lawyers walk out of trial
Saddam Hussein in court, 30 Oct 2006
Saddam Hussein rejected court-appointed lawyers
Defence lawyers for Saddam Hussein have walked out of court after requests made in an apparent end to their boycott of his genocide trial were turned down.

The ousted Iraqi president's trial on charges of genocide against the Kurds resumed after a break for Ramadan.

Chief defence lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi said the proceedings lacked the "conditions for a fair trial".

In a separate trial, a verdict is due on Sunday. Mr al-Dulaimi has warned of civil war if a death sentence is given.

Saddam Hussein and six other defendants are charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity for a 1987-88 offensive against Iraq's Kurdish population.

Prosecutors say some 180,000 people died during the Anfal offensive.

'Your Excellency'

Defence lawyers had been boycotting the trial after the sacking of the previous presiding judge for alleged bias towards Saddam Hussein.

On Monday, Mr al-Dulaimi filed 12 requests, including that the court should allow non-Iraqi lawyers to attend the trial without prior court permission, and that the court investigate an alleged beating of one of the defendants by court bailiffs.

He also clashed with Judge Mohammad al-Khalifa over the judge's order that Mr al-Dulaimi stop referring to Saddam Hussein as "Mr President" and "your Excellency".

The court appointed lawyers to represent Saddam Hussein after his lawyers left, but the former president rejected them.

On Sunday, Mr al-Dulaimi warned of the consequences of a death sentence against Saddam Hussein in the trial over the deaths of nearly 150 Shia civilians from the town of Dujail in 1982.

Mr al-Dulaimi told the Associated Press that he had recently written to US President George W Bush: "I warned him against the death penalty and against any other decision that would inflame a civil war in Iraq and send fire throughout the region."

A verdict in the Dujail trial is thought likely on 5 November.



It will be interesting to see what kind of impact there is if Sadam is given the death sentance. I personally can not see it causing civil war, but I am sure there would be some that would be upset.

When the reval occurs is there someone on here that is appointed to let the uninformed (me) know? Or will I be here rolling pennies, while all of you will be at the bank?

Also, would the outcome of this be kind of like lottery winners? Would we have to change our phone numbers..etc?

and one more?...Would it be safe to go by myself to the bank? My dinars are currently in a safety deposit bank, but husband is a pilot so I most likely would be doing this alone with my two kids.

Thanks in advance.

OK guys and dolls at what point do we paper are walls with these notes dates for RV come and go how long are we to give it.

I did buy them in the hope they would RV in 5 years time but all this talk of soon as got me twitching for it to happen now, what does anyone else feel about the time scale

I dont think there is a need to rush to the bank. We dont know what the reval value is likely to be yet, you may want to wait. Of course if you wait it most likely will go up further, so personally, I think I may sit on the fence for a while

We have to agree that all the signs are looking very hopeful. A great deal has happened and is happening right now as we speak. I think we could see progress any time now, and as we are now nearly in November that hopefully will be the month.

I would like to know some more opinions of what the 2 and 3 year investors think. How do they think progress on the dinar is going. I think the last three years must have been hell for them, i have only been in since beginning of April and not a day has gone by when I havent thought of the words D I N A R and R E V A L
