Expert: system (split national) will promote the work of credit card and facilitates the circulation of funds in the market 8/19/2012 | (Voice of Iraq) - Add a comment - Baghdad (news) stressed the economic expert Majid picture on the importance of establishing a system of "chunked" National connecting banks telecommunications network standard that will develop the banking system and facilitate the circulation of funds in the domestic market, noting that it will promote the work of credit card and how to handle them. said Suri (of the Agency news): The advent of the central bank to implement a project to establish a system of "chunked" National is an achievement in itself, because it will develop the banking system and accelerate the work, in addition to that he will promote from credit cards to citizens and which will facilitate the circulation of funds in the market. continued: as well as he will allow the central bank to control the banking system directly and would limit the violations that take place mostly by some banks through a central "automatic" watching her work. between: that so important projects must offer and implement, regardless of the current circumstances because he was supposed to be applied since a long time, pointing to the banking system desperately needs to fly its work through the introduction of modern electronic systems in his work as a "national divider."

Iraqi Sunni cleric's convoy struck by bomb Posted: Aug 19, 2012 4:16 AM CDT Updated: Aug 19, 2012 9:26 AM CDT National NewsMore>> Associated Press BAGHDAD (AP) - A bomb struck the convoy of a senior Sunni cleric in western Baghdad on Sunday morning, killing four and critically wounding the anti-extremist Muslim leader, police said. The attack highlights the threats faced by relatively moderate Sunni clerics whom the Shiite-led government needs to rebuild the country and establish security, and follows a series of assaults in what is becoming an increasingly bloody month. The blast in the capital's Yarmouk neighborhood left Sheik Mahdi al-Sumaidaie badly hurt, a Sunni religious official said. The cleric had just finished leading prayers at a nearby mosque to mark the beginning of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which follows the holy month of Ramadan. Al-Sumaidaie has sided with the government against Sunni extremists. Earlier this year, he called for a unified religious authority to bridge the gap between Iraq's Sunnis and Shiites. Insurgents often target Sunni clerics seen as working closely with the Shiite-led government. Two police officers and a hospital official confirmed the attack. They said four of the cleric's bodyguards were killed and three others were wounded. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. Al-Sumaidaie was one of the Sunni religious leaders who called on followers to fight U.S.-led forces after the 2003 invasion. He established a conservative Salafi group based in one of the mosques on Baghdad's Sunni-dominated western side. After U.S. troops left, his group was among those who abandoned their weapons and sided with the government against Sunni extremists. Since then, he has urged followers to support the government for the sake of security and to help rebuild the country. Violence fueled by sectarian differences has declined in Iraq since its height between 2005 and 2008, though deadly attacks continue to occur almost daily and have picked up in recent weeks. About 200 people have been killed since the start of August. On Thursday, a relentless assault across the country killed at least 93 people and wounded many more. It was the second deadliest day in Iraq since U.S. troops left in December. No group has claimed responsibility for that wave of killings, but it bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida's Iraqi branch. The local al-Qaida franchise, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, has vowed to make a comeback in areas it once held before the U.S. and its local allies pushed it out. http://www.abc27.com/story/19313387/iraqi-sunni-clerics-convoy-struck-by-bomb

tandy, I normally read the State Department Press Briefing regularly. From the whole month of August, there has been one statement to the press concerning Iraq. The US may be putting pressure on Iraq, but they certainly are not releasing much info to the US press. QUESTION: Yeah. Could you update us on the status of the American ambassadorship in Iraq? MR. VENTRELL: I don’t have an update for you. On personnel decisions for ambassadorships, I refer you to the White House. QUESTION: Okay. So it is the chargé d'affaires who’s taking care of things? MR. VENTRELL: We still have a chargé. QUESTION: Okay. But these are really very critical times for both Iraq and the United States, considering all that is going on in Syria and allegations that the Government of Iraq is releasing a wanted member of the Lebanese Hezbollah and so on. Do you know anything about that? MR. VENTRELL: Which case are you referring to? QUESTION: Well, the Iraqi Government is fixing to release a member of the Lebanese Hezbollah militia. MR. VENTRELL: Well, first of all on the wider issue of our ambassadorship there, obviously, as soon as we’re able to nominate someone and fill that post, we look forward to doing that. As you know, I would also say that we did just have our ambassador to Afghanistan confirmed. We continue to urge the Senate to confirm our ambassador to Pakistan, and when we have an ambassador to nominate to Iraq, we will. On the particular case that you’re discussing here, we continue to believe that Daqduq should be held accountable for his crimes. And while we do strongly oppose recent decisions by the Iraqi judiciary, protections for the accused are built into the judicial systems, including our own, and we understand that there is – we await another decision from the Iraq – from their highest appeal court. QUESTION: Now, the United States has really invested a great deal of time, effort, and money in Iraq, and Iraq proposed itself as a robust U.S. ally. But they seem to be contradicting your position on Syria, especially with their ties to Iran. Could you in any way elaborate on this issue? MR. VENTRELL: Well, we do have a good and robust and strategic partnership with the Iraqi Government. As you know, our Strategic Framework Agreement, which was signed a few years ago, really is the outline for our deep and intensive and ongoing relationship with the Iraqi Government on a number of fronts. Whether it’s with civil society and education and some of those areas, or again, on rule of law and other areas, we have an ongoing relationship with the Iraqi Government that is robust and covers a number of different areas. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/dpb/2012/08/196242.htm#IRAQ

