********** so we see here just how bad maliki was offended by mutlaq's statments of dictatorship, and we wait to see the final out come of this, but it is looking like IMO that theres a good chance the will vote in favor of malikis request ..unless mutlaq can formally apoligise for what he said to the world about maliki, so on that score we give it a few days for the rest to come to light as what will happen but this article says its irreversible, so we wait just to make sure..............*****.ok next item up is... we have a minister, hashemi, charged with terrorism,.............this is a huge thing as iraq works desperatly to control coruption and terrorism as troops pull out of iraq, now let me say this 1st, i knew from all the countless articles and hours that i read iraq news, there would be problems appear more than usual with the troop withdrawal, many countries does not want iraq to succeed and will do what ever they can to hinder the democracy in iraq and its success, like iran and other countries who kiss the cheek of iraq to there face while behind there back fund terrorism and assassinations and do things to halt the economic rebuilding of iraq while all the while professing we are here for u and any thing u need us to help u with, all lies, countries like iran doesnt want iraq to succeed if they do suceed it will show there own people what they are missing and they will want it too which because of the arab spring upriseings thats already known to many poor people and they all watch and wait to see if iraq can do it then any country can, just as egyt did and other countries who are still trying to win there freedom ..but its not easy, you have 5000 year old mindsets thats self motivated, power and greed running ramped, but still they drudge on to fight for democracy and freedom....so it looks like hashemy got caught in many area's of terrorism and assassinations, and the truth be known there are many doing this but hashemi has been caught and he will have to prove his innocense which from what ive read he doesnt look very innocent...................]******

Press tour: no .. Tareq al-Hashemi, either a criminal .. Or falsely accused of

Posted 19/12/2011 09:01 AM

BAGHDAD - Babinaoz - agencies: the recent development of the problem of bomb parliament would be pivotal in our development and a key role in the political process and ways of functioning of these trends in the country after the years following the change of 2003.

Had failed attempts (Tmtma) which the thread is working very hard for it Fatoy file the way that turned out many files, and will not be like this (the solution), but covered up the case of (offense charged or fabrication) was the main reason, among other reasons , in the ruins of the political process and distort the continuing violence and crime until now.

Let us be more explicit let us separate and more practical in the subject, we say:

The true responsibility "His Excellency the Vice President of the Republic" for trying to blow up Parliament, it means a serious development turn the scales, and disrupts the makeup of the current to the forces of the political process, and requires the presence of major responsibilities in the treatment and response in order to preserve the principles of the ongoing process since 2003 and believes in the social ladder, and we'll come on in detail in the the next lines.

If the charge was fabricated, has reached the extent of publicity to the public, the fabrication of such a charge is not less dangerous than the crime itself .. Is the (spin) includes distortion, "a senior official in the State" also includes misleading and covered up the actual offender who wanted the bombing.

If you were (Tmtma) Subject In both cases there is a crime committed by seeking to close the file is in; either to cover up the Jean large such a level and keep it (and perhaps other many others) bombs that failed to explode today will explode tomorrow, and then there is no room for remorse, or concealment of a fabricate accusations, and this implies that this party will not hesitate to commit more than the crime of bombing Parliament and the return of the charge attached to innocent others like Mr. Hashimi, said that he was innocent.

This is the general framework of the crime and the recent developments .. The developments in each storm event, and come in the circumstances should not neglect their relevance to the crime itself one way or another .. It sets the conditions and the moments of the new Iraq at the crossroads of a complex and mysterious as long as things are meant to be managed this complexity and ambiguity.

If we adopted the standards psychological emotional, the Scott Mr. Hashemi, even now, in the event of his innocence, for such a charge and this level is the Scott out of context, psychological and emotional, identified by Hashemi, who often uttered words and the statements of a coup in things are less important than such a charge puts "personality all their political and professional," Wind-blown black shameful.

While preempted the (Iraqi), and Hashemi of the most prominent leaders of actual, not nominal, the charge to suspend its work in Parliament has been cited reasons, it was apparent, many of which involve the right, but does not seem to interior, away from the charge-Hashimi link to the terrorist act which does not distinguish between an enemy or a friend .. All terrorism is haram of course, whether against a friend or foe.

In contrast to this portrayal realistic neutral charge .. Let's think realistically and other conditions in the Declaration of charge and take it out of the public opinion the way that the leak.

To agree in principle to charge the devices are correct and that the investigation confirms the validity of confessions .. What flaw in that declaration and conditions ..?

Expected to look to act before the announcement of al-Hashemi was accused by his political opponents, has grabbed his cards rea .. What was expected to do the crime came to light after the investigative authorities and before they are announced?

