Highlights & Summary of Tonights News:
Mike summarizes tonights news:
Nothing but more positive news....moving right along...
Lots of bickering going on still..when you read the articles
Understand Things may not seem as bad as the they seem
when you read news articles about these things compare it
to our elections over here...having debates...crisis over budget etc
same as here in the US ...that is what you asre hearing over there
There is lots of movements..thats what we want to see
we need to get everything in place..passed and moved on...very key
I believe these are the finishing steps to get everything in place so the currency can properly RV and do what it can...as we have seen in the past they can adjust the rate and they can do it at anytime
Parliament in session on Saturday...
Mike "ALL PARTYS NEED TO BE READY"
Extremely good stuff going going on last couple of days
Over the past couple of days...This being the 1st rate adjustment
CBI made-I am sure that there were lots of shockwaves sent thru the economic commuinity as they started to do this
and possibly people might have thought this rate was the real rate for the RV
We know why they went from 1170 to 1166..basically for the CBI to kinda show whats going on...truly an adjustment they made because the American dollar has gotten a little bit stronger...so they can try to slow down the amount of people coming in and they can take a few more dinars off the street...
such a small amount that it kinda really shows the political people that
they can do this with or without you from that standpoint
Good movement with the Budget and moving thru the political process
We are starting to see movement on 140 and agreement on 140
We want to see them agreeing on small things and small steps
Ultimate smoke screen before they do anything...I believe they are going to be bickering up to the bitter end
We will have some sort of RV/Reinstatement
and you will start to see the parties will make up
They will probably not put it out there
They are still very new to the political process
Sometimes they let things sneak out and we can get some juicy bits from
the newspaper like we did from the CBI
Can the Kurds force open the budget
Thye dont have the power to open up the budget
The only person is Maliki and I dont think M wants to do that..
they have him between a rock and a hard spot
If they show up and 140 is not done and force the budget thru
it would hurt what he is trying to do in the long run
I would assume you are going to get agreement on the budget to move that forward
We talked about where Erbil HCL and 140 - We are starting to see they really want to do that and to move forward
Outside influences...We can see Iraq acting as a sovreign country
Diplomatic ways are the ways people are putting pressure on that
The UN really doesn't have any pressure to put on them other than wanting them off sanctions and get them out and going
The UN will not have anything to say about the RV
Truly the only ones who have anything to say about that is the CBI and where they are at and in conjunction with the IMF and they will do that at a time they consider as perfect time for them to do that for their country and where they are at
Does the US have any influence on this RV? I am sure we have some but whether they have it over when where and how to do it...
I believe in my own mind Iraq is in charge of that process
they will do it when they need to do it for what they need to do it for
We can apply political pressure on any country we want to help force them down to a point where they can do things
but when it comes to a monetary policy of a country we really dont have that much influence because they are a Central Bank they are not associated with Central Govt...
They are truly independent just as our fed reserves is truly indep from our govt...Most people dont know that ...because it has the word fed in it
Really acts by itself in conjunction with the govt in our country
but there are times they will go out and act on behalf of the economy and not on behalf of the politicians
Truly the IMF and Shabs/CBI are in charge of all this..
We've seen movemenmt in all of the areas we thought we would see movement in.....we really want to see these things passed and they are moving these things along....increment of a couple of days to move things on to vote
But Eventually they are going to have to vote and get these things done
because the success of their future depends on it and they all know that
and these games are going to have to come to an end VERY SOON..
Again Looking forward to the news this week...we should find out what has been accomplished and negotiated..should be big news week coming up...........WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN
Listen to the call for all of the comments about the following articles discussed.
SHANNAN'S COVERAGE
Delete the three zeroes from the Iraqi work you will warp the Iraqi economy
Economist: Iraq's economy vulnerable to the global economy variables
Bank: the launch of credit cards, various blocks will reduce the cash
Parliament completed the budget discussion .. And the completion of final accounts
The central bank raise the price of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar by 3.4%
Iraq cabinet okays 2012 budget at $100 billion
MIKE'S COVERAGE

Highlights/Summary and Replay of Conference Call
Highlights & Summary of Tonights News:
Theme for the Night: I Hear the Training A Coming
(Thanks to Brandy for the summary)
Mike summarizes the news tonight...
Emergency Meeting (to talk about an emergency meeting) which will take place on Sunday ....all of the Blocs are all trying to get together on Sunday for one reason...there is a National Conference on the 17th.... the blocs are going to meet on Sunday and is one of the last chances they have to get it to together and get things going..they are all kinda fighting and hoping their pre-conditions will be met and none of them want to be marginalized and they are kinda fighting about where they want to have it and where it is going to be.
But this meeting will take place because the National Conference is very important to Iraq ....they need positive things coming out of those meetings as they move into the National Conference on the 17th...
Big week coming up for the political scene....as we head into next week
it is going to be huge to see what happens...the stage is set
Maliki has kinda double downed....Allawi kinda sitting there...saying okay we have contracts....we are going to sign more contracts.....thats the pressure that we can put on you...and you can try and say these contracts are going to go.....one way or the other you have to sign these
contracts anyway....
Next week is pretty big ...as we start to hear the news coming out in the next couple of days as they head towards next week....keep a close eye on the news...should be hopefully things happening.....
Remember how close we are...we are close to the last readings of the Budget, Erbil....there are very few things that have to be worked out as we move forward to give Shabibi a positive sign that his government is there
and that he can see the power being shared and start to think about what he has to do and move forward on his timeline and whether or not he can actually pull that trigger and move forward

ADDED ARTICLE DURING Q & A:
Iraq dinar will not be used in oil sales
www.sotaliraq.com
08-01-2012 | (Voice of Iraq) - Add a comment - Baghdad - Naseer Goldfinch - Dar Al Hayat
Denied the Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Iraq the appearance of Mohammed Saleh, and there are efforts to use the Iraqi dinar in the sales of some of the oil exports of the country, because the «market speculators will buy the dinar to sell to countries dealing with the country's oil, and we will enter into a whirlpool of speculation in the dinar, and we are already to reduce inflation suffered monetary Ktltna ».
Saleh pointed out that countries that have turned their currencies to the international currency has a very strong economy, such as the European Union, China, Japan and the United States. The Iraqi dinar covers foreign currency assets of over $ 53 billion.
In a draft deleting three zeros from the dinar, said that «the central bank ended the preparations for the replacement process end of the year», pointing out that «dinar witnessed the first process of replacing a successful year 2004, when it replaced more than six trillion dinars Bdnanar new and is expected to begin the process of replacement of a second After removing three zeros end of this year, and this will be decided by the government ».
The size of the Iraqi currency traded locally about 33 trillion dinars, after he was no more than six trillion in 2003, and controlled banks accounted for 70 percent of the money supply.
Salih stressed that the auctions of the Central Bank sold $ 40 billion over the past year, pointing out that «the auction is one of the most important means of monetary policy shift in which oil revenues to the liquidity of local insurance requirements of government budgets, in addition to control of the dinar exchange rate and reducing inflation».
He added that «the bank will be obliged to block the issuance of additional cash during the current year, due to the increased size of the budget, and that means securing additional reserves in hard currency, which is normal with the growth of the overall economy of the country».
He explained that the Central Bank is obliged offering larger quantities of the dollar through auction the higher government expenditures denominated in dinars, as the 60 per cent of the proceeds of the sale go expenses-governmental organizations, and the remaining are for the benefit of the private sector, and expected to increase demand for the dollar in the current year due to adoption of the government budget is the highest in the country's history.
Budget cuts
The Iraqi government decided to cut the budget this year of $ 115 billion to 100 billion, based on the price of a barrel of oil worth $ 85, and a deficit of $ 14 billion would be covered through internal and external borrowing from the IMF and World Bank.
The volume of foreign trade to Iraq in the last year, according to the benefit of $ 46 billion, two-thirds of the private sector. It is noteworthy that the Iraqis would prefer to deal in dollars because of the low value of the dinar, as the value of the banknote the same category Top 25 thousand dinars (equivalent to $20)

