  3. I think the person who was confused was just not quite awake yet .
  4. The Iraqi government for the first time reveals: Unemployment in Iraq, 27 percent and foreign debt 125 billion dollars? ***Brought in by dinardragonfly---Thank You!!!*** Palm - The economic adviser to the Iraqi government Kamal Basri, said the state alone can not provide additional job opportunities in the worsening unemployment in the country at a rate ranging between 25 and 27 percent have frequently the public sector and companies awash with staff and there is already the problem of disguised unemployment and state to find a problem in finding ways to necessary to work without the encouragement of foreign investment. He stressed visual statement on the necessity of activating the investment in Iraq, to overcome obstacles to economic growth and pointed out that the Iraqi economy suffers problems, particularly low capital accumulation as a result of the low income level in the country and the high proportion of low-income workers, increasing the rate of consumption, making it difficult for renewal of production capacities and improving or transfer of technology and the entry of economic markets and foreign investment could contribute to the openness to technological progress and labor training various levels. In a sign of weakening exports, Basri said that the Iraqi economy has become excessively dependent on oil exports fluctuating, while the industries and sectors of construction disappears as a result of previous policies, and for reasons related to poor production efficiency and remnants of war and Iraq is unable to obtain the necessary foreign exchange to finance domestic investment, and often lead to the development of foreign investment recipient country's exports to world markets. The visual that Iraq is suffering problems related to production, perhaps the most pressing twice the power and caused problems of productivity and humane society and called for giving this sector a priority again after the oil as you need important facilities such as ports, railways, roads, bridges, water projects, massive investments in Time is of foreign investments, which are made by multinational corporations, a key factor for the transfer of technology across States and Iraq would get a new technology, work effectively on the local market by increasing production and improving efficiency. He drew the optical to the burden of external debt estimated at 125 billion dollars, and a financial burden on the economy and a negative factor on the climate Alasttmarmchira that despite efforts to remove parts of these debts, is still to Iraq a long way to address it, search for rapid sources of extra cash for the Iraqi economy. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ar&tl=en&u=http://www.nakhelnews.com/pages/news.php%3Fnid%3D1928&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com
  5. Chief V ... I always wondered what the watermelon meant...now I know...with pics to prove it No way whatsoever was I trying to do that...it's just an article that someone asked for about UN stepping in.
  6. As U.S. forces move into the final phase of the withdrawal from Iraq, Baghdad is seeking to buy U.S. weapons worth up to $13 billion. These include F-16 fighter jets and M1A1 main battle tanks, the same systems the Americans used to crush Saddam Hussein in 2003. That's a bonanza for U.S. defense contractors, who increasingly rely on exports to keep production lines running for U.S. forces, and should keep Iraq, Iran's western neighbor, in the U.S. military orbit for the next couple of decades. U.S. officials say about half the contracts involved have been finalized, with the others still under negotiation. Russia, Britain, China, France and others have been seeking to get pieces of the multibillion-dollar Iraqi arms deals. In May, Baghdad was reported to be negotiating with Britain's BAE Systems for 24 Hawk jet trainers in a deal worth up to $1.6 billion, but nothing seems to have come of that yet. Moscow, Saddam's main arms supplier in the 1980s, delivered 26 Mi-17 medium transport and multirole helicopters for two squadrons in 2007. These can be fitted with rockets. But the Americans are expected to secure bigger helicopter deals -- 24 Boeing AH-6 Apache gunships and 24 Bell 407s, a contract worth up to $2.4 billion. Virginia-based General Dynamics has already won a U.S. Army contract valued at $198 million to produce 140 of the Abrams tanks for Iraq under the Foreign Military Sales program. The tanks will be built in Lima, Ohio; Scranton, Pa; Anniston, Ala.; and Tallahassee, Fla. The Iraqi army, restructured and trained by the Americans, now has 14 divisions and is primarily equipped for counterinsurgency operations. Eventually the focus will switch to countering external foes, although with insurgents led by al-Qaida