When the post stated that the CBI president wanted to take care of the "indirect Investors first". He was talking about us. How much is he going to have to pay to get us to turnin our Dinar? Thats why I liked the post about an RV around .04 cents. A lot of dinar would be retrieved at that level. Like another said, "those that have this investment will make money, those that hold over time will be rich. So, I wouldn't worry about the price going down. There are too many players in the world who want this country to win "big time". Lots of financial support. So lets calm down and enjoy the ride. Its not over yet. Thank You.

Mr Knowles , dont you agree that the Soros' of the world will buy the entire money supply of iraq if it revs at .04 ??? Wouldnt the cbi be better served if they just "bit the bullet" and paid us indirect investors off at 1:1 or > ?
Thanks

Then you finally get the 42 virgins, then you have 42 honeymoons and then all you do is sit around and say "been there done that"

And the REAL problem is.... theres a reason those virgins are virgins... and its not because they are smoking hot! Imagine strapping a bomb to yourself , blowing it up, except you dont die right away , it takes awhile and youre in hellish pain , only to finally bite the big one and find yourself in the arms of some hairy, mustached , 12-falafel-eating , bloated, greasy.... you get the picture...

I am recieving complaints with this. I know we are having fun but, we do have others that are schooling from this (Like Kids). Also lets keep the Dong in the Dong Forum Please. Thank You.

Mosque Burnings Apparently a Hoax, Sunni Burnings Unconfirmed

Tales of burning mosques, like this one from Reuters were apparently fabricated by Sunnis and swallowed whole by a gullible world press.
As well, the sensationalized accounts of six Sunnis being burned alive by Shiites are unconfirmed, and all appear to come from the same source, police Captain Jamil Hussein, whose entire career appears to be issuing statements about Shia violence against Sunnis. Curt at Flopping Aces has researched Hussein and found a remarkable number of atrocity stories for which he is the source.

From the Multi-National Force's Iraqi Freedom website:
BAGHDAD — Contrary to recent media reporting that four mosques were burned in Hurriya, an Iraqi Army patrol investigating the area found only one mosque had been burned in the neighborhood...
...An alleged attack on a fourth mosque remains unconfirmed. The patrol was also unable to confirm media reports that six Sunni civilians were allegedly dragged out of Friday prayers and burned to death. Neither Baghdad police nor Coalition forces have reports of any such incident.

This is all uncomfortably reminiscent of the Reutersgate/fauxtography scandal during the Israeli/Hezbollah war, and once again brings into question just how much Western news agencies have compromised their integrity by depending on unvetted local stringers and sources.

The Jawa Report: Mosque Burnings Apparently a Hoax, Sunni Burnings Unconfirmed

The source clearly has a right wing slant, however, the arguments they put forth seem very plausible. I had been suspecting all along that these reports of 'atrocities' against Sunni Arabs are either fabricated or exaggerated in order to divert attention for the true massacres in Madinat al Thawra.