Will be the first action expected from a man with such level-Hashemi, who found himself in which to disappear after 2003 and disappears from the face of a defeated justice or committed suicide .. This did not happen until the time .. Or provide detailed information useful to investigate the involvement of his staff in the crime and emphasizes that his connection to it .. This has not happened yet, too, but there it is not exempt from the monument, "vice president" the responsibility of covering up serious information, and does not absolve him of ill-chosen, deliberately or out of ignorance, to his companions, management and Hamayate, a bad nothing to do with putting personal, but related to the security of the country and the state at the highest their situations, even if the security is equal in front of the ordinary citizen and the highest official in the state.

Not disappeared Hashemi did not commit suicide did not provide information did not facilitate the investigation .. What if waiting to get out of the mess (and we emphasize here is not to default if we have sufficient information by waving to the authorities and then hide it) .. Do you wait Hashemi succeed efforts to (Tmtma) crime and to heal our shame through the gaps in the political process that had allowed the former colleagues of Hashemi and the same circle of alliances in the previous parliamentary session (such as Mishaan Jubouri and Adnan al-Dulaimi, Nasser al-Janabi, Mohammed Daini ..) to leave just as the hair of dough to save the political process and care safely Ganmen?

Will have the right Hashemi think this solution, the man did not hesitate for years struggle in the political process of committing the most heinous deeds that incur punishment of political and administrative government, and each time come out with a clear conscience reassured on his positions and interests and objectives within the political process that are not his only ride for the ride and return by and through to the time the commander of necessity, the only time of the dictator.

Apart from al-Hashemi and his crimes and his innocence and dreams .. To look to the other side .. To the center of power is held by rival red-handed .. And how did it ..

Initiated by the authorities to signal leaking to the public .. Then suggested that the pressure to prevent detection of the crime and the merits of the accusation against "the Vice-President of the Republic" .. Were then remember the Supreme Judicial Council, which is intended to achieve his place in the judiciary in areas other than eradication efforts and the efforts that could topple all Saamlh eliminate poor.

These circumstances suggest that the crimes are exploited for political tradeoffs and political interests .. We hope that this course of events other than the perception that can not be wise to prevent himself from it .. But previous experiences have been completed to gather clues to the shame of a criminal more than once and recklessly terrible fate of people and waste their blood and their future and their aspirations and dreams attainable free Iraq that want a secure and stable .. This is what worries the public opinion, which now splits between those who trust government statements and the fear of bypass it and those who see political falsely made.

Have you thought about it the moment the government, and in the pivotal and fundamental issues affecting the security of the country and the conduct of its political process, in the daily issues of governance matters and conditions of the country, as part of the key partners bear both immediately and determination?

To show more and let's be honest though, frankly, offensive in most conditions, but you must Altsarah we are not nationals in a foreign country, but citizens of the state bear the pros and cons .. The question also:

Is this the formula for single-handed the Prime Minister in the Department of State, valid to address the serious matter may change the course of consensual process in the country? Is the fate of the country and the state Almthrih restricted to his will and desires that are not collected with the higher national interests collector?

Is not this the case, treatment, intervention at the heart of national responsibility that we have launched the "political process"?, Do you think the Prime Minister calling for the urgent meeting of leaders of political blocs?, And suppose the exception of Ttoulhm charges despite the appreciation that the presence force to confirm the credibility and concern for national unity under Rants of, day and night.

Do you consult before taking any action, including the news leaked out about the alleged crime, with its closest allies, holding the mystery of serious regard to the security of the country and its political security? Do you talk with members of the state law? Do you talk with National Alliance, which brought Mr. Maliki as prime minister? Do you talk with the National Alliance allies who let pass a basket presidencies and the formation of the government? Have you thought about prime minister to call for a political meeting at the highest levels and put everyone in front of the historical and moral responsibilities? Do you think the formation was an extraordinary achievement to be trusted by everyone to gain access to the facts relevant to any political hue, interests and doubts?

Can not be a political consensus is required while requiring unanimity of interest in forgotten on the crucial issues that do not belong to a political party or a political person, but no one else that affects everyone and affects the country's security and stability of the policy .. Nothing in this speech and Alaarzaouat Balthass link that prints such as we have seen political Alajmaat .. But these issues should not affect the determination to deal with the behavior of a single determination wants to invest the facts, including the negative and positive to the conditions of special political.

After all, what emerged from the accused should not be al-Hashemi brings us back to the stage (and Adnan Nasir, Mohammad and Mishaan).

Public opinion and in this delicate moment of the critical history of the country and the people want the facts and facts alone.

Either Tareq al-Hashemi, however, be a criminal and justice .. Melvqo or be charged, however, criminals and justice as well.

