Pearle:  denton I saw where they want to borrow money again. It was disturbing.

Alf:  why does this sound like a shell game?

CaliforniaSugar:  No. I believe that the budget will be passed nect week. Then tbe ball is in the hands of the CBI and rate will change in our favor soon there after. I do not believe that rate will come out at $3. Closer to $1. Because Iraq must grow its economy and the rate will increase alongside the economy.

MontanaCoach:  The in country rate and the international rate are two different things. In order to become economically viable the rate must be similar to the 3 plus dollars mentioned or their trade and contracts would be of no value to them to grow and become acceptable in the world market.

Rogue:  they are not getting ready... they have been ready !!!! and all we can do , is what we have been doing ; staying positive and being ready also. cheers mate
