What a bunch of retards!

[captl1]

Sounds like someone didn't get their piece of the pie!

[eburt]

I so sick of this crap. This whole thing is a joke. I beginning to think we will not see any thing regarding RV

[dontlop]

As long as the Kurds keep trying to intercept the oil ministry's money this will never end

They got to freeze the assets put out law suits now

And perhaps toss a few of the Kurdish polititions in prison

Wars are definatly fought over oil disputes

The oil does not belong to the Kurds

It belongs to the sons of Iraq

Which means everyone even the Sunnis in anbar province

Washinton has made it clear on several occasions

They stand with Baghdad

The Kurds are gonna get their asssses kicked and assets frozen and tossed in prison for theft

[TLHUBER]

I say this is all Hog Wash.

[MyLadiesDaddy]

IF this is true, then the Kurdish parliament needs to simply declare there independence

from the childish government of Iraq and and declare there autonomy. Put there troops

on the Kurdish/Iraqi border and tell American to suck it. The biggest problem Kurdistan

had with leaving Iraq was that there a land locked country with no allies. Well now that

Turkey is on board they could do it. You want America to get rid of the terrorists/dictator

Maliki and his Iranian thugs in parliament? Let the scenario I just put forth and watch

how fast we do.

[yota691]

Thought the $$$$ went straight into a bank account..untouched..under the supervision of different agency...unless it black market...but what flowing threw that tubes is metered...I would assume...

Edited January 10, 2014 by yota691

[dontlop]

That would work out great

Then the southern Iraqis claim their oil

The Sunnis just keep suicide bombing

The central bank just dissolve

The dinars flushed all because the Kurds think they are running Iraq

Nah

The Kurds wiill be slaughtered if they tried

The oil will go thru the oil ministry in Baghdad

It's starting to look like the only way these people are going to get it is to put a dictator in there and squash some heads like saddam did

Thought the $$$$ went straight into a bank account..untouched..under the supervision of different agency...unless it black market...but what flowing threw that tubes is metered...I would assume...

Ya yota

If oil is leaving Iraq in a pipeline and Baghdad is not running the show

There is going to be some heads rolling soon

It's looking like the Kurds don't understand talk

I've seen this over and over that Washington stands with Baghdad on this issue

The state dept and John Kerry made this very clear

[dontlop]

There is nothing good about the Kurds taking control of the oil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq

Nothing

It would cripple the country

It could end up breaking the country up in 3 country's

This is what joe Biden has been pushing for for the last decade

He think a three little country's would be easier for us to defeat

But the only problem is the anbar province

They don't have oil

That's where the Sunnis live

So the kurds gets the oil in the north

The shittes get the oil in central and southern Iraq

And the Sunnis get the western desert with nothing

Good luck with that

Iran would just merge with the south and control more of the coast line

The Kurds would try to expand their territory and turkey would pound their lights out

Your looking at another 100 years of war if this thing doesn't go as planned

They will make it happen

If it takes a few heads to roll in the north

They are going to roll

I went back and the oil ministry, said on Friday, the decision of the Kurdistan region to export oil to Turkey later this month "unacceptable violation" of the agreements, and threatened to prosecute the perpetrators prosecuted, the fact that shipments are considered "contraband", while expressed its strong protest to the Turkish government to use system pipes Iraqi line - Turkish,

The oil in a statement received (range Press), a copy of the "Declaration of the Ministry of Water Resources in the Kurdistan region, their willingness to sell a shipment of crude oil, the amount of two million barrels at the end of January 2014, to increase thereafter to reach up to 10 to 12 a barrel during the month December 2014, using the Iraqi-Turkish-line system without the approval of the federal government, is a clear violation and unacceptable. "

 The statement added that "the agreement, which happened in 25 of January 2013, between the Federal Government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government, which was based on the meetings of the technical committee, which included specialists from the two sides and that it was hoped her to develop mechanisms export of amounts allocated from the oils produced in the region mixed with the oil of Kirkuk crude from the Turkish port of Ceyhan and through standard contracts for Oil Marketing Company (SOMO), exclusively, "and stressed that" the ministry rejects strongly the export declared and included the role of the Oil Marketing Company (SOMO), is an observation only. "

The statement, "the companies and entities and persons involved in participating conclusion of contracts or agreements for the sale and purchase of crude oil or gas produced from fields in the Kurdistan region or from oil and gas fields other in Iraq with views is Oil Marketing Company (SOMO) all legal consequences and criminal implications of this," and threatened b "prosecuted on the grounds that those shipments had been sold smuggled Unlike the laws in force."