Should call a spade a spade, if we want to build a state of justice, peace and freedom.

Is this a long Manal!?

Let's wait and think ..

Parliament on Holiday again after Kurdish Abstentions

Posted on 19 December 2011. Tags: Maliki, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Reidar Visser

The following article was published by Reidar Visser, an historian of Iraq educated at the University of Oxford and currently based at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs. It is reproduced here with the author’s permission. Any opinions expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.

The significant facts of Iraq’s unfolding political crisis this morning appear to be the following:

Parliament was unable to achieve a quorum. After a half-hour delay the attempt to hold a session was given up. Parliament will reconvene on 3 January 2012.

In a context when Iraqiyya is already boycotting parliament, it was reportedly the absence of the Kurdish parties that prevented a quorum. The Kurds themselves are stressing that “many deputies were absent” and say they are not boycotting in solidarity with Iraqiyya.

Several leading Iraqiyya leaders have travelled to the Kurdistan federal region over the past 24 hours.

The Iraqi higher judicial council has reportedly issued a prohibition aimed at preventing Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi of Iraqiyya and his security detail from leaving Iraq. Hashemi travelled to Sulaymaniyya in the Kurdish region yesterday.

The failure of parliament to hold its scheduled session seems to signify at least a symbolic blow to Maliki’s ambition of doing as he pleases in the wake of the US withdrawal. (Maliki yesteday formally conveyed a request to parliament for sacking his deputy from Iraqiyya, Salih al-Mutlak.) At least for now, the Kurds appear to be putting some kind of break on. Whether the ultimate aim is to get a better deal from Maliki (as has been their past inclination) or to genuinely work for a more radical restructuring of the Iraqi government remains to be seen. http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2011/12/19/parliament-on-holiday-again-after-kurdish-abstentions/

Iraq will collapse if oil and gas law is not put in place

Tuesday, Dec 20, 2011

Gulf News

In a nutshell: Iraq needs an oil and gas law badly — right now — but the Iraqi central government and provinces are unable agree on the way to go about signing oil contracts.

I have no doubt that this law will be the glue that holds the country together and prevents it from splintering and collapsing into 100 pieces before everyone’s eyes. We don’t need or want another Humpty Dumpty in Iraq, as we have had our share of broken hearts and heads over the past 40 plus years.

Why the law has been so long in the making may well be another indicator of the inability of all Iraqi blocs, government entities and provinces to reach a basic agreement about a life-threatening issue.

Why am I calling it a life-threatening issue? Simply because since the start of the 1990 UN sanctions, Iraq ceased to develop in any industrial or agricultural field and became entirely dependent on its oil production. Whoever implies otherwise can easily take a tour around Iraq’s market and search for any Iraqi agricultural or industrial product of any sort.

And as Iraq will be the most important oil producer around the globe towards 2035, according to international energy research centres, it is high time to draw the line regarding side dealings and to start focusing on the oil and gas law.

In October, the Kurdish Regional Government signed an agreement with ExxonMobil, the huge American oil company, based on a Kurdish government law that was neither approved nor based on the central Iraqi government’s laws and regulations.

New era

As a result Exxon was commissioned to develop oil and gas in six locations in the northern region of Iraq, sadly without the consent of Baghdad.

All this is taking place as the country is on the threshold of a new era, without US troops on the ground.

Some may think that the US is standing behind Exxon as its interests are the same as those of Washington.

However, that is not the case today.

The US State Department said lately that it had warned ExxonMobil and other US firms of the risks of signing contracts in Iraq without nationwide approval, but would not say whether it talked with Exxon before it struck the controversial oil deal in the Kurdistan region.

Because many people see ExxonMobil as an extension of the US State Department, some analysts believe the deal must have been approved by it.

At a media briefing, the State Department denied any knowledge of the Exxon deal and stressed that it did not encourage any oil company to strike deals bilaterally with governorates. The bottom line: deals have to be signed with the central government.

Can anyone seriously blame the Iraqi government for threatening to impose sanctions on any oil company that enters into separate agreements with any Iraqi local government or province?

Baghdad has also announced that ExxonMobil would be excluded from the next round of bidding for further contracts.

This is easier said than done. Exxon is no small fish. However, the Iraqis will act boldly.

“I don’t believe that the central government of Iraq will cancel any signed contracts or contracts that are already in place, and particularly a contract with ExxonMobil,” Deputy Prime Minister Ross Nouri Shawis said recently in London.

“Generally, there is a majority who want to resolve this problem, but of course there are opposing views, and this is normal with any topic.”

