Get ready for Petrodollar Warfare

How far will the U.S. go in preventing further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard?

Remember in 2000 Saddam sealed his fate when he announced that Iraq was no longer going to accept dollars for oil being sold under the UN’s Oil-for-Food program, and decided to switch to the euro as Iraq’s oil export currency. In 2003 the U.S switched the transaction back to dollars (the international currency of oil sales) despite the fact the the euro was valued approx. 13% higher than the dollar, and thus significantly impacted the ability of future oil proceeds to rebuild Iraq’s infrastructure.

Come July 2006 the Tehran government has plans to begin competing with New York's NYMEX and London's IPE with respect to international oil trades – using a euro-based international oil-trading mechanism. This will introduce petrodollar versus petroeuro currency hedging, and fundamentally new dynamics to the biggest market in the world - global oil and gas trades.

In essence, the U.S. will no longer be able to effortlessly expand its debt-financing via issuance of U.S. Treasury bills, and the dollar’s international demand/liquidity value will fall.

Could this prompt overt or covert U.S. interventions – thereby signaling the second phase of petrodollar warfare in the Middle East?!? Read on here

Gorey Co. Wexford - The traffic hell hole of the east!!

Sweet jebus have you ever been unfortunate enough and had to drive through the J Walking Hell Hole of a Kip called Gorey? What a complete disaster in modern day communting / transport, you are guaranteed to spent at least 25 minutes of your life sitting in a traffic jam when going through this dump. But wait ... relief is on the way Wexford Co. Council are on the ball and are planning a bypass.

The construction of dual carriageway will replace the existing N11 between Clogh and the Arklow bypass and includes a bypass of Gorey Town (about f'ing time!!). However it's not scheduled for completion until Q4, 2007.

2007!!!
.

You have got to be taking the piss. Even if they get it completed in 2 years time the bottleneck will just move down to Camolin or Ferns. You have honestly got to wonder what those toss pots in the National Roads Authority (NRA), County Council and our beloved Government use to plan ahead a frigging black stick and lazy labrador. It gets even better by 2015 the government still isn't planning on bypassing some of these towns, check out the national road network in 2015. Take your Transport 21 and stick it up your hole Bertie. The biggest economic boom this country has ever witnessed and low and behold Fianna Fail are still squandering money, at least with Charlie Haughey we eventually knew where the money was going i.e. into his own pockets!!