continuing attacks as the Americans draw down their forces, that might be some time in coming. U.S. commanders question the Iraqis' ability to overwhelm the insurgents and sectarian militias, and there is a possibility that Baghdad may request a U.S. military presence past the scheduled completion of the withdrawal in late 2011. But in the meantime, the immediate plan for the Iraqi ground forces appears to be fielding two tank battalions with Abrams and 10 artillery batteries with 120mm light guns over the next year. The fledgling post-Saddam Iraqi air force is scheduled to be equipped with 18 Lockheed Martin F-16 multirole Falcon fighters, enough to equip one squadron. It's a modest beginning, but these would be the air force's first combat aircraft, acquired as part of a $3 billion program that will also encompass training and maintenance. "Iraq's a sovereign country but let's be frank," said Lt. Gen. Anwar Hamad Ahmed, the air force commander. "We don't have the combat or jet fighters or interceptor planes or air-defense systems. "We're still far from an air force's full potential. We'll need the U.S. long after 2011." The F-16 sale is awaiting the congressional green light, and the first jets could be delivered in early 2013. The Iraqis have requested 96 F-16s through 2020, enough for five squadrons. U.S. Army Gen. Ray Odierno, the U.S. commander in Iraq until Sept. 1, said deliveries would likely be completed by the time the U.S. withdrawal is scheduled to end in late 2011. But the Americans appear wary of giving the Iraqis high-profile offensive capabilities. Iraq's neighbors retain harsh memories of Saddam's catastrophic military adventures. The first was the September 1980 invasion eastward into Iran's Khuzestan oil region. That led to an eight-year war in the Gulf that caused an estimated 1 million casualties. Two years after that conflict ended in a stalemate, Saddam invaded Kuwait to the south in August 1990 to seize its oil fields. The Iraqis were driven out in February 1991 by a U.S.-led coalition. But Iraq's defense chiefs argue that, despite U.S. misgivings, the country needs to be able to deter an attack from outside. Even though Saddam has gone, Iraq's neighbors, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey, remain suspicious of the political and sectarian turmoil that persists in Iraq. The new air force currently has some 76 non-combat aircraft and this is scheduled to be increased to around 130, including U.S.-supplied C-130 Hercules turboprop transports built by Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin. At least six C-130J Hercules are slotted to go to Iraq, with associated services and training in a package that could total $1.5 billion. http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Iraq_seeks_US_arms_worth_113_billion_999.html
  7. ((Voice of Iraq) - 9/11/2010 Voice of Iraq) - PNA-signed member of the Iraqi List, "The beauty of melon that" the United Nations to intervene in the event did not reach a solution to the political blocs on forming a government. The melon in a press statement on Saturday that if the political blocs to reach a solution to form a government would intervene the United Nations because Iraq is still under Chapter VII and the responsibility of the United Nations to intervene to resolve this crisis. He added that the Iraqi List, watermelon is the first winner in the elections in all countries is the first winner of a government, but politicians crowded on the articles of the Constitution in a way that the largest bloc is the formation of the government. He explained that the Constitution join the process of forming the government, if they gave the right of the existing Iraqi government is formed for a month and if it fails to block the second, which would cost the state of law, but the political parties of deliberately violating the constitution and laws. He said that the watermelon is currently parked all negotiations among all political blocs, alluding to the possibility that take the form a government five months. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&tl=en&u=http://www.sotaliraq.com/iraq-news.php%3Fid%3D6895&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhgD5xvvGOZ1djVdBBPQZgRemA18sQ

