Hi folks,

For the learned and speculative among us...

I realize that tomorrow we are expecting the briefing at the UN regarding Iraq.
http://www.un.org/me.../mediaalert.asp

I recognize it is anyones guess and pure speculation, but how likely will this meeting be to announce Iraq coming out of Chapter 7? In your opionion(s) has Iraq completed enough of the U.N. stipulations to qualify for release?

I think this would be interesting for us to discuss and look forward to hearing the various thoughts.

Respectfully,

Texx

Well it appears that they will spend over half of the day on the Iraqi Issue. They are then following discussions with a major press conference. It seems to me that tomorrow is just as good a time as any to announce.

I found this. It speaks to the subject of Chapter 7. I think it is a good read, but have trouble with the translation and the meaning of the Kuwaiti officials. First it sounds good, then it contradicts itself. You make the decision.

"Officials expect the Iraqis to move while the UN Security Council meets in the sixteenth of February to close my oil for food program and weapons of mass destruction"

UN Security Council meets in mid-February to hear a report by the Mission of the United Nations to help Iraq (UNAMI) on the one hand, and another report by the representative of Iraq from the other side.

The meeting of the UN Security Council at the time of Iraq's diplomatic actively working intensively to remove Iraq from Chapter VII, which put him in the introduction to its goals.

Iraq was included under the provisions of Chapter VII as a state which threatens world peace and international security after the invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

And imposed on Iraq since that time, broad sanctions and severe restrictions on the arm of its armed forces after the adventures of the former regime and the waste of Iraq's resources and capabilities of scientists on projects that are not feasible for the production of chemical weapons, biological and nuclear weapons.

Officials expect the Iraqis to move while the UN Security Council meets in the sixteenth of February to close my oil for food program and weapons of mass destruction.

The Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammed Haj Hamoud, in an exclusive interview for Radio Free Iraq that Iraq was during the last period in constant contact with the five permanent members of the Security Council to ensure support.

Hammoud said that there were contracts signed in connection with the oil for food program to be decided by the compensation from the liable for compensation and bring down the cases which are not based on the support.

On the other hand was the lifting of restrictions imposed on Iraq in connection with the weapons of mass destruction requires approval by Congress of the additional protocol to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty before to confirm the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iraq implemented all its international obligations in this file.

But the House of Representatives adjourn is unlikely to return to ratify the Additional Protocol during the remainder of its session.

In the face of this situation, "said Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammed Haj Hamoud, Iraq is an arrangement with the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency confirms the commitment of the Iraqi government with all provisions of Additional Protocol pending approval by Congress.

And received Iraq's pledge to accept UN Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The agent and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed Haj Hamoud, the closure of my oil for food and weapons of mass destruction will be only resolve the pending issues between Iraq and Kuwait to drive Iraq out of the provisions of Chapter VII and return to the normal position in the international community, adding that this issues can be resolved and unresolved issues between the two brother peoples.

Radio Free Iraq met with the Undersecretary of the Ministry of National Dialogue, logistical Saad, who described the file to a closure of Kuwait to Iraq emerges from the provisions of Chapter VII of the complex topic due to the volume of cases that are still unresolved, including borders and compensation and pledges Iraq towards Kuwait.

He added that logistical All this calls for a study by experts from the United Nations.

That brings the promise of a report to the UN Security Council on the settlement of all these issues between the two countries followed by the decision of Iraq out of the provisions of Chapter VII, describing the process is complex.

And the results achieved by the Iraqi diplomatic in their ongoing work to close the border file and compensation with Kuwait and the Kuwaiti government's response to Baghdad's efforts on this front, "said Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammed Haj Hamoud, the phase that are entered Iraqi move with anticipation of the elections for the seventh of March to the expected period of stagnation after the elections and the formation of a new government in Baghdad.

International law expert Osama Murtaza expressed his conviction of the possibility of reaching a settlement with Kuwait on an economic basis lead to a waiver of compensation pointing to a change in the position of Kuwait after what he called the intransigence shown by the Kuwaiti National Assembly before.

Member of the Legal Committee at the House of Representatives Muhsin al-Sadoun For his part, pointed out that the Iraq of the provisions of Chapter VII would be the ultimate but also unleash a barrage of lawsuits that could threaten Iraq's money, and called for the hedge, such as this.

