You can't get your hands on any kind any where. Sooooo what is up and how fast will it be???? Has anyone else tried to just check like I did. Oh! I do have a very nice batch of them, I just wanted to check it out for myself.

Interesting,

And to think some who write about Iraq being worse off now shows how they don't have a clue as to how ruthless Saddam's regime really was.

KRG statement: Crimes of Halabja gassing, Anfal and Arabisation Office of KRG Spokesman Khaled Salih

The Kurdistan Regional Government issues the following statement concerning the crimes that were committed against the people of Kurdistan by the Iraqi government.

17 August 2006, Erbil, Kurdistan – Iraq (KRG) – The people of Kurdistan have been victims of internationally recognised crimes against humanity committed by Iraqi governments, and in particular by the Ba’ath regime led by Saddam Hussein.
Beginning in the 1970s, the Iraqi government carried out an Arabisation or ethnic cleansing programme in Kirkuk, Khanaqin, Sinjar, and other areas inhabited by Kurds, Turkmen and other minorities. Non-Arabs living in Kirkuk were compelled under duress to change their registered nationality in their identity documents to the Arab nationality. Those who refused were forced to leave their homes and lands, and their properties were confiscated. Borders were gerrymandered to consolidate the change in ethnic composition of the governorates. This Arabisation programme of ethnic cleansing continued until 2003.

In 1980, the Iraqi government rounded up some 10,000 young Faili Kurds who disappeared without trace. To this day, their whereabouts are unknown, and it is feared that they were executed by the Iraqi government. During the 1970s and 1980s, the Iraqi government stripped of their nationality and deported to Iran tens of thousands of Faili Kurds, and ill treated, detained and/or murdered many other Faili Kurds.

In 1983, the Iraqi government rounded up some 8,000 boys and men of the Barzani tribe. 22 years after their disappearance, it has been discovered that they were imprisoned in concentration camps in the south of Iraq, executed and buried in mass graves.

At least 182,000 persons from Kurdistan were killed by the Iraqi government during the 1970s and 1980s. The majority of these persons were killed from 1987 to 1989 in the genocidal campaign that the regime officially called Anfal (the Koranic sura justifying the killing and looting of ‘infidels’). In this campaign, the Iraqi government abducted and summarily executed tens of thousands of civilians, including large numbers of women and children, and destroyed over 4,500 villages.

On 16 March 1988, the Iraqi military bombarded the town of Halabja with chemical weapons and nerve agents, including mustard gas, sarin and tabun, killing at least 5,000 civilian men, women and children in one act. The Iraqi military bombarded with chemical weapons several other villages in Kurdistan.
In conducting its genocidal campaign, the Iraqi government destroyed much of the civilian and rural infrastructure in areas inhabited by Kurds, and damaged the environment of Kurdistan.

The Iraqi government ruled the people of Kurdistan through fear, torture and cruelty.

The people of Kurdistan continue to live with the legacy of suffering. The crimes have left behind a generation of women who lost their husbands, and children who lost their fathers, uncles and grandfathers. The Iraqi government’s acts have resulted in illnesses from chemical weapons exposure, unusually high rates of cancer, large numbers of internally displaced persons, and families still fighting to reclaim their homes and lands. Bodies of men, women and children continue to be unearthed from mass graves. In 2005, forensic teams unearthed the remains of members of the Barzani tribe in mass graves. For decades to come, this horrific period of their history will remain in the collective memory of the people of Kurdistan.

These policies and crimes were conceived and conducted by Saddam Hussein and his regime. The Kurdistan Regional Government has sought and will continue to seek justice for the victims through legal, democratic and transparent means. The Kurdistan Regional Government welcomes the trial of Saddam Hussein at the Iraqi Special Tribunal. Justice must be done, and must be seen to be done.

The Kurdistan Regional Government demands that the Iraqi government compensate the victims of the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein’s government, as provided for in the constitution of Iraq.

The Kurdistan Regional Government demands that the Iraqi government fulfil the provisions set out in Article 140 of the constitution of Iraq to resolve the situation in Kirkuk and other Arabised areas. The Kurdistan Regional Government has and will continue to use legal, constitutional and democratic means to seek justice for those whose homes and lands were confiscated under the Arabisation programme.