Erbil confirm an agreement with Baghdad to resolve differences with oil & gas Posted 24 November 2011 - 12:06 AM
11/23/2011 3:13:47 PM
BAGHDAD - The Constitution
Announced drastically Minister of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan regional government for reaching an agreement with Baghdad over oil and gas contracts, and revenues from exports. He said in Hawrami was agreed recently between Baghdad and Erbil to increase the rate of export of the province next year from oil to 175 thousand barrels per day. He to the formula that was agreed upon with the Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani, to discuss the draft law of oil and gas, which will hopefully be sent to the Parliament end of the year. Cdaaqrar the Council of Ministers in the central government to hold Shell's $ 17 billion, for the collection of associated gas. A contract, which will be formally signed on Sunday. Rule out the Executive Director of Royal Dutch Shell to Iraq to export up to 2.6 million barrels per day in 2012. The Executive Director of Shell Stsevs Chrind Analarac unable to access to energy export 2.6 million barrels because there are problems in the process of transportation where the supposed rehabilitation of pipeline and provide tanks of new oil fit Mirum Iraq exported in 2012. He explained that the problem of Iraq's oil lies in the export more of its production and the extraction process because the structure of export are not commensurate with the quantities that aspire to the Baghdad government. He said the production capacity of Iraq up to 3.4 million barrels in 2012 but can not export all the quantity produced and will suffer from a lack of installed cabinets. To that according to a study conducted by the Harvard Kennedy recently that Iraq sits on top of the third-largest oil reserves in the world, while producing less than 4 percent of the world's oil, noting that Iraq has a great opportunity to increase its production of energy, as it seeks to increase production to reach 10 million barrels of oil per day by the year 2017. But the ambitious timetable for the country faces many challenges as suffering from infrastructure crumbling, and the scarcity of trained professionals, and security environment and political unstable. Explains a professor at the Kennedy School Meghan O'Sullivan, who served in the White House and the Deputy National Security Advisor for Iraq and Afghanistan from 2004 to 2007. Because of these factors, the operational and logistics play a big role in whether Iraq will be able to reach the potential energy, the political factors will be equally important and for this reason, the working paper focuses on the political issues that have received relatively little attention so far and are essential for the smooth development of energy in Iraq. The study indicates that Iraq already gets 90 percent of its revenue from the energy sector, and recover from the recent war depends to a large extent on the successful exploitation of the wealth of the country, which under the ground . There is a need for significant investment in public works, health and education. wrote O'Sullivan, Director of the Geopolitics of Energy Project at the Kennedy School that the failure of production across the social and economic dimensions will put the political system fragile in Iraq is under pressure, on the contrary, the increase in revenues from oil and natural gas to help Iraq to support the young democracy, and rebuild its military capabilities, and re-influence in the region. Iraq has promised that a translation in the field of energy a reality, says O'Sullivan, is not in the interest of Iraq, but also the entire international community. There is a global financial recovery will lead to increased demand for oil, and if there can be no demand at current prices, it will be driven by high prices. There has been an energy crisis of this kind in 2008, when oil prices hit $ 147 a barrel. And Iraq had a large reserve of oil can be offered on the Internet and relatively quickly, from a technological standpoint, simply. Many of the Energy Outlook already rely on the availability of large quantities of Iraqi oil in global markets. And the failure of Iraq in the implementation of plans to expand production, at least in part, it will contribute to another crisis, where the contraction of the energy in the global economy. But a number of political problems must be overcome before Iraq is able to make any serious progress towards achieving the objectives of energy. Political stability is critical to the energy agenda in the country, while it can achieve this agenda, and almost paradoxically, help to enhance this stability. A major obstacle is the difference between the central government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government, as well as provincial governments in all parts of Iraq. Simply put, in different parts of this country did not agree on how to develop and share resources. The study shows, for example, the Kurdistan region, dozens of contracts granting licenses to international companies to develop oil and gas fields within its borders. The Baghdad government announced that those contracts are illegal and will not (until recently) to allow newly produced oil to flow in pipelines in Iraq. He left Kurdistan, landlocked, with oil, which can not export. The impasse eased last spring a bit, when Baghdad was the need of the oil revenues to finance the budget in 2011, allowing for the use of Kurdish pipelines. But there are still question the legitimacy of the Kurdistan contracts pending. And increases the complexity of the situation is the fact that Iraq is composed of the provinces of the youngest, you also want to know how they can develop their resources. At the same time, the future role of the United States in Iraq remains unknown Convention signed in 2008 between the two countries, which allowed the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq, expires at the end of 2011. While President Barack Obama has said he will not renew this Agreement and the expansion of a strategic framework agreement, and provide the foundation for the bilateral relationship in non-military ties. And concluded O'Sullivan to say that our interest in maintaining the partnership with Iraq, especially since many of our partnerships traditional region led to an abrupt end during the unrest that occurred in the Arab spring, adding that the idea that the United States want to access commercially to the Iraqi oil is overly simplistic, if not misleading, pointing to the attention of a greater strategic importance is the presence of a stable Iraq that could bring more of oil to the global market and benefit the Iraqi people and the world as a whole.

Joey: You gotta have a true Security Force to protect those pipelines. If you’re a Country dropping 12B into another Country you want to make sure it is stable. Do you think that’s why they kept that very nice piece of land that they gave to Exxon/Mobil with one of the richest oil fields on it? Do you think that has something to due with what they owe the United States?

It is time to think of Iraq as a country and not as an arena of war
11.23.2011 | (Voice of Iraq) – Add comments – about: New York Times five years ago almost to swallow the civil war in Iraq. There was more than a hundred and forty American fighters deployed in each country and are fighting the insurgents, who many thought that they will achieve victory. Today, after many sacrifices made by the Iraqi people and U.S. troops, civilians and military, Iraq is turning to a different country. I have used the United States everything it can from its human resources in an effort to help Iraq become a stable country, a sovereign self-reliant. As Iraq continues to face significant challenges, it is expected to become an important partner of the United States in the strategic heart of the Middle East, and U.S. troops will return home at the end of this year. This means that the time has come to think of Iraq as a country and not as an arena of war. At a time when the U.S. economy needs a lot, it is possible to create the Iraqi economy, the rapidly growing opportunities to help revive the U.S. economy, there are few who know that Iraq will grow more rapidly than China or India over the next five years. Iraq is one of the oil exporters leading the world, and production of oil will double over the subsequent years, and then will accrue interest not only oil companies operating in it, Iraq is investing billions to rebuild all sectors of economic – including infrastructure and transport networks, education, health care, agriculture, and systems telecommunications – and that Iraq has more rules to attract customers and clients in the Arab world. Today’s line up companies from China, France, Germany, Turkey and Iran to engage in business in Iraq, the U.S. is trying to make sure that U.S. companies will get some of these opportunities as well. It is the first to the tenth of November – for the first time since 1988 – The United States companies and universities and their tourist attractions in the exhibition, the annual trade, which is held in Baghdad, the Baghdad International Fair, after years of preoccupation with the Iraqis completely the security situation, this exhibition is a symbol of what came the efforts of the Americans. At the Pavilion of the United States allocated in the Baghdad Expo, presented the U.S. Embassy Services hundred of its companies in addition to other business organizations such as Chamber of Commerce and the American Arab Chamber of Commerce in the United States national. This trade show was a small gathering, but to attract more than one million visitors for the duration of opening. LINK '

U.S. warns of armed coup on the government On: Wed, 11/23/2011 10:12 More: New York Times
weeks before the withdrawal of U.S. forces, Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, discussed the Iraqi government to continue to fight the extremists, and especially the Iranian-backed militias and threatening - he said - to form a state within the Iraqi state.
Compare Gen. Austin and the threat threat of Hezbollah, the political group in Lebanon, which has close ties with Iran and Syria, which the United States considers terrorist groups within. In a press conference spoke Gen. Austin from posters of new anti-American and that appear central Baghdad, a few miles from the Green Zone, home to the Iraqi government and U.S. embassy compound, "says one posters that show a picture cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr and is trampling on the American flag "No, no America. No, no to lies. "Sadr was one of opposition to the efforts to keep American troops in Iraq after the end of this year to train and advice the Iraqi forces. Those efforts reached an impasse last month when the Iraqi government refused to grant legal immunity to trained Americans, and following the President Obama announced the withdrawal of all troops from Iraq.
a lot of U.S. officials had hoped that the continued U.S. presence provides control over Iran's growing presence and prevent the outbreak of the ongoing ethnic conflict over land and oil in northern Iraq between Arabs and Kurds and others from other groups, and transformation into a civil war.
by Gen. Austin hoped to find Baghdad and Washington a way to keep military trainers, American, especially when the Iraqi forces are unable to participate in a war order. Maj. Gen. Austin "Iraq has the opportunity now to become a role model in the region if he chose continue in the right direction. I think the Iraqis to continue pressing the violent extremist networks. "And the general added that at the time, which is where militants linked to Al Qaeda and the Baathists threat, especially in the north, the Iraqi government at least the worry of militias trained and financially supported by Iran, such as today's promised and the League of the Righteous and the Hezbollah Brigades directly supervised by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, since these groups are still getting weapons from Iran to fight their rivals in Iraq after the U.S. withdrawal. " These elements are trying to form organizations similar to the Lebanese Hezbollah in Iraq: the government within the government, and if left unattended after our withdrawal, they will revert to the Iraqi government. "As expressed by General Austin expressed concern recent threats of militias backed by Iran in the targeting of the mission and the U.S. State Department - made up of 16 thousand people, mostly civilians, and security contractors - and who are scheduled to remain in Iraq after the troops leave. " We expect that the Iraqi security forces as necessary to protect our diplomats. "
in an interview Sunday, said Hussein al-Asadi, an adviser to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, said the government was looking for ways to allow the return of approximately 800 - 1000 coach of the U.S. military to Iraq in the next year, and It is now considering a law to address the issue of immunity for U.S. troops that will be the main topic in discussions between Maliki and Obama during the visit of the first to Washington next month. Assadi says, "We are an army and police and security forces, we prefer to be trained by the Americans because our weapons American made." and may previously that the American officials said that a small percentage of employees will continue to work in Iraq in the Office of Security Cooperation, who reports to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Asadi comments shows the desire of the Iraqi government to extend the American presence. Gen. Austin said he did not know this, and at the same time said that any new negotiations with the Iraqi side "will not begin in earnest, but after that we respect the security agreement" in the evacuation of the forces currently, where there is now less than twenty thousand Americans in eight military bases in Iraq.