Iraqi government spokesman Dr Ali Al Dabbagh he said that the Iraqi Constitution’s Article 111 is clear on the ownership of gas and oil, and stipulates that the party responsible for approving contracts is the central federal government.

Exxon silent

Exxon for its part has not commented on the deal or on the threat of cancelling its contract to develop Iraq’s 8.7-billion-barrel West Qurna Phase One oilfield in the south.

Royal Dutch Shell has also held talks with the Kurds about potential investments over the past year, several officials and oil executives said.

Had Shell signed the deal to invest in Kurdistan, it could have derailed a $17 billion (Dh62 billion) gas deal with the Baghdad government.

The Kurds argue that the Iraqi constitution allows them to sign oil contracts and say Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Hussain Al Shahristan’s objection to the deals reflects opposition to Kurdish autonomy.

Some in Baghdad argue that a decentralised system of oil licensing could be chaotic and lead to a lack of transparency over revenues.

A line has to be drawn somewhere. A comprehensive and applicable oil and hydrocarbon policy and law must be put in place in Iraq.

There have been so many attempts to draft a law since 2006 that expecting one anytime soon is not realistic.

With this law, a semblance of normality will be present in Iraq. Without it, there will be serious consequences. http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidGN_19122011_201217

******** Maliki calls for the strengthening of trust between Iraq and Kuwait

19.12.2011 19.12.2011

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki Monday to build the confidence of the documented relationship between Iraq and Kuwait "does not vibrate to any change," asserting that "the adventure is over time and will not allow any attack on Iraq from any point on Kuwait," he said. According to the official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that al-Maliki made the remarks when he received the delegation of the Kuwaiti Journalists Association in Baghdad. . He was quoted as saying "We want to restore mutual trust between the two countries and peoples of Kuwait and Iraq and that does not come adventurer like Saddam, worsening of relations between the two countries," adding that "there is a lot of those adventurers who claim to Arab nationalism, they want to repeat the experiences of a painful past, but they have no influence on the decision in Iraq today, which goes towards clear where he wants sovereignty does not allow one to interfere in its affairs does not want to interfere in the affairs of others, "as he put it. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iraqhurr.org%2F&langpair=ar|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8

**********Federal Oil and Gas Law: Viability, Coherence and Functioning Perspectives

Posted on 20 December 2011. Tags: Ahmed Mousa Jiyad, hydrocarbon law, Oil and Gas Law, oil law

By Ahmed Mousa Jiyad. Any opinions expressed are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.

Mr Jiyad is an independent development consultant, scholar and Associate with Centre for Global Energy Studies (CGES), London. He was formerly a senior economist with the Iraq National Oil Company and Iraq’s Ministry of Oil, Chief Expert for the Council of Ministers, Director at the Ministry of Trade, and International Specialist with UN organizations in Uganda, Sudan and Jordan. He is now based in Norway (Email: mou-jiya@online.no).

Introduction.

The meetings between the federal and KRG delegations held in Baghdad in the last days of October 2011 resulted in an agreement to base their discussion on the February 2007 version of the federal oil and gas law-FOGL.

Detailed, thorough and article-by-article assessments of the February 2007 draft of the law have been done and published by known Iraqi oil professionals, including this writer. The consensus among them indicates the draft suffers from many very serious flaws that ought to be addressed, revised, and redrafted. Moreover, essential and fundamental provisions are, by now, have been overtaken by events that render them outdated, irrelevant and dysfunctional.

What is needed then a very serious look into every article and the entire proposed law from substantive, format and operational aspects to insure its viability, coherence and proper functioning. It would be a grave mistake to consider the “law” as “political deal” since all had learned that most if not all political deals, in Iraq, are easily forgotten and short live!

This intervention aims to shed light on the most important issues and matters of concerns, which should be taken into considerations during the process of negotiating and finalizing a proposed draft of this law.1

Time factor effects

Many very important developments have taken place since February 2007, which makes it imperative to revise seriously various articles in the law since these provisions have been overtaken by events and thus became almost obsolete or redundant.

First: Among these developments are the bid rounds concluded by the MoO that led to concluding long term service contracts. These have generated many major consequences, which have direct implications on the proposed law.

Second: All major oilfields (except few such Kirkuk, Bai Hassan, East Baghdad among others) have been already contracted for re-development and/ or development with IOCs involvement. Consequently, there could be no need to offer any of the remaining fields for IOCs in whatever way or method. These remaining fields could be legally (by this proposed law) earmarked for INOC (to be reinstated), as suggested below.