Well, we also had a funny experience. We ordered more Dinars on Friday from our local bank. We forgot to ask for the smaller denominations, so they ordered the 25,000 notes. When we picked it up on Monday, it seems there weren't enough of the 25,000 notes, and they had to total the ordered amount with a few 10,000 notes.

Hi,

I got the impression from earlier postings that the FIL had been passed and that we foreigners could now invest on their market, is this true? there still appears not have been an official announcement from government.

I thought the revaluation and the announcement of the FIL were to go hand in hand as we can buy everything at present for next to nothing.

We don't know for sure if it has been passed abbey. If it has, they have not announced it yet. That's what we're waiting on. With the FIL comes a fully convertible currency.

I believe the FIL and r/v will be announced at the same time next month!

Are you sure we can cash in OUTSIDE of Iraq

What do you base this knowledge on

More than 5,000 U.S. and Iraqi forces were involved in a recent operation that reduced violence by more than 80 percent in the Dura neighborhood of Baghdad, with the number of murders there dropping to zero since the operations began, Snow said.

"That is the same neighborhood where there were in some cases 20 murders a day," he said. "They cleared more than 3,000 buildings, they arrested 22 detainees, they seized weapons." A five-day sweep in Amariyah produced similar results, Snow said.

U.S. troops patrol Baghdad on foot
By Ross Colvin
17-Aug-06 10:38 BST

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. troops are patrolling the streets in some Baghdad neighbourhoods on foot in a new bid to win the trust of Iraqis, an unusual sight for many residents more used to seeing them travel in armoured vehicle convoys.

Taking a more personal approach to Iraqis long critical of heavy handed tactics is part of the strategy aimed at reclaiming Baghdad's most dangerous neighbourhoods from insurgents and easing communal strife.

Thousands of U.S. reinforcements have arrived in Baghdad in recent weeks to join a crackdown by U.S. and Iraqi forces on worsening sectarian violence between once-dominant minority Sunnis and majority Shi'ites in the city.

Mindful of the three-year-old Sunni insurgency fighting to expel them from Iraqi soil, U.S. commanders explain to residents that they aim to restore security in support of Iraqi police.

"I want to get this job done so I can go home and live with my family and you can live with your family," Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Peterson, commander of the First Squadron, 14th U.S. Cavalry, told one man through his interpreter in al-Hadar, an area of the notoriously violent southern Dora district.

Peterson, whose unit usually travels in Stryker armoured vehicles, had dismounted to talk to residents while his men and Iraqi police swept the neighbourhood for illegal weapons.

"Certainly there is a renewed emphasis on troops interacting with the people," he said when asked whether the U.S. military was adopting a new tactic with the foot patrols.

Since arriving two weeks ago, two Strykers have been hit by roadside bombs, causing no major damage, and several others have been shot at, soldiers said. The unit's base has also been rocketed and mortared. Foot patrols are far more risky.

IRAQI POLICE

Still, Peterson's walkabout appeared to pay off -- residents he spoke to seemed happy to see U.S. soldiers back on the streets in force after months of sectarian violence that has killed thousands and driven thousands more from their homes.

"We feel safe when we see Americans," one man said to him, before pushing Peterson to improve the poor electricity supply, and fix broken sewerage pipes, a list of complaints repeated often and one Peterson promised to take to the district council.

In many of his conversations, he stressed the role of Iraqi police in helping to restore security, a bid to boost the reputation of a force viewed by most Sunnis as an extension of the Shi'ite militias they blame for much of the recent violence.

"I am hoping this mission with the national police will stop people being killed in future," he assured one man who told him his father had been killed in a drive-by shooting this week.

But police are widely viewed as poorly trained, politicised and less competent than the Iraqi military, a concern U.S. officials hope to address by retraining and embedding advisers.

And in a city where militias and criminal gangs often wear police uniforms, winning the trust of Iraqis is vital.

Many of the policemen taking part in the raid on al-Hadar were young, appeared uncertain, and wore a variety of camouflage uniforms and helmets.

"There is still work to be done, but every day they are getting better and better," Peterson said.

Moments later, a tearful woman dragging a boy behind her came out of her house to complain to the colonel that policemen stole her mobile phone while searching her home.

"It is quite common for people to come up to me and say a policeman or soldier stole something, but it is hard for me to prove that," he said later.
