Thanks, Hitman... does anyone know what Iraq's total reserves will now be (including the 50 or so billion they currently have)?

Thanks for the article. How does these particular sanctions being still in place affect our investment?

I thought an agreement had beeen reached regarding the Kuwaiti reparations and a plan was already in place to take care of that. Does this mean that is not the case?

It seems to me I read about Iraq's purchase of multi-tons of gold earlier this year around February. Can't find the link though. Has anyone else seen that?

According to this, the answer is yes. I remember what Adam said back in December. He was VERY CLEAR that Kuwait is the final driver for the RV, and if Kuwait isn't made happy, there won't be a total lifting of Chap 7, and thus no RV. Keep that in mind.

That is what I understod to be the case. So in other words Iraq is not released from Chapter VII as was earlier stated (in rumors I think).

YEP,,, EVERYBODY GETTING ALL EXCITED OVER NOTHING, RV IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL ALL THE DUCKS ARE LINE UP AND AS OF THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT LINED UP....

I wonder why the Washington Post is the only newspaper that seems to have released an "official" statement on Chapter VII sanctions. None of the rest of the articles I read had that extra information at the bottom of the aticles about Chapter VII. They stopped at the information about Iraq gaining control of their DFI fund.

Thank you captain obvious!!

some sanctions????

[acceb75]

It only said the sanctions regarding Kuwait and the archives and reparations. I think the other ones were in fact lifted.

It doesn't say anything about Ch 7 at the bottom of the article. It merely quotes ,"The council has said that some U.N. sanctions against Iraq will remain in place until Iraq and Kuwait settle outstanding issues from that war".

Aren't those the Chapter VII sanctions they are talking about?

I agree. We are almost there.

Kuwait is getting "happier", but they aren't totally "happy" yet