Third: The concluded service contracts with IOCs, if implemented as envisaged, together with the production from other fields would bring Iraq’s production and export capacities to very high and unprecedented levels, even at partial success of half the contracted production targets. The implications is that there are no compelling reasons for Iraq to expand the production capacities any further at least in the next 15-20 years. The law may suggest a moratorium on any “new” development of oil fields for no less than 15 years. Moreover, the law ought to emphases the proper development of the contracted fields in the most optimum way to ensure the constitutional principle of “highest benefits to the Iraqi people”. Accordingly, the field development plans (initial and final) are of paramount importance that they should be formulated by technically competent petroleum team, approved by and constantly monitored by petroleum central authority;

Fourth: All the bid rounds were based on a service contract type and modality. The law should clearly extend support and preference to this type of contracting by making it mandatory to use this type of contracting. To prevent any misinterpretation it might be advisable to have a specific article in the law to make it unlawful and unconstitutional to conclude Production Sharing Contract- PSC in petroleum upstream sub-sector. The law ought to prohibit PSC in any phase of exploration, or development and production activities, in compliance with constitutional basic principles of collective ownership of petroleum resources and the best interests of the Iraqi people.

Fifth: The service contracts have already established significant milestones that are superior to those envisaged under February 2007 version of this law regarding, interalia, fiscal regime, conservation measures particularly those relating to gas utilization, good vs. best international business practices, dispute settlement modalities etc. Accordingly, good number of articles in this proposed law need revision on the lights of what actually have been concluded and evolved since February 2007.

Sixth: The relationship between this law and the proposed laws for the Ministry of Oil, INOC, Revenue Sharing and finally the General Commission for Observing the Allocation of Federal Revenue have to be well coordinated and considered to ensure harmony and coherence. http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2011/12/20/federal-oil-and-gas-law-viability-coherence-and-functioning-perspectives/

And we will find in the folds of the following report visions of economists and law and their vision of the importance of law and how to get out of its impasse. has become the symposium panel discussion on the challenges of the oil industry extractive to a constructive dialogue in order to establish oil and gas law to be of the oil industry extractive and other power of the law make it in the forefront of the industries that serve the programs of development. just the whole number of economists and law on the importance of expediting legislation the law of oil and gas in order to develop oil policies on the right track and to ensure the best use of national wealth-rich. This consensus in a seminar discussion organized by the Iraqi Institute for economic reform, which was characterized by high level of transparency and disclosure bold to ask in the working papers of the seven made by the experts at the symposium. worksheet first made by the President of the advisory board Thamer Ghadban as accompanied the process of preparing a draft law of oil and gas and assume advanced positions in the leadership of the oil sector in a timely manner and his long experience in this area, and presented a chronology of the stages that have passed the draft law with the detection of Khvaya many accompanied the processes of discussion and debates that took place.

Judge Wael Abdul Latif said in his paper that the Iraqi constitution in force for 2005's first constitution codifies the right of Iraqis through as provided in Article 111 of the oil and gas is the property of all Iraqi people in all regions and provinces, and added that this article did not mention in any constitution earlier whether Iraq's permanent constitution (Basic Law) of 1925 or a series of temporary constitutions for the years 1958.1964, 1968, 1970 not even in the draft constitution for Iraq in 1991 (after the popular uprising) as well as the law of the State Administration of Iraq for the Transitional Period of 2004 and the constitutions applicable to Iraq such as the Constitution Ottoman in 1867 or the Regulations by the British Governor of Iraq in 1920. focused Abdullatif that the constitutional article was a public promise does not mean anything in this field and believes in the need to regulate how they going to be the property and the words start to all (Iraqi people), which addresses citizenship regardless of religion, nationalism and ethnicity are but mimic Iraq regardless of the spot that is home to. He concluded by saying: that Article need legal mechanisms show a partnership and ownership of the Iraqis to this wealth. He noted that the first paragraph of Article 112 stipulates the following: The federal government will administer oil and gas extracted from current fields with the governments of producing regions and provinces to be distributed and imports fairly commensurate with the demographic distribution across the country with the quota for a specified period for affected regions that were deprived of an unfair way by the former regime, which are damaged after that so as to ensure balanced development in different parts of the country and this shall be regulated by law. He said Abdul Latif said all the objectives set by the legislator is required of the legislature normal that organized under the law, but that the goals of the legislator failed to materialize now and on the eve of 2012. The judge concluded Wael out that the problem of deep, is that all the constitutional articles related to this wealth and the objectives set by the legislator and in spite of the entry into force the Constitution since 2006 have not been achieved so far and the reason is the failure of the legislature normal organized by law. also made other papers do not move away in the analysis of what put and carried the visions of an additive in the importance of oil issues we have mentioned in the news, which was published yesterday, but the important thing is that the seminar concluded that the need to enact the law during the year 2012 by solving all the problems differences through dialogue and the Pacific, including construction and in the interest of the nation and the Iraqi citizens in every part of the territory.

