1. Gates and the cia will have no bearing on the value of the R/V.
2. Reagan did not negotiate with Iran to hold the hostages. (Iran--Contra sadly yes 6 years later )The Democratic congress investigated.
Senate Investigation
The US Senate’s 1992 report concluded that "by any standard, the credible evidence now known falls far short of supporting the allegation of an agreement between the Reagan campaign and Iran to delay the release of the hostages".
Fellow members from around the world read this forum and might believe the half truths and outright lies sometimes said on this forum.
As said on this forum:
"a lie is half way around the world before the truth can get his pants on"
i am just helping the truth catch up. !
thanks

Man Bigred52, go ahead and bury your head in the sand if you want to. First of all I did not say that Gates and the CIA will have any affect upon the dinar. I was giving his appointment as an example of the plans within plans that governments have. In this particular case I was commenting upon how an insider such as Gates has been appointed to a position that the opposition party (Dems) should be opposing. Gates appointment is a win for the Republicans, not the Democrats. Gates is old school Republican. There was no direct correlation between him and the Dinar. That being said, neither I nor you know what his appointment may mean for Iraq.

As far as IranContra goes, from one Republican to another (well I assume you are a Republican), lets admit something here. The deal for hostages was done, despite what the official record says (by the way IranContra is different from the Iranian Hostage Crisis-the latter dealt with the 1979 hostage crisis, while IranContra was about money to support the Nicaraguan Contras by selling weapons and parts to Iran in the early 80's, many people confuse the two, but the Iranian contacts that were made during the 1979 hostage crisis by guys like Mr. Gates were the same group of Iranians that made the later IranContra deal with our guys). Many of those involved have admitted that it was done. Sanctioned or not I am glad it was done. Now if you choose not to do some research that is your problem, but please have the decency to refrain from calling me a liar when you don't know what you are talking about. If you are going to take that approach then I guess you believe that Billy never stained Monica's dress either, as he was never convicted during his impeachment (edited for danny51). Can't have it both ways partner. Both of the parties lie and cheat, so why are you choosing to blind yourself to this? If you really want to get to the truth you first have to stop lying to yourself. I have choosen to tell myself the truth. What about you?

Wow lots of oil stuff tonite

The Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih today, Saturday, the near completion of the preparation of the oil-entitling the central government's distribution of the incomes of oil present and future impact on the provinces and territories.

و .He said in press statements quoted by the Associated Press that he could not set a timetable on the expiry date of the law drafting and approval.

Thank you SGS. That helps me get it.

"Do you know the time frame the Kuwait dinar took to go from .10 to 3.00?
And was it an immediate revalue like we're hoping for?? Thanks"

I don't think it is wise to try to compare what happened to the value of the Kuwait Dinar to the situation in Iraq. Kuwait was a rich nation, with substantial reserves and a healthy infrastructure and economy prior to Saddam's invading the country and setting the Oil fields on fire. The markets lost faith in the currency during this period, same way the US markets began to nose dive after 9-11, although on a far greater scale. When the US drove Iraq out in the Gulf War, Kuwait returned to a stable Government, leadership and healthy, al beit damaged, economic structure. The Kuwaiti dinar returned to it's pre war level in a short period of time, and rightly so. The Kuwaiti Dinar is worth more like $3.47 today.

I also asked about cashing them in and after being on hold for him to get a definate answer, I was told that I could not sell them back even if I purchased the dinars from there. Anyone being told this too?

Today I paid for another order of 2 Million Dinar at my neighborhood Chase Bank in Denver...No problems at all. It was about 11:00AM Mountain Time, 12/09/2006.