The statement expressed "protest ministry intense about grace and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Turkish company Botas using the system pipe-line Iraqi - Turkish pumping and storage of large quantities of crude oil produced in the Kurdistan region without getting the approval of the Federal Government of Iraq in violation of the tripartite agreement reached between the Turkish side and the side Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government, which has pledged to which the Turkish government not to allow the export of crude oil produced in the Kurdistan region through the pipe system only after obtaining the approval of the federal government of Iraq. "

The statement stressed that "the violation of the Turkish side extends to overturn the terms of the Joint Declaration signed between the two governments in Baghdad on 19 September 2010, which stated that the sovereignty and authorization in the export of hydrocarbon resources of the Iraqi Ikunan exclusively to the Ministry of the Federal Oil and Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO), as well as aside from the text of the article (2.4) of the Amendment to the Convention crude oil pipeline agreement signed between the two governments on the same date above, which confirms the content of the joint declaration said. "

The federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government, confirmed in (25 December 2013), the need to strengthen security coordination between the two sides because of the nature of "terrorist threats" against both Baghdad and Erbil, while the parties announced an agreement that meets the technical committees and experts to look at ways to address the issues contentious before approving the state budget.

Declared the presidency of Kurdistan Regional Government, earlier in the day, with the direction of the Prime Minister Barzani to Baghdad at the head of a delegation from the region, to discuss the differences with the federal government on the file of oil and the budget, indicating that the delegation includes both the Vice President of the Kurdistan government, Imad Ahmad, and a number of ministers, advisers and specialists, and among other things discussed by the pipeline between the KRG and Turkey.

The file is one of the oil threads "sticking" in the relationship with Baghdad, Ankara, against the backdrop of the recent relationship Arbil and facilitate the export of the region's oil through its territory, which opposes Baghdad along the line.

Lol...

[dontlop]

.

The laws are done its called nationalized oil and proceeds are distributed thru the annual budget

They do need to keep the distribution equally distributed per capita

Being that it's nationalized that means the location of the oil isn't important

The ones who love near the oil fields already benifit from employment

But I do recognize the environment suffers from all this drilling and pollution so they should be compensated accordingly to maintain clean air and land and water as well as road maintenance waste and what not

So they do have some things that need hashed out

But in the long run this all being done thru a centralized oil ministry would have its advantages for those who don't live on top of oil reserves

Ya can't let them just starve like a third world country

Those area should get heavy investment for private sector growth whether it be manufacturing or what sector

They must provide a living for them too

I so sick of this crap. This whole thing is a joke. I beginning to think we will not see any thing regarding RV

Don't know how long you've been around but I'm going into my 11 year and I've seen and heard it all. Its always the same ole dance and song.. There will be no RV, not as long as the USDollar is there, they can play this game as long as they want..

You knowwwww....I hate to say it.

I really do.

But I agree with you mrref. I have not heard a single argument on this site that convinces me that they cannot go on using the dollar.

Every time a guru says Tariffs! They gotta RV! WTO! RV! WTO doesn't require a high tradable currency - just a currency.

 

There was one argument that seemed to hold water - tariffs - if the people are paid in dinar, then have to convert to dollars, and all prices go up due to tariffs, they will lose a bit more to inflation and spreads, but not revolt, I don't think.

 

They have been getting along just fine for over ten years with the dollar. If they HAD to RV, they probably would have by now. Apparently someone is making enough money the way it is to leave it that way.

 

There has to be some big change - leadership, civil war, something to push them there...