Gm, yota. Thank you for the post. I find it very interesting that the cost for minting the coins stayed @16B dinars after approximately a ten year period. I know the labor cost of minting the coins has to have risen significantly during the previous ten years. If you look at the cost of metal over the past ten years, they to have risen significantly. http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=nickel&months=120 . Maybe they are using the same coins, or maybe they are just minting fewer of them because they will have a much greater value. Just a thought. There's something else I found. Iraq at one time, because the price of metal had increased significantly, put out a tender to sell their recofllected coins for scrap metal. Because the cost of scrap metal rose higher than the actual value of the coins, the central bank of Iraq withdrew all coins tendering a bid to sell the coins for scrap metal. This information is subject to frequent change in the current conditions. http://www.southtravels.com/middleeast/iraq/money.html

Thanks Socal for the post. I've been waiting for the Hammer to come down on the Hard Currency moving from Iraq to Syria and Iran. In some way I felt the US was taking a blind eye approach to this whole scenario because it was allowing the CBI to pull in Trillions of Dinar. So patiently I will watch and hope that Shabs pulls the trigger before the whole system comes crumbling down. All I can say, is be ready to move fast when Shabs pulls the trigger. I'm thinking hard assetts.

R2D2, Homeland security bought Billions, Social Security bought 174,000. saw the invoice on this sight. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/08/17/Social-Security-Admin-To-Purchase-174-000-Hollow-Point-Bullets

Loco Calm Down! Did you look under the mattress? I pray you find it!

Holy Moley, I love this rumor! I've heard Eagle one speak before. I like him. I'm not sure about the Trillions in US banks, but I like the way he's thinkin.

grand pubah, the ability to do this would be emense for me, because pulling money out of 401k's I would lose almost 50% of my investment, but.... When the sytem goes down, anything we have in paper (ie stock certificates) there is a potential to lose 100%. this is my delima... What to do what to do?

Good evening rock, I guess what I was implying that the CBI would eventually move into more of an electronic modus operandus: An open market operation An open market operation (also known as OMO) is an activity by a central bank to buy or sell government bonds on the open market. A central bank uses them as the primary means of implementing monetary policy. The usual aim of open market operations is to control the short term interest rate and the supply of base money in an economy, and thus indirectly control the total money supply. This involves meeting the demand of base money at the target interest rate by buying and selling government securities, or other financial instruments. Monetary targets, such as inflation, interest rates, or exchange rates, are used to guide this implementation process. Since most money now exists in the form of electronic records rather than in the form of paper, open market operations are conducted simply by electronically increasing or decreasing (crediting or debiting) the amount of base money that a bank has in its reserve account at the central bank. Thus, the process does not literally require new currency. However, this will increase the central bank's requirement to print currency when the member bank demands banknotes, in exchange for a decrease in its electronic balance. When there is an increased demand for base money, the central bank must act if it wishes to maintain the short-term interest rate. It does this by increasing the supply of base money. The central bank goes to the open market to buy a financial asset, such as government bonds, foreign currency, gold, or seemingly nonvolatile (until the 2008 financial fallout) MBS's [3] (Mortgage Backed Securities). To pay for these assets, bank reserves in the form of new base money (for example newly printed cash) are transferred to the seller's bank and the seller's account is credited. Thus, the total amount of base money in the economy is increased. Conversely, if the central bank sells these assets in the open market, the amount of base money held by the buyer's bank is decreased, effectively destroying base money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_market_operation

Wael Abdul Latif, is just mad because he has not been invited to any of Talibani's private parties in Germany. Germany, yes that's where the plan is being put together. Talibani has nothing to worry about accept his health. Maliki is fading into the the dark past of Iraq. IMo, once this thing goes down everyone is going to say Maliki who?

This is good, Thanks Carrello, hope your doing well! I am waiting for the Auctions to STOP.

When I saw where Social Security bought 174 thousand rounds of Hollow points. Something is definetly up.

