Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru Iraq is filthy rich…If they could only get the political scene straightened and get rid of the corruption that is stealing their wealth, the nation of Iraq could flourish to unbelievable heights. We read this period of an existence of a surplus in oil revenues of $7 billion, at a minimum, at the end of last month. Then the Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee in Iraq announced that the accumulated sums from the “petrodollar” fund for previous years are estimated at $25 billion. Oil companies desire to come into Iraq and drill yet more wells to pump yet more oil. Then the World Gold Council announced, on Sunday, that Iraq possesses more than 96 tons of gold in reserves. WOW! What wealth! But the most important point today is this – Why is Iraq telling us this today at this time?
