It is encouraging that they have developed a mechanism to reach a mutual settlement arangement of their disputed matters. The pesimest in me asks, haven't they done this before? Agreed and then after 1 - 2 payments renegged on the arrangement. Widening the gap between them even further. Who knows if this fact is what has allowed the security situation to devolve to where it is now. I am in a negative mood right now. Wanting, hoping, and waiting.

Long article, alot of information. The only thing I got with this first scan through was the 17% to the Kurdistan Region. So, they are officially getting what they have been trying to get for the last 10 years percentage of oil revenue wise ??? Am I correct in interpreting that the Kurds deals with the Turkey oil export pipelines is potentially going to get the federal gov of Iraqs blessings. I did not catch anything regarding the rate that was suppose to be - rumored to be in the budget. Smarter powers that be explain plz.

Allow me to use your analogy to explain.
I would move to WHATEVER state told Washington that. AS THAT STATE WOULD ESSENTIALLY
BE SAYING WE ARE GOING TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION. Its called"States Rites".
Sound familiar? Kurdistan claiming to be following the Iraqi constitution. But that's not
what this is about. We've known for about 10 days that the"POINTS OF CONTENTION"have
been agreed upon. How then can they still be issues? For some reason it seems that Iraq
needed a little more time, why is anybody's guess and we may never know. It would appear
that time is no longer an issue. I'm not saying that I know without a doubt we will have an
RV.I'm saying that I know without a doubt we WILL HAVE THE HCL AND BUDGET.
In less than 10 business days, I have no secret intel, no boots on the ground. I simply know
people, and I understand how people are. THIS PART OF OUR RIDE IS OVER.
I am LGD ... HEAR ME ROAR. I pray you are right LGD. Woo, you be pumped brother. Gotta like that; by the 29th of Jan 2014. I wld be cool with that.

Keep him in prison for ten years in solitary confinement, subjecting him to re-runs of Honey Boo Boo 24/7 and bologni sandwiches. Then shoot him, by then he will be begging for da bullet.

LMBO. The things we do while waiting for da chat. Still LMBO.

To sort of quote that Guru - Ace Ventura Pet Detective: If Adam's Chat is not here in 5 minutes ... wait longer !!!
Adam had a chat last week, didn't have one for 2 weeks prior to that likely for Christmas and New Years. Now that is ok. You know that he knows many of us look forward to reading his weekly chat with earnest. That would be enough pressure to do what he does asap. It would be nice for him to have it out by 7:00 or 8:00 am PST but what can we do, not renew our VIP?

Kevin,
God takes care of His children.. sometimes we have to come to the end of the rope and let go and trust Him that He will catch us. He is a good God and I pray and hope this rv will happen sooner than later that we all can take a breath and know that we can start our life all over again.. I don't know about you but I am feeling jubilee is this year... Hoping it will bust sooner than March (just me saying
) even if it comes at 10 cents (which I hope it's not), we at least can exchange some to breathe and with the tide is on, we can ride the wave a bit Hang in there and I pray God will multiply what you have in your hands many times that all your needs will be covered and most of all, He gives you peace that is beyond our understanding and hope. Let the weight be gone from your shoulders and that He gives you His yoke that is easy and light in Jesus name...
Be blessed, Kevin and look up.. the sun is still shining
Sister, Sister Nadita. Thanks, I feel that. Its what faith and God's family is all about.

LGD & DV family I hope so to, but I've had my hopes dashed many times before I ain't feeling it. I had to dip into the last tiny tiny emergency money account I have left to me yesterday. My trust in God and His provisions in my life is unshaken, it is blind hope in the IQD RV that has this man hoping at this point. Go RV, go RI, go increase in value. Go do it now.

Very interesting trends. I have a little idea of what they mean, i think. So as China goes so The US goes. Are our economies intwined to that degree. What does this indicate for Iraq as China's demand for their oil shrinks and oil producing competition from US fracking and Australia's recent oil discoveries expands?

DT, dynomite article. TC, AH, LGD, Easy you all seem to be correct IMHO. RV soon cuz I hate being stupid broke.

