Yeah, that was from yesterday, and I was wrong about our response. The ISIS thing looks like it's gonna take a while. I didn't want that taken from another site. Please delete this thread, mods.

This Shabibi sentencing thing has been bugging me, and I wanted to see if there was still a possibility for him to come back, and sure enough, there is. Turns out, according to the Iraqi constitution, the President can issue pardons at the request of the Prime Minister, so Maliki getting Mahmoud to convict Shabibi and sentence him, in absentia, can be undone and Shabibi could still, theoretically, come back. It seems like it's actually a good thing that he got convicted because you can't pardon someone who hasn't been convicted yet. http://www.cleveland.com/world/index.ssf/2008/12/iraqi_shoe_hurler_asks_prime_m.html "According to Iraq's constitution, President Jalal Talabani can issue a pardon if recommended by the prime minister, except for certain offenses including international crimes. That would enable the government to put an end to the affair without risking a backlash from al-Zeidi's admirers. Such pardons are ordinarily issued only after someone has been convicted."

As everyone is aware, Kap believes in a float from 1166, but he didn't censor this article. He posted it, himself, around midnight last night, and it's still up.

I didn't give him the red, but it's not news. It's propaganda from a leftist rag.

Simple solution. Lower corporate taxes and watch mega corps from around the world flood into America. It's shameful that Canada has lower taxes than we do, and Burger King's first responsibility is to its owners, not the American government or the tax eaters our taxes pay for. Their board of directors would be derelict as managers if they didn't leave. Lower taxes would benefit mom and pop, too. Stupid article written by a stupid person who doesn't know the first thing about running a business.

No. Thanks you, rd. Now, put on a shirt.

Let's not get too down about this. This article followed that one by a few minutes. Breaking News Speaker urges MPs to prepare for attending urgent session to announce formation of new government Published: 2014/9/3 17:46 • 4 Reads Baghdad (Forat) –The parliament adjourned its session to next Saturday. MP, Hashim al-Musawi, said to Alforat News Agency "Parliament adjourned its session to next Saturday," noting that "The Speaker, Saleem al-Jobouri, urged MPs to prepare themselves to attend an urgent session on next Thursday or Friday to announce the formation of the new government." /End/ [link to www.alforatnews.com]

The irony of an "apocalyptic" group that can be contained with nine air strikes a day doesn't seem to be lost on the writer of this piece.

Ya know all the people who come in to every thread just to say, "Thanks?" That annoys me sometimes. Mostly when they bump threads from the previous day. It's confusing is all.

And I love your tiny little dragon. Never had a good chance to say that, but you have the coolest avatar on the site. Thanks for everything you do, TBomb. You are one smart lady.

Well, there's still gonna be, like, 20 ministries. That's well in line with most normal countries. We only have 16 Departments, and it seems to work okay. Maliki had 39, I think, and they were mostly proxies, so as long as each minister has control of his ministry, I think it's gonna be alright. LOL! No response from the Thank You Crew. Maybe they do read the articles. You'd think they would have something to contribute every now and then if they do.

I'm actually okay with combining ministries, TBomb. I would be concerned if, say, they were going to merge Interior and Defense, but they're not combining the really important ministries, just doing away with overlapping regulators, and I think that's a great thing that we could use more of around here. They don't need a minister of electricity and a minister of oil, and giving both to one guy, in my opinion, will eliminate waste, save money, and get some government off of some businesses' backs.

They're a tricky site. Everything sounds good, and it's well written, but it's propaganda. Don't sweat it. There are so many sources, it's hard to keep them straight, but I noticed a pattern from Chakooch last year, and it hasn't failed me yet.

More indication that they will hold a vote on Monday. Just as a quick test, if I get any thank you's from the Thank You Crew, that means you guys don't read any of these articles. I'm even gonna make this bold to make it fair.

Chakooch is a BS Turkish site, Nadita. That would be great, and there are indications we will get a government on Monday, but I got burned a couple times by Chakooch a while back, and have followed their articles for over a year, and none of them ever pan out.

