"Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in gold, silver, or any other commodity. Federal Reserve notes have not been redeemable in gold since January 30, 1934, when the Congress amended Section 16 of the Federal Reserve Act to read: "The said [Federal Reserve] notes shall be obligations of the United States….They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank." Federal Reserve notes have not been redeemable in silver since the 1960s.
The Congress has specified that Federal Reserve Banks must hold collateral equal in value to the Federal Reserve notes that the Federal Reserve Bank puts in to circulation. This collateral is chiefly held in the form of U.S. Treasury, federal agency, and government-sponsored enterprise securities." Source: http://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12770.htm
I don't think we have anything backing the dollars at this point TBH. Well...a piece of paper and some ink. Staples is the new federal reserve.
Northern Iraq falls to Al Qaeda, $400 million looted from central bank.

It's like we keep playing "just the tip".
No boots on the ground, well, I mean not very many troops, and maybe some drones, Oh and a few strategic bomb drops, but I promise, just the tip.

Jesus Christ, how ghetto are you?now? no.
speaking of counterfeit..
so, i go into AMSCOT for their "free" money orders..impressive, nice clean gave me tootsie rolls.
i handed the guy $2100 in 100's right from the bank counted 2x in front of me and then my inspection again.
this guy is counting, holding up to light, scratching and putting "possibilities" off to the side..which really irritated me. i didn't say anything at first because this was free and would save me $4.95. i didn't feel like spending the money at citibank or publix.
then he hands me a welcome packet of services and a form to fill out with sensitive info.
i told him i just wanted a money order and he explained this was a financial institution. awesome! financial institution or not they don't need that info..if i were trying to launder it wouldn't be with them.
he insisted, i walked out and down to publix two doors down.
amscot is nosy..other check cashing store who are "financial institutions" don't need ID for a money order.
amscot gets 3 fingers..the only reason i didn't give them 4 was because of the tootsie rolls.

If he sent in thousands of troops he'd be trying to kill americans, if he sent in a few he'd be not doing enough, if he cast a magic fireball and eliminated terrorism he'd be a witch. Who cares.
Bin Laden dies under Obama administration and Bush gets credit - "fast and furious" signed under Bush and Obama gets blamed. We get it - Obama does not appeal to conservatives.
most of his day is made up deciding which elevator car to ride up in from his garage to main level of house..yet he turns off the water heater when not in residence..guess his slaves have to clean in cold while he's away..typical wealthy person..freak.I say "Let Staples go bankrupt".
EDIT: they just closed down the all of staples in town and we had like 2 or 3.

I agree he's in a difficult position, I also agree that without the bushney regime it would most likely be a different issue over there than what we see.
I'm just commenting on the fact that we are playing just the tip and as a man, I can say that even if I meant it going in, I'm going to be balls deep asap.

As fucked up as it is, I'd be fine if they just turned the whole area into a glass bowl with a couple nukes. We can go in there, remove wackjob leaders and they'll just be replaced by younger more violent ones within weeks. It's a lost cause at this point. Hell, Japan is doing alright. 3rd largest GDP, 4th largest in purchasing power? Not too shabby ;P

You feel as I do then. We should not be there, if we are going to be there then we need to have a cause and an objective.
Nukes would change the area name to Allgonastan and millions of innocent lives would be lost, I'm not a fan of that one, but it's starting to look like we are choosing death by a thousand cuts instead. I'm not a fan of that one either.
I say we tap into the oil we have here, and watch what happens over there on CNN instead.

that would be operation: parking lot
a very real plan which never came to fruition..yet.