$5.75 ! Are you sure your sober?

Thanks yota, thanks gama. I'm getting so excited, I'm becoming a nervous wreck! I've been praying about discernment with investment. Thanks again.

GM yota, It's amazing what Shabs has pulled off in the last year. He's been able to increase Foreign Currency Reserves by almost 10B and pull Trillions of IQD off the market this last year with very little help from the GOI. If Iraq is Has the ability to grow their foreign currency reserves at this rate over the next three years, there's no tellin what their currency will be worth. JMO

Sorry Texas1, I stand corrected. I have never seen the movie and Thanks Thug for correcting me.

Texas1, are you implying Stryker is Okie? I don't think so. Stryker is very much respected and missed here. I wish I knew where he is posting because he has an excellent insight of what is going on in Iraq. Have Faith we are almost there!

Thanks for the post Snotrocket. Oh I will go see this movie Here's what the New York Times wrote about it. Dinesh D’Souza — the author of the best seller “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” and a former American Enterprise Institute fellow — is not a fan of President Obama. (...and neither am I)The strident documentary “2016: Obama’s America” (co-directed with John Sullivan) builds on Mr. D’Souza’s 2010 cover article for Forbes, which asserts that Mr. Obama pursues his father’s left-leaning, “anticolonial” ideals. Here they are presented as flaws consistent with the senior Obama’s multiple relationships, alcoholism and fatal auto accident in 1982. Movie Review Documentary Exploring Obama’s Political Roots ‘2016: Obama’s America,’ Directed by Dinesh D’Souza OAF The director Dinesh D’Souza interviewing George Obama. By ANDY WEBSTER Published: August 12, 2012 Dinesh D’Souza — the author of the best seller “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” and a former American Enterprise Institute fellow — is not a fan of President Obama. The strident documentary “2016: Obama’s America” (co-directed with John Sullivan) builds on Mr. D’Souza’s 2010 cover article for Forbes, which asserts that Mr. Obama pursues his father’s left-leaning, “anticolonial” ideals. Here they are presented as flaws consistent with the senior Obama’s multiple relationships, alcoholism and fatal auto accident in 1982. Mr. D’Souza argues that the president has emasculated NASA, refused to take a “meaningful step” against Iran’s nuclear ambitions and is willing to let Argentina reclaim the Falkland Islands from the British. He paints in ominous terms the president’s conciliatory 2009 speech in Cairo and envisions a foreboding future in which the Middle East becomes a “United States of Islam.” Echoing his views are Paul Vitz, a New York University psychology professor; Daniel Pipes, a founder of the Middle East Forum, who says that “the state of Israel is seen as a horrible entity” by the administration; the writer and academic Paul Kengor; and the former Comptroller General David Walker, who warns about the national debt. Mr. D’Souza revives figures tied to Mr. Obama by conservative critics in the last election, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright; the Chicago educator, activist and former radical Bill Ayers; and Edward Said, a Palestinian scholar and a professor of Mr. Obama’s at Columbia, who died in 2003. Mr. D’Souza stumbles when interviewing George Obama, the president’s half-brother, an activist who voluntarily lives amid squalor in Nairobi, Kenya. “Obama has not done anything to help you,” Mr. D’Souza says. “He’s taking care of me; I’m part of the world,” George Obama replies. Eventually, we see blunt imagery like Benjamin Franklin’s face on a burning $100 bill and a shot of the Statue of Liberty. Not interviewed by the filmmakers are Obama’s political supporters, but this isn’t that kind of documentary. At a show on Saturday night, the film’s conclusion was met with claps and cries of “Romney!,” “Ron Paul!,” “Reagan!” and “Another Reagan!” “2016: Obama’s America” is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested) for strong language and smoking. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/13/movies/2016-obamas-america-by-dinesh-dsouza.html?_r=1

Sterilization (economics)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_(economics)

It is known The reserves of Iraq's foreign currency increased on the (67) billion dollars now, and this amount belongs to the people of Iraq and his agent in his administration according to law is the Central Bank of Iraq to the given law immunity of the Central Bank of Iraq and prevent the intervention of any of the particular parties, government affairs and report its policies according to the text Law No. (95) Article II Not sure what kind of Doctor Chalabi is, but I guess he does not know the Foreign Currency Reserves are assetts that belong to the Central Bank of Iraq.

Ah Oh, Sack or Sign? Just sign it Maliki and get this over with.

GM k98nights, this is very good news. Mahmoud thought it'd be better for the KRG to wait for the approval of its share (of 17%) from the Iraqi budget or else any fluctuation in the share from Baghdad may require amendments to Kurdistan budget law. They also do not have the new rate.
