Suggests Grand Coalition Government Remains Possible, if Maliki Changes by Jason Ditz, March 22, 2010 Former Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi today vowed that the process for forming a government would not be a quick one, and that his Iraqiya faction would prevent the return to the

Published: March 22, 2010 The two top American officials in Iraq met Monday with Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki after his endorsement over the weekend of a recount in the parliamentary elections incited fears of a political crisis in a country not accustomed to peaceful transfers of power. In the political vacuum created by the delay in the tally of the March 7 vote, suspicions have run deep that fraud and political tampering could cast doubt on the validity of the elections. But American diplomats said they were assured that there was no crisis, after conversations between Mr. Maliki and the two officials, Gen. Ray Odierno, the top American military commander in Iraq, and Christopher R. Hill, the American ambassador. “We’re not picking up vibes of a crisis,” said a United States official in Baghdad who participated in the meeting with the prime minister. On Monday, Mr. Maliki and officials from his State of Law coalition, who are in a tight race with an alliance headed by Ayad Allawi, the former interim prime minister, did not back down from their call for a manual recount, despite the state election commission’s refusal. In a country burdened by its recent past of sectarian war and its longer past of rule by tyranny, and still unfamiliar with the mechanisms of democracy, every statement is parsed for deeper meaning. When Mr. Maliki invoked his commander-in-chief role and the specter of violence in calling for a recount on Sunday, he raised fears that he would not respect the democratic process. But the American official, who spoke anonymously as ground rules for a briefing with more than a dozen reporters Monday at the United States Embassy here, said Mr. Maliki played down any worries about violence, though he and other Iraqi officials expressed “concerns about the tabulations process and how it’s being carried out.” At the Defense Department on Monday, Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, declined to comment directly on Mr. Maliki’s public statement on the recount, but he stressed the importance of moving quickly and calmly toward forming a new government. “I see no indication of any increased security concern,” Mr. Whitman said. “Bringing the Iraqi elections to a resolution is important to do.” Election officials have counted about 95 percent of the ballots from the March 7 election, and have said they plan to release complete results Friday after investigating the most significant allegations of fraud made by political parties. But with State of Law not backing down from its recount demand, Friday’s planned announcement of the full results could set off a political showdown if Mr. Maliki’s coalition persists in questioning the result. On Monday, Hachem al-Hasani, a spokesman for State of Law, said that if the commission did not agree to a manual recount, “the question of legitimacy” would hang over the election results in the minds of the Iraqi people. A valid election and smooth transition to a new government are seen as pivotal events for the legacy of the American war here, as the United States military plans to remove all combat troops by the end of August, leaving 50,000 troops in an advisory role through 2011. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/23/world/middleeast/23iraq.html

Some Dream material for everyone!! SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - The days of vintage Mediterranean style are back in force, and here are the places where it all began, with website AskMen coming up with a list of top towns bordering the sea that have become the playgrounds of the rich and famous. Lifestyle | Italy This list is not endorsed by Reuters. 1. Portofino, Italy Portofino is the golden child of the Italian Riviera, one of the most beautiful locations in the world and the playground for everyone from Brigitte Bardot in the '60s to Berlusconi. Hotel Splendido, which remains intact and focuses on authentic cuisine, has played host to the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, and Ava Gardner. 2. Taormina, Italy Located on the east coast of Sicily, Taormina is often described as the epitome of southern Italian beach towns. Home to as many poets and painters as playboys and boulevardiers, Taormina represents the creative cross-section that has made the region famous for the last 60 years. Hotel El Jebel is a classic Mediterranean property that often serves as a meeting place for the many artists, celebrities and politicians that frequent town. 3. Cassis, France Cassis was once a small fishing village that retained the purity of southern France without the glitz and glamour of neighboring Nice, Cannes and St. Tropez. Cassis is still certainly less travelled by many tourists, but since the early 1950s it has become something of a hideaway for wealthy Europeans. Cassis is also home to some top-notch vineyards. The Michelin-star rated La Villa Madie may only be a few years old, but it is the type of restaurant designed to cater to the wealthy aristocrats and actors that call Cassis home. 4. Port Grimaud, France Conceived by architect Francois Spoerry in the 1960s as a "Provencal Venice," Port Grimaud retains the same canals and islands of its Italian inspiration, but with a decidedly more exotic atmosphere. Designed to be the midway point between St. Tropez and Frejus, Port Grimaud is now home to some of the wealthiest yacht enthusiasts in the world. 5. Haifa, Israel Many don't think of Israel when they think of Mediterranean beach towns, but Haifa is one of the best. Due to its peninsular locale, Haifa is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and offers a luxuriously European environment with a Middle Eastern twist. Lolka Restaurant is hidden in a low-light alley but offers some of the most storied seaside dining in the region. 6. Naxos, Greece Naxos is known as the greenest island in the area with high mountains and fertile valleys. The beaches are truly pristine and many of the island's inhabitants still work on looms each day and live off the land. That said, the beautiful landscape has not gone unnoticed and lately the Aegean jet-set crowd is making its way down Naxos' shores. The Lucullus taverna is a 100-year-old restaurant famous for the freshest grilled octopus in the region. 7. Positano, Italy While this Amalfi coast destination may not have the same lush, sandy beaches of other resort towns, it makes up for it with views of rocky seaside cliffs. There is also a bountiful selection of luxurious hotels and restaurants. The Hotel Il San Pietro is built into the side of a seaside cliff, and the lobby lift takes guests directly to a private beach. 8. Murcia, Spain Like Naxos, Murcia is known for being removed from the party scene, but that makes it popular with the art crowd. Murcia is a Spanish strip of long, desolate beaches. The Hotel Rincon de Pepe sits at the town center of Murcia and its bar, La Muralla, is known for its wide selection of liquor. This is the only area of town where original Arab walls still stand. 9. Abruzzo, Italy While Abruzzo faces the Adriatic, not the Mediterranean, the town's attitude is nothing short of quintessentially Med. Abruzzo is only 50 miles east of Rome and is home to 21 ski resorts, which makes the region popular both in the summer and winter. Ernesto is an often-recommended classic Italian restaurant that brings back the heydays of 1950s Rome and the bon vivants who made the short drive east here. 10. Menton, France Menton has some of the most desirable real estate on the planet, sitting snugly between Monaco and Italy. While not wild and raucous like either of its neighbors, it has proved to be a luxurious and lush playground for those looking to relax, rather than party, while on vacation. The Casino Menton is a grand old establishment offering high-stakes gambling and entertainment. Be warned, casino employees only speak French and Italian. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62I0LO20100319?type=lifestyleMolt

