    If Stryker were so on the up and up he would share his stuff freely.  He charges people to be on his forum though.  I can get on DV and not have to be VIP.  That says something.

    Frankly, you shouldn't accuse someone of not being legit, if you have no clue what your talking about. Yes, after many years of providing what I consider to be a very valuable interpretation of the news we get from Iraq (FOR FREE) several members of his site convinced him that the site should go private. He didn't make that decision on his own. I know this because I was one of the ones who said he should. Just because it is a private site does not give you or anyone else the right to say he is not legit.. I know the man personally, and he is no Guru, doesn't claim to be, and hates to be called one. On this site, I AM a LIFETIME VIP member, so I don't mind paying for value. You on the other hand; Not so much.  If this get's me booted I guess that's the price I pay, but I at least I stand up for my friends when they are being unjustly put down.

  2. (I posted my thoughts on this elsewhere a few day's ago when this article first surfaced. Hope you don't mind me voicing my opinion here. This is simply my personal belief with no intel whatsoever to back it up. We all know, you can't really pin Iraq down on anything, nor can you place much if anything they say at face value.  My opinion is however the same now as when I first wrote it. It is however, jmo).

    I love this article! If memory serves me correctly, years ago China stated they would never revalue the yuan. Heck they even put that statement in an American newspaper ( I think it was the New York Times). They revalued the next day. Not a huge revalue, mind you,but a revalue non the less. 

    JMO, but this could very well be ( and personally, I think it is) the same type of tactic.
    Not saying it will revalue Tomorrow, but the method of operation appears to be similar. 

    I believe Kuwait also pulled a similar shenanigan when they stated that their currency value wasn't about to increase. Even though it was not an actual revaluation, increase it did. It went back to it's pre-war value.  Also the very next day.

    Again, I'm not saying tomorrow. Just passing along food for thought.

    Lets be real here. They would NEVER come out and say; "Oh by the way, we intend to raise the value of our currency in the immediate future. Speculators ( and I don't mean us; I'm talking about the BIG BOYS with deep pockets, even countries) would have a field day! Personally, this is one of the most exciting articles I've seen in some time. At least to me anyway.

     I haven't seen any articles that hinted that they were thinking of raising the value, so why make this statement now? Doesn't make sense. Unless of course that could possibly be exactly what they intend to do. I mean C'mon; They wouldn't put out false information on purpose would they? LOL.

    Oh now you tell me. This is the joke section. They should have told me when I joined. My mistake. I will leave you jokesters to yourselves then. I will look up where the people are a little more serious about their information.

    Wow! I never ( and I mean NEVER ) post here anymore, but the old timers on here know me, and they know I don't post junk. That being said allow me to say that you murd11 need to take a SERIOUS chill pill.

  4. Not so fast. If in fact this article is true (I have my doubts), then the 15 day ratification provision of the budget has not started.

     

     

    Article 73 of the Constitution of Iraq states the powers of the President.

     

    Article 73 says:

     

    Section three: Third: To ratify and issue the laws enacted by the Council of Representatives. Such laws are considered ratified after fifteen days from the date of receipt by the President.

     

    Thus, if the article being discussed here were true, and the President of the Republic has indeed not received it, then the 15 days has not even begun ( JMO)

  5. While I agree with your premise that our notes will be fine, I would have to disagree with your "reprint" statement. I have a couple of notes...None of mine has Kurdish language, and if any of you have one with it, I'd love to see a pic of that note.

    our notes will be fine, read it again.. says "REprint" The U.S does this all the time as many countries do.


    yes precisely. Happens when currency has been torn and wore over the years and managed by different exchanging of hands.  A reprint of the same currency and bring out new lower denom notes is what Iraq will do imho.

  6. The Sunnis said they won't cooperate till Maliki has a trial

    Ah ha ha ha ha

    Important if you don't know the next step >>>>>>

    First: The President of the Republic shall name the nominee of the Council of Representatives bloc with the largest number to form the Cabinet within fifteen days from the date of the election of the president of the republic.

    Second: The Prime Minister-designate shall undertake the naming of the members of his Cabinet within a period not to exceed thirty days from the date of his designation.

    Third: In case the Prime Minister-designate fails to form the cabinet during the period specified in clause "Second," the President of the Republic shall name a new nominee for the post of Prime Minister within fifteen days.

    Fourth: The Prime Minister-designate shall present the names of his Cabinet members and the ministerial program to the Council of Representatives. He is deemed to have gained its confidence upon the approval, by an "absolute majority of the Council of Representatives, "of the individual Ministers and the ministerial program.

    His cabnet has to have approval by an absolute majority

    Ah ha ha ha ha

    It's not that easy to do

    Ya don't " get a rope "

    Maliki had to compromise to get his absolute majority approval

    He didn't dictate it

    The new prime minister is not the prime minister yet

    He is only designated to form a cabnet that has to have a absolute

    Majority

    What ever that means

    Half + one to me is an absolute majority

    Ahmed Chalabi mounting a surprise internal Shiite challenge to the official Shiite alliance candidate, Haydar al-Abbadi of the Maliki list. There was also a third candidate, Faris Yusuf Juju, yet again a secularist. Abbadi did win the competition with Chalabi 149-107 but that was not enough for an absolute majority. Chalabi then withdrew and Abbadi won the second vote with 188 votes, though 76 deputies voted blank

    So hopfully they like the cabnet that addady forms

    Or they will be starting over

    I don't post much here anymore, but would like to weigh in my opinon on this one if I may. Granted, what you stated about the process is true. President names PM designate. PM designate has 30 days to form and name his cabinet and submit the names of each, as well as his platform. Each member of the cabinet must  be voted on individually, with approval requiring an absolute majority ( half plus one). IMO, with all the talk of a unified non sectarian govt, of which I truly believe Abbadi is indeed attempting to form, the only point we may disagree on is the ease of which this will be accomplished. Abbadi will pull this off with very little difficulty, ( again, IMO ) at which point he will be officially sworn in as the new PM of Iraq. Maliki will finally fade into the woodwork. I understand that there are differences of opinon in this regard. This one is mine.

    This is the source of the story

    But I can't translate anything off it so i have no idea who they are

    As I stated above, this news source is out of Jordan. The site seems legit, however no one else is reporting it. 24 hours have passed, and news this major, if true, would have been picked up by MULTIPLE news sources by now. I think it is merely one writers opinion to grab a headline.

    He added that "the first session of the Council will be held under the chairmanship of the older MP, who is / Adnan al-Janabi / from Watania coalition in order to call the House of Representatives to elect a president and two deputies, and then continue the sessions."/ End

  11. I agree Thug, newshounds just post em. We don't write em. As for this one, I too expect to see a harsh rebutal soon. I have been checking multiple news sources, and 8th day is the only one I can find reporting this. If it were true, I think there would be multiple sources jumping on this one.  I think valu got your network confused with the other guys, you know the clowns on TV. ( The lady clowns there have very attractive gams by the way).   Personally, I think this article is most likely very incorrect. Thanks for posting it though. A good newshound always reports the good, bad, and the ugly. :tiphat:

    NOTICE

    - - - - - - -

    CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH

    RESPECT TO THE STABILIZATION OF IRAQ

    On May 22, 2003, by Executive Order 13303, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by obstacles to the continued reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq.

    The obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security in the country, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303, as modified in scope and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13438 of July 17, 2007, must continue in effect beyond May 22, 2014. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to the stabilization of Iraq declared in Executive Order 13303.

    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

    BARACK OBAMA
