Parliament held its meeting under the chairmanship of Jubouri

[Reverse-Pumper]

Apparently these are HUGE accomplishments.

Can someone explain to me in english, why?

 

Lol, I want to be excited too.

[DoD]

RV, I will give you the jest of the meaning but suggest to get the whole picture go back an read up on all the articles that have been posted the past few months. The newbies I agree have some problems with a lot of their accomplishments in trying to connect the dots.

) 1- Iraq has to get rid of the corruption in their government. The Amesty Law is a vehicle to do this.

) 2- Removing confidence from the Defense Minister obviously is getting rid of some of that corruption.

) 3- The Judical Law which we hope will be voted on Saturday will get rid of the corrupt Federal judges. 

There are conditions from the IMF an World Bank on all these loans Iraq is getting an the passing of some of these laws is getting them in compliance. I want to see the beginning of the end to the MCP with the CBI. That is another condition to be Article VIII...

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament voted to sack its defense minister on Thursday, leaving two of the country’s key security posts empty ahead of an offensive for Mosul, the biggest fight yet against Islamic State militants.

Lawmakers voted 142 to 102 to withdraw confidence from Khaled al-Obeidi amid accusations of corruption. It follows the resignation of Iraq's interior minister in July after a devastating bomb attack in Baghdad.

Iraqi forces are slowly isolating the northern city of Mosul, the Islamic State’s de facto capital in Iraq, with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Thursday announcing the recapture of the town of Qayyarah, 37 miles south of the city.

With military plans already drawn up, Iraqi officials said they expected Obeidi’s removal to have limited practical impact on the impending fight. However, the sacking highlights Baghdad’s deep political instability as the country’s armed forces try to purge the group from its remaining strongholds.

Abadi has been flailing in his attempts to address entrenched graft and overspending, the main grievances of demonstrators who have been holding large street protests against his government. Trying to stay on the right side of corruption allegations, politicians have been trading accusations in recent months, arriving at parliament with large files allegedly documenting corrupt activity of rivals.

Obeidi was called before parliament earlier this month to answer questions about weapons contracts. During that session, he leveled accusations against several other politicians, drawing public praise for crusading against corruption.

On Thursday, Obeidi claimed that he was voted out because of the allegations he made. He denies corruption.

“The voice of the corrupt people was louder than my voice,” Obeidi said in a statement.

It is the first time Iraq’s parliament has withdrawn confidence from a minister since the current political system was created after the U.S.-led 2003 invasion.

Bashar al-Kiki, head of the provincial council of Nineveh, of which Mosul is the capital, said he did not expect the ouster to have a significant impact on the offensive there. However, he said, the vote of no confidence should have been delayed until afterward. Obeidi, who is from Mosul, had the confidence of the people, Kiki said.

“He is a son of the city,” he said. “It’s better to have him than not.”

Abadi has pledged to recapture Mosul before the end of the year. The offensive could displace more than a million people, according to the United Nations.

Interesting how Iraq's issues are painted by the "Foreign Press" as opposed to how the Iraqi Press reports its daily goings on.

[siberian_shaddow]

Much appreciated Yota, Well as long as they fill the defense minister position, and not proxy it, and eradicate Isis this year. we will be looking good.

[mylilpony]

Obeidi is not one of maliki's goons. He is a sunni and was on the list to be one of the defense ministers from the original erbil agreement back with the kurds that all signed when maliki became pm. I have to say that except for the stuff he spewed in parliament the first day of his questioning that i am lost as to why they did this except for maybe he lied about what he said on the stand. I know he did about jabouri, but what bothers me is that this guy was just in washington meeting with our guys about the offensive on mosul..shoot who knows maybe he was leaking info to the wrong people about the offensive in fallujah and ramadi and it got to daash. That could be why he went after jabouri because jabouri has had several meetings before and after with the tribal clans.

Thank You, MyLilPony, for the back ground and clarifying.  I thought it interesting this parliamentary session was the most well attended parliamentary session I can remember in some time.

[KDuesing]

Obiedy if I remember correctly was a Sunni and He had to flee from Malilki during his years and he lived in America Washington D.C, I always thought he was a good guy and was reporting to the USA what was going on over in Iraq. We all know those corrupt Shiat in will make up false charges there famous for it. But either way it looks like he is gone now.

[chinadawg]

Just me thinking out loud, but I believe if this was a good guy, Jabouri and Abadi would have went to bat for him.