BAGHDAD, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al- Maliki called Sunday on the country's electoral commission to recount the vote of the country's March 7 elections. Related Former Iraqi PM pulls ahead again in partial voting count Iraqi ambassador to U.S.: Iraqis seeking political system based on free elections Iraqi PM slightly leads in partial results: electoral commission Former PM Ayad Allawi leads Iraqi parliamentary vote In a statement of his office, Maliki called on the Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) to positively respond to the demands of the political blocs to recount the votes of the parliamentary elections. He said in the statement that "I am as the executive official responsible for the drawing and implementing the policy of the country and as the commander in chief, I call for the IHEC to immediate response for the demands of the political blocs (recount votes) to safeguard the political stability and not return to violence." On Saturday, the IHEC released the 92 percent of the country's partial results of parliamentary elections, showing Maliki's rival, former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's Iraqia bloc collected 2,543, 632 votes and Maliki's State of Law coalition garnered 2,535,704. Maliki's demand on Sunday threatens the country's fragile political process to enter a new deadlock which would delay the announcement of the final preliminary results and put negative impacts on the future of the country's fresh democracy. With the 92 percent of the votes count of Iraq's 18 provinces, Maliki appeared winning in six Shiite southern provinces and Baghdad, the largest constituency with 70 seats, but he failed to lead in three other Shiite southern provinces which was won by his rival Shiite Iraqi National Alliance (INA). Allawi, on the other hand, made a strong appearance in four of Iraq's Sunni province and pulled ahead in the fifth, Kirkuk, where he was close to the rival Kurdish bloc which prevailed in the three Kurdish provinces in the semi-autonomous region in northern Iraq. On March 7, some 62.4 percent of more than 18 million eligible voters turned out in some 8,920 polling centers across the country to vote for the 325-seat Iraqi Council of Representatives out of some 6,300 candidates. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2010-03/21/c_13219189.htm (Reuters) - Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki called for a nationwide recount of votes from Iraq's March 7 parliamentary election, warning the country could return to violence if the demand was not met. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62J0Y820100321

