Re: *** Iraqi dinar, recently being said *** /....

WHAT EXCUSE WILL WE HEAR IF NO RV THIS WEEKEND....

Dinarians have heard it all from them being the reason as to why the RV hasn't happened by speculating on currencies about to revalue, to Maliki smacking a hornets nest called ISIS, to personal wrangling from US politicians trying to grand stand. So what will be the latest excuse we'll hear if there is no RV this weekend from Iraq?

The new Iraqi government has made great strides to cover pretty much all bases and crossed all "T" and dotted all "i" and yet here we are still waiting, and for what? Last week we were told it was the US who was the hold up because they wanted certain security measures in place to stop any illegal activity through the Iraqi exchange. ok, that got done this past week according to Tony and DC. What's next?

Well El Abadi has the opportunity to milk this situation for all he can by asking for more deals, conditions, arrangements, but his time with the Iraqi people is running out. ISIS continues to pay some Iraqi's cash and food for their continued loyalty against the Iraqi government. That's what he has not been able to circumvent because he hasn't pulled the trigger for the RV and pay those people through their Qi cards who currently stand against him helping ISIS out.

I'm surprised the Iraqi people have not taken to the streets yet because for the last 3 weeks they've been seeing a message scroll across their TV's saying "they are going to be the richest nation in that region very soon". But the international rate of 3.58 has not happened and everyone is getting fed up. Many of the latest deals the Iraqi government have made with other countries are contingent upon the new Iraqi Dinar going internationally live before they fork over any more supplies or equipment.

They want to get paid in new Iraqi Dinars too, before they continue helping Iraq out. That's called a catch 22 situation. Iraq needs help fighting ISIS but these countries need Iraq to RV their Dinar currency before they can continue helping Iraq out.

Everything lies on trust now, trust that politicians will do what they say they will do. But if this RV does not happen this weekend, what excuse will we hear as to why it has not happened? Once again, we are at the machinations of others who see the rest of us as insignificant.
