TIDBIT FROM MILITIAMAN

 Militia Man 

 The United States is talking about currency manipulation...When Iraq has a real effective exchange rate, all those trading partners that have...the dinar, are probably going to get an adjustment...

If all boats rise with the tide and all those currencies have more value to the United States dollar because they're adjusted accordingly based on their natural resources,

 which all those countries have a lot of natural resources, and  if they all hold foreign currencies of each other's currencies, the valuations are going to go up...

They're going to be able to buy more dollars... with less of theirs.  It's actually a brilliant way of doing things.  That's why everybody is flocking in [to Iraq].  Because it's like a lottery for them to some degree.