Well, his "Matrix of Information" had been predicting Maliki would get a third term for the past four months, so if it's now telling him that the revalue will not occur because Maliki is gone, I'd say that's a very good thing for us.

Not me, man. I just came in to set the record straight on the articles that said the court had ruled in Maliki's favor. I wasn't looking for an argument. As of today, the court has basically decided to punt and wait and see if it works itself out, which it mostly likely will since Maliki has zero support left. There's even an article that says Maliki is about to drop his complaint. We'll see how that works out, but I'm not looking for a fight.

Maliki is too far gone at this point. It's just one day, and the way the play around with their holidays, they can easily go with Masoum's argument that Eid was actually three days and not two, and say the real deadline was Monday. Maliki's constitutional lawyer, Harb, had already said abadi's appointment was legal, and for the court to disagree now, they would be taking on Sistani, Harb, every Sunni, every Kurd, and as of about two hours ago, even Maliki's own Dawa Party.

Yep, and he was wrong. After Sistani's letter to Dawa was revealed earlier today, Dawa abandoned him. He just lost his last 28 friends in Iraq.

From the same day. Those were BS articles that said the court had ruled SoL the largest bloc. Federal documents ..mahkma denies naming largest bloc of state law August 11, 2014 BAGHDAD - ((eighth day)) Denied judicial authority, on Monday, rumors mm news about call it a coalition of state law largest bloc in the House of Representatives, noting that what was done by the Federal Supreme Court this morning is that they sent a formal letter written to the President of the Republic to adopt the court's decision No. 25 for the year 2010 to determine the biggest bloc did not characterize a particular block. The court denied the Iraqi Federal Supreme channel reported that the Iraqi court issued a decision to nominate a coalition of state law, the largest bloc in parliament. He said court spokesman Abdul Sattar Bayrakdar said in remarks to the BBC, "The channel is not reported properly and we are not responsible for what was received from this statement" He explained Birqadr that "what was done by the Federal Supreme Court this morning is that they sent a formal letter written to the President of the Republic to adopt the court's decision No. 25 for the year 2010 to determine the biggest bloc did not characterize a particular block." She stressed that the judicial power of the Federal Court's decision, issued in 2010 is still in force and effect. A spokesman for the federal judiciary Judge Abdul Sattar Bayrakdar "The Federal Supreme Court has not received any request or claim concerning the interpretation of Article 76 of the Constitution relating to the concept of the largest parliamentary bloc to form a government in charge." He Birqadr that "the Federal Court issued a decision in 2010 interpreted Article 76 of the Constitution," adding that "this decision in force and is binding on all the authorities." The president of the Federal Court judge, Medhat al-Mahmoud, earlier that "the biggest bloc is composed under the dome of the parliament and that the largest parliamentary bloc, which formed the government in 2010 are the same that will form the ministerial cab for the year 2014." https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ar&tl=en&u=http://8th-day.com/%3Fp%3D64007&usg=ALkJrhgf1OsN03nIjrzF--OKhy5mgdZP7A

I didn't see that, but if he filed it Sunday, that's what he's talking about today. He wants the results of the decision on that case before he will leave. The articles posted in this thread all reference the previous "largest bloc" issue that was resolved when the court refused to issue a new ruling and fell back to its ruling from 2010.

The court did not rule that State Law was the largest bloc, as these articles suggest, or Abadi would not be the nominee, and Maliki is threatening to file a new lawsuit based on your argument that Masoum filed a day late. Two different cases, one of which has been turned down by the court, and the other of which has yet to be filed. Incidentally, Maliki lost his argument on the largest bloc because he made the same argument, in 2010, that his adversaries in the National Alliance made a month ago, and Maliki won in 2010, so the court would be overturning precedent if it ruled in SoL's favor now, so the court fell back on its ruling from 2010 that National Alliance is the largest bloc. This argument about Masoum being a day late is laughable, considering Maliki took 10 months to be nominated in 2010.
