KTFA:OlLar: In a world where Conspiracy Theory is hardly discernable from Conspiracy Fact, am I the only one who has had a fleeting thought of a possibility, that the refusal of those who may be truly running the world, are insisting we have a showdown in Afghanistan this weekend? The same weekend that this Baghdad Summit is being held? A weekend where a real possibility of an RV? Cover for the RV? Probably crazy, but, I bet I am not the only one
Ryan1216: With the Baghdad conference this upcoming weekend it would be a perfect time to reveal the new rate. All is in place citizens education, ATM's, etc but this is Iraq. We have to watch and see what they do. I'm praying we aren't far away from this blessing coming forth. I'm frustrated just like everyone else. Kazemi has done alot of great talking lately it's time for him to back it up!