It would be better for it to be a couple of days instead of a couple of weeks. Duh. Get them what they need now or the Russians will walk in give them what we didn't and benefit from our blood, sweat, and tears.

How are things going in the battle against Al Qaeda in Iraq, trying to get them out of Falluja and back into Syria; according to your sources?

Don't forget the Majority of our U.S. Senators are millionaires now also. Apparently, as memory serves me there is a law that criminalizes insider trading on all of the US stock exchanges. Can we get an amen from Martha Stewart? There is a law that allows our Congressmen and Senators to get away with working on insider info. Specifically, if a Congressional or Senate Commitee is placing a new federal highway somewhere, your Congressperson or Senator can go in and buy said lands, before the commitees begin negotiations with the landowners on the proposed route of the new highway,l and then sell it back to the Feds at a inflated price. They can do the same thing with stocks in weapons manufacturing companies just prior to their awarding a new defense contract for widgets. The filthy rich Senator Joe Biden was by his own words dirt poor when he was 1st elected now he can buy the Vice Presidency.
So now the Obama and Democrat machine roars back to life with their income inequality campaigns to blow smoke before the eyes of the American people, so they can't or won't beable to focus on the failures of our current President. Fyi; I pray for my President.

TG you are the best. I appreciate the daylights outta you.
Will the Republicans be smart enough to keep this gem in their ammo box come the fall elections; taking it out at the right time and maximise its benefit to promote their proposals? Wounded American Vets, American Vets,Citizens of this country, a $24 billion dollar savings verses a $6 billion dollar savings, over benefits to people who immigrated into the US illegally. Thats a fine middle finger in the eye. I hope the Nancy Pelosi's of this country loose on this one alone come election time.

LGD, you're da man. Bro, your family and mine, we gotta do steaks after the RV cuz I got no money now. Maybe after I/we/all in DV-land set up our trusts and all that legal stuff to legally minimize our post RV tax consequences and manage our post RV wealth. Leave an inheritance to our kids and our grand kids. Fyi I don't have any Grand Kids yet but I am thinking about them.

Fantastic article. Never give up, never surrender GOI. Capitalize on everything you can. (Insert Sandfly comment here ...) Thanks.

TBomb: Thanks for the great and informative article. I agree with Maliki's statements to be inclusive of all tribes, all faiths, all political affiliations.
IMHO. the GOI of Iraq should never give up, never surrender, and never compromise as it manages its confrontations with terrorists. Destroy them as the GOI armed forces manuver them down the gauntlet and back into Syria where they can stay. Give them and Iran no comfort in Iraq. When this is completed they must negotiate with all parties, and include them in some way in the running of the GOI. Iraq should be democratic about it not theocratic.
IMHO, I believe it is fine that the GOI outlaws the Baathist Party (probably spelt that wrong) that would be like bringing back the aparthide government of South Africa if they were allowed to otherwise return; but include the Sunni's (and the Coptics, et al) in a negotiated functioning of Iraq on a federal, provincial, and local basis.

