You know Bill its a tough crowd out there and I can't understand why.....We all want the same thing and most folks bring some tidbit that either encourages or sheds light on this matter. There is enough hell in the world why bring it here too?.... I too appreciate the people here and thank you as well for your contributions.

This site was mentioned on the 198 page document someone found and posted. It is where most of the facts came from for the report. I can't get anything to open and thought I would post it here in case someone wanted to give it a try. May hold some useful info for us.

Hi Piper, I completely agree with you. After all, we've read about how they want to get the dinar up to par with it's neighboring nations currency. I do believe that the nations currencies around Iraq is a great deal more than 4 lousy cents. I remember someone posted an article on here that in some places the oil is only 10 feet deep!!! You can get to that with a shovel !!!! Oil companies are watering at the mouth. No one can tell me that their currency is only worth 4 cents, it's just ridiculous!!

We arrived at the Chase branch on 41st Street, the same place I have made my last three purchases right at opening time. We walked in and a lady that I have spoken to, and recognized me, asked if I "was there to purchase foreign currency". I told her yes and then she said their new rule was that they couldn't sell it to me unless I had an account with them and had had it open for a year. I just smiled and we walked out. I told my buddy the sources are all drying up. After that, we went to Bank of American at 71st & Memorial to find out if it was true since my last visit if BOA was in fact dealing in dinar. Dead End! No problem, at least not for me, because I was there to make purchases for someone else and to help someone else purchase MORE. We headed back to where we left his truck parked and since I had some other banking business to do at a Stillwater National Bank and I remembered one of the clerks telling me some time back that they would be able to order dinar for me, but it would take 10 days to 2 weeks to come in because they have to order through Bank of America. I thought, why not, we're getting close. One of the tellers went to check with a supervisor and after a few minutes she came back and said that they couldn't order it and that they had called BOA and were told that they couldn't get anymore either. Hey friends and family, WE ARE ALMOST THERE!

Any other place requireing one year bank account?

Old news but interesting to say the least. I haven't seen these figures before.

Remember the picture that was posted about the dollar bill on the side of soldier's patrol vehicle? Heres the story behind it:

Hi Everyone,

Well it looks like Iraq is getting there ducks in a row and the Terrorists know it. I think that is why we have seen more violence. I think this big meeting in Jordan is the final piece of the puzzle. I believe this will be the signing of the Compact and hopefully the enactment of the FIL, HCL and article 8. I am not buying the .04 deal but who knows I will not be selling any Dinars at that price. I will be very happy even if it starts at .04 because it would have started the process of the quick increase of value IMO.

UNITED NATIONS - Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has asked the U.N. Security Council to extend the mandate of the 160,000-strong multinational force in Iraq, according to a letter circulated Monday.

In the letter, al-Maliki said a top priority of his government is to assume full responsibility for security and stability but it needs more time.

The United States circulated a draft resolution that would extend the mandate for one year starting on Dec. 31, with a a review at the request of the Iraqi government or by June 15.

The draft, obtained Monday by the Associated Press, contains the same provision as past resolutions — a commitment that the council "will terminate this mandate earlier if requested by the government of Iraq."

Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. Mission, said since the Iraqis requested the extension "we don't expect there to be any problems with it."

Al-Maliki's request for the one-year extension with a termination clause came as the U.S. administration stepped up diplomatic efforts to stabilize the country, certain to be a top item on the agenda when President Bush meets al-Maliki later this week in Amman, Jordan.

Sectarian violence in Iraq is at its worst level in the 3 1/2 years since a U.S.-led coalition invaded the country and toppled Saddam Hussein.

Bush's summit comes as members of the Iraq Study Group mull recommendations for changes in U.S. war policy that would help restore peace and security and enable the United States to reduce its contingent of 141,000 troops.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan warned Monday that Iraq is close to civil war.

"I think given the developments on the ground, unless something is done drastically and urgently to arrest the deteriorating situation, we could be there," Annan said. "In fact we are almost there."

Annan held a teleconference with members of the study panel Monday afternoon. Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown and top U.N. envoy Ashraf Qazi have also spoken to the group, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

Al-Maliki gave no timetable for a takeover of military and security operations. But he said the government is committed to increasing the number of governorates fully under the control of Iraqi authorities until all 18 are under their control. This year, Iraqi forces took responsibility for security in the governorates of Al Muthanna and Dhi Qar.

"Establishing security and securing permanent stability are among the highest priorities of the Iraqi government's program to realize the desired peace and prosperity for the Iraqi people," al-Maliki said. "However, terrorists and forces hostile to democracy continue to target innocent citizens and the various state institutions."

The prime minister stressed that "security and stability in Iraq are the responsibility of the Iraqi government."

Over the past 2 1/2 years, Iraqi security forces have acquired new responsibilities and experience, and have grown in size and ability which has been demonstrated "by their increased ability to assume full responsibility in the fields of security and defense," he said.

In September 2006, al-Maliki said the Ministry of Defense assumed operational command of the ground, naval and air force commands as well as two military divisions.

When Iraqis assume responsibility for security in new governorates, the multinational forces have agreed they will be present at Iraqi bases to provide support if requested, he said.

"We have agreed on three common goals: first, assumption by Iraq of recruiting, training, equipping and arming of Iraqi security forces; second, assumption by Iraq of command and control over Iraqi forces; and third, transferring responsibility for security to the government of Iraq," al-Maliki said.

He said a high-level working group has been formed to make recommendations on achieving these goals.

"It has also been agreed to work toward the Iraqi authorities' assuming the apprehension, detention and imprisonment tasks on the basis of an agreement to be reached between the government of Iraq and the multinational force," al-Maliki said.

"Hence, the Iraqi government requests the extension of the mandate of the multinational force ... for another 12 months."

Al-Maliki also requested one-year extensions for the International Advisory and Monitoring Board and the Development Fund for Iraqi until Dec. 31, 2007. The Security Council authorized the board in May 2003 to ensure the "transparent" operation of the Development Fund, which was set up to receive Iraq's oil revenue and frozen assets from Saddam's regime and is now controlled by the Iraqi government.

The prime minister also reiterated Iraq's call for the council to stop using the country's oil revenue to pay compensation to victims of the 1991 Gulf War and the salaries of U.N. weapons inspectors.
