Stryker Blog Update

Hello Folks. Great news, Maliki has finally had to ask the United States for help and if President Obama has any real support in following through with a true partnership they have a chance.

For those that have been wondering what was talked about between Obama and Maliki our own ol lar just posted the official White House Statements & Releases on the subject:

 I hear rumors that Maliki is heading back to Iraq to pull the trigger but do yourself a favor and don't fail for it. If anything Maliki knows now that he must make sure that their Election Laws gets passed and fast or the US will not support his position any longer.

We need President Obama to act on his position and force Maliki to do his job before we comment our troops to help him combat terrorism.

Stay focused on the facts and not the rumors because there is no RV taking place right now but with any luck we could still see it happen at the beginning of 2014. It is all in the hands of the Iraqi politicians, notably Maliki....

If Barzani losses complete confidence in Maliki we are in a much longer wait, so let's hope for the best.

The White House   Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release    November 01, 2013

 Joint Statement by the United States of America and the Republic of Iraq

 In their meeting today at the White House, President Obama and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki reaffirmed the strategic partnership between the United States and the Republic of Iraq and pledged to advance common interests to support a stable, secure, and prosperous Iraq and Middle East.  They also discussed their shared commitment to enhance cooperation under the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA). 

The two leaders noted that it has been nearly two years since the final American troops departed Iraq and the United States and Iraq entered a new phase of their relationship, based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to build a strategic partnership between two sovereign nations.  

They recalled the thousands of Americans and Iraqis who have given their lives in our common fight against terrorism and extremism in Iraq.  The President and Prime Minister renewed their determination to honor the memory and sacrifice of those killed by strengthening our joint long-term strategic partnership across the fields covered by the SFA, including security, diplomacy, trade, education, energy, culture, science, and justice. 

Following the President’s meeting with the Prime Minister, Vice President Biden and Prime Minister Maliki convened the Higher Coordination Committee (HCC).  This was the fourth meeting of the HCC since it was established in 2008 under the SFA.

Regional Integration

The U.S. and Iraqi delegations discussed Iraq’s position as an emerging democracy in the region, leading energy producer, and a nation representing a diversity of social customs, religions, and ethnicities.  The Iraqi delegation described the challenges Iraq faces due to its geography and the legacy of the former regime after decades of wars and international isolation.  

In this regard, both delegations welcomed the full restoration of relations between Iraq and Kuwait, expanding energy, security, and commercial ties with Jordan, and improving relations with Turkey.  

Both delegations also welcomed ongoing exchanges of high-level visits with Turkey, as well as a strategic dialogue to be held later this month between the United States, Iraq, and other regional partners, with an emphasis on supporting moderates and isolating extremists in the region.

The Iraqi delegation noted that with seventeen Arab embassies open in Baghdad, the Government of Iraq recently renewed an invitation to other Arab countries to open an embassy as soon as possible.  

In this regard, the United States welcomed the participation of the Iraqi Security Forces in joint exercises with regional partners over the past six months, including the Eager Lion exercise in Jordan, and surface warfare and mine countermeasures exercise in Bahrain.  The United States pledged its ongoing diplomatic coordination under the SFA in these and other areas. 

Countering Al-Qaida Affiliated Groups

The two delegations shared an assessment of al Qaida affiliated groups threatening Iraq, with particular emphasis on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). 

The Iraqi delegation confirmed a comprehensive strategy to isolate ISIL and other extremist groups through coordinated security, economic, and political measures.  This strategy includes security operations coordinated with local officials, and renewed efforts to empower local security structures, such as the Sons of Iraq, to mitigate extremist infiltration.  

Both sides emphasized – on an urgent basis – the need for additional equipment for Iraqi forces to conduct ongoing operations in remote areas where terrorist camps are located.  

The Iraqi delegation stressed its desire to purchase U.S. equipment as a means of strengthening long-term institutional ties with the United States, and confirmed its commitment to ensure strict compliance with U.S. laws and regulations on the use of such equipment.

