Wouldn't it be funny if he got his info here, and then told you, and then you told us as if it was a hot rumor? I mean nobody was talking about the rate of $1.47 until the TV transcripts of that Iraqi meeting where they said 147

Then we spent days and weeks talking about it and have still been toying with that figure. I really wonder where he got his info???? So many here pretty much figure that with all the info thats public news the dinar will RV between now and the first of the year, and infact so many here have been saying the same thing that the professor is saying too. I know he didn't come up with this info on his own, thats for sure.

the professor has friends in iraq he speaks to. it would be my assumption that they were fellow academics associates. the fact that the professor is one of economics and business could not bode better for his credentials.

best to just wait and see on this and not jump to suspicious conclusions prematurely.

then there will be 5000 calls to the university...

Well excuse me Susie, but since your in the habit of answering for other people and you seem to know it all. Then even you should know that the school in question would have to be.....Tepper School of Business :: Tepper School of Business :: Home
Being a Pittsburgh native it took very little detective work to figure this out. Let's chalk it up to being a no brainer. BTW I see that you assume but to reach a suspicious assumption that a rumor holds no malice would be incorrect. As for your 5000 phone calls one would have to be pretty good to get past the secratary of a part-time professor to ask a question about the Iraqi dinar now wouldn't they. This rumor smells more like a bang gang and that you can assume is my assumption.

lol, the professor has friends in Iraq, oh yes of course. OK so where did his friends get their info I wonder? Prolly from the same TV show we got the 147 figure from. I doubt that the CBI called this guy and told him directly or that this figure came to him in a dream or something insane. Re-read my post if you think it's a conclusion, and think of it from the point of view that all I was saying basically is that what we already know is being presented in the form of a rumor, and wow where did this info come from. I am not ney saying, I am not going insane and getting all political, or trying to mess up the pecking order here or anything so outlandish or get wild.

Is it wrong to wonder these things? I wasn't trying to jump to conclusions or anything, just posting some thoughts. If I start jumping to conclusions prematurely youll
be the second one to know. Thanks :)

if you dont like the fact that i stand up for my fellow rolclub members then tough teets. my point was the fact that he stated that the boy wouldnt want to jeopardize his relationship with the professor and yet you so rudely came back and had the audacity to ask him what university. if you could figure it out for yourself why in hell did you say anything at all if not to be hateful?

go back to idi.

Iran's President Invites Iraqi, Syrian Leaders for Summit
Ahmadinejad's Move Seen As Attempt to Undercut U.S. Influence in Region
By STEVEN R. HURST and QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA, AP

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Nov. 21) - In an apparent bid to counter U.S. influence in the region, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad invited his Iraqi and Syrian counterparts to a weekend summit in Tehran to tackle the chaos in Iraq, Iraqi lawmakers said Monday.

The diplomatic gambit coincided with a groundbreaking visit to Baghdad by Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem, who was challenged over Damascus' role in supporting the Sunni insurgency. The Iraqi government said diplomatic relations between the two countries - severed nearly a quarter-century ago - would be restored by Tuesday.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told the Syrian envoy that Damascus should not let its disputes with the United States be played out in Iraq, where the chaos and bloodshed has become "a danger that threatens all, not Iraq only."

Although a spokesman for the Iraqi president said Syrian President Bashar Assad would not be attending the summit, the Iranian move appeared designed to upstage possible American efforts to reach out to Tehran and Damascus in a wider effort to subdue runaway violence in Iraq.

The invitation was also a display of Iran's increasingly muscular role in the Middle East, where it already has established deep influence over Syria and Lebanon. Tehran is thought to benefit from a low level of chaos in Iraq to keep the U.S. bogged down - but is wary that too much bloodshed could cause trouble across its own border, where Kurds could become restive.

A close parliamentary associate of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said the summit represents an attempt by Tehran to strengthen its position in the region and prevent the U.S. from dividing Syria, a predominantly Sunni Arab country, from its ally of convenience, Shiite Iran.

The close Talabani associate, a fellow Kurd, said Talabani has accepted the invitation and will fly to the Iranian capital Saturday. The associate spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the media.

Talabani spokesman Kamaran Qaradaghi said in a statement late Monday that the Tehran meeting would only include Talabani and Ahmadinejad. He said, however, that Talabani had accepted an invitation to meet with Assad in Damascus. No date was set.

The State Department reacted with skepticism about Iran's intentions in Iraq, but said it was up to Iraq to decide. "It's their call; it's their decision," deputy spokesman Tom Casey said in Washington.

"We have seen statements like this many times in the past," and there have been several high-level contacts between Iran and Iraq, Casey said. But Iran's statements of a desire to reduce violence in Iraq "have not been backed up by facts," the U.S. spokesman said.
Asked about the Syrian foreign minister's visit to Iraq for high-level talks, Casey said, "The problem is not what they say but what they do."

"Certainly what we would like to see the Syrians do is take actions to, among other things, prevent foreign fighters from coming across the border into Iraq; and, again, to back up the positive words that they have with some real concrete steps," Casey said.

Both Iran and Syria are seen as key players in Iraq.

Syria is widely believed to have done little to stop foreign fighters and al-Qaida recruits from crossing its border to join Sunni insurgents in Iraq. It also has provided refuge for many top members of Saddam Hussein's former leadership and political corps, which is thought to have organized arms and funding for the insurgents. The Sunni insurgency, since it sprang to life in the late summer of 2003, has been responsible for the vast majority of U.S. deaths in Iraq.

"We object to any neighboring country that allows itself to be a base or a transit point for the terrorist groups that harm Iraq," al-Maliki said after meeting with the Syrian envoy.

Iran is deeply involved in training, funding and arming the two major Shiite militias in Iraq, where Tehran has deep historic ties to the current Shiite political leadership. Many Iraqi Shiites spent years in Iranian exile during Saddam's decades in power in Baghdad. One militia, the Badr Brigade, was trained in Iran by the Revolutionary Guard.

An Ahmadinejad spokesman said that Talabani's visit was scheduled several weeks ago for late November to work on improving bilateral relations. The spokesman, Majid Yazdi, told The Associated Press that he had no information on a coming visit by the Syrian leader.

But Talabani confidants said the invitation was issued Thursday by the Iranian ambassador who said Assad also was invited to the Tehran talks with Ahmadinejad.

Other lawmakers who confirmed the invitation to the AP were Reda Jawad Taqi, a senior official with Iraq's largest Shiite political organization, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq; Ali al-Adeeb, a close aide to al-Maliki; and Bassem Sharif, a lawmaker from the Shiite Fadila party.

Assad's foreign minister, Moallem, was the highest-level Syrian official to visit Iraqi since Saddam's ouster in 2003. Syria broke diplomatic ties with Iraq in 1982, accusing Iraq of inciting riots by the banned Muslim Brotherhood in Syria. Damascus also sided with Iran in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. Trade ties were restored in 1997.

AP correspondents Bassem Mroue in Baghdad and Nasser Karimi in Tehran contributed to this report.