March 20th, 2010 06:21 PM ET CNN Homepage A secular bloc eased ahead Saturday in the overall count of votes in Iraq's parliamentary elections, although the prime minister's coalition remained in front with the lead in several provinces. Despite the overall vote count, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's State of Law coalition remained in the lead in seven of the country's 18 provinces, including Baghdad province, according to partial preliminary results released by the Independent High Electoral Commission. Baghdad province, which includes the capital city, is the most populous, and offers 68 parliament seats of the 325-seat body. But in the overall vote count, former interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's al-Iraqia bloc has moved ahead by more than 7,000 votes, according to the partial preliminary results. Allawi's bloc holds the lead in five provinces. The parliamentary seats will be distributed in each province through an allocation formula, not by popular vote. The results released Friday are based on 92 percent of the votes counted from the March 7 election. The 92 percent is the national total - the percentage counted in each province varies. Votes are still being tallied and the race is still too close to call. On Saturday, electoral commission spokesman Judge Qassim al-Aboodi said the complete preliminary results will be announced when the commission has finished evaluating the political blocs' complaints. Election observers and the United Nations, which is assisting the electoral commission, have said that there were no signs of large scale fraud or vote manipulation. But the top blocs, including State of Law, have alleged violations and fraud. So far, the commission has looked at 1,150 complaints, with 829 remaining, al-Aboodi said. He said he expects the commission to finish examining the complaints either later Saturday or on Sunday. He said the commission has canceled 57 polling stations for voting irregularities and another for a procedural violation. Al-Aboodi said the canceled stations do not affect the turnout figures or results. About 6,200 candidates from more than 80 political entities were on the ballot for seats in parliament. Millions of Iraqis defied the threat of violence to cast ballots in the election, with nearly two out of three eligible voters turning out. At least 38 people were killed in attacks on voting day. The preliminary partial results appear to show that Iraqis voted along sectarian lines. Allawi's secular Iraqia bloc appears to have won in provinces with large Sunni populations, including the volatile Nineveh province, which is allotted the second-largest share of parliamentary seats after Baghdad province. Allawi, who served as prime minister in 2004, is a secular Shiite and his bloc includes prominent Sunni Arab politicians, such as Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi. The Shiite vote appeared largely divided between al-Maliki's State of Law alliance and the Iraqi National Alliance, the Iran-backed group that includes some of the country's top Shiite religious parties. In the three provinces in Iraq's semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan, Kurdish parties garnered most of the vote. Although the bloc that wins the most seats in parliament will be tasked to form a government, it appears that none will garner at least 163 seats for a majority in the 325-member Council of Representatives. As the votes are tallied, politicians have been negotiating and talking to bolster post-election coalitions. Unlike Iraq's last parliamentary vote, the country's Sunni Arab minority turned out in high numbers for the vote. In 2005, they largely boycotted the election, and felt sidelined when a Shiite-led government emerged. The results of the election helped fuel the insurgency, escalating a bloody sectarian war. There are concerns that the results of the election could re-ignite sectarian violence, should the Sunnis again feel marginalized. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/20/al-malikis-bloc-still-ahead-in-iraq-province-count/

8:17 PM [Adam Montana] *bama* * 8:17 PM [bumper64] *** removed off topic content, started new thread **** 8:20 PM [Adam Montana] I think it's awesome that 98% of the room is excited right now about the Dinar 8:21 PM [Adam Montana] one person said they are "anxious' 8:21 PM [Adam Montana] that's exactly what my CBI friend said today, he emailed me at about 9:30 PM yesterday his time 8:21 PM [Adam Montana] I guess that's about/..... 6 hours ago our time 8:21 PM [Adam Montana] I haven't had time to copy all of our emails this week, I was out today running errands 8:21 PM [Adam Montana] so I'll just summarize 8:21 PM [Adam Montana] first - my thoughts 8:22 PM [Adam Montana] we're not going to see a dang thing with the Iraqi Dinar changing rates until we hav a winner 8:22 PM [Adam Montana] Maliki was heavy in the lead in the beginning 8:22 PM [Adam Montana] now Allawi is scooping up some votes 8:22 PM [Adam Montana] so who knows who will take it 8:22 PM [Adam Montana] it doesn't matter 8:22 PM [Adam Montana] either man can do the job, it's just a matter of taking a left or a right and ending up at the same place 8:23 PM [Adam Montana] my personal thought is that when the dinar rate changes, it's going to come out at close to 10 cents. 8:23 PM [Adam Montana] that means if you have a million dinar, you'll end up with 100,000 USD to cash in 8:23 PM [Adam Montana] but if you're smart, you won't take that 100k 8:23 PM [Adam Montana] because after that, several things can happen 8:24 PM [Adam Montana] the Dinar will enter the market and float 8:24 PM [Adam Montana] or it will be controled by an ERM (exchange Rate mechanism) 8:24 PM [Adam Montana] if it floats, I'm buying MORE 8:24 PM [Adam Montana] if it goes on an ERM, I'm investing 8:25 PM [Adam Montana] ERMs are designed to last a limited time, and keep the currency within a certain point range 8:25 PM [Adam Montana] to control inflation etc 8:25 PM [Adam Montana] the Iraqi economy and currency is already stable 8:25 PM [Adam Montana] the only thing that's missing is significant value 8:25 PM [Adam Montana] I'm a big fan of the theory that if it comes out on an ERM, it will eventually become part of a larger currency, like the Gulf Dinar 8:26 PM [Adam Montana] I say I'm going to invest because companies on the ISX or operating in IRaq are going to soon be acquiring the same kind of wealth that the companies in Kuwait have 8:26 PM [Adam Montana] and as you know 8:26 PM [Adam Montana] Kuwait is over $3 per USD 8:26 PM [Adam Montana] if your million Dinar hits over three, that means that same 100k is worth 3MM 8:27 PM [Adam Montana] now 8:27 PM [Adam Montana] that's just my theory, the dime 8:27 PM [Adam Montana] I'd be happy with it 8:27 PM [Adam Montana] I'll skip to the bank to cash in half, actually 8:27 PM [Adam Montana] SKIP 8:27 PM [Adam Montana] but my CBI contact thinks I'm wrong, and I have reason to believe him 8:27 PM [Adam Montana] we've been emailing all week about some trucks coming in to the CBI, and he believes they are bringing smaller denoms 8:28 PM [Adam Montana] the reason is to handle the higher value - you can't buy bread with a $10,000 note 8:28 PM [Adam Montana] the catch here is something that blows my mind 8:28 PM [Adam Montana] they are planing on bringing in XXXXXX amount of trucks 8:29 PM [Adam Montana] but only have plans for YYYY labor to take extra trucks out 8:29 PM [Adam Montana] which means they are bringing in a HECK of a lot more small notes, if this is happening 8:29 PM [Adam Montana] than they plan on taking out 8:29 PM [Adam Montana] so, I hope I explained that all correctly 8:29 PM [Adam Montana] it's harder to type this than to say it. 8:29 PM [Adam Montana] here's his most recent email: 8:29 PM [Adam Montana] Adam, My friend, it is with great concern I am writing this tonight ... I have reason to believe our previous correspondence has led us to exactly what we seek, which is the culmination of this extraordinary event. Will be communicating with you early next week on events at home that lead me to believe I can determine the exchange rate in the very near future, nearly $ 1 in the price of the new Iraqi Dinar! I will tell you a little more, as soon as I get official confirmation of this amount from the category of small trucks had arrived. 8:30 PM [Adam Montana] At this time I do NOT want to unmod, but you can enter your questions in the chat