Over 15,000 U.S. servicemen to remain in Iraq beyond 2011 deadline
English.news.cn 2011-04-26 16:16:45 FeedbackPrintRSS BAGHDAD, April 26 (Xinhua) -- The Iraqi government is preparing to accept the presence of more than 15,000 U.S. servicemen in Iraq to protect the U.S. interests after the deadline of U.S. troops' pullout by the end of 2011, an Iraqi newspaper reported on Tuesday. "The Iraqi government will arrange a special status that would allow more than 15,000 U.S. servicemen to stay in Iraq beyond the end of this year," al-Mashriq newspaper quoted well-informed sources as saying. It also said that thousands of employees working for foreign security firms will stay in the country to protect the U.S. embassy staff, American civil contractors, engineers and investors. "The full U.S. troops withdrawal will be announced as scheduled (by the end of 2011) and the remaining of thousands of U.S. troops will be attributed to protect the embassy staff, foreign diplomatic corps and international companies in the country," the newspaper said. Maliki is planning to send a delegation headed by Abdul-Haleem al-Zheiri, a leading figure in Maliki's Dawa part, to the neighboring Iran to explain his move and to give assurances to Tehran that the remaining U.S. troops will not be used against Iran, it added. "The delegation will also ask Tehran to put pressure on Moqtada al-Sadr to accept the new arrangements and not to unleash his Mahdi Army militiamen," the paper said. On April 9, anti-U.S. Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr threatened to resume activities of his Mahdi Army militia against the American troops if they stay in the country after the end of 2011. Earlier, Maliki ruled out signing a new security pact with the United States to extend the presence of its troops in the country. "The Prime Minister ruled out possibility for any new security agreement to prolong the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq, because the (current) document of the strategic agreement (SOFA) is clear in this respect," Maliki said in a statement. However, Maliki noted that not signing another security agreement doesn't mean that Iraq will not cooperate and coordinate with the United States in the fields of training and arming Iraqi troops, the statement said. In mid 2010, U.S. troops in Iraq had been reduced to below 50, 000 soldiers. Washington said that the remaining U.S. troops in Iraq are conducting support and training missions. U.S. military forces are to pull out completely from Iraq by the end of 2011 according to the security pact named (Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA) signed late in 2008 between Baghdad and Washington. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2011-04/26/c_13846834.htm

Thomson Reuters launches Islamic Interbank Rate Top officials at the launch of the Islamic Interbank Rate. By ARAB NEWS Published: Nov 23, 2011 13:44 Updated: Nov 23, 2011 13:44 JEDDAH: Thomson Reuters has launched the world’s first Islamic finance benchmark rate, designed to provide an objective and dedicated indicator for the average expected return on Shariah-compliant short-term interbank funding. The Islamic Interbank Benchmark Rate (IIBR), announced at the 18th Annual World Islamic Banking Conference in Bahrain, uses the contributed rates of 16 Islamic banks and the Islamic sections of conventional banks to provide a reliable and much-needed alternative for pricing Islamic instruments to the conventional interest-based benchmarks used for mainstream finance. “The delinking from conventional performance benchmarks started more than a dozen years ago and now we are extremely proud to offer the world’s first Islamic pricing benchmark, the Thomson Reuters Islamic Interbank Benchmark Rate,” said Rushdi Siddiqui, global head of Islamic finance, Thomson Reuters. “We have taken a collaborative approach as industry challenges are best solved by industry players working toward a common objective,” said Siddiqui. “The simplicity and robustness of the new benchmark’s methodology, governance, and transparency, combined with the endorsement of many respected Islamic financial institutions and scholars, will result in a reliable and realistic benchmark that better measures cost of funding for Islamic financial institutions. Together we are taking an important step forward for Islamic finance authenticity,” he said. The benchmark’s ongoing implementation and integrity will be overseen by an Islamic Benchmark Committee of over 20 Islamic finance institutions, chaired by Nasser Saidi, chief economist of the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), and a Shariah Committee consisting of four world-respected Shariah scholars. Nasser Saidi, chair of the Islamic Benchmark Committee and chief economist, Dubai International Financial Center, said the establishment of the IIBR marks an important milestone in the maturation of Islamic money markets by providing an international reference rate for interbank transactions. The economist added: “Conventional money markets have relied on LIBOR, which by definition does not comply with Shariah conventions. Islamic markets will be able to rely on the IIBR and it will become an international reference rate for both conventional and Shariah-compliant transactions. Our aim is to provide an IIBR that is reliable, timely, representative of market conditions, transparent in its construction and accepted as the market reference. Islamic money and financial markets are coming of age and becoming part of the mainstream.” Established in co-operation with the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI), the Bahrain Association of Banks (BAB), Hawkamah Institute for Corporate Governance and a number of major Islamic banks, the IIBR harnesses Thomson Reuters global benchmark fixings infrastructure which is used to compile over 100 fixings around the world. “The Islamic Development Bank has been a founding member of the Islamic finance industry since its inception in 1975 and the launch of this indigenous Islamic benchmark will prove to be a major milestone in the growth and sustainability of the industry,” said Hassan Demirhan, director, Treasury Department, Islamic Development Bank. “As the global standard setter for the Islamic finance industry, the AAOIFI is keen to support initiatives that progress the industry toward standardised approaches around the consensus of its members. Given the support we have received from the industry globally, particularly the main Islamic banks which will contribute toward and utilize the rate, AAOIFI is proud to be associated with this initiative which will certainly be defined as an important milestone for the Islamic finance industry in years to come,” said Khairul Nizam, deputy secretary general, AAOIFI. Rates for Shariah-compliant US dollar (USD) funding will be contributed by the 16-member panel in the morning of each business day to Thomson Reuters systems and will be published daily on Thomson Reuters terminals and feeds at 11.00am (GMT+3). The new benchmark can be used to price a number of Islamic instruments including common overnight to short-term treasury investment and financing instruments such as Murabaha, Wakala and Mudaraba, retail financing instruments such as property and car finance, and sukuk and other Shariah-compliant fixed income instruments. It can also be used for the pricing and benchmarking of corporate finance and investment assets. The $1 trillion Islamic finance industry is currently growing at more than 15 percent per annum. It is frequently the topic of conversation by regulators, international lending agencies, bankers, and asset managers in the G-20 countries as well as the 57 Muslim countries for raising asset-backed or asset-based funds.

Deputy chairman of the ICB Dr Muzher Saleh told AKnews the largest denomination bill in the country is 25,000 dinars and its purchasing power does not exceed $23. "The new currency will include symbols that reflect the diversity of Iraqi sects and civilizations including the Kurdish culture. Iraq needs to support its economy and its currency through the issuance of high value bills." "In the financial transactions in the Iraqi market large amounts of cash are needed and therefore there is difficulty in transferring the money in bags. Sometimes Iraqi banks do not accept deposits because of counting problems for the large amounts of money." "The ICB is seeking to fix the payments system in Iraq and the monetary policy. Soon new currency will be issued and three zeroes will be canceled from the new notes. This procedure will help the payments system and eliminate inflation. Instead of needing large amounts of money to buy a small quantity of goods, we will need small amounts of money to buy more goods."

Saleh added that “in the cash transactions in the Iraqi market, you need to finance the cash (cash) large and therefore difficult to transfer the money in the form of bags in case of large transactions.”
He cautioned that the “Iraqi banks do not accept deposits, sometimes because of the problems and the account number of the large amounts of money.”
The increased benefit of earlier Iraq was seeking to reduce the monetary mass (Cache) from 25 trillion dinars to 15 billion dinars. “Noting that” the central bank fixes the payments system in Iraq and the policy of the monetary authority. “
Saleh pointed out that “it will soon be through the issuance of new currency and the elimination of three zeros from the new currency.”
Salih stressed that “this action is an important part of the reform of currency management and will facilitate the payments system and the elimination of the vestiges of inflation, the former by treating the mass of a strong monetary and easy,” adding that “instead of have to deal with large amounts of money to buy a small quantity of goods, we will deal in a little money to buy a large quantity of goods. “

Explaining, for example, all Iraqi dinars would equal approximately $ added to the Masatertb that enhance the confidence in Iraqi dinars by local and foreign investors alike.

Obscure U.S. delegation allegedly in Iraq for negotiations
21/11/2011 13:38
Baghdad, Nov. 21 (AKnews) - The negotiations between the United States and Iraq over U.S. military trainers staying in Iraq after the withdrawal of American forces at the end of the year, allegedly continue.
Adel Berwari, adviser for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on the Kurdistan Region, said that a delegation from the United States is currently visiting Iraq to discuss current developments, the withdrawal and the bilateral relationship after the withdrawal.
The delegation, that allegedly met with Maliki and President Jalal Talabani, consists of "consultants from Congress and the Supreme Command in the United States," Berwari said. They were allegedly discussing the numbers of U.S. trainers that should stay in Iraq.
AKnews was unable to confirm the existence of such a delegation.
Also, Congress is a very vague description, since it encompasses both chambers of U.S. legislative, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Finally, there is no such thing a "Supreme Command" in the U.S. The Supreme Commander is usually a title for a senior commander in multinational military alliances. During World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower was Supreme Commander during the Battle of Normandy. Today, the term is only used within NATO.
Besides this story, there are indeed U.S. attempts to keep military trainers in Iraq.
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate committee on Tuesday that some U.S. forces will remain in Iraq as trainers but only inside of 10 bases. They will train Iraqis in counterterrorism and using tanks and fighter jets.
Although Dempsey did not give exact numbers, he said that there will be not more than 200 trainers in Iraq. There are currently 24,000 U.S. soldiers in the country. After Dec. 31, there will be roughly 16,000 personnel at the U.S. Embassy.

