more like trillions      and Obama may have really screwed it up by leaving Iraq too quickly.

Hi other one,

But the US are giving arms to the Kurds & Sunnis that are fighting ISIS. The quip at the end of the video about `Fortress America` in Baghdad, is that they said, `it looks like they (America) are going to be here forever!!!` And there are many American troops housed in the embassy. All very interesting. Something to watch over the next year or so.

Marilyn.

There have been recent discoveries of enormous deposits of gold in the region east of Baghdad. The government has drawn up a long term thirty year plan for exploiting the countries mineral resources.

There is a lack of knowledge regarding gold trade in the local banking industry & Turkey, (which is a huge producer of gold) has stepped in to train Iraqi bankers in order to make them competent enough in the gold trade.

The Iraqi government is confident that gold could soon become an important commodity as oil is for the country.

God said there is gold there –

`Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, & from there parted & became 4 riverheads....The name of the third river is Hiddekel, (Tigris) ....& the gold of that land is good.` (Gen. 2: 11 – 14)

Baghdad is on the river Tigris.

Interesting, ay. Marilyn.

Hi Cletus,

To build the embassy? I can imagine.

Yes, but at the moment they are being cornered by the Kurds & other Sunnis. They have cut down their territory by less than a half.

And what do you think of the discovery of gold there? How do you think it will affect the region?

Yes.  I saw pictures when it was being built.  Its very saddening when almost everything says made in china on it and now even our embassies are bade by the Chinese. 

And what do you think of the discovery of gold there?