I found this, but I also want to know how the military portion of the campaign is going. A sorry response won't be good for an increase in value.
Iraq at the crossroads of destinyPosted by Iraq News Journal on Jan 08, 2014 | Leave a Comment
BAGHDAD – Iraq reached a crucial stage where the stands at a crossroads puts him two choices: either reconciliation and a return to democratic life, or the continuation of the division of political and social chaos and civil war, the overall division and then, according to the analysts say.
And plaguing Iraq since the U.S. withdrawal successive political crises, amid sectarian divide social security deterioration in parallel with a large turned the city of Fallujah, located only 60 km from the capital Baghdad on Saturday to the state after the Islamist occurred in the grip of al Qaeda.
He says political analyst Ihsan al-Shammari said that “the days are passing days determination. Coming days will determine the fate of Iraq fully, as the country stands at a crossroads: The State of democratic reconciliation or split Vfody comprehensive civil war and lead to the division.”
He adds, “is either a democratic Iraq where everyone is equal, and either go into the abyss.”
He lived in Iraq in 2013 enacted the bloodiest since the end of sectarian conflict in 2008, after the violence has escalated dramatically, especially those that carry sectarian character after storming Square sit-Sunni anti-authority controlled by Shiites in April in the process of which dozens were killed.
It was not the beginning of the year 2014 best on the security front, losing the security forces, for the first time in many years, control of the entire city for the benefit of al-Qaeda, where Fallujah is now in the grip of the “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.”
The fighters managed this organization known simply as “Daash” and cross-border with Syria, from the control of Fallujah and Ramadi, some areas of the city (100 km) west of Baghdad, despite the nearby military campaign aimed at his camps about ten days ago and used the aircraft.
The control of the al-Qaeda on the city of Fallujah, an exceptional event due to Avatar worn by the city, which has fought two battles Hrstein against U.S. forces in 2004.
The attack was the first American goal to subdue the Sunni insurgency in the city, saw miserably, what about Fallujah quickly into a refuge for al-Qaeda and its allies, who were able to control and impose a fait accompli in them.
And was killed in the second battle, about two thousand civilians in addition to the 140 American soldiers, in what was described as the harshest battle waged by U.S. forces since the Vietnam War.
And sees a political science professor at the University of Mustansiriya Essam Alfeli that “al-Qaeda cells have become the main effective close of Baghdad, and in this it’s miscalculation of the government has become a drag Iraq into the unknown, warned of further crises and social divide larger and more dangerous.”
He explains that “the successive political crises operated power for the next tsunami, tsunami Daash.”
The back of this organization in 2006 in Iraq at the hands of Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed in a U.S. air raid in the same year and his first goal was and still is the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the areas inhabited by the majority of the Sunnis in Iraq, and today in Syria as well.
This is the largest and most organized of the ability of the armed rebel groups and extremist in Iraq, where adopts most of the violence in the country, which often target security forces and the areas inhabited by the majority Shiites.
Observers believe that the restoration of this organization for the influence which he enjoyed in the period after the invasion due to his success in riding the wave of anger of the Sunni-based sense of marginalization and targeting repeated, pointing out that this does not mean that the Sunnis are turning to loyal to the base, but they limit the cooperation with government regulation in this hunt.
Says Charles Lester, a researcher at the Brookings Doha Center said that “the power and the control of extremist groups on the ground in Anbar expand” that share borders with Syria length of about 300 km, and was considered one of the main strongholds of al-Qaeda al-Zarqawi days.
He adds that the process of removing the sit-Sunni anti-government in the province last Monday, which was demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki accused of pursuing a policy of marginalization of the right of the year, pushed Sunni tribes to enter into conflict with the security forces “have successfully organizing Daash to ride the wave of Sunni anger this.”
In addition to the deterioration of security and the rampant corruption in the body of the state, Iraq suffers from paralysis at the level of the work of the government led by the conflicting currents of Sunni-Shiite sometimes threaten to resign, and at other times, inciting its partners in the Council of Ministers.
This paralysis extends to the House of Representatives, which is often merely postpone announcing its failure to reach agreement on the majority of important laws, at a time when the country stands on the threshold of new parliamentary elections at the end of April next year.
Al-Shammari and sees that “the authorities to focus on the parties of the moderate Sunni Arabs to attract them to the judgment and give them a large area at the level of the federal authorities even hope to see a democratic Iraq.”
He adds, “Sunni Arabs are the ones who will determine the fate of Iraq’s next.”

Does anyone know where the GOI is at regarding the Al Qaida thing? Have they done anything? Have they massed 1/2 of the troops on the border, encircled the towns with the exception of one small small corridor towards the Syrian border, and cut off all supply lines, water, electricity, and stuff? All before the raid which will take place after the air campaign bombs the fight out of them? After our satelites have determined their locations for the GOI. Succeeding in spectacular fashion, allowing Maliki to RV this puppy and leave office on a up note.
-
I pray this is true, and not just one more step in the right direction. A increase in the value of the IQD would put more power behind Maliki right about now, and boy could he use some good news.
