Iraqi Dinar – Iraqi Dinar Value, Iraqi Dinar Exchange Rate, Buying Iraqi Dinar, Iraqi Dinar Buying Guide

Ali asked:


I know you have to pay an exchange rate, but do you have to pay federal or state tax?

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.

These Dinar sellers in US, How do they get so much of Dinars when banks dont sell them?

The Democratic presidential primary will be over soon. Eventually, New York Senator, Hillary Clinton, will have to concede the Democratic party nomination fight to Barrack Obama. The polls in Pennsylvania continue to show a very slight lead for the former First Lady. However, in North Carolina public opinion polls indicate a huge lead for Barack Obama. If the polls are correct then it will probably be after the North Carolina primary that the campaign of Hillary Clinton accepts its now inevitable end.

The moment Hillary Clinton withdraws from the 2008 Presidential campaign, the Iraq war will begin to dominate the general election debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. A preview of what will become the defining issue of the 2008 Presidential election campaign could be seen this week in the Senate during the questioning of General David Petraeus by both candidates. Each candidate’s questioning of General Petraeus highlighted the differences on the Iraq issue between the two men. McCain’s questions were concerned with military tactics for success while Obama was clearly looking for a strategy for a complete military withdrawal.

The truth is that the outcome of the 2008 Presidential election depends on the events of the next six months in Iraq. In fact, for the last several years, election results have tracked the public’s perceptions about the progress of the war. The Democratic success in the 2006 congressional elections correlated to a low point in the public’s opinion of the war. More recently, the resurgence of John McCain’s candidacy has followed an increased public optimism about the success of the troop surge and the decrease in U.S. fatalities in the country.

It has recently become evident that the situation in Iraq will not be resolved by the time that George W. Bush leaves office in January 2009. More than 140,000 United States troops will likely remain in the country when a new presidential administration takes office. As a result, it will be up to the next President to handle this increasingly costly war. It is clear that a McCain administration would continue the policy of the current Bush administration in Iraq. Under McCain, Iraq will not be given a timetable for U.S. withdrawal. However, Democratic candidate Barrack Obama favors a troop withdrawal timetable and what he calls a “diplomatic surge” to include Iran.

Obama favors a diplomatic surge with Iran because, according to General Petraeus, Iran is behind much of the current violence in Iraq. Last week, Petraeus told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Iran has “fueled the recent violence in a particularly damaging way through its lethal support of “special groups”. These “special groups” are “funded, trained, armed, and directed by Iran’s Quds Force with help from Lebanese Hezbollah. It was these groups that launched Iranian rockets and mortar rounds at Iraq’s seat of government (the Green Zone) … causing loss of innocent life and fear in the capital.”

Also consider General Petraeus response to Senator Joseph Lieberman’s question about the threat of Iran to American fighting men and women in Iraq. “Is it fair to say that the Iranian-backed special groups in Iraq are responsible for the murder of hundreds of American soldiers and thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians?” Liberman asked. “It certainly is. … That is correct,” said General Petraeus.

It is clear that the United States backed government of Iraq is fighting a proxy war with “special groups’ backed by the government of Iran. An escalation of violence in Iraq during the next six months without any hope of immediate resolution would probably help the candidacy of Democrat Barack Obama.

However, the recent comments from General Petraeus may also be a prelude to a general escalation of a conflict between the United States and Iran, a conflict to be initiated before George W. Bush leaves office. The fact is that, in addition to contributing to the violence in Iraq, Iran continues to enrich uranium. The enrichment of uranium continues despite three United Nations Resolutions and Sanctions.

It is evident that the nations of the West (including Israel) will not accept a nuclear Iran and that the United Nations has not been effective in stopping the ongoing Iranian nuclear enrichment program. In addition, the United States cannot withdraw military forces from Iraq with the Iranian-sponsored violence in the country. As a result, the Iranian problem in Iraq could well act as a military cover for a United States bombing campaign designed to address not only the problem of the Iranian sponsored “special groups” but Iranian nuclear facilities as well.

It is a long way to the United States Presidential election in November. A lot can happen in the war in Iraq during the next seven months. However, as in the last several American elections, the status of the war in Iraq will play a major role in deciding the outcome. It probably would not help the candidacy of Republican John McCain if the recent violence in Iraq escalates or if the war expands into Iran by election day.

It has been gaining value for almost two months now, making a slow comeback, and there’s been news lately, from the Iraqi ministry of finance and the central bank of Iraq that they’re working on equalizing it with the US Dollar. So…any professional evaluation on where it will be by the end of 2007 or so?

An orphanage in Sadr city, where children speak of their hatred of America. A generation of Iraqi children have been radicalised and anti-westernised by the war. Video by Ghaith Abdul-Ahad.

America has reached its boiling point. The escalation of chaos and terror in the Middle East as well as across the globe acting in concert with the inability to strategically undermine the “will” of the insurgency has resulted in Americans to lose their “will” to continue the fight. The idea of troop withdraw has gained more popularity with each new report of American loss of life. As an American as well as a practicing Muslim, I fully understand the significance that troop withdraw from Iraq promises…

If we withdraw from Iraq – we can expect far worse tribal chaos and Islamic terrorism than in Mogadishu or Lebanon.

If we withdraw from Iraq – we will alienate moderate arabs in the Middle East – who could never again believe in any American assurances of support for reform and would have to retreat into the shadows-or find themselves at the mercy of fascist killers.

If we withdraw from Iraq – the enemy will swell their ranks as they hype their defeat of the American infidels. Recruitment will accelerate across the globe.

If we withdraw from Iraq – any strategy of hitting terrorists hard abroad would be discredited and replaced by a return to the pre-9/11 tactics of a few cruise missiles and writs.

We must remember that the enemy has an eighth-century agenda of gender apartheid, religious intolerance, and theocracy. We only fool ourselves if we think that peace is the natural order of things and that it follows organically from the cessation of hostilities. We must finish this task regardless of how ugly and bloody it gets. We risk loosing more in the future then we have already lost to this point. Though we continue to sacrifice dearly, the peace of mind that we have been able to thwart any terrorist effort within the United States since 9/11 is proof that something is working. Obviously many of us can agree that this is not due to the diligence of our government to protect our borders and secure the homeland.

Development towards bringing peace to the Middle East hinges on continued American resolve in Iraq as well as our ability to address the situation in Palestine. There has not been any other world leader who has stepped up to combat these issues outside of their own Country. Of course the administration must account to the American people for the way this war has been waged as well as the false pre-tenses that initiated this conflict in the first place. The administration must also be held account for the manipulation of executive powers which have only led to the increased distrust of the federal government. We must try and repair the wounds that we have caused with our allies around the world, as well as encourage them to increase their presence in the Iraq conflict. This will allow the U.S. to withdraw a large amount of its military presence in Iraq and put forth to the terrorists a global unified front. America must not carry the flag of freedom and liberty alone. This is a failed strategy and we must work hand in hand with other powers to ensure the life and safety of individuals across the globe. We must find a new global strategy to combat terrorism that is no longer lying dormant in our cities and villages. If we fail to do so, we risk losing more of our unique freedoms and liberties that make America what it is.
