lem now that is making Rice so adamant about going into Iraq is three arab nations have shifted to euros only

They want to be paid in euros for oil - NOT dollars!!!

This would mean that all of the money that American oil firms make off these deals would vanish!

The reason Germany and France don't want a war is this Euro deal helps them more than anyone else!

China also has a big bite of euros - they have bought a lot of them - Sort of as economic blackmail against the US! Not just by China, but by many nations who would like to see the US come down a peg or two.

The US could force the NEW Iraqi government to accept US dollar$$ - THAT'S the reason for war at this time!!

If you think about it, this goes hand in hand with the major purchases of gold - Like you have been saying for years, the euro has some gold backing - Germany is one of the gold holders of the euro!

Iraq shifted out of dollars in 97 or 98 - the would not accept dollars for oil after that - the US has been buying oil from European brokers - as a result of having to pay for it in Euros, what was once a 10B deal now costs 15 - 18B in Euros!

If all OPEC companies refuse to accept dollars for oil - then NO ONE will want dollars and there will be a run on the banks! The dollars will be worthless - the US will have to change - maybe to script. No one wants an Argentine dollar! And that's about what the US dollar will be at this point!

Within next six months - Greenspan will be fired by Bush, or resign. Why? Because Greenspan helped the change to Euros - He will try to make trouble on the way out because he doesn't like Bush. When he goes, a man named Knight - (I think his first name is Bob) will also go. Knight is the head of the law firm that handles Citi Bank. He is the former money man of DIA and a good friend of Greenspan's.

If war does NOT go off, the FED will no longer exist.

There is the possibility that Iraq has weapons that would deter US forces - The US does not want half million men to die. If Bush did this he would doom the Republican Party forever. He knows this and won't do it if he is convinced of their ability to inflict damage of our troops.

We are probably too late already to do anything about these weapons.

It also looks like US can't use nukes. World opinion will not allow this!

If the US can't go to war, this means they won't be able to put their own man in place who they can force Iraq to use dollars.

If Saddam steps down and allows Tariq Aziz to become President in a democratically held election, one with UN ballot watchers... then the US is finished because Aziz will continue the policy of Euros and not dollars.

This means that the US dollar is finished for good!! This also mean the FEDERAL RESERVE BANKING SYSTEM IS FINISHED FOR GOOD!!

Don't you wonder if maybe this has been the plan all along?