Bickering Over Oil and Gas Law Hurts Foreign Investment
22/11/2011 02:03:00 By HAWAR ABDULRAZAQ ALI ERBIL,
Iraqi Kurdistan -- Energy experts say that foreign investors are concerned about the bickering over Iraq’s oil and gas law and may be reluctant to invest in the country’s vast natural resources until legislation is passed.
For years, Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region have disagreed on the details of Iraq’s oil and gas law including whether regions can strike deals for natural gas projects.
The Kurdistan Region has its own investment law and the central government still works under laws from Saddam Hussein’s era.
A new row between Baghdad and Erbil started last week following reports that the Kurdish authorities had signed a contract with the American oil giant ExxonMobil, which already has an existing contract with Baghdad.
Jonathan Brown, Kurdistan’s project manager for the Canadian oil company Talisman Energy, which currently works in three different oil fields in Kurdistan, said the lack of clarity regarding Iraq’s oil and gas laws will hinder foreign investment in the region and Iraq.
“It’s a big problem; any company that wants come to Kurdistan or Iraq, the first thing they talk about is the law issue,” he said.
Todd F. Kozel, chairman and CEO of the British oil firm Gulf Keystone Petroleum Co., maintained that oil-related conflicts between Baghdad and Erbil will hurt the industry’s development but remains hopeful that the issues will be resolved.
“Our company has invested millions of dollars in its projects in the Kurdistan region and I believe that KRG and central government will solve the issue, or we would not have invested a lot of money in the region,” he said.
There were reports late last month that Iraqi Prime Minster Nuri al-Maliki and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minster Barham Salih agreed to amend Iraq’s 2007 oil and gas law by December 31.
That law was approved by most of Iraq’s political factions.
In August, Kurdish officials were upset when Iraq’s cabinet hastily passed a new draft of Iraq’s oil and gas law without consulting the Kurds. A previous draft of the law had sat in Parliament since 2007.
Kurdish leaders accused Iraq’s prime minister of becoming authoritarian and creating an “economic dictatorship.”
Natt Arian, a Kurdish investor based in Australia, believes that foreign investors have the right to be concerned about Iraq’s oil and gas law because it needs to protect their business. Arian also said the KRG should do more to attract foreign investment.
“Kurdistan should do more to expose the region to foreigners and give them more information about the situation,” he said. “For example, Australians haven’t got a lot of information about Kurdistan.”

Joey & Vic Discuss why they believe the deal with Shell was delayed 3 days....
November 21, 2011
Iraq to Sign Final Gas Deal With Shell, Mitsubishi on Nov. 27
Iraq will sign a final accord on Nov. 27 with Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Mitsubishi Corp. for a $17 billion project to capture natural gas from fields in the south of the country, according to the Oil Ministry.
The signing was delayed by three days for logistical reasons, Asim Jihad, a ministry spokesman, said by telephone from Baghdad today. The agreement was due to be signed Nov. 24, Deputy Oil Minister Ahmad al-Shamaa said last week.
According to the terms of the 25-year agreement, the government will have a 51 percent stake in the venture known as South Gas Co., while Shell will get 44 percent and Mitsubishi the rest.
South Gas will have a starting capital of $20 million and will help collect more than 2 billion cubic feet (57 million cubic meters) a day from the Rumailah, Zubair and West Qurna fields, Shamaa then said.
Iraq, holder of the fifth-biggest gas reserves in the Middle East, is struggling to restore power capacity after years of conflict and economic sanctions. The captured gas will meet domestic needs and may be exported at a later stage, Hans Nijkamp, Shell’s country chairman for Iraq, said Sept. 29.
Shell, Europe’s largest oil company, has been in talks with the Iraqi government since 2008 to gather gas that’s currently burned off, or flared.
Iraq has signed 15 licenses for the development of energy resources, including three for gas, since 2008, five years after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted the regime of then-President Saddam Hussein. It plans a fourth licensing round of oil and gas exploration rights for March.

Political stability returning to Kurdistan oil industry
Calgary’s WesternZagros heralds recent deals and oil-sharing pact
By Rebecca Penty, Postmedia News November 21, 2011
CALGARY — When Lisa Harriman of WesternZagros Resources Ltd. tours a group of investment analysts around northern Iraq’s Kurdistan region starting Tuesday, she’ll be careful to avoid the landmines.
Despite signs warning of off-road explosives, leftovers from the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, the landmines and other perils in a part of the world deemed politically unstable have the Calgary-based junior energy firm spending $3 million a year on security to protect its operations.
Risks in Kurdistan are “perceived” to be greater than they are, said Harriman — manager of investor relations — on Monday, on the sidelines of a Calgary conference hosted by SEPAC, the Small Explorers and Producers Association of Canada.
“When we go to our well, it’s kind of like going to Medicine Hat,” chimed Greg Stevenson, WesternZagros chief financial officer.
Compared with its early days in Iraq, WesternZagros’ security spending is becoming small potatoes as the Political risk diminishes, prompting larger energy players to descend on Kurdistan.
One of four firms active in the semi-autonomous region six years ago, WesternZagros is now among some 45 energy companies, including majors Repsol YPF, S.A. from Spain and U.S. firms Murphy Oil Corp. and Hess Corp.
Last week, Kurdistan natural resources minister Ashti Hawrami revealed that major ExxonMobil Corp. inked a deal to develop six blocks of land in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan in October.
“Everybody sees that as huge, that Exxon, a big major, has come into Kurdistan,” Harriman said.
Exxon’s entrance was six weeks after ex-BP PLC chief executive Tony Hayward’s Vallares PLC put up $2.1 billion US to acquire Kurdistan’s largest oil producer, Turkish-based Genel Energy PLC.
The Political situation started improving late last year when the Kurds backed an Iraqi national government appointment in December. An oil and gas-sharing pact first drafted in 2007 between Kurdistan and Iraq now anticipated by the end of the year is expected to let oil flow from Kurdistan to other countries, lifting the price per barrel from just over $50 to the global benchmark Brent price — more than $100. The long-standing dispute over how to divide oil revenue meant majors active in Iraq couldn’t drill in the northern region of Kurdistan without penalty, limitations expected to end with the deal closing.
The Exxon development, which raised the ire of the Iraqi government, added a twist. Reuters reported that Baghdad has said any oil deals signed with the Kurdish Regional Government are illegal and has suggested the firm’s contract to develop an oilfield in south Iraq is in jeopardy.
Stevenson predicted mergers and acquisition activity will ramp up as firms look to gain a foothold in Kurdistan, which according to Bloomberg, Kurdistan’s Hawrami said could contain 40 per cent of Iraq’s 115 billion barrels of oil reserves — more than the Gulf of Mexico.
WesternZagros is about a year away from potentially becoming a takeover target, according to Calgary-based analyst Josef Schachter. The company’s highly anticipated Kurdamir-2 (K2) well, being drilled by its operator-partner on one of two Kurdistan blocks for WesternZagros, Calgary’s Talisman Energy Inc., is targeting the Oligocene carbonate reservoir, among the most prolific in Iraq.
“The big home run is what they get at Kurdamir,” Schachter said.
Schachter has a one-year target on the company’s share price of $2.10, far above the closing share price Monday of 72 cents.
WesternZagros, about 20 per cent owned by Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. (TAQA) since a share purchase late last month, reported third quarter financial results Monday, including a net loss of $2 million.
The firm is producing and selling oil in Kurdistan from its Sarqala-1 well, which it expects will produce 5,000 barrels per day before the end of 2011. WesternZagros has more than 3.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent per day of audited prospective reserves, more than half of that crude oil.

Bidens host wounded troops
Cliff Owen/AP - Vice President Biden serves salad to Marine Lance Cpl. William Carpenter, who was wounded by a grenade in Afghanistan, during his annual Thanksgiving dinner for wounded warriors of the U.S. military in Washington, Monday, Nov. 21.
By Greg Jaffe, Published: November 21
Twelve wounded troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, several missing both their legs, were clustered Monday around two long tables at the vice president’s home.
Joe and Jill Biden’s third annual holiday meal for injured military personnel fell on an especially poisonous day of partisan finger-pointing in Washington. A special congressional “supercommittee” admitted that it had failed to cut the deficit by $1.2 trillion.
Vice President Biden did not mention the committee’s collapse. He barely acknowledged the war in Afghanistan or the controversial mission in Iraq, which is drawing to a close next month.
Instead, he spoke briefly about what he said was the country’s most sacred duty.
“We have a lot of obligations as a country,” Biden said. “We have obligations to the young, the old and the infirm. We have only one true sacred obligation, and that is to provide for those of you we send into harm’s way and give you every single, solitary thing that you could possibly need to make the transition back home reasonable and workable. That is the only truly, truly sacred obligation we have.”
To Biden’s right sat Marine Lance Cpl. Stephen Ayhens, 20, who in June lost both legs above the knee when he stepped on a buried bomb in Afghanistan. On Biden’s left was Marine Lance Cpl. William Carpenter, 22, who a year ago survived a blast from a hand grenade.
The dozen troops — 11 wounded in Afghanistan and one in Iraq — were joined by spouses and parents. A fire crackled in the dining room fireplace and glinted off of a crystal chandelier. The troops dined on turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, a fall harvest salad and pumpkin pie.
At a table wedged into the entryway of the vice president’s home, Jill Biden sat with Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Misiewicz, a 23-year-old from La Grange, Ill., near Chicago.
Misiewicz, a former hockey player who came to the dinner with his mother, lost both legs in Afghanistan’s Sangin district just four months ago.
The most exciting part of his day came several hours before he arrived at the vice president’s official home at the Naval Observatory on Monday and slid his wheelchair next to Mrs. Biden. It happened when doctors decided that his left stump had healed enough for him to get cast for a prosthetic leg.
Misiewicz said he will start off with a “shorty” prosthetic device, a smaller version of the leg that is designed to help amputees learn balance. “I’ll finally start walking,” he said. “I’ve been hopping around on one leg for quite a while.”
Before the meal began, the vice president spoke of one of the few issues that unites both Republicans and Democrats in Washington.
“We are absolutely committed — the president and I, and future presidents will be as well — to making sure that every single breakthrough that occurs in medicine and prostheses is available to you the rest of your lives,” Biden said. “So folks, we love you.”