******** Economic organizations calling for the distribution of surplus oil revenues among citizens 20/12/2011 Confirmed its contribution to poverty reduction BAGHDAD - Haider Flaih Rubaie Iraq seeks to double its imports of Finance through increased export of oil, which is funded by the President of the budgets of the country, which sought the government has established a number of licensing rounds that led to the presence of a group of major oil companies the world's leading mining and exploration or exploitation of associated gas, and is expected are interested in higher exports of Iraqi oil the years 2015 - 2016 to 12 million barrels per day, which means that the financial revenues that would accrue the country would be sufficient to fund dozens of projects, investment and construction, as well as the total elimination of what experienced by public budgets deficit the owner for years. While calling many concerned economists on the government to redouble its efforts to attract more international oil companies, specialized organizations called for an economic distribution of fiscal surplus, which can be achieved as a result of rising exports among the people, stressing that can lead to many positive results that would raise the standard of living of the people, and contribute to activating the economy through investments of individual funds in excess of their need, as well as connect people state and Shidhm them more closely than now. The oil expert Kamel Almhedy at a seminar organized by the Institute Iraq to provide supervised by economic thinker Dr. Mahdi Al-Hafiz and titled (participation in oil revenues in Iraq), Iraq was on the strategic level may face taking one of two options, either the distribution of revenues between adults, or distribution of the total population, and this could be after the country may achieve significant progress in the volume of export daily oil which was estimated at 12 million barrels a day, where it is hoped that there be a financial surplus can be used to eliminate a number of economic problems for the LAPD, most notably poverty, unemployment and community engagement to what can be achieved by the state on the economic level. The Almhedy that the distribution process can be done through the exchange shares of citizens directly from the state to the citizen or through an investment fund to employ the funds and then distribute the profits, including the end of each year, noting that it is now in many countries and cities of the world, as is the case in the state (Alaska) U.S., noting that he was due to the poverty situation in Iraq can be a distribution of indirect (investment fund) is the safest of the economic and financial, but it does not satisfy those who are below the poverty line and others in need. and the expert that the number of covered by the distribution will be (17) million people, receive (30.4) million shares, as far as the Iraqi population, if the distribution was equal for all, young »and old», women »and men», but Almhedy pointed the finger of the deficit to the possibilities available to the banks Iraqi in completing such a project optimally, saying that the distribution of the number of shares among the citizens, month »or was a year», it is not easy, because it requires the infrastructure is not currently available. IFC Iraqi bank relied on exchange entitlements of citizens, are not eligible, either qualitatively or numerically for such a task. The expert in this regard: The number of banks, the current does not exceed (30) banks «government or private, and the number of branches up to (550) branch», which means division of the beneficiaries at a rate of up to (29 300) people per bank or nearly (1330) people / day / one of the bank, if distributed within one month, taking into account weekends. In contrast, the efficiency of Iraqi banks may not exceed (120) people / day / to the bank, the pattern remained on the current work, the allocation of one staff member works (6) hours per day », fast delivery of (3) minutes per customer. Although this speed is the speed of optimistic, there is a need for approximately (10) times the number of existing banks »in order to be able to deal satisfactorily with the project. Even if you doubled the activity of banks, the current remains we have need to use the offices of banking or offices other eligibility or benefit of card services to smart to cover the deficit, as is the case in the disbursement of pensions now. Hinted Almhedy during his research to the presence of many of the gains can be achieved after the initiation of the distribution of financial benefits derived through the sale of oil between the citizens, saying that among those benefits is to raise the standard of living of the people, especially the poor him. As well as contributing to the revitalization of the economy through investments of individuals of funds in excess of their need, and connecting people the state and Shidhm them more closely than it now is, which can reduce the rush towards the federation, or reduce their drive for separatism. Likely increased interest of the citizens budget and details after the initiation of the matter , which will lead to increased popular control on the performance of the central government and local governments, and thus is able to improve its performance. Is to highlight what can be achieved by the project, according to oil expert assistance in the reduction of sabotage attacks on the economic establishments, particularly those related to oil after the people's sense that those facilities can give them more money. As well as providing opportunity for elimination of the ration, which formed the burden «administrative» State since 2003. To ensure the success of the project and achieve the best results recommended expert quickly conduct a census and the creation of necessary infrastructure such as banking, telecommunications, control and address the situation of taxes. stressing that the validity of this project are related direct reform of the economic situation in Iraq and the deepening of economic awareness of the citizens to ensure fruitful cooperation between the state and society http://www.alsabaah.com/ArticleShow.aspx?ID=18722

