You have no idea what another person's situation is. You assume that some people are over extended because of investing in the dinar. Did anyone give you a cyrstal ball to look into someone else's life. You pompous *****. This is life and it happens; and some times, circumstances beyond our control causes people hardships. I know that this is a good investment for everyone that decided to invest in it. They planted a seed and it will grow and make a return for them. In the meantime, we keep living and dealing with life's situations because we don't have a choice. It is easy to say that we have compassion for the iraqi people that are suffering and for our soldiers that are caught in this war zone for our freedom and for the iraqi people and others in the world, but is it so hard to show some compassion for those that are right here at home that may be having a hard time today? Remember, the wind won't blow up the same dog's as*** everyday. The wind will shift directions and when it does, you just may be the one fanning flies off your as** no matter now carefully you planned your finances. I hope you stay in good health and of a sound mind, I got a feeling a few people will remember what an assumptive butt you have been when others were in need and "pay back" is a beatch. This is the season that we express our love to one another, which we should always, love our neighbors as our selves, if you want a reference to that one, pick up the bible, its there in print. The bible says that we should look on that of another man and not of our own, not to be envious, but sometimes, Mr. "I have it all together", see if there is someone that you can be a blessing to instead of looking down your nose at people. You can respond to this if you wish but I won't answer you any more, I have wasted enough time responding to your ignorance; and besides, no matter what I say or anyone else for that matter, you are who you are and your opinion is what it is; I am just hoping that the wind shifts real soon and blows that smirk right off your face.

Now Gang, How Bout an RV!!!!

Iraq oil law talks delayed

Read my lips, RV right-now!

Reuters, December 13, 2006
An Iraqi government committee drafting an oil law has failed to agree whether regions or the centre should sign deals on foreign investment and it is up to political leaders to find a solution, sources said.

'We are trying to reach a compromise formula,' he said. ( Really? )

The contracts issue is vital to Iraq's future as a solution favouring the regions would devolve power over its most valuable resources to the majority Shi'ites and the Kurds, who inhabit regions with oilfields, weakening the central government.

'The law now awaits more talks between the Iraqi government and the Kurdish region,' Oil Ministry spokesman Asim Jihad said.

The industry desperately needs foreign investment to revive the shattered economy, which relies heavily on oil export revenues. Iraq sits on the world's third largest crude reserves.

Minority Sunni Arabs, who were the dominant group under Saddam Hussein before the US-led invasion in 2003, fear regional devolution will leave them with nothing.

Even though the Shi'ites are dominant in the southern region also containing major oilfields, they have so far also opposed the Kurdish stance in the talks.

'The first round of the talks has failed, now we are waiting for the second round,' a senior oil industry source said.

The Oil Committee which includes the oil minister, has agreed on more than 90 per cent of the law.

Salih, who said talks would resume in a few days, was hopeful the Iraqi officials would overcome their differences. (AH ha, there is some HOPE!)

He said the committee had agreed on oil revenue sharing and on restructuring of the industry, which he called key issues.

'We have not failed. The talks will resume in few days, the oil law is the priority for the government,' he said.

Iraqi officials have always said that the law will be delivered to the parliament to ratify by the end of December. (Really now, are we being baited?)

Salih said officials were working hard to meet the deadline.

Last weeks news rehashed from what I'm told. Nothing to see here.

For all we know , they may be Nigerian or Russian scammers trying a new tactic, especially now during the Season of Giving. They know that some peeps just have a hard time saying "NO!" to any request , worthy or not. And once again, a breach of forum rules as well. And its not enuf to just put these types on ignore either, altho I have certainly done that.

And now , to STAY on topic , this:

Total offers for selling (US $) ------ -----

Gooo, CBI! Onward and upward .

South Dakota senator hospitalized By MARY CLARE JALONICK, Associated Press Writer
47 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson (news, bio, voting record) of South Dakota was hospitalized after becoming disoriented Wednesday, weeks before his party is to take control of the Senate by a one-vote margin.

ADVERTISEMENT

Johnson, who turns 60 on Dec. 28, was admitted to George Washington University Hospital with an undiagnosed illness, said a spokeswoman, Julianne Fisher.

She said, however, the senator did not suffer a stroke or heart attack. His office had said earlier it was a possible stroke.

Fisher said Johnson would undergo further tests at the hospital Wednesday night. She said his office did not plan any more updates on his condition until Thursday.

Democrats won a 51-49 majority in the November election. South Dakota's Republican governor, Mike Rounds, would appoint a replacement to serve until the 2008 election should Johnson die or resign.

Johnson became disoriented during a conference call with reporters at midday Wednesday, stuttering in response to a question.

Before he ended the call, Johnson appeared to recover and asked if there were any additional questions.

Fisher said he then walked back to his Capitol office but appeared to not be feeling well. The Capitol physician came to his office and examined him, and it was decided he should go to the hospital.

He was taken to the hospital by ambulance around noon, Fisher said.

"It was caught very early," she said.

In its earlier statement, Johnson's office had said he had suffered a possible stroke and was "undergoing a comprehensive evaluation by the stroke team."

Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid of Nevada went to the hospital to check on Johnson. He called Johnson a "dear friend to me and to all of us here in the Senate."

The White House also issued a statement wishing him a speedy recovery. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Senator Johnson and his family," said spokesman Alex Conant.

If the Senate is split 50-50, the vice president breaks ties. That is Republican Dick Cheney at present. Johnson is up for re-election in 2008.

South Dakota Secretary of State Chris Nelson said there are no special restrictions on such an appointment by the governor and a replacement would not have to be from the same political party.

Johnson, a centrist Democrat, was first elected to the Senate in 1996 and has been one of the more reserved members of the chamber, rarely taking center stage at news conferences.

He served in the House for 10 years from 1987 to 1997. His focus has been on committee assignments important to his state's interests — Indian Affairs and Energy and Natural Resources — as well as a spot on Appropriations. The latter allows him to direct funds to South Dakota.

Johnson narrowly defeated Republican John Thune in his 2002 re-election bid. Thune defeated Sen. Tom Daschle, the former Senate Democratic leader, two years later.

Johnson has worked as a lawyer and county prosecutor and served several years in the 1970s and 1980s in the South Dakota state Legislature.

The senator underwent prostate cancer treatment in 2004, and subsequent tests have shown him to be clear of the disease. His wife, Barb, is a breast cancer survivor. The couple have three adult children.

In response to one reporter's question on the conference call Wednesday, Johnson said he was most looking forward to spending the holidays with his family and grandchildren.

Johnson is the second senator to become ill after the Nov. 7 election. Wyoming Sen. Craig Thomas (news, bio, voting record), a Republican, was diagnosed with leukemia on Election Day. He is back at work.