Clever money -- bilingual bills will "eliminate inflation"
21/11/2011 14:48 Baghdad, Nov. 21 (AKnews) - The Iraqi Central Bank (ICB) will produce new denomination bill as well as coins in both Arabic and Kurdish languages. The 50,000 dinar notes will hopefully address the liquidity issue in Iraq, halting inflation, the ICB said on Monday. Deputy chairman of the ICB Dr Muzher Saleh told AKnews the largest denomination bill in the country is 25,000 dinars and its purchasing power does not exceed $23. "The new currency will include symbols that reflect the diversity of Iraqi sects and civilizations including the Kurdish culture. Iraq needs to support its economy and its currency through the issuance of high value bills." "In the financial transactions in the Iraqi market large amounts of cash are needed and therefore there is difficulty in transferring the money in bags. Sometimes Iraqi banks do not accept deposits because of counting problems for the large amounts of money." "The ICB is seeking to fix the payments system in Iraq and the monetary policy. Soon new currency will be issued and three zeroes will be canceled from the new notes. This procedure will help the payments system and eliminate inflation. Instead of needing large amounts of money to buy a small quantity of goods, we will need small amounts of money to buy more goods."

Denied a source in the Iraqi Central Bank Matnaqlth Alketronah some sites about the government’s intention to issue a class of Iraqi currency (50) thousand dinars
The source, who preferred anonymity in an interview (the citizen) that “the Iraqi currency is currently in the process of switching after lifting the three zeroes, and it is not possible to issue a new currency at the present time,” adding, “There was intent in the past to issue the currency of a large class to facilitate the deal, but the idea of lifting the zeros replaced this idea or intention of the Iraqi Central Bank to issue currency of a new category, “stressing that” the plans on the new version after the lifting of zeros take into account the issue of balance and the actual need for the trading currency (Cache), where there will be no less than 12 categories of including a number of mineral groups in addition to the paper, and certainly the last category will contain a large currency to facilitate the transactions as is the case in all countries of the world. “
Regarding the appointment process will raise the yolk between the “central bank ended a prepared full plans for change was submitted to the concerned authorities note that the issue of changing the currency was assigned to the Central Bank by the government which he is not a proposal or project adopted by the Bank and of course the decision of when to hold the process will be the prerogative of the party that adopts the project of any government. “

Obscure U.S. delegation allegedly in Iraq for negotiations
21/11/2011 13:38
Baghdad, Nov. 21 (AKnews) - The negotiations between the United States and Iraq over U.S. military trainers staying in Iraq after the withdrawal of American forces at the end of the year, allegedly continue.
Adel Berwari, adviser for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on the Kurdistan Region, said that a delegation from the United States is currently visiting Iraq to discuss current developments, the withdrawal and the bilateral relationship after the withdrawal.
The delegation, that allegedly met with Maliki and President Jalal Talabani, consists of "consultants from Congress and the Supreme Command in the United States," Berwari said. They were allegedly discussing the numbers of U.S. trainers that should stay in Iraq.
AKnews was unable to confirm the existence of such a delegation.
Also, Congress is a very vague description, since it encompasses both chambers of U.S. legislative, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Finally, there is no such thing a "Supreme Command" in the U.S. The Supreme Commander is usually a title for a senior commander in multinational military alliances. During World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower was Supreme Commander during the Battle of Normandy. Today, the term is only used within NATO.
Besides this story, there are indeed U.S. attempts to keep military trainers in Iraq.
Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate committee on Tuesday that some U.S. forces will remain in Iraq as trainers but only inside of 10 bases. They will train Iraqis in counterterrorism and using tanks and fighter jets.
Although Dempsey did not give exact numbers, he said that there will be not more than 200 trainers in Iraq. There are currently 24,000 U.S. soldiers in the country. After Dec. 31, there will be roughly 16,000 personnel at the U.S. Embassy.

Mutlag asserts importance of protecting, increasing guarantees to investors
21/11/2011 14:56:00

Baghdad (NINA) – Deputy Prime Minister, Salih Al Mutlag, stressed necessity of opening doors in front of investors and businessmen in order to achieve exchanged interest and activate national economy.
He said, during attending Investing Gathering today in the National Investing Commission, “Iraq today faces the activating and encouraging investment mission in different domains and to upgrade the private sector in addition to exploit all human and natural resources in health, education, housing, agriculture, electricity, and environment domains.”
He pointed out that establishing the Investing Commission and the important amendments that the government made on the investment law reflects the keenness on opening doors to investors.
“The legal amendments on the investing law provided additional benefits to the investors like the tax exemption, freedom of transactions, benefits, hiring foreign laborers, and non confiscation or nationalization of projects, a thing that provided additional protection to investment in Iraq,” Mutlag concluded. /End/

Kurdish leaders accused Iraq’s prime minister of creating an “economic dictatorship.”
Bickering Over Oil and Gas Law Hurts Foreign Investment
22/11/2011 02:03:00 By HAWAR ABDULRAZAQ ALI ERBIL,
Iraqi Kurdistan -- Energy experts say that foreign investors are concerned about the bickering over Iraq’s oil and gas law and may be reluctant to invest in the country’s vast natural resources until legislation is passed.
For years, Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region have disagreed on the details of Iraq’s oil and gas law including whether regions can strike deals for natural gas projects.
The Kurdistan Region has its own investment law and the central government still works under laws from Saddam Hussein’s era.
A new row between Baghdad and Erbil started last week following reports that the Kurdish authorities had signed a contract with the American oil giant ExxonMobil, which already has an existing contract with Baghdad.
Jonathan Brown, Kurdistan’s project manager for the Canadian oil company Talisman Energy, which currently works in three different oil fields in Kurdistan, said the lack of clarity regarding Iraq’s oil and gas laws will hinder foreign investment in the region and Iraq.
“It’s a big problem; any company that wants come to Kurdistan or Iraq, the first thing they talk about is the law issue,” he said.
Todd F. Kozel, chairman and CEO of the British oil firm Gulf Keystone Petroleum Co., maintained that oil-related conflicts between Baghdad and Erbil will hurt the industry’s development but remains hopeful that the issues will be resolved.
“Our company has invested millions of dollars in its projects in the Kurdistan region and I believe that KRG and central government will solve the issue, or we would not have invested a lot of money in the region,” he said.
There were reports late last month that Iraqi Prime Minster Nuri al-Maliki and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minster Barham Salih agreed to amend Iraq’s 2007 oil and gas law by December 31.
That law was approved by most of Iraq’s political factions.
In August, Kurdish officials were upset when Iraq’s cabinet hastily passed a new draft of Iraq’s oil and gas law without consulting the Kurds. A previous draft of the law had sat in Parliament since 2007.
Kurdish leaders accused Iraq’s prime minister of becoming authoritarian and creating an “economic dictatorship.”
Natt Arian, a Kurdish investor based in Australia, believes that foreign investors have the right to be concerned about Iraq’s oil and gas law because it needs to protect their business. Arian also said the KRG should do more to attract foreign investment.
“Kurdistan should do more to expose the region to foreigners and give them more information about the situation,” he said. “For example, Australians haven’t got a lot of information about Kurdistan.”

Joey & Vic Discuss why they believe the deal with Shell was delayed 3 days....
November 21, 2011
Iraq to Sign Final Gas Deal With Shell, Mitsubishi on Nov. 27
Iraq will sign a final accord on Nov. 27 with Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Mitsubishi Corp. for a $17 billion project to capture natural gas from fields in the south of the country, according to the Oil Ministry.
The signing was delayed by three days for logistical reasons, Asim Jihad, a ministry spokesman, said by telephone from Baghdad today. The agreement was due to be signed Nov. 24, Deputy Oil Minister Ahmad al-Shamaa said last week.
According to the terms of the 25-year agreement, the government will have a 51 percent stake in the venture known as South Gas Co., while Shell will get 44 percent and Mitsubishi the rest.
South Gas will have a starting capital of $20 million and will help collect more than 2 billion cubic feet (57 million cubic meters) a day from the Rumailah, Zubair and West Qurna fields, Shamaa then said.
Iraq, holder of the fifth-biggest gas reserves in the Middle East, is struggling to restore power capacity after years of conflict and economic sanctions. The captured gas will meet domestic needs and may be exported at a later stage, Hans Nijkamp, Shell’s country chairman for Iraq, said Sept. 29.
Shell, Europe’s largest oil company, has been in talks with the Iraqi government since 2008 to gather gas that’s currently burned off, or flared.
Iraq has signed 15 licenses for the development of energy resources, including three for gas, since 2008, five years after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted the regime of then-President Saddam Hussein. It plans a fourth licensing round of oil and gas exploration rights for March.

