Paraliments opening session
I think that Maliki will delay the opening session which is what we are seeing as far as the dates moving around....... Maliki won't walk into parliament ..... to be removed from power ..... ( just a guess
)Watch for the Erbil agreement, security ministers, and government formation just before the parliamentary session.
At first, I thought.... it was kind of the wrong move to mention "no confidence" while they are out of session.... But this really places allot of pressure on the Shiites and Maliki to implement the changes before the parliamentary session returns. This is a tactical delay.... with a clear ending....
Maliki and the Shiites are probably negotiating for their political lives.... Losing power..... is probably not on their things to do list..( regardless of any of the inside or outside of Iraq ....influences controlling Maliki ).. Just move forward Maliki,.... that's all ......everyone wants.........
Also Maliki is probably using any means possible to .... reverse the ....."signatures".......
Start of parliamentary session maybe a moving target until they get an agreement.... the good thing is that there is a great amount of pressure...... to move forward.....
this is my take

Hung?
For what? For not giving in to pressure? For being too a strong leader?
Please list one single documented crime the Prime Minister of Iraq has committed.
I bet you can't because he hasn't. (never listed in the news at DV)
Way too many people on this forum openly calling for the death of the leader of Iraq.
Some openly say he should be assassinated and some say executed.
I am yet to see one person give a reason they think this mans life should be taken or even why charges should be brought against him.
Well, let's start with usurping the constitution since he fraudulently negotiated his way into office. He refuses to implement the agreements that brought him to power, and he occupies six positions when he should occupy one. He continually ignores human rights abuses at Camp Ashraf. He brought charges against Hashemi and Mutlaq for simply speaking out against him. There are allegations of secret prisons and torture-induced confessions that, let's face it (It's Iraq), are most likely true, and probablydocumented in the files the opposition is holding. Maliki's a gangster. Not that that's anything new in Iraq, but it's no excuse.

I have a feeling this is what it's going to end up having to come down too... I don't see him stalling this long just to give up power now...
Well, it looks like the CIA is in town.
Just sayin'.

So what could these surprises be? They all agree on something?
It may go along with the article that alleged Maliki told Talibani he would prefer to resign. Maliki's risking a lot, sticking around. If he goes to this vote and loses, he's probably going to end up hung. If he implements Erbil and loses 2/3 of his power, he might end up hung at the end of his term. If he resigns now, they'll probably give him a billion dollars just to go away, and he gets to retire in England. Of course, he could go to the vote and win, but it sure looks like the good guys have the votes. I sure wouldn't want to take that chance.

Someone mentioned, last week, that Iraqi government employees get paid on the 6th or 7th in dinars. Could this be the immediate mad rush to trade them for dollars due to the discrepancy between the street value and official value? That would explain why the auction yesterday was so small. Just not as much left out there, a month after their last paycheck, to trade in.

eBay seems to think about $5.
While we're at it, I inexplicably found 1 commie Russian ruble, cleaning out an old dresser a few days ago. I don't suppose that's getting RV'd anytime soon, huh?

LOL, every article in the media is from "a source which declines to be named" or "an official". But now they want names and for them to be exposed. pfffft.
Well, sure, but how's Maliki gonna stay in power if he doesn't know who to assassinate before the vote?

:lol: don't forget, no news either... dozens, we may need the riot police...
Besides, it's Iraq. If they're not blowing something up, they're not really all that upset. I wonder if any effigies were slapped with shoes. That means kinda pissed, right?

It seems like many of these so called "pro's" and "experts" are comming up off of using the word "scam". I guess they are beginning to do their homework a bit more these days.
They're not doing enough.

Seems like there would be more recent confirmation, but here's hoping.
I so can't wait to not care about this again.

I don't fully agree with SWFL comment but I think his comment of the Dinar going from 1170 to 1165 as a "Weakening" was more so for those buying the Dinar would receive less Dinars to the dollar and that would be a Weakening situation but for those already having made purchase(s) of the Dinar then when the values of the Dinar to the dollar comes down and becomes available to trade then that is a strengthening situation.
Also removal of Iraq out of Chapter 7 will thus allow Iraq to conduct business on all open markets
Well, then, here's hoping it "weakens" to 1:1.
My Father told me be carefull not to boast about knowledge your unsure about? because you just may be standing next to the person who knows! NICE WORK ReVbo
Looks like SWFloridaGuys, Father should have had a talk with him?
That wasn't SWFG's post. He was just posting some amateur hour stuff from some 8th-rate Forex site. SW is one of the good guys. Thanks, btw.