Both delegations further confirmed the need for aggressive political outreach as a means to isolate and defeat ISIL and other extremist networks.  They welcomed the national charter of social peace signed last month by political and religious leaders from across Iraq. 

 Both parties welcomed calls to reject violence and sectarian incitement, and discussed the critical role of religious leaders as a force of moderation in the region. 

Both delegations also noted the recent resolution from the Iraqi Council of Representatives stating that national elections would be held no later than April 30, 2014.  The Iraqi delegation confirmed its commitment to holding these elections on time.  

Both parties emphasized the importance of the Iraqi government’s determination to hold elections on time and its support to the High Electoral Commission to ensure that the elections are well prepared.  The United States offered its technical support in full coordination with the Government of Iraq and the United Nations.

Energy

The U.S. and Iraqi delegations reiterated the importance of Iraq’s future energy sector development and economic growth so all Iraqis can share equitably from its resources, as well as the valuable role that Iraq plays in providing a steady flow of energy resources to global markets.  

In this regard, the Iraqi side presented Iraq’s new five-year $357 billion development plan and their long-term vision for developing strategic infrastructure that provides energy system resilience and new commercial opportunities, with multiple oil export routes through the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, and Mediterranean.  

The delegations welcomed the opportunity to expand cooperation on energy, including steps to advance these projects, at the next Energy Joint Coordination Committee in early 2014.

Syria

The Iraqi delegation confirmed its support for the Geneva II process and efforts to forge a diplomatic settlement to the ongoing conflict in Syria.  The United States took note of the important role Iraq can play in helping to shape conditions conducive to a peaceful political settlement. 

 The Iraqi delegation expressed its increasing concern about weapons coming into Iraq from Syria for use against the Iraqi people, emphasizing the need to take increasing measures to police its borders and airspace against the transit of weapons or cargo proscribed by applicable U.N. Security Council Resolutions, and called on all neighboring states to cooperate fully. 

Trade

The Iraqi delegation stressed their desire to harness the U.S. private sector to advance mutual interests in Iraq and the United States.  The delegations noted the signing earlier this year of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, which will help increase American exports to Iraq and provide more economic opportunities for the Iraqi people.  

Both delegations welcomed the steady increase in U.S. companies doing business in Iraq – including major corporations such as Citibank, Ford, General Electric, and Boeing.  The Iraqi delegation expressed hope that U.S. businesses can have a prominent role in their country’s rapidly developing energy, transportation, banking, and health sectors.  

In this regard, both delegations looked forward to mutual trade events to be held over the coming months.

Education and Exchange Programs

The Iraqi delegation discussed their vision to strengthen their nation through education and exchange programs with an emerging generation.  They noted that twenty-five percent of their population – nearly 8 million Iraqis – was born after 2003, and that the Government of Iraq is determined to give this generation educational opportunities inside Iraq and abroad, including at American colleges and universities.  Both delegations agreed that the best way to honor our shared sacrifice over the past decade is to provide these young Iraqis with opportunities never enjoyed by other generations. 

The U.S. delegation noted that under the SFA and the educational programs established through bilateral Joint Coordinating Committees, the number of Iraqi students studying in the United States has grown to nearly 1,000 – and that a university fair last month in Baghdad attracted 30 U.S. universities and 2,000 Iraqi scholarship students.

Conclusion

The two delegations closed the meeting with a shared commitment to increase the numbers of Iraqis studying in the United States, in addition to strengthening other institutional ties beyond government-to-government ties, to include cultural, artistic, and scientific exchanges. 

 Both sides again reflected on the sacrifice that has made this progress possible, while recognizing the very serious challenges that must be confronted together.