Political stability returning to Kurdistan oil industry
Calgary’s WesternZagros heralds recent deals and oil-sharing pact
By Rebecca Penty, Postmedia News November 21, 2011
CALGARY — When Lisa Harriman of WesternZagros Resources Ltd. tours a group of investment analysts around northern Iraq’s Kurdistan region starting Tuesday, she’ll be careful to avoid the landmines.
Despite signs warning of off-road explosives, leftovers from the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, the landmines and other perils in a part of the world deemed politically unstable have the Calgary-based junior energy firm spending $3 million a year on security to protect its operations.
Risks in Kurdistan are “perceived” to be greater than they are, said Harriman — manager of investor relations — on Monday, on the sidelines of a Calgary conference hosted by SEPAC, the Small Explorers and Producers Association of Canada.
“When we go to our well, it’s kind of like going to Medicine Hat,” chimed Greg Stevenson, WesternZagros chief financial officer.
Compared with its early days in Iraq, WesternZagros’ security spending is becoming small potatoes as the Political risk diminishes, prompting larger energy players to descend on Kurdistan.
One of four firms active in the semi-autonomous region six years ago, WesternZagros is now among some 45 energy companies, including majors Repsol YPF, S.A. from Spain and U.S. firms Murphy Oil Corp. and Hess Corp.
Last week, Kurdistan natural resources minister Ashti Hawrami revealed that major ExxonMobil Corp. inked a deal to develop six blocks of land in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan in October.
“Everybody sees that as huge, that Exxon, a big major, has come into Kurdistan,” Harriman said.
Exxon’s entrance was six weeks after ex-BP PLC chief executive Tony Hayward’s Vallares PLC put up $2.1 billion US to acquire Kurdistan’s largest oil producer, Turkish-based Genel Energy PLC.
The Political situation started improving late last year when the Kurds backed an Iraqi national government appointment in December. An oil and gas-sharing pact first drafted in 2007 between Kurdistan and Iraq now anticipated by the end of the year is expected to let oil flow from Kurdistan to other countries, lifting the price per barrel from just over $50 to the global benchmark Brent price — more than $100. The long-standing dispute over how to divide oil revenue meant majors active in Iraq couldn’t drill in the northern region of Kurdistan without penalty, limitations expected to end with the deal closing.
The Exxon development, which raised the ire of the Iraqi government, added a twist. Reuters reported that Baghdad has said any oil deals signed with the Kurdish Regional Government are illegal and has suggested the firm’s contract to develop an oilfield in south Iraq is in jeopardy.
Stevenson predicted mergers and acquisition activity will ramp up as firms look to gain a foothold in Kurdistan, which according to Bloomberg, Kurdistan’s Hawrami said could contain 40 per cent of Iraq’s 115 billion barrels of oil reserves — more than the Gulf of Mexico.
WesternZagros is about a year away from potentially becoming a takeover target, according to Calgary-based analyst Josef Schachter. The company’s highly anticipated Kurdamir-2 (K2) well, being drilled by its operator-partner on one of two Kurdistan blocks for WesternZagros, Calgary’s Talisman Energy Inc., is targeting the Oligocene carbonate reservoir, among the most prolific in Iraq.
“The big home run is what they get at Kurdamir,” Schachter said.
Schachter has a one-year target on the company’s share price of $2.10, far above the closing share price Monday of 72 cents.
WesternZagros, about 20 per cent owned by Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. (TAQA) since a share purchase late last month, reported third quarter financial results Monday, including a net loss of $2 million.
The firm is producing and selling oil in Kurdistan from its Sarqala-1 well, which it expects will produce 5,000 barrels per day before the end of 2011. WesternZagros has more than 3.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent per day of audited prospective reserves, more than half of that crude oil.

Bidens host wounded troops
Cliff Owen/AP - Vice President Biden serves salad to Marine Lance Cpl. William Carpenter, who was wounded by a grenade in Afghanistan, during his annual Thanksgiving dinner for wounded warriors of the U.S. military in Washington, Monday, Nov. 21.
By Greg Jaffe, Published: November 21
Twelve wounded troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, several missing both their legs, were clustered Monday around two long tables at the vice president’s home.
Joe and Jill Biden’s third annual holiday meal for injured military personnel fell on an especially poisonous day of partisan finger-pointing in Washington. A special congressional “supercommittee” admitted that it had failed to cut the deficit by $1.2 trillion.
Vice President Biden did not mention the committee’s collapse. He barely acknowledged the war in Afghanistan or the controversial mission in Iraq, which is drawing to a close next month.
Instead, he spoke briefly about what he said was the country’s most sacred duty.
“We have a lot of obligations as a country,” Biden said. “We have obligations to the young, the old and the infirm. We have only one true sacred obligation, and that is to provide for those of you we send into harm’s way and give you every single, solitary thing that you could possibly need to make the transition back home reasonable and workable. That is the only truly, truly sacred obligation we have.”
To Biden’s right sat Marine Lance Cpl. Stephen Ayhens, 20, who in June lost both legs above the knee when he stepped on a buried bomb in Afghanistan. On Biden’s left was Marine Lance Cpl. William Carpenter, 22, who a year ago survived a blast from a hand grenade.
The dozen troops — 11 wounded in Afghanistan and one in Iraq — were joined by spouses and parents. A fire crackled in the dining room fireplace and glinted off of a crystal chandelier. The troops dined on turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, a fall harvest salad and pumpkin pie.
At a table wedged into the entryway of the vice president’s home, Jill Biden sat with Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Misiewicz, a 23-year-old from La Grange, Ill., near Chicago.
Misiewicz, a former hockey player who came to the dinner with his mother, lost both legs in Afghanistan’s Sangin district just four months ago.
The most exciting part of his day came several hours before he arrived at the vice president’s official home at the Naval Observatory on Monday and slid his wheelchair next to Mrs. Biden. It happened when doctors decided that his left stump had healed enough for him to get cast for a prosthetic leg.
Misiewicz said he will start off with a “shorty” prosthetic device, a smaller version of the leg that is designed to help amputees learn balance. “I’ll finally start walking,” he said. “I’ve been hopping around on one leg for quite a while.”
Before the meal began, the vice president spoke of one of the few issues that unites both Republicans and Democrats in Washington.
“We are absolutely committed — the president and I, and future presidents will be as well — to making sure that every single breakthrough that occurs in medicine and prostheses is available to you the rest of your lives,” Biden said. “So folks, we love you.”

Worldview: More tales of Iraqis who fear betrayal by U.S.
They stepped up to help American troops and civilians but now face death as "collaborators." We have to help them get their visas.
November 7, 2011 – Los Angeles Times [article by Tariq]
U.S. pullout leaves Iraqi interpreters out on limb
Iraqis who risked their lives to work for the U.S. military no longer have the protection of living on base. They want to move to the U.S., but red tape is holding up visas.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Synopsis of the above articles:
The U.S. bases in Iraq are closing, troops are coming home, and these Iraqi's now fear for their lives. Thousands of Iraqi's who have helped the American forces by working side by side as interpreter's are still waiting to relocate and enter the United States... In the Iraqi culture, if you worked for the Americans you are out-casted and considered an infiltrator and traitor… and to top it all off the radical Sunni and Shiite militia groups have publicly pledged to kill Iraqis who worked for Americans.
Congress established a Special Immigrant Visa program (SIV) in 2008 that was supposed to expedite immigration to U.S., but the program seems to have come to a standstill for security reasons, so they say, despite the fact that these particular Iraqi’s had already undergone extensive and exhaustive security checks in order to work on U.S. bases to begin with.
Tariq, our 26 year old special guest tonight, has received awards, recommendations from the an array of American employers including the Brigadier General heading his unit and several other senior officers in command… but despite Tariq’s faithful service, recommendations and job well done, he was told in June that his special visa is on “administrative hold” for 8 to 12 months because of these new security procedures… End result: This “so-called” administrative hold” has now placed Tariq in harm’s way leaving him open to assassination.
Less than 3,500 of these special immigration visas, out of the 25,000 available, have been issued, and many of those issued now face long delays or have been told their visas are canceled.
A few weeks ago Tariq lost his job as a Military translator who worked with a U.S. combat unit and with a U.S. contracting unit that checks on Iraqi subcontractors. Tariq has joined us here tonight from his home to update and inform us on the situation for the Iraqi interpreter's and sub-contractors and how their futures are not looking optimistic at all.
The I.Q.D. Team, Ltd. and all our listeners welcome Tariq and thank you for joining us in our forum tonight...
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Tariq, you were supposed to be laid off in Aug., and due to your proven credibility and relationship with your unit, especially your Lieutenant Cornel, you were kept on until the month of October. Your Lieutenant Cornel contacted the Embassy, State Dept. and so on, in attempt to expedite your visa … What was the response you received?
(Tariq responds here)
2. Can you tell us what was told to you by an Iraqi army private the last time you were escorted out of your base?
(Tariq responds here)
3. You used to live on the Camp Victory U.S. Military Base while working as a Military interpreter… this is where you were at your safest… and now, am I correct in stating that you are currently home behind locked doors to where it has not been safe enough for you to step out of?
(Tariq responds here)
4. Can you tell us why you took this job on and then can you give us a vision of what your everyday life like now after the fact?
(Tariq responds here)
5. I know you are aware that both Presidents Bush and Obama have stated the job as an interpreter in Iraq holds specific criteria since interpreter’s work directly with the Military and support their operations. So don’t you feel that you deserve to be taken as priority in entering the U.S.?
(Tariq responds here)
6. What do you want to ask the American’s and can you tell us how we can help?
(Tariq responds here)
7. I thank you so much for being here and bringing all this information to our awareness… I know of the risk you are taking in telling us your story.
(Tariq responds here)
8. Please know that The I.Q.D. Team will do whatever is in our power to do to help make some noise in hopes that positive actions come quickly to you and mostly so that your story has a happy ending. I for one want to thank you for your services and wish you nothing but the best along with much Peace, Love & Light
(Tariq responds here)
The I.Q.D. TEAM Asks Questions and/or adds closing comments here.
How to help Tariq and those in the same position as he:
1. Contact your senator or representative. Send letters to Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Get your churches, your veterans' groups, and any group you can muster to send letters, too.
Ask why we don't have a transparent SIV process that expedites visas for those in danger, and why we haven't hired enough staff to process their applications.
You may think such letters won't help. But six senators, including John Kerry (D., Mass.) and Republican Richard Lugar (R., Ind.), have just sent a letter to Homeland Security requesting answers about why the SIVs are stalled. They should be urged to press the issue.
2. Fund groups such as IRAP [Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project], which provides volunteer U.S. lawyers to help SIV applicants. The Philadelphia law firm Reed Smith L.L.P. and students at the University of Pennsylvania Law School are helping with some of these cases.
Learn more about IRAP [Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project] here:

3. If you know anyone in the media [news, radio, paper, magazine] please contact them and ask if they can help spread this information.
4. Tariq also suggests that you contact Becca Heller from IRAP for more suggestions on how to help. E-mail: becca.heller@gmail.com
Many heartfelt thanks for any and all help you can give!
Peace, Love and Light...