Elixirbaby, I appreciate that you are in contact with Bondlady and that she asked you to bring this information to us, and I also appreciate very much that you did so. I agree with you that she has been an amazing asset, and as long as you or I, or whomever, is willing to bring her translations back here, we will be more informed and much wiser for it. You owe no one an explanation for doing this. Those of us who have been around long enough already know how important Bondlady's information is. This is not to slam those who simply don't know this yet, but they need to watch a bit and see the reactions to new information before fussing and complaining about the method of its arrival. haha

Sorry ronbo62, but this where we post our opinions!! I'm one of the people who reads the news and I don't post these long diatribes. I'm really not bashing bondlady, but expressing my opinion on what she wrote! Are you into censorship and want people to post only what you want to hear?? Until someone in charge tell me otherwise, I will continue to post my opinion no matter what you or anybody else says! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

Without the full information, you are being too self-denfensive, and thus, not being fair to those of us who have been here longer, know more of the history and the terrain of this site, and remember when BondLady was hounded so unfairly and so badly by someone here that she simply left our site altoghether. Those of us who respected her and valued her information didn't blame her for leaving, not at all. Eventually she did drop back in once in a very long while, and she has also given permission now and then for some of her things to be brought back here, but she was so offended and probably hurt that this took a long time. I will say that this piece is highly unusually long, much longer than anything else she has ever posted, at least that I've read. However, BondLady is just not your average bear--she is a highly knowledgable translator and provider of Iraqi news and Middle East news that impacts Iraq, and those of us who have respected her and wanted her information are quite sensitive to her feelings. She is good enough that she has even trumped Adam a few times. We have a right to respect her wishes, and to ask others to do the same, because otherwise, we could lose her, and because we certainly understand her feelings about this issue, we want to protect her not only because we like and trust her, but also in order to keep her bringing or sending information back to us. There were many times during some of our learning curves in the past , my own included, or perhaps I should say "my own especially," that her information proved invaluable. I hope you will respect our wishes regarding this issue and not say anything that might trigger that old issue or that could be considered as inflamatory toward her. Just so you know, this really has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with us and our wishes regarding any post from BondLady. Thank you.

I explained the best I could, and I was kind about it, in spite of your persistent rudeness. You have no right to ram your way into a situation that has been made clear to you and to alter things for the rest of us who actually do "have a dog in this fight." I tried to be nice to you and to give you enough information to understand the situation, as did several others, but apparently that won't do. So this is how I will handle this situation in the future, and I will welcome others to do the same. If you ever say one more thing against BondLady or any of her posts, I will from that point onward consider you invisible. Starting at that moment, I will never again reply to you about anything you say, either on this thread or anywhere else in this website. To me you will simply no longer exist. You want to dash in and dictate the terms of things, then go ahead. I don't understand how you can come in here as a new person and be so persistent in claiming to be right, when simply being considerate and doing the right thing would be so much easier. I hope you don't underestimate my intentions and think I won't do this, because I will. Several other people have asked you politely to keep your opinons regarding BondLady to yourself, and you persist in arguing with them, too. As far as I am concerned, you are welcome to join us and to talk about many things, but not to behave in such a way that you could deprive us of important if not vital information that we want and value. This is how important this issue is.

Oh, and by the way, you are not being censored, just being told to shut up about something you are choosing not to understand.

[Darin]

Again I ask, "am I being censored for posting something against her majesty (she seems to be treated like a queen) BL"? I would like to think that "free speach" is alive and well in good old USA! It seems it is all over except here!!

Your right, this is the opinions section & you can post as you please.. But, coming into an opinions sections, I find it odd how you are wondering why the post was even brought over. You know how many posts I never even open? Rumors are one for sure that I never touch. If you don't like it, you don't necessarily have to read it. Don't get mad at long diatribes because they're extensive readings, the benefit others because it helps them understand or play catch-up.

Free speech is alive and well.. I find it odd that those that harp about how its dead are the ones having to defend their opinions.

Ever heard that phrase, "If that ain't calling the kettle black"?

Other members are expressing their opinions towards you now & you are not liking it.. What about their free speech?

As for my opinion, why is BL so loved? She does a majority of the work for a lot of us. She breaks down articles, grabs ones that seem important, & gives her opinion of it.

