Biography - Ali Abdul Amir Allawi
Ali Abdul Amir Allawi
Mr Allawi has spent most of his life outside Iraq
Ali Abdul-Amir Allawi spent almost three years at the centre of power in Iraq. 

He was Minister of Trade and Minister of Defence in the Interim Iraq Governing Council from September 2003 to 2004. 

He was also Minister of Finance in the Iraqi Transitional Government from 2005 to 2006. He survived two attempts on his life. 

In the end he became disillusioned with politics in Iraq and left government. He decided to write a book to try to understand why Iraq has ended up in its current condition. 

"The Occupation of Iraq - Winning the War: Losing the Peace" was published earlier this year. 

In it he says, "The situation in Iraq is complex, dangerous and fraught with poor alternatives. But it is not hopeless."

Mr Allawi is Shia and was born in Baghdad in 1947 but has spent most of his life in exile. 

He first left Iraq in 1958. His family had been deeply involved in the politics of the kingdom but found themselves on the wrong side of the 14th of July revolution. 

After the Ba'ath Party came to power in 1968 he knew a return to Iraq would be impossible. He opposed Saddam Hussein's rule from afar. 

He went to school in the UK and graduated from MIT in the United States with a BSc in Civil Engineering. 

After completing an MBA from Harvard University he worked in international development for the World Bank. He co-founded the Arab International Finance merchant bank in 1978. 

In 1992 he founded the Fisa Group which manages hedge funds. Between 1999 and 2002 he was a Senior Associate at St Antony's College, Oxford. 

A few hours after the attacks of 11 September, 2001, Mr Allawi predicted that the Americans would overthrow the Taliban; begin a 'war' on radical Islam and get rid of Saddam Hussein. 

After his predictions came true, his hopes for a democratic, stable Iraq were dashed. He blames the "incoherence of the American 'project' and the incompetence of the new Iraqi political order." 

In his book Mr Allawi offers some solutions. 

He recommends some devolution of power to the regions in Iraq. 

He also says some sort of economic and political integration is necessary in the region as a whole. 

And he says independent authorities need to be set up to take charge of the reconstruction projects and security.

Can’t help but wonder how long it’s gonna take to complete this position... AND will we see a “ delay “ because this New CBI Gov. will have to be “ brought up to speed “ before any thoughts of the RI/RV WOULD be entertained.

Then again, maybe the plan all along was 2020, anyway.

10 that's what I've been thinking since the end of last year. I actually told a buddy of mine who is also invested last December that 2020 was going to end the year. From everything that I had been reading and the language that they were using, 2019 wasn't part of the conversation. 

I can wait. Just took a position with a new company And I'm digging the new gig. I'm hoping it's the best job I ever had to quit, lol.

that said, it wouldn't break my heart if it happened tomorrow.

Yeah that's the disinformation that we were given a couple of days ago. But they're still obviously working. I think we'll see some more surprises, they are keeping a lot close to the vest they don't want the public to know yet.

Dang ! just catching up here Mr. U - Reckon i share your sentiments for a 2020. Appears to be the case; and January 2020 would be great, so long as there's no more sandbagging. if so - then it's gloves off, a declaration of war and I invade. Chuck Norris and the whole Expendables Bunch have agreed if push comes to shove - We're Shoving.

 

Good to hear about your new position . . .don't get too comfy. We sure don't wanna here you saying stuff like those folks that win millions on the Lottery - " Oh I love it here, we're family - I think i'll stay on the job " :facepalm::lol: 

 

Have great weekend Mr. U :tiphat:

Much deserved break, of course. But when they 'extended' for another month (to tackle all those IMPORTANT laws) they stated the session would end August 3rd and resume September 3rd. (too hot in the cafeteria for food fights, apparently)
