Given the current news with oil in Iraqi do you think the Dinar will go up in value very soon?
Sunday, October 25th, 2009 asked:
Given the U.S. Troops pulled out of Iraq cities on (7/1/09) and the current Iraq oil auctions with their oil fields having Iraq stabilizing themselves soon my only question here is do any of you think the Iraqi Dinar will go up in value soon against the U.S. Dollar meaning the dinar is worth more money. Ex. $2.00 (dinar) to every $1.00 (U.S. dollar)

looking for employment opportunities and considering the Middle East, then rest assured there are plenty of jobs in Iraq. Regardless of your skill set, jobs in numerous industries from semi-skilled to experts of the trade are readily available. Some of the many fields’ currently recruiting employees are: Food service worker – Throughout the country, numerous dining facilities exist on military installations. Help of all types are needed from food preparation to facility management. These facilities are open almost around the clock. Military personnel and civilians alike eat most (if not all) of their meals at these facilities. Many of them are very large and set up in a cafeteria type setting. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of personnel to manage these facilities. IT Professionals – Information Technology professionals are always needed to maintain and engineer computer networks and systems. This is a field that is in very high demand and can be quite lucrative. These professionals manage the various computer infrastructures throughout the country. It’s a plus if you have a US Security Clearance but not always necessary depending on the type of systems that you are supporting. Mechanics – As you can imagine, there are literally thousands of military and leased vehicles throughout Iraq and they all need to be maintained. The military installations are huge and personnel need to be transported from point to point. These mechanics need to be skilled to maintain all sorts of vehicles from standard cars and trucks to armored personnel carriers. Construction – You’ve probably heard in the news of the many construction projects in Iraq. If you have the skills, construction jobs in Iraq are available. Many companies from various nations have been awarded lucrative contracts to support the reconstruction efforts. Truck drivers – Always in high demand, truck drivers are needed to haul supplies to support the thousands of personnel at numerous installations. The truckers often carry cargo within the safer areas of the country which are patrolled by the military, but are also needed in the more dangerous regions. Translators – Of course linguists’ are always needed. If you are fluent in Arabic and willing to utilize you’re highly sought after skills, you can often demand a lot of money. Often these translators go out in the field with the military troops, but at other times they work within the confines of the bases. Security – Civilian security specialists are utilized throughout the Mideast to assist the military at numerous military installations as well as provide personal protection to high level individuals and dignitaries.

The proverbial icing on the cake, however, came with an invitation from DirectBuy of Boston South to visit their Rockland showroom to select the kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanity and flooring for their new home—at no charge, courtesy of DirectBuy.
“I used to work construction with my father so I have a pretty good idea of how much these kind of things cost,” said Fountaine. “The generosity of DirectBuy of Boston South and all the other contractors and vendors involved in building of the house, not to mention Homes for Our Troops, has been completely overwhelming.”
Homes for Our Troops, a non-profit organization based in Taunton, Massachusetts, builds and remodels specially adapted homes for severely wounded veterans. Fountaine, a double amputee after being injured during his second tour of duty in Iraq, was approached by Homes for Our Troops this fall about building the veteran a home in Plymouth.
With the help of dozens of contractors and volunteers, construction of the home began over Veteran’s Day weekend. Once the frame of the house was in place and contractors began work on the electrical, plumbing and other necessaries, it was time to design the interior. That’s when DirectBuy of Boston South stepped in.
“We wanted to help Brian because I believe we owe our returning troops, particularly wounded soldiers, more than a debt of gratitude. DirectBuy of Boston South contributing the kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanity and flooring doesn’t bring back soldiers we have lost or minimize anybody’s injuries, but it more appropriately says ‘thank you’ not just to Brian, but to all the Iraq War vets for their sacrifices,” said John Massaria, owner of DirectBuy of Boston South.
Construction on Sgt. Fountaine’s house is expected to conclude in December with a projected move-in date around the holidays. For Brian and Mary, who plan to be married on June 8, 2008, it’s a dream come true.
“How many 25- or 26-year olds can move into a brand new house without a mortgage payment and with a kitchen and a bathroom like something you’d see on ‘Extreme Makeover’? It’s just mind-boggling,” said Fountaine. “We can’t thank Homes for Our Troops, DirectBuy of Boston South and all the other vendors, and all the other vets and volunteers who helped build our home for their kindness and support,” said Fountaine.