  11. [scooter] Good Evening everyone, [scooter] I hope everyone is well!!!! [scooter] I apologize for being late but had some technical difficulty today so please forgive me. [scooter] So ---- I’m sure there’s been a lot in the news but I want to continue down the path of what is instead of what could be --- Facts will always hold true over supposition in my book! [scooter] Tonight – I will providing a lot of links to locations --- again, because of the volume of information, I will be providing the information and less analysis will be done. [scooter] Now there are two topics I will be covering tonight: [scooter] 1. 2010 – 2011 Budget – Tables 3 and Table 4 [scooter] 2. The Actual Law that was passed last year and being deployed now. [scooter] Now for some of the Links that we’ll be using: [scooter] Ministry of Finance [scooter] 1. Ministry of Finance ---- Spreadsheet #2 -- Federal Budget for Iraq 2010-2011 [scooter] 1. Ministry of Finance ---- Spreadsheet #2 -- Federal Budget for Iraq 2010-2011 -- http://www.mof.gov.iq/th2010/moazna2010/2.xls [scooter] Secondly, Please take note of these links --- these are brand new numbers for you to ponder. Remember --- Iraq MUST, and I mean MUST become completely transparent in order to be accepted by international community. [scooter] Now to the good stuff: There seems to be some supplementary $$$$ be provided from 2008 Investments for the Ministry of Finance Budget department for the Ministry of Health, Municipalities, and Electricity --- Very Large numbers!!! [scooter] Here’s how recent they are --- analysis will be done later but I wanted to provide the information: [scooter] 7-22-2010 – Ministry of Health -- In the framework of transparency that work by the Ministry of Finance / Budget Department in the dissemination of accurate information about the ministries we offer a table allocations, "the amounts allocated to the Ministry of Health for the years 2006 - 2010, as in below: [scooter] Link: http://www.mof.gov.iq/ar/index.php?n...rticle&sid=909 [scooter] 7-25-2010 – Ministry of Minicipalities -- In the framework of transparency, which operates the Ministry of Finance in the dissemination of accurate information about the ministries we offer a table assignments, "the amounts allocated to the Ministry of Municipalities for the years 2006 -- 2010 as in below: [scooter] Link: http://www.mof.gov.iq/ar/index.php?n...rticle&sid=907 [scooter] 7-22-2010 – Ministry of Electricity [scooter] In the framework of transparency that work by the Ministry of Finance in the dissemination of accurate information about the ministries we offer customizations table 'amounts allocated to the Ministry of Electricity for the years 2006 - 2010, as in below: Link: http://www.mof.gov.iq/ar/index.php?n...rticle&sid=907 [scooter] Now [scooter] Billions of Dinars are being allocated and redistributed --- and in the name of “transparency” -- they are being allocated now!!!

[scooter] Back to the 2010 – 2011 Budget [scooter] I just posted a comparison between Table 3 and Table 4 of the budget – Here’s the some comparisons for you to look at: [scooter] Before starting however, please remember these numbers are just ratios, but more importantly, they have raises, and other variables associated with them. [scooter] The point I wish to make is that you won’t get an even ratio to tell you the rate --- just a range – the best method to find the closest rate is to judge the capitol expenditures – mostly because they have to purchase these tangible product from out of country – thus the exchange rate will get tested at it’s best. Don’t look at salaries as strong – look for the tangible items when comparing [scooter] Besides --- trust me [scooter] They are all gettting major major raises [scooter] With that said let’s start with the least important and goto the most import [scooter] Table 3 Staff Compensation --- (in Millions of Dinars) $190,028 [scooter] Table 4 Staff Compensation --- (in Millions of Dinars) $219,335 [scooter] Ratio: $1.15 [scooter] Does anybody remember the 1.13 number from the ministry of Planning [scooter] hmmmmmm [scooter] Table 3 --- Social Benefits – (in Millions of Dinars) $3,500 [scooter] Table 4 --- Social Benefits – (in Millions of Dinars) $7,000 [scooter] Ratio: $2.00 [scooter] Table 3 --- Assets – (in Millions of Dinars) $16,500 [scooter] Table 4 --- Assets – (in Millions of Dinars) $46,926 [scooter] Ratio: $2.84 [scooter] sorry [scooter] Table 3 --- Projects and Re-Construction – (in Millions of Dinars) $6,500 [scooter] Table 4 --- Projects and Re-Construction – (in Millions of Dinars) $20,400 [scooter] Ratio: $3.14 [scooter] Here's a big one to gauge [scooter] Table 3 --- Total Expenditure (in Millions of Dinars) $513,436 [scooter] Table 4 --- Total Expenditure – (in Millions of Dinars) $ 1,557,253 [scooter] Ratio: $3.03 [scooter] Here’s the dont promote other sites post -- http://www.dont promote other sites.net/forum/show...-3-and-Table-4 [scooter] Please make your own assumptions but it’s somewhat interesting when you dig into the numbers. [scooter] Now to the law [scooter] Remember this was passed in 2009 [scooter] it was supplied with both years budgets to the IMF and world Banke [scooter] Bank [scooter] some of you may have seen this [scooter] but it's good to show again [scooter] Here’s the link: http://www.mop-iraq.org/mopdc/resour...e_low_2010.pdf [scooter] Here’s how it translates --- again -- I’ll let you decide how to interpret!