Now, we don't have to agree with her, but reading the posts you may learn something.

gm all my lovlies at BLC, gm all my fabulous team, yesterday in our chat room, myself and my team typed for hours and hours and hours all thru the morning , day and evening trying to dispell fears of all the major moves going on in iraq in the last few days, some fears was caused by some forum leaders paranoia and lack of understanding to some of these articles that we are seeing, and many came flocking to BLC for clarification of what they mean and so to dispell many fears,

i decided to put this post together for us all and hopfully calm peoples spirits a little as i firmly believe knowledge is key and understanding what is actually going on, i implore u all to stay away from the rumors and the baseless and endless suposed intel that never comes true, but to stay grounded within the news comming out of iraq, read all u can and what u have probs with, me and my team are here for each and every one of u, we lead in the dinar world as far as articles go and the understanding of these articles makes the world of differances to the understanding of whats actually going on without haveing to make things up or make a article mean what we want it to mean to prove fake rumors and intel, we try to stay as spot on in all things as we can and if we are unsure of things we donot have a problem saying so, or if what we might think is wrong we will be the 1st one to step up and say so, just trying to be as credible and accurate as possible and retain our respectability and credibility in a extremly incredible and uncredible place…the net….so with all that being said lets talk about the 4 major issues that are attacking the political process and democracy in iraq…..1, u have the fight goin on with mutlaq and maliki, 2nd, u have a minister, hashemi, charged with terrorism, 3rd, allawi and his bloc walking out of parliment, and 4th parliment closin shop up till the 3rd of january 2012, and then we will discuss the positives going on as well, grab a cup of coffee let the dog out and get geared for a lot of reading and please no complaints about the length of my post this took a lot of hours to do and my attempt to school u in your investment and the process and the goings on so u wont fall for some forum leaders scarey posts or rumors or there intel, so lets get started……………….the fight between mutlaq and maliki has been going on for a few months now, they disagree about several issues, and it seems out of frustraition, mutlaq called maliki a dictator or worse than saddom, which totally p-off maliki to the point maliki went to parliment and ask that mutlaq be suspended from parliment***********Tuesday 20 December 2011 Ziadi: Request to withdraw confidence from the al-Mutlaq is irreversible and the National Alliance as a whole supports the move Baghdad / babysit – expressed a National Alliance MP Faleh Ziadi extremely surprised by the Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq as Mrash Mr. Nuri al-Maliki as “a destructive dictator.” Ziadi said in a statement to the news agency of public opinion (and babysit) on Tuesday, “We expected some of the parties in the political process, especially some parties of the Iraqi List, said the crisis by contriving to miss the joy on the withdrawal of Iraqi forces, U.S. occupation of the country.” The Deputy Prime Minister for Services Affairs Saleh al-Mutlaq, has criticized Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki as Bacanutatcor which does not build, saying that there is a difference between the dictator and the dictator who is building that does not build. He Ziadi “the issue of a request to withdraw confidence from the al-Mutlaq is final and irrevocable and that all members of the National Alliance does not agree to the isolation many reasons, including administrative and financial as well as for failing to adopt a position supporting the government, which Ferencvaros it. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki asked the Chamber of Representatives to withdraw confidence from his deputy al-Mutlaq after the last attack in the media … http://alrayy.com/38211.htm **** Biden has been mediating between Maliki and Mutlaq

Its no wonder the U.S. is scrambling back and forth to Iraq..

Its definately going to have an impact on the more un read american public on how our economy is working..heres why:

Most americans do not have or even pay attention to Ieaq as we do..Obama in his best case scenario needs this to RV NOW.. Why you ask?

Iraq doesnt care about us or our money. Obama does because it is election time..If the Dinar Rv's before the 1st, then he has until april to collect capital gains taxes on trillions of Dinar cash ins that would off set the deficit, increase obviouse cash flow, the economy would greatly improve FAST !.

Think as a common joe for a second.Most husbands and wives who hold dinar would most likely quit their jobs, opening millions of jobs immediately.They would most likely pay off their homes or buy new ones thus turning the housing market around. It dominoes buy creating construction work for all the trades!

Now furniture is selling again and the car business startes to boom here.

The banks will loosen lending requirements and have better portfolios.

Now the next part...If the Dinar doesnt RV until after Jan 1st,,WATCH, I predict, WATCH our government put that well spoken of flat 15%tax break in place if you

pay your taxes immdeiately when you cash in , collecting much taxes immediately because otherwise, you really wouldnt have to pay the government until the latest april 15th of 2013 !!

If people choose to do that, they most likely will lose the 15% flat tax and I see the government creating and implementing the rich tax program which makes the government more money.

So i see that the U.S. gov has all the bases covered.

Now Obama looks like a hero and probobly be his ONLY chance of getting re elected.

You can pay now or later.but later will most likely end up costing you more..

I have NO contacts or anyone advising me. Im just an average Joe who likes using common sense and using the odds to work for me.

Here is why we see us scrambling to get Iraq to play nice and NOW !!

Any thoughts?

GOOOOO RV