Saturday, March 20, 2010 1:45 A U.S.-CHINA TRADE WAR IS RAPIDLY brewing, as President Barack Obama pushes China to adopt a “market-oriented exchange-rate policy” and Premier Wen Jiabao sharply retorts that the yuan isn’t undervalued. Meanwhile, 130 members of the U.S. House of Representatives are pressing the Treasury Department to brand China a “currency manipulator” and to impose countervailing duties, while China promises swift retaliation..... Since taking office, President Obama has twice reneged on his campaign promise to get tough on Chinese mercantilism. However, his recent change in tone may signal that on April 15, the Treasury Department may finally brand China a currency manipulator in its latest biannual review........ http://beforeitsnews.com/news/26465/Yuan_Wars:_An_Emerging_Global_Threat,_Let_s_get_tough_with_China..html

Page last updated at 17:24 GMT, Saturday, 20 March 2010 Iyad Allawi: "We need to have a fast and transparant declaration of the results" The narrow leader in the race to become Iraq's next prime minister says poll results are taking too long to declare. Iyad Allawi, who headed the country from 2004 to 2005, told the BBC full results from the 7 March election should have been released days ago. Mr Allawi has a slim lead over current Prime Minister Nouri Maliki. But analysts say the count is so tight that a hectic period of coalition-building is likely to ensue once the results have been announced. With more than 90% of the votes counted, Mr Allawi's Iraqiya political bloc is ahead by nearly 8,000 votes. But Mr Maliki's State of Law alliance is ahead in seven of 12 provinces - meaning he stands to get more representation in a future parliament. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8578086.stm

UPDATED ON: Saturday, March 20, 2010 09:12 Mecca time, 06:12 GMT The latest results from Iraq's parliamentary election show the Iraqiya coalition, led by Iyad Allawi, the former prime minister, regaining a narrow lead. The State of Law coalition of Nouri al-Maliki, the current prime minister, remains ahead in Baghdad. Up to 93 per cent of the votes cast in the March 7 election have now been counted. However, the tally does not yet include the votes of soldiers, police or Iraqis living abroad. In the crucial province-by-province tally, al-Maliki has been ahead throughout the race, winning in seven out of Iraq's 18 provinces to Allawi's lead in five. http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/03/201032043553467740.html

Ronin7043, You did a great job!! Articles like this need to have there link posted along with the article!! The link gives everyone a chance to see where it came from and also so that they can tell if it is legit or not!!

The good part is that we have never heard so much chatter about the Dinar being re-valued as we have in the last couple of weeks! If it comes out at .10 or 3.22 we have still made some money and should be happy for that!!
