I'm going to post the result part of the article along with the link below...

The conversion to a new currency is a significant accomplishment that is giving the Iraqi people a chance to attain financial freedom in a modern market economy. This project represents a major economic and logistic effort in Iraq. With the conversion to a new, single currency, one of the last, daily reminders of Saddam Hussein’s rule is being eliminated. The new Iraqi currency has earned the confidence of the Iraqi people – it is being used throughout the nation and has not only held its value, it has strengthened. The currency exchange will put Iraq on the path to full membership in the global economy. A stable Iraqi currency will encourage countries interested in trading with Iraq and businesses wanting to invest in the country.

Just heard that are going to start giving out the 10000 dinar tommorow. What a slap in the face...what is this worth...nothing. Hardly enought to buy food for one family for one meal. Meanwhile our government grows wealthy and fat. Half of them do not even show up when they are supposed to..yet they still are paid. Our government is more concerned with lining their pockets then helping the iraqi people. I am not a Saddam loyalist...he is getting what he deserves. I jusy know things were better for my family before the americans took over

The message was from yesterday, so it meant it should go out today. It is the same as the news we already have read.

We need proof that it is going out from the ground so that people are actually receive it.

(sorry couldn't resist) because they don't have running water and sewuer...... I remember someone stating a week maybe 2 weeks ago that the iraqi members of parlament have a salary and were getting paid in US DOLLARS of around $5,000 a month is that true???? Thats a shitte load of dinar a month.....If it is no wonder they are in no big hurry to RV this......talk about greed and coruption...SGS have you heard and know of this or anyone?? Can any of you confirm this??? Its gonna happen one day and hopefully soon as of now im remaing optomistic on the fact of it rVing anyday now......I will now be wating on the HLC law that supposed to be passed by the end of the year to stay in compliance to the IMF....and now for iraq to be where they need to be at the end of the year which is 1345iqd=$1us to stay in compliance. That is a facking joke....but hey this is iraq where the violence in the capital bagshitte is horrible and there not the brightest of people and corupt wankers
Something will happen soon but what and how soon

I feel the same way. It is tiring to think they every other day the RV will happen - Iraq is still fairly unstable. Most of them if they are educated are corrupt, the uneducated are barbaric. I pray that things change for them, I think that some want change - others are just too angry and stuborn to realize the inevitable truth. Still, with the changes that we have seen in our own government in the US, it is obvious that things are going to be moving along rapidly now. That is wonderful for everyone involved -especially our troops to get the hell out of dodge.
I feel they should put the Batthists(sp) back into office replacing the sunnis who are threating to leave do to their agenda not being met. This woudl serve to quell some of the violence. As for the Kurds. Great work-can a reval help for them to continue on as the model for Iraq as was predicted in the past. The only problem still is the division of the revenues.
Last night I went on to some Iraq chat rooms. Straight from the horses mouths you can sense their true feelings about the situation in Iraq. This is real (not Journalism) Go check some of the chat rooms for yourself.

For me I feel the need to step away from all the WOOT la! Focus on realtime reallife situations. I am sure my brother will tell me when something is stirring up. Blessing to all you and yours and to everyone in Iraq, and to our investment and our dreams to come true soon.

Marlene in NY

Hmmmmmmm record highs to record lows...I smell a reval....

Hundreds of companies take part in international fair in northern Iraq
12/11/2006
Source: Herald Tribune

Hundreds of companies from around the world looking for opportunities in Iraq took part Saturday in an international fair in this city in the relatively peaceful Kurdish north.

The fair, organized by the Iraqi American chamber of commerce, was inaugurated by Nechirvan Barzani, the prime minister of Kurdistan's regional government.

Some 370 companies from around the world including 50 from Germany and 24 from Italy, were taking part in the four-day conference.

Most of the companies specialize in infrastructure and construction, badly need projects that have been held up by unsafe conditions in Iraq and the U.N. sanctions regime before that.

Unlike the rest of Iraq, the three Kurdish provinces in the north are safe and tightly controlled by tens of thousands of local peshmerga militiamen.

The region became essentially autonomous and not under the control of Saddam Hussein after the 1991 Gulf War, when the U.S. imposed a no-fly zone over the region and kept Iraqi forces out. After the fall of his regime in April 2003 the militias secured the area despite some bloody attacks that left hundreds of people killed.

"I am very happy that that this international fair is being held on the land of Kurdistan," Barzani told The Associated Press after officially opening the fair.

"Whoever wants to invest in this region is welcome," Barzani said.

The executive director of the Iraqi American chamber of commerce, Raad Ammar, said the fair was being held for the second consecutive year in Sulaimaniyah.

"This fair shows that reconstruction conference can be held on our land and not abroad so that all Iraqis come and take part," said Ammar, who is an Arab.

Before 1991 the Baghdad fair that had been held annually starting in 1964 and drew exhibitors from an average of some 50 countries. It was one of the major trade shows in the Arab world.

Since then participation dropped as Iraq suffered under the 13-year crippling economic sanctions imposed in 1990 to punish Saddam for his invasion of Kuwait.

The last major fair to be held in Baghdad took place in 2002 with the participation of large number of foreign companies, including some western firms that came privately rather than under government sponsorship.

After the fall of Saddam Baghdad became too dangerous for foreigners to come and take part in fairs.
