Northrop Grumman Wins Iraq Deal(WHAT)!!

Have you ever wondered how it is that crap like this takes place yet the dinar is still butt wipe. 122 mill. isnt that more than the whole 2012 budget for iraq. Something smells !!!!!!


Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has received a $122 million contract to install and sustain Counter-Rocket, Artillery and Mortar (C-RAM) systems at forward operating bases (FOBs) supporting Operation Enduring Freedom and the ongoing United States Mission in Iraq (USM-I). The contract includes options that, if fully exercised, would raise the potential value of the contract to $311 million.

Since initial fielding more than six years ago, the C-RAM system is credited with saving hundreds of lives through its ability to provide early warning of incoming indirect fire. C-RAM is a capability that integrates existing field artillery and air defense sensors, a commercial off-the-shelf warning system and a U.S. Navy-developed interceptor to protect U.S. and coalition personnel from indirect fire threat. Working closely with the U.S. Army, Northrop Grumman helped to take the C-RAM capability from concept to reality in less than 18 months.

“C-RAM is exemplary for smart integration of existing technology to serve critical needs,” said Mike Twyman, vice president and general manager of the Defense Systems Division, Northrop Grumman Information Systems. “We will continue our collaboration with the Army to enhance this system that has provided timely warning of more than 2,000 rocket and mortar attacks against our FOBs.”

Under this contract, Northrop Grumman will provide systems engineering, production, deployment and logistics support for the C-RAM systems. The contract was awarded by the Army Contracting Command-Redstone at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Program management and technical direction will come from the Program Director, C-RAM, in the Army’s Program Executive Office, Missiles and Space.

The budget is 100 Billion, not million. The got plenty to cover this.

Oops, those pesky zero's.

Take away their ability to use OUR money (USD) and not their own and they would have nothing, no reserves, no backup nothing... they would be forced to RV (ReValue) their currency.

What is a sovereign nation doing using OUR money and not their own?
I can't use their silly money here so how come they can use our money their?

Sure enough, something IS wrong...
can any of you folks in Dinar land explain this one to me?