Congress established a Special Immigrant Visa program (SIV) in 2008 that was supposed to expedite immigration to U.S., but the program seems to have come to a standstill for security reasons, so they say, despite the fact that these particular Iraqi’s had already undergone extensive and exhaustive security checks in order to work on U.S. bases to begin with.
Tariq, our 26 year old special guest tonight, has received awards, recommendations from the an array of American employers including the Brigadier General heading his unit and several other senior officers in command… but despite Tariq’s faithful service, recommendations and job well done, he was told in June that his special visa is on “administrative hold” for 8 to 12 months because of these new security procedures… End result: This “so-called” administrative hold” has now placed Tariq in harm’s way leaving him open to assassination.
Less than 3,500 of these special immigration visas, out of the 25,000 available, have been issued, and many of those issued now face long delays or have been told their visas are canceled.
A few weeks ago Tariq lost his job as a Military translator who worked with a U.S. combat unit and with a U.S. contracting unit that checks on Iraqi subcontractors. Tariq has joined us here tonight from his home to update and inform us on the situation for the Iraqi interpreter's and sub-contractors and how their futures are not looking optimistic at all.
The I.Q.D. Team, Ltd. and all our listeners welcome Tariq and thank you for joining us in our forum tonight...
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Tariq, you were supposed to be laid off in Aug., and due to your proven credibility and relationship with your unit, especially your Lieutenant Cornel, you were kept on until the month of October. Your Lieutenant Cornel contacted the Embassy, State Dept. and so on, in attempt to expedite your visa … What was the response you received?
(Tariq responds here)
2. Can you tell us what was told to you by an Iraqi army private the last time you were escorted out of your base?
(Tariq responds here)
3. You used to live on the Camp Victory U.S. Military Base while working as a Military interpreter… this is where you were at your safest… and now, am I correct in stating that you are currently home behind locked doors to where it has not been safe enough for you to step out of?
(Tariq responds here)
4. Can you tell us why you took this job on and then can you give us a vision of what your everyday life like now after the fact?
(Tariq responds here)
5. I know you are aware that both Presidents Bush and Obama have stated the job as an interpreter in Iraq holds specific criteria since interpreter’s work directly with the Military and support their operations. So don’t you feel that you deserve to be taken as priority in entering the U.S.?
(Tariq responds here)
6. What do you want to ask the American’s and can you tell us how we can help?
(Tariq responds here)
7. I thank you so much for being here and bringing all this information to our awareness… I know of the risk you are taking in telling us your story.
(Tariq responds here)
8. Please know that The I.Q.D. Team will do whatever is in our power to do to help make some noise in hopes that positive actions come quickly to you and mostly so that your story has a happy ending. I for one want to thank you for your services and wish you nothing but the best along with much Peace, Love & Light
(Tariq responds here)
The I.Q.D. TEAM Asks Questions and/or adds closing comments here.
How to help Tariq and those in the same position as he:
1. Contact your senator or representative. Send letters to Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Get your churches, your veterans' groups, and any group you can muster to send letters, too.
Ask why we don't have a transparent SIV process that expedites visas for those in danger, and why we haven't hired enough staff to process their applications.
You may think such letters won't help. But six senators, including John Kerry (D., Mass.) and Republican Richard Lugar (R., Ind.), have just sent a letter to Homeland Security requesting answers about why the SIVs are stalled. They should be urged to press the issue.
2. Fund groups such as IRAP [Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project], which provides volunteer U.S. lawyers to help SIV applicants. The Philadelphia law firm Reed Smith L.L.P. and students at the University of Pennsylvania Law School are helping with some of these cases.
Learn more about IRAP [Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project] here:

3. If you know anyone in the media [news, radio, paper, magazine] please contact them and ask if they can help spread this information.
4. Tariq also suggests that you contact Becca Heller from IRAP for more suggestions on how to help. E-mail: becca.heller@gmail.com
Many heartfelt thanks for any and all help you can give!
Peace, Love and Light...

The Latest Iraq Dinar & RV News:
JOEY: THE NEWS WAS SO GOOD TODAY.....WOW....I CALLED DEB & VIC SHARING THE GREAT NEWS ALL DAY LONG
I WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN ALL DAY LONG...GOING TO SHARE SOME GREAT NEWS TONIGHT....WE DESERVE TO HEAR SOME
HAPPY NEWS....NEWS WAS SO VERY HAPPY...
I TOLD DEBBIE TODAY THAT I BELIEVE THIS ARTICLE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLE OF THE YEAR
DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS ARTICLE IS? MALIKI IS COMING TO OUR COUNTRY TO ADDRESS OUR CONGRESS....WHAT DO YOU THINK
HE IS GOING TO SAY? THIS IS HIS STATE OF THE UNION OF IRAQ TO OUR US GOVT...HE WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE SFA BETWEEN HIM AND OUR COUNTRY - COMING HERE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT TO BEGIN A BRAND NEW PHASE BETWEEN IRAQ & THE UNITED STATES,,,
I AM STILL SHAKING AFTER READING THIS ARTICLE.......
Maliki's speech cast in Congress (Democratic victory) instead of Obama?!
Palm - While continuing the U.S. military to complete its plans to withdraw the total from Iraq, where he is expected to leave the 33 thousand troops by the end of this year, are still questions about U.S. policy in Iraq and its consequences and carry pages of opinion pieces in U.S. newspapers and different points of view every day about the next phase of relations, Iraq - the U.S., but will be on the Iraqi leaders and the Americans to clarify these relationships and this is what will look to President Barack Obama when he meets Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki at the White House next month.
He announced the White House spokesman Jay Carney yesterday that President Obama looks forward to welcoming Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki at the White House on 12 December, pointing out that "The two leaders will hold talks on deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership between the United States and Iraq, adding that the president appreciates the sacrifices and achievements of each of the served in Iraq .. which allowed the arrival of this moment, full of promises for American friendship - a permanent Iraqi.
It will be Maliki's visit a chance for the Obama administration to demonstrate its commitment to Iraq through the work on "Strategic Framework Agreement" between the two countries and the expansion of ties outside the military sphere between the two countries will also be important visit to deny allegations that the United States is no longer committed to the stability of Iraq or leave the country to the influence of Saudi.
Says author and political analyst Ammar al-Baghdadi al-Maliki and the president is no other than reap the fruits of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, even though the combined political forces wanted to (intolerance) Altdid issue or non-extension .. Immunity or Allahsana for trainers Brass Prime Minister.
Baghdadi said in a statement media: that the state of strife political dominant on the Iraqi scene and behind the non-extension of U.S. forces or granting immunity to trained Americans, even though the Iraqi political forces, almost brings the country's need for the extension, in all respects, especially in terms of security, but not openly so only in their respective boards, and when these blocks of wills throw the ball in the court of the Prime Minister, according to al-Baghdadi, had no choice but to solicit the opinion of the last leaders of the blocks was a meeting at the home of President Jalal Talabani.
It is likely that al-Baghdadi has Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's enthusiastic reception, and unprecedented by President Obama, and expected to deliver a Maliki after a meeting with President Obama's important speech in Congress with a Republican majority wishing for an extension of U.S. forces, could be considered speech (Democrats insist) behalf.
It is noteworthy that al-Baghdadi serious systematic withdrawal of U.S. forces from bases in Iraq towards the Persian Gulf, is a great victory for the main Obama and Maliki, stressing that the orderly withdrawal of the order will enable Obama a lot of his papers in preparation for a second term for the Democrats.
In the meantime, he defended a former member of U.S. National Security Council Brett Macgork for Obama's policy in an article published by the newspaper "Washington Post" yesterday, saying: If we as things correctly, this new phase may be more important than the withdrawal of U.S. forces, adding that this is not the end but the beginning in Iraq, "which will allow normal relations and integrated between the two countries.
However, the analyst rightist Charles Krathomr He said that Obama "failed" in negotiations with the Iraqis to keep U.S. troops in Iraq said in an opinion piece published that Obama failed bought a "diplomatic" to make the Iraqi government is willing to keep U.S. forces, which may result in our loss of Iraq and reflects the view Krathomr opinion of many Republicans and supporters of the war already in Iraq, that the failure to keep U.S. troops in Iraq has meant less U.S. influence in Baghdad, or even the region.
Without doubt, the Obama's decision to withdraw troops from Iraq was based in part on calculations in preparation for the presidential elections next year, especially as it promised to complete the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country. However, the Iraqi position that refuses to grant American soldiers immunity was fundamental in the end not to keep military forces after the expiration of the Convention "put American troops" in Iraq at the end of this year, which included immunity for U.S. forces.
Of course, the Iranian role in Iraq of the most prominent issues of concern to Americans in the evaluation of relations, Iraq - U.S. and this is confirmed by the Republicans, has made 10 members of the Senate Republicans, led by senior member of the Armed Services Committee with the Council, John McCain, sent a letter demanding by asking questions Obama about his decision and considered members of the Senate that the withdrawal from Iraq would pronounce our enemies in the Middle East, especially the Iranian regime, a strategic victory.
But administration officials do not consider the decision a victory for the neighboring countries, said an official at the State Department's "Middle East" that the Iraqis have proven that they do not want to interfere with Iran in their affairs, even if relations with Iran good, adding there is no vacuum in Iraq because the Iraqis themselves. fill the political, military, and with his part, the writer for the magazine "Time" that the invasion of Iraq, not to his departure, the form of "gift" to the neighboring countries.
Reflected the political views on the perceptions of the American people about Iraq and the survey shows "Gallop" institute this week that 75 percent of Americans support Obama's decision to withdraw from Iraq, while opposed by 21 per cent and the poll showed that 96 percent of Democrats support withdrawal from Iraq by this year, while 77 percent of independents support this policy but it is interesting that only 43 percent of Republicans support the withdrawal, although the former U.S. President George W. Bush, a Republican who signed this Agreement. Over 52 per cent of the Republican respondents their opposition to the withdrawal from Iraq.
He warned executive director of the Institute of Strategic and International Studies in the United States Andrew Barracliti, the misrepresentation of the consequences of ending the war in Iraq, especially in regards to Iraq and said: You must give the Iraqis their right, to self-determination based on the internal politics of Iraq and added that the failure to reach agreement on an extension the survival of U.S. forces in Iraq resulted from Baghdad, not Washington, Iraq now has the freedom and has the options.

