Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
My bank guy just flat out came out and told me, to be honest with you I think it will reinstate to what it was before and then it's going to float like any other international currency...It's more from the rumor mill. FRANK: I know it's going to reinstate. You know it. The money exchangers know it, that's why they went ape %$^%. That's why they're happy! ...This is the 3rd time your bank friend tells you $3.22 and it will float...That is the most logical thing for the CBI to do.
Militia Man They pushed out the HOR meeting till after this next holiday which is on the 17th...The WTO meeting they say is on the 18th unless their calendar changes. I highly suspect that won't be the case. They set the stage for the presidency to be done on the 20th. Those are the things we're looking at today...I hope you guys understand what we're seeing is powerful and I'm pretty excited and I think everybody else should be. It's really looking good...