  13. [scooter] Good Evening Folks, [scooter] I hope all had a wonderful and safe July 4th! [scooter] There’s a couple of announcements I would like to make before beginning tonights dialog [scooter] One, I wish to congratulate DBCooper, VoodooWar, and Tenmillion on the acquisition of the site!! They are tremendous people and I’m honored to call them friends!!! I suspect we’ll see great things from the site moving forward! Congrats again!! [scooter] Two – I am undergoing an acquisition of my own this week so I will be in the midst of that transition . As a result, I won’t be here too much this next week but will resume full throttle the following week. I’ll be in the room, but they’ll be Drive-By’s and very short [scooter] Now, to the topics for tonight – “What Exactly Happened on June 30th, 2010? [scooter] 1. World Bank Activities [scooter] 2. IMF Activities [scooter] 3. Minister of Finance Activities [scooter] 4. US Treasury Activities [scooter] Here we go -- [scooter] World Bank DPL --- Page 111 [scooter] http://www-wds.worldbank.org/externa ... 0Use0Only1.pdf [scooter] Iii. Financing and accounting [scooter] A. Restructuring the balance sheets (including inherited debts and losses) On-going process [scooter] Note the words On-going process [scooter] Remember this plan has been [scooter] evolving for close to 7 years [scooter] evolving for close to 7 years [scooter] The latest DPL was released [scooter] in March [scooter] with the following dates [scooter] That's why you'll see the On-Going Process statements [scooter] Nevertheless -- to the good stuff [scooter] here's what they did [scooter]  Define foreign debts of banks in accordance with the aim of reflecting the foreign debt settled in the banks’ financial statements [scooter]  Transfer to the Ministry of Finance or establish contra-accounts [scooter]  Ministry of Finance would take responsibility of part of the external debt [scooter]  Ministry of Finance will negotiate for the remaining portion of the external debt with relevant parties [scooter]  Define other debt and losses for making related decisions by authorized parties [scooter]  Identify and agree on discrepancies and ways to eliminate undercapitalization of banks [scooter]  Monitoring of banks’ foreign assets in foreign banks and foreign correspondents [scooter] That's a whole lot of bullets huh? [scooter] But they were absolutely necessary considering the massive disarray [scooter] they were in [scooter] In fact -- The regional [scooter] reports give Iraq a D [scooter] for their reporting --- That one [scooter] needs to be improved [scooter] and quickly [scooter] here's some others related to capitol [scooter] B. Capital Adequacy On-going process [scooter] 1. Classification of assets and provision policy [scooter]  Increase the amount of provisions in the profit and loss (P&L) in compliance with the audit results [scooter]  Provide additional resources by the Ministry of Finance to the banks to be used for provisioning for NPLs [scooter]  Account for NPLs that are not recognized in the current accounts [scooter] This is the one I like the most however [scooter] 2. Capital base On-going process [scooter] Look at the word [scooter] carefully [scooter]  Reevaluation of the banks’ assets and take decision regarding non-strategic investments, rationalizing real estate properties of the bank in order to reduce the risk-weighted assets base [scooter] See -- The IMF or World Banks [scooter] Don't use that word EVER!!!! [scooter] The speculators would kill the currency before it ever [scooter] got started [scooter] Another note from page 99 of this document that I wanted to share [scooter] H. Credit Analysis and Portfolio Management [scooter] The Ernst & Young asset quality reports show that loan loss reserves are largely underestimated (239 billion IQD for Rafidain Bank and 138 billion IQD for Rasheed Bank).57 In terms of capital adequacy, regulatory capital shortfalls –based on Basel II requirements and worldwide practices in terms of classification and provisioning of bad assets- may vary between 359 billion IQD for Rasheed Bank and 15.3 trillion IQD for Rafidain Bank). 58 [scooter] Now -- This looks like a bunch non related nonsense [scooter] but look at the following footnotes [scooter] 57 Amounting to US$ 204 million and US$ 117 million (IQD 1,000 = US$ 0.8521) [scooter] Now please realize two things when you view this : One [scooter] That’s the existing rate that we have now but it’s the first time they are showing it in this regard. [scooter] And two [scooter] This is a basis number: In English, it’s missing the major variables to calculate the REAL rate. For example the fundamentals and Geopolitical variables are huge!!! [scooter] The IMF and CBI have chosen the 1993 SNA tools to determine the REAL rate for Iraq [scooter] This is similar to what the MofP [scooter] is using on their website [scooter] at 1.13 [scooter] So don’t get yourself stressed out over that --- just noteworthy that’s all. [scooter] Next [scooter] 58 Amounting to IQD 306 million and US$ 13.1 billion (18.4 % of GDP—the 2008 GDP would