The Iraq govt is in control of the dinar exchange rate not the USA

But the USA is in control over whether or not they will accept the dinar as a payment form from Iraq

If the United States accepts the dinar for purchases the rest of the world will follow knowing they can use dinar themselves to make purchases in the USA too

So they would all accept the dinar if the us did

But the dinar being backed by the dollar it's strange the us wouldn't accept it

It has to be a matter of transparency

Auditing the cbi is key to a globally accepted Dinar

India is already signaling they are willing to accept the dinar

If even that happens we should be able to exchange our dinar into Indian rupees

Then exchange the rupees into dollars

But we would have to pay the spread on both transactions

Maliki should make a large purchase in the USA conditionally

The condition being the transaction being in Iraqi dinars or no deal

Then a corporation or two could start pushing the govt to accept dinar

If dinar becomes tradable in the us we would be able to exchange them here

Then the us could just convert them

Not exchange them but convert them

Like they convert currency's into petro dollars

The other currency's are converted and then the petrodollars replace the other currency

The foriegn currency is eliminated from their money supply and new petrodollars emerge in the us money supply

If the USA had foriegn currency in its reserves they could convert them into petrodollars

I believe all currency's can be converted into petrodollars

How else could they buy oil

So if the us had dinar they could convert them into petrodollars

Then they just sell the petro dollars or spend them themselves

Petrodollar was a phrase used by Ibrahim Oweiss as a term to describe the dollars paid to a petroleum producing Country (OPEC). in exchange for oil.

 

Petrocurrency is of course the term which refers to the actual national currency of each petroleum exporting Country.

 

I may be confused in my thinking on this subject, but let me try to break it down.

 

The initial OPEC agreement on the payment for oil from any nation was to be conducted in US $,s (world reserve currency), this in itself gave America great influence upon the exchange rates of international currency obviously, as other nations had to "buy" $,s to pay the OPEC rate for oil purchases.

 

Many of the oil producing countries were entered into trade deals with these purchasing countries and paid for items purchased from them with petrocurrency, so the too,ing and froe,ing of actual money was minimised through accounting on a grand scale.

 

Now as you state no doubt about it America will at any given time hold quit a substantial ammount of foreign currency, but only a percentage of which will be actual notes, and these in turn are used to "buy" back US $,s from these foreign countries, thereby releasing each nations currency back into it's own monetary flow. 

 

A dollar is a dollar and only gets a change of name when used to buy petrolium, unlike the euro, GBP which (officially) has to be converted to dollars which then also become petrodollars if used to buy petro derivatives.

 

Electronic banking has all but killed off the many "clearing" banks that used to handle the actual currencies and has reduced the tranportation of notes to central banks but not completely oweing to the need to replace damaged or worn out notes, and of course to centralise all foreign currency.

 

Should the Dinar revalue, say at the end of the trading day on a Friday, US time, now... all us smartass dinar holders will be screaming to get our notes changed ASAP worldwide, you get my drift worldwide, banks open from Sunday in the middle-east, hours before the US banks come back on "your" Monday morning Dinar will be exchanged in these countries, and if the US is the first country to recognise the dinar (at whatever rate of exchange) should we all decide to accept our payout in dollars (exchange rate again) for our dinar, then all of these other banks will be waiting to dump billions of dinar into the lap of the US central/fed bank when it opens on Monday... chaos... a never before seen expected transfer of funds both in country and internationaly because all of you will be waiting on your banks opening ...won't you?.

 

Now we all know that our bank branches only hold minimal capital, so our accounts will be accredited with electronic money, but how far does this apply, how far up the chain before the block is placed and they call a halt to sort things out at inter governmental level, because we know  it will happen.. it is not an American exclusive deal, it is international, world banking still trying to sort itself out, blame accepted and fines paid only for another problem to rear it's head days later, thousands of bank staff laid off , CEO's walking away with multi million "golden" handshakes and millions of shares on top of their pension schemes, it's a disgrace, but worse still we will be expected to accept the so called solutions that these people, bankers and politicians will foist upon us.

 

It's not an overnight RV no matter what anyone might say, it is a worldwide structured re-distribution of wealth should it happen, and it will only happen with the agreement of the worlds major countries and financial institutions, wars have been fought for less, but maybe for similar reasons. 

 

Enough, the wife says I can cook tonight, so.. heat the beans, toast the bread, butter, (sod the expence).
