Don't tell me these cats are still at loggerheads over this CHVII thing because of some

fisherman's lack of directional skills....?! WTF

They're back to '***-fer'tattin' over who's more beholden to whom and it's a NO-WIN GAME!

C'mon you jerks! Git over yerselves - man up - let it go and DO IT ALREADY!

Who's gonna look like the bigger jerk at the Arab Bro Party over this quibbling....?

[Biker]

Like two kids trying to devide up a jar full of candy, one allways wants more. The other say you allready got more. WTF

I know its not popular to hear, but I still am under the assumption that Ch. 7e will not be considered for lifting until the next big UN reviw of it in June, where the full UN can have an official vote on it. I think the UN representaqtion at the Summit will praise Iraq for their continued efforts but I just think there are too many things that wil not be done by the end of March for the UN to lift a 20+ year old sanction. Its just my opinion of course but I am a realist that uses both the news and my own sources in country and politics to base my opinion. I dont think we possibly can image the extent of the things that need done to remove Ch 7, but we do kjnow that Iraq is working at it (at their own pace of course) and this, I feel, is what will be acknowledged at the Summit.

jas428, I agree with you totally because what you're saying makes alot of sense, but for the sake of the country i pray they lift the sanctions off of Iraq.

This may be recycled news from 2011. Is it the same boat carrying the same 11 sailers from 2011 that were seized? I thought that Kuwait was only owed about 18 Billion. I have read many recent articles stating this 18 Billion figure and not the 24 billion figure. Can anybody back me on these assumptions?

[Butifldrm]

Ok, does Iraq owe a total of 25B and of that 25B, 24B is owed to Kuwait? This article translation is a little confusing.

Unless they are talking about something else, that number should be a little lower... According to the United Nations Compensation Commission there is only about $17 billion USD left to be paid - LINK

There is also an article from late January that states the amount to be about $17 billion as well - LINK

Weeks? I was planning on being in Paris in a few weeks.

Probably September just as stated by CBI.

I am worried about this. Kuwait just had their elections and the majority is not Iraq friendly. Hopefully the Iraq delegation will soften Malikis visit. Maybe I am over reacting.

Yeah Ban Ki Moon will be at the summit. The did mention it would be part of one of the agendas. So they could possibly get out of chap 7 if they make good kuwait and kuwait is satisfied. They need to give Iraq a break. Some things they have worked diligently on this. But Maliki was chastised by the UN french delegate that they have not put forth an honest effort. But now there is pressure from the parliament and Maliki is actually ready to be a total sovereign country. Not that I like the idea of him being the PM, but it is what it is.

Wouldn't worry much about that, considering the government that Kuwait has revolves around their Emir. If he is happy with Iraq, then the politicians would be wise to be happy as well. The Emir can disband their government at any time that he chooses, it is still a monarchy after all.

Wouldn't be worried too much about Kuwait's stance on things... They are still a monarchy, so as long as the Emir is happy the rest of the government would be smart to be 'happy' as well...

Unfortunately for Iraq, Kuwait's position on everything may or may not have much of an influence on the UNSC. Since Kuwait doesn't actually have a vote in the say of what the UNSC does, they may be able to say 'we are satisfied', but it still would come down to the 5 big boys and 4 of the others of the UNSC being satisfied enough to get Iraq out of Ch7.