6-5-2012 "While the Iraqi Dinar has become a currency-du-jour of sorts, with many so-called experts claiming that it is a smart investment option for foreign exchange traders, the current underlying fundamentals of Iraq and the Middle East on the whole make it an unappealing trading opportunity for the time being and years to come. Primarily, there is no market for the Iraqi Dinar (spot: USDIQD) right now. Starting in 2004, following the US led invasion of Iraq, the Dinar has faced illiquid market conditions amid continued uncertainty of the political outlook of the country. Despite appreciating from 2004 to early 2009, since February 2009, the USDIQD has held steady near a de facto currency peg of 1 US Dollar = 1170.00 Iraqi Dinar. In January 2012, it weakened to 1165.00. Despite these conditions, investors are still drawn to the prospect of a POLITICALLY STABLE Iraq in the future, and, more likely, finding exposure to movements in oil – good reasons to invest in a potential commodity. Currently, Iraq’s oil reserves are the second largest in the world – a scintillating prospect for investment should Iraq increase the number of barrels of oil it exports a day. However, given that there are few buyers and sellers of the Iraqi Dinar currently, those seeking to expose themselves to the prospect of appreciating oil prices should look elsewhere." http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/fundamental/article/special_report/2012/06/05/Want_to_Trade_the_Iraqi_Dinar.html
OK, I'll take a stab at this...
"Primarily, there is no market for the Iraqi Dinar."
There's no market because Iraq is under Ch7 sanctions. Remove sanctions, and voila, market.
"...the USDIQD has held steady near a de facto currency peg of 1 US Dollar = 1170.00 Iraqi Dinar."
Of course it's held steady. It's held there by the CBI.
"In January 2012, it weakened to 1165.00."
I must not be paying very close attention, but isn't IQD going from 1170 to 1166 a strengthening of the dinar, not a weakening?
I'm just a humble mortgage guy, but this guy seems to be making some pretty poor arguments for an expert.
By the way, why can't these folks ever get a big name to address this? I remember, a few months ago, Forbes Magazine came all the way down to little ole Birmingham, Alabama, and talked to some no name financial adviser, when they could have literally talked to ANYONE.

hmmmm I heard referendum is a terrible driver. She drives like a bat out of hell. I would pray referendum not pick me up either. I would rather ride my three legged Kamel thankyou!
You speak excellent Arablish, zig. I think I understood your response even less than the original post. So, is he saying he doesn't want a vote, as long as Maliki agrees to the Erbil 5's terms?
-

Well, nice try dude. how much did Maliki pay you to get all those microphones to relay this message? The vote is not yet, and will be, and will happen. Unless you have some miracle of all or erbil and ministers and services for the people overnight? Hasn't happened in 8 years, and the last 2 years he has concentrated on his dictatorship.
The SLC mouthpieces sure are out in force today, huh?

at first it was "no way, a no confidence is an impossible dream" now it's WHEN the no confidence happens it needs to go to the federal court. sounds like someone is getting scared. i still don't get why he isn't saying "just give me the damn erbil and i'll sign it or announce it or whatever... why is he not addressing this issue? also, does any one know if their constitution actually requires the federal court to come into the picture, because maliki has them in his pocket?
No kidding. This is BS, right? Since when does the court have to sign off on a no confidence vote? Seems like we would have heard that before.

All Christian metaphors (and others) aside, if Frank truly believes that Maliki will not step down, then I cannot see how this will be resolved and the dinar RVed. Shabibi has made it very clear that he will not RV until the GOI is fully formed and the critical ministers are seated. Assuming that that will not happen while Maliki is on the throne, then how can Frank seriously believe that Shabibi will go ahead and reward the antics of a dictator by giving him an RV? IMO, one is not compatible with the other. Either Maliki is forced out and the dinar is RVed or Maliki stays and things just drag on as they are. Let's hope the no-confidence has teeth and is backed up forceably.
It doesn't have to be Maliki is voted out, or he sticks around as a dictator. Of course, those are possibilities, and I have no idea how this is going to play out, but I'm starting to lean towards some kind of negotiated settlement. With all this debate about whether they have the signatures, and if they do, are they real, and if they're real, will the signatories actually vote that way, the Erbil 5, and specifically Talibani, seem very hesitant to take this to a vote. Maliki is trying to keep up the appearance of strength by threatening to arrest Sadr, and demanding verification of the votes, but he's got to be sweating this. Neither side seems confident enough in its position to really want to go to the wall.
I think either Maliki resigns with immunity from prosecution or he implements Erbil and stays. Either way, we get paid.
