Popular Post Adam Montana Posted August 20, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Morning everyone! Wednesday, August 20 2014 weekly update.... like I mentioned last week, Abadi has some time remaining to complete his new Iraqi government. The Kurdish members of Parliament had walked out and refused to participate in any government actions last month under Maliki, but as of today Kurdish leaders are returning to Baghdad to negotiate and take part in forming the new GOI. While some have insisted the government would be formed quickly (like last week!), I don't see that happening - I believe Abadi and the rest of the parties involved will take the full time allowed, so we will not see a fully formed and seated GOI for about 3 more weeks. Kurdistan continues to show strength and resolve - with the help of outside forces, they have at least partially reclaimed the Mosul Dam from the terrorists and IS looks to be getting desperate. Hopefully the recent beheading of innocent journalist James Foley will be enough to spur more countries and even the US to take serious action against IS... they are an evil that must be dealt with, and until they are eradicated they will continue to terrorize. On the financial and political end of the spectrum for Kurdistan, the KRG has successfully exported and sold a total of 7 million barrels of oil so far, with the proceeds sitting firmly in Kurdish banks and nothing going to Baghdad. They currently have 2 tankers sitting off the coast of Texas awaiting a decision by US Courts to allow US companies to purchase this oil... the Government of Iraq has petitioned to block this, but it's looking like the KRG will win. When that happens, LOOK OUT! Kurdistan is currently producing 300,000 barrels per day and they are projected to go higher. With their pipeline to Turkey making it completely possible to export and their list of buyers for the oil they can produce, it's going to put a LOT of pressure on Abadi to push the HCL through and get the country working together... all good for Iraq and also for the value of the Dinar! Thank you to TBomb for putting together this thread with great current articles on Iraq. And for the rest of the news.... be sure to stop in for the Nadita File yendor We're running out of August and I'm not "excited", yet. Do we still have time for this to be an "exciting month" as you mentioned in a previous update? It looks like things are slowing down while Abadi is forming his government, but the positives are very real: 1. Kurds again working with Baghdad 2. Maliki appears to be accepting his fate, allowing Abadi to move forward 3. KRG proving to be very strong and capable of independent action, forcing Baghdad to compromise 4. Etc. fred5688 When do you think this will be over? How close are they to passing the HGL. Thanks for all you do Key dates at this time are August 25th, and of course the next 20 days that Abadi has to seat the GOI. After these 20 days are up I believe we'll start looking for movement on the HCL and then it's game time. mokie775 Heard rumors on the radio today that the Kurds want to separate themselves from the rest of Iraq... Actually, it's even more complicated than that! "NEW YORK—Marking the latest and most ambitious attempt to bring stability to the region, the United Nations announced Wednesday that every single person in the Middle East will receive his or her own sovereign nation as part of a historic 317,000,000-state solution." http://dinarvets.com/forums/index.php?/topic/184864-everyone-in-middle-east-given-own-country-in-317000000-state-solution/ fred5688 Adam, I read the gov will be seated on Monday. Do you think when this happens, there will be an RV ? I don't think it will happen that fast - Abadi has 20 days left to get it done, and I believe they will take the full time allowed. I know the "RV Tuesday" Gurus won't agree with me on that one, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. That's it for this one - sorry I can't tell you it will be "done" by Monday, but I really think they are going to take the entire time allotted and then we'll be looking for HCL news after that. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhona Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 One thing in favour of a full formed gov is the fact that Isis is still a big factor ,having the gov seated will bring help from many countries to defeat ISIS there is a lot going on behind the scenes Thanks Adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vietnam1969 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks Adam for your weekly report and it does sound more promising as time goes by but I still think it may not happen til next year (early I hope). It would be a great start for the Rv to happen at the beginning of their New Year along with their newly formed government. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