Atheist in the twenty last December issued a UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1905, that provides for the extension of the protection of the Development Fund for Iraq for another year until the thirty-atheist of December 2010.

And the Development Fund for Iraq is the fund, which holds the proceeds of Iraqi oil.

Chap 7 has been lifted so many times we should name a nasa shuttle craft after it "THE CHAP 7 " space shuttle Oh look it's orbiting the earth. I will bevieve it when my hometown newspaper The COON city gazette reports it, until then just a rumors, rumor

[mrs millionaire]

All great news! With the weight of chapter 7 lifted, new contracts being signed by foreign business and investors, it sounds like the RV is just around the bend. Let's practice patience.....I know it's hard to do, but if you've waited this long, what's a couple more hours, days, weeks, or even months when you'll live the rest of your lives rich like me!!!!

[tommy2unes2]

I so want this to be the big IT!
so ready to move onto the next investment!

[mattevan]

This could be another step to the RV...I do believe the Value will hit the .86 after the Lop then it will be RV to a rate that will help their economy compete with surrounding countries (2+). Hopefully the USA will get their chunck back from Iraq with the RV and just in time to deal with Crazy Iran...this could be our second investment....just a thought..

[mavpack]

Mattevan-What kind of a"lop"are you expecting?

[jackdavis1364]

I'm not learned but I do speculate. I speculate that the release of chapter 7 has its best chance of being lifted now than it has had in a long time. To be exact, since the last time that the UN met to talk about this same subject.
If you believe only 10% of the speculation then this will apply: Chapter 7 is lifted tomorrow, Rv is announced shortly thereafter, we cash-out, we bank the money, we reinvest and we live happily forever after. I hope this is not a fairy-tale.

[keylime]

From what I gather, Kuwait is the only thing standing in Iraq's way, and it looks as though the UN is pushing hard for a meeting of the mines(i mean minds). Only tomorrow will tell if these two countries will kiss and make up. Kuwait has every right to protect itself and recoup what has been taken from them, as Iraq has every right to be Reinstated back to before el lunatico himself hurt both these countries. I pray they come to an agreement, where both parties win, and thus, so do we.

[jcav]

Don't get your hopes up too high. This is a BS dog and pony show meeting. They (Iraq) are not ready yet. Too many loose ends.

[Joyce Bygall]

Keylime: It is my understanding that the issues between Iraq and Kuwait have been settled! Has anyone else seen this? I hope the post was true! Thanks Guys! GO RV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If so, Iraq can say goodbye to Ch. 7, as I understand it. GO RV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gman51]

I am really not getting my hopes too high, but I was thinking today that this is the first time they have called a press conference to tell us the U.N.'s decision about Iraq. Moon usually releases a written statement of what he has decided. Why would they hold a press conference this time, and announce it days ahead of time. Sounds like a pretty big deal this time. I think they are going to release them from Chapter 7 Sanctions, and that is what all the hoopla is about.

[grandinar]

I hope this time they put there heads together and pull the triger, it's not that hard, just pull, go on, now.

[Jewel]

Thnx Texx we will remain hopeful that chp 7 is released at this media or press meeting

[markr]

one thought occured to me today.. we have really been smoking some bad hookhas..
Iraq's been selling $100+ mln USD/DAYof their worthless paper (IQD) - mostly to US (there are about 17000 resellers "Registered with the US Treasury" in California alone) - why would they wana stop it, or make it worth 1000X? WHY?...

[MakeItSo]

My wife has more or less given up over the past few months,
mainly due to the "this is done so now they can rv" stuff.
She still asks every once in a while about the latest "stall tactic".
When I told her about the UNSC meeting, she just looked at me
and asked, "So what's the next delay going to be? Is the UNSC
going to give them ANOTHER task to complete before they can
have another meeting?".
I must admit, she does make sense.
How many times have we heard that something is done, but
now they need to do something else?
What we need to see is a podium, with a huge red button that
says "RV", and Maliki standing there with his finger hovering
above it.

You are correct Joyce. I read that Kuwait said they were not interested in holding Iraq to the debts or reparations owed, just that they have peace with their brothers to the north.