reach IQD 83.6 trillions, ie. US$ 71.2 billion). The capital shortfall of US$ 13.1 billion (Rafidain Bank) is based on a number of adjustments which are likely to be required. Chief among these [scooter] Here's another noteworthy item [scooter] Chief among these is difference arising from the reevaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. [scooter] Again, [scooter] That’s a very rare statement for any this institution --- The use of “Reevaluation” in any document is against major rules of engagement! Just noteworthy… [scooter] Next, The IMF and their CR10/72 Document [scooter] B. Monetary and Exchange Rate Policies and Financial Sector Reform [scooter] Page 46 [scooter] This one is critical to understand: remember CPI – Consumer Price Index [scooter] 21. The CBI will continue to be independent in the pursuit of its policy objectives. The CBI’s monetary and exchange rate policies will continue to be aimed at keeping inflation under control and safeguarding international reserves. The subdued inflationary pressures thus far in 2009 have helped to maintain the nominal exchange rate stable since the beginning of the year and to reduce the policy interest rate to 7 percent. The policy interest rate will be kept positive in real terms (measured against core inflation) to signal the CBI’s firm commitment to maintain a low rate of inflation. We are accelerating plans to roll out a new CPI based on more recent household expenditure data, which will help us better monitor underlying inflationary dynamics. [scooter] Why is that important --- A new Consumer Price Basis is a HUGE component that will determine the rate --- It’s the variable that will help the IMF and World Bank solve Iraq’s poverty problem. [scooter] Which is one of the five major Pillars of the DPL [scooter] Now we’ve seen this before but needs to be shown again from the IMF’s stand point. [scooter] The first important step will be to finalize the restructuring of Rafidain and Rasheed banks, based on their completed financial and operational audits. In this regard, the foreign liabilities incurred by Rafidain and Rasheed on behalf of the previous regime and the large suspense accounts will need be removed from these banks’ balance sheets. We aim to complete the restructuring of the balance sheets of Rafidain and Rasheed by June 30, 2010. Once their balance sheets are cleaned up and restructured, based on the decision already made by the Economic Committee, the capital of Rafidain and Rasheed will be raised to ID500 billion and ID400 billion, respectively [scooter] First [scooter] We aim to complete the restructuring of the balance sheets of Rafidain and Rasheed by June 30, 2010. [scooter] That was the other day. [scooter] Second and unknown just yet is this [scooter] Once their balance sheets are cleaned up and restructured, based on the decision already made by the Economic Committee, the capital of Rafidain and Rasheed will be raised to ID500 billion and ID400 billion, respectively [scooter] What rate is that 500 ID and 400 ID be at ? The new or old – We’ll find out. [scooter] Here’s some other notes from Page 21 “Financial Sector Reform” [scooter] The banking system is dominated by two state-owned banks, Rafidain and Rasheed, which account for 90 percent of total assets. Besides four other small state-owned banks, there are 23 small private banks that service only a small number of trusted clients. Capital markets, besides government securities, are almost nonexistent. [scooter] Why is this important? [scooter] Because 90% of Iraq’s banking system is being “ReFormatted” to meet International standards -- once they meet the standards --- then they can move forward with RV. [scooter] Here’s another one [scooter] The financial restructuring will first involve cleaning up the banks’ balance sheets and removing the legacy of bad debts and suspense accounts and working out the fiscal implications. During a second phase, the banks’ capital will be brought up to the required levels. [scooter] I brought this up because I don’t want any confusion between the IMF phases and the World Bank Phases. We are now entering into the second phase for the IMF. Remember --- Currency gets recognized and sized up (RV) first then the stocks, bonds, equities at the ISX. [scooter] Now to the Ministry of Finance and his comments in the news. [scooter] Friday, July 2, 2010 [scooter] Iraq Baqir al-Zubaidi: economic successes in Iraq, the economic successes achieved ~ the Ministry of Finance ... [scooter] Baqir al-Zubaidi: economic successes in Iraq, the fruit of the efforts of the Ministry of Finance [scooter] Here's some noteworthy points in the article [scooter] Al-Zubaidi and reviewed during Astkabbah to the American delegation led by Assistant U.S. Treasury Secretary Charles Colin economic relations between Iraq and the United States of America. [scooter] You have to remember [scooter] The US Treasury [scooter] is the Government Organization [scooter] that's been holding all those assets [scooter] that are now being returned [scooter] if all goes well [scooter] On top of that [scooter] Iraq wants a 400 million loan to help offset the crisis from 2009 budget [scooter] here's another [scooter] He referred to the cooperation with the World Bank through a program of economic reforms the Iraqi who arranged the standards related to the first review of the arrangements for retaining the International Monetary Fund, which will help pave the way for a study loan, the second development policy amount (250) million dollars of the amount of up to (500) million be submitted by the World Bank for Iraq. [scooter] They also discussed support for the private banking sector to grow to ensure equal access to all the work and letters of credit with the government as the Ministry of Finance has achieved a growth in support of the private banking sector, where many credit the one that opens in private banks to four million dollars, that's a great achievement in support of private banks. [scooter] First [scooter] That 250 million [scooter] is the first phase of the World Bank Tranche [scooter] Second [scooter] Their talking about the DPL and Private Sector Reform ----- Capitol and credit [scooter] Here's another [scooter] Also discussed the issue of advancement of the State banks by re-structuring and the introduction of mechanization in the modern work, especially the banking system overall to reach the ranks of international banks. [scooter] We just talked about that [scooter] Now were triangulating the information [scooter] Here's the statement for the Strategic Five Year Plan [scooter] Reviewed Zubaidi strategy budget for the year (2011 / 2012 / 2013), which demarcates the first time in Iraq to develop strategy and clear for the phased reduction of the deficit in the budget of Iraq Federal these years and limiting the benefits of highest production of oil to keep the security gains and economic gains made in Iraq. [scooter] Last one [scooter] He called for the importance of opening a branch of the World Bank in Iraq in order to promote confidence and the relationship between the World Bank, Iraq and create a predictable environment to support investment and entry of firms into Iraq. [scooter] The Technical assistance to help follow through during the RV [scooter] If they have received a D Grade [scooter] compared to the region [scooter] It won't be a request [scooter] but mandated!!! [scooter] Just imagine [scooter] if you set a budget up [scooter] and you were only 37% accurate in that budget [scooter] You would be hung and fired instantly [scooter] With that said --- I'm done for the evening

  18. Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki By NICK CAREY & WALEED IBRAHIM | REUTERS Published: Apr 12, 2010 18:38 Updated: Apr 12, 2010 18:46 BAGHDAD: Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki's chances of being reappointed appear to be fading as potential coalition partners turn against him a month after a general election that produced no clear winner. Maliki, a Shiite leader, claims credit for stamping out widespread violence between once dominant Sunnis and majority Shiites, but is viewed as a divisive strongman by his foes. His coalition finished a close second in the March 7 vote. "Maliki did well in the election, but not well enough," said Toby Dodge, a reader in international politics at the University of London. "He thought he would be in a position of strength, but instead he faces a whole series of problems." More than a month after the election, Iraq is still waiting for formal, final results. Lengthy government-forming talks loom, overshadowed by the threat of attacks from a stubborn Sunni Islamist insurgency that continues to kill dozens each month in suicide bombings and shootings. A sharp rise in violence could threaten US plans to end combat operations in August ahead of a full pullout by end-2011. Analysts say Maliki has displayed a talent for alienating potential allies both at home and abroad, and stoked concerns that he could have authoritarian leanings. Those qualities are starting to haunt him as coalition talks unfold. "Many people have feared that Maliki wanted to be a strongman," said Anthony Cordesman of the Washington-based Center for Strategic & International Studies. Those suspicions have watered down support among minority Kurds, who have enjoyed virtual autonomy in Iraq's north for almost two decades, and among other Shiite factions which fear he could rein in their freedom of movement, or their militias. Whether or not Maliki stays on as prime minister, analysts say oil deals crucial to Iraq's reconstruction will survive. http://arabnews.com/middleeast/article42319.ece

  22. I agree that it's a good post if the "action plan" is the RV. But I also received it from a friend by email about him leaving it in the hands of Our Almighty Maker and definitely agree with that. Would definitely like Adam to give us his take on it.
  23. I agree with puffsplus! Keep up the good work Adam.
  24. Luckylucy you are right...WOW...hope I didn't step on anyones toes or...just posting what I thought was from the signer...was meant to be informational...won't do that again ...