Iraq projects may push oil output to 12.5m bpd
Four refineries will be built at cost of $23b
By Himendra Mohan Kumar,
Abu Dhabi: Iraq's oil production may rise to more than 12.5 million barrels a day (bpd) from about 2.4 million bpd by 2017 if things proceed as per plan, Iraq-based Rabee Securities said in a research report.
"This growth in oil production will depend on the speed of the investments," the report said.
"Nobody believes Iraq would stick to those targets. However, of the new crude oil production cap-acity coming on stream in the next few years, nearly half of it will come from Iraq. The question is how much more can Iraq produce," Kate Dourian, Middle East editor for Platts, a global energy information provider, told Gulf News.
Iraq, with its central location, is strategically located in the Middle East and shares its borders with six countries, most of which are experiencing rapid growth and/or have significant cash to invest.
Last year Iraq announced its new estimate of national crude oil reserves at 143.1 billion barrels, which is 24 per cent higher than the previous estimate of 115 billion barrels in 2001.

JOEY: Seems there was a negative article about Rafidian and Rasheed Banks.....they didnt step up and they didnt do what they needed to...
I remember reading an article back in August the figures were 80% now this article says 86%....
and of course they could not reach the stage of development because of laws that strangled the Iraqi economy...
I thought that statement was interesting...since we have followed the guillitone patented process, IFC & US Aid for years
dont believe everything you hear guys...
Shabibi gave them 3 years to June 30, 2013 to work on that and if you are at 85% of capacity.....so if you have people saying we can not go ahead and RV...you are wrong!
CBI: banks, Rafidain and Rasheed were not able to break into the global market
The deputy governor of the Central Bank of the appearance of Mohammed Saleh told the Kurdish news agency (Rn) that "the Rafidain and Rasheed were not able to enter the banking market in the world because of the reliance on marginally financial management systems old."

JOEY: GREAT STUFF FROM THE GOVERNMENT TOO....
KRG President: We will not accept the return of oil policy, the central
11/8/2011 | (Voice of Iraq) - Add comments - Erbil: Shirzad Shaikhani - Middle East in the context of his current visit to the United States participated Barham Saleh, President of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq in the Fourth Conference of the Research Foundation for Africa and the Middle East, the U.S. held in Washington under the banner of «of history to the future», and delivered a speech at the conference in which he spoke on the developments in the region and its repercussions on the political and security situations in Iraq, stressing that «the region is experiencing shifts and changes rapidly, and is moving towards a new phase surrounded by a lot of mystery, but what is clear is that the peoples of the region no longer accept dictatorships, corruption and violation of their human rights legitimate, and the need for better standards of living, as well as achieving individual freedoms and public, so it can be seen This is the beginning of a new phase in the political life of the region in general ». and on the implications of these developments on Iraq, Saleh said: «Iraq achieved Great achievements have not been achieved easily, however, there are a lot of popular demands, which is supposed Iraqi government be met by the Iraqis, and therefore can say that we have many tasks and complex to get to the consolidation of democracy and political stability, and these tasks achieved only through true national partnership and articles of the Constitution , and we believe that the implementation of Article 140 relating to normalization of the situation of the disputed areas, and the issuance of a new law on oil and gas can put a strong foundation to work together to serve the Iraqi people ». And on the implications of U.S. withdrawal by the end of this year, Saleh said: «You must be the end stage of a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq beginning of a new phase of other political cooperation, diplomatic and security situation between Iraq and America, to fighting both the battle of consolidation of democratic life and the human rights and freedoms, and secure a better future for Iraqis and that the Iraqi government at the level of people's demands to achieve the desired change in the political life of Iraq ». In the same context and in a special interview with Radio «NPR» U.S. spoke in favor of the conflict between his government and the central government over oil policy and said: «Iraq's constitution allows We as a government of the Territory to take advantage of the fields and the newly discovered oil wells, and from this point we started to work on the development of oil infrastructure in the region, and on this basis let international companies to help us in the exploitation of this wealth and extraction. Yes, there are differences between us and the federal government, and specifically with the Iraqi Oil Ministry, but recently we came up with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to agree on a draft law of oil and gas will be submitted before the end of this year to the Iraqi parliament for approval, and there is an important fact must be alert to it, namely We produce oil now and we export via pipelines of Iraq, and proceeds back to the Iraqi treasury and distributed to all Iraqis, so we need a law that defines the entire process, and ultimately the time management of oil wealth by the central authority has ended, do not return anymore to the oil policy central ». and on the perceptions of the situation in Iraq after the withdrawal phase the U.S., Saleh said: «We are concerned about this situation, Valdvaat air and ground forces to Iraq is still weak and below the level, a week ago I was in Baghdad and talked to my colleagues in the federal government on this subject, and there was a controversy widely on the issue of survival or the departure of U.S. troops. We in Kurdistan, we see the need to keep part of those forces to support us in overcoming our problems of security, but our Iraqi brothers on the other side were thinking differently, and therefore the Iraqi and U.S. governments have reached the conviction to respect the provisions of the security agreement signed in 2008, and ending U.S. military presence in Iraq , and in any case I believe that Iraq still needs the cooperation of America in this area, and on the Iraqi political leadership to assume their responsibilities and seek to fill the vacuum it will have to withdraw the U.S. military ». Asked if he was worried about the appearance of the features of Saddam sectarian or ethnic lines in Iraq After the U.S. withdrawal, said the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government: «Of course I'm concerned, life in Iraq and the Middle East in general always make you worried. After all, the current climate in Iraq is in itself a challenge for political leaders, and we are ready for him, but I hope to feel all the other Iraqi political forces to the extent of the need of unity and cooperation to face the coming challenges of the future ».

We in Kurdistan, we see the need to keep part of those forces to support us in overcoming our problems of security, but our Iraqi brothers on the other side were thinking differently, and therefore the Iraqi and U.S. governments have reached to the conclusion respect the provisions of the security agreement signed in 2008, and ending U.S. military presence in Iraq, and in any case I believe that Iraq still needs the cooperation of America in this area, and on the Iraqi political leadership to assume their responsibilities and seek to fill the vacuum it will have an American military withdrawal. "
Asked if he was worried about the appearance of the features of Saddam sectarian or ethnic lines in Iraq after U.S. withdrawal, said the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, "Of course I'm concerned, life in Iraq and the Middle East in general make you a permanent concern. After all, the current climate in Iraq is in itself a challenge for political leaders, and we are ready for him, but I hope to feel all the other Iraqi political forces to the extent of the need of unity and cooperation to meet the future challenges ahead.

I WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN ALL DAY LONG...GOING TO SHARE SOME GREAT NEWS TONIGHT....WE DESERVE TO HEAR SOME
HAPPY NEWS....NEWS WAS SO VERY HAPPY...
I TOLD DEBBIE TODAY THAT I BELIEVE THIS ARTICLE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLE OF THE YEAR
DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS ARTICLE IS? MALIKI IS COMING TO OUR COUNTRY TO ADDRESS OUR CONGRESS....WHAT DO YOU THINK
HE IS GOING TO SAY? THIS IS HIS STATE OF THE UNION OF IRAQ TO OUR US GOVT...HE WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE SFA BETWEEN HIM AND OUR COUNTRY - COMING HERE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT TO BEGIN A BRAND NEW PHASE BETWEEN IRAQ & THE UNITED STATES,,,
I AM STILL SHAKING AFTER READING THIS ARTICLE.......
Maliki's speech cast in Congress (Democratic victory) instead of Obama?!
Palm - While continuing the U.S. military to complete its plans to withdraw the total from Iraq, where he is expected to leave the 33 thousand troops by the end of this year, are still questions about U.S. policy in Iraq and its consequences and carry pages of opinion pieces in U.S. newspapers and different points of view every day about the next phase of relations, Iraq - the U.S., but will be on the Iraqi leaders and the Americans to clarify these relationships and this is what will look to President Barack Obama when he meets Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki at the White House next month.
He announced the White House spokesman Jay Carney yesterday that President Obama looks forward to welcoming Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki at the White House on 12 December, pointing out that "The two leaders will hold talks on deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership between the United States and Iraq, adding that the president appreciates the sacrifices and achievements of each of the served in Iraq .. which allowed the arrival of this moment, full of promises for American friendship - a permanent Iraqi.
It will be Maliki's visit a chance for the Obama administration to demonstrate its commitment to Iraq through the work on "Strategic Framework Agreement" between the two countries and the expansion of ties outside the military sphere between the two countries will also be important visit to deny allegations that the United States is no longer committed to the stability of Iraq or leave the country to the influence of Saudi.
Says author and political analyst Ammar al-Baghdadi al-Maliki and the president is no other than reap the fruits of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, even though the combined political forces wanted to (intolerance) Altdid issue or non-extension .. Immunity or Allahsana for trainers Brass Prime Minister.
Baghdadi said in a statement media: that the state of strife political dominant on the Iraqi scene and behind the non-extension of U.S. forces or granting immunity to trained Americans, even though the Iraqi political forces, almost brings the country's need for the extension, in all respects, especially in terms of security, but not openly so only in their respective boards, and when these blocks of wills throw the ball in the court of the Prime Minister, according to al-Baghdadi, had no choice but to solicit the opinion of the last leaders of the blocks was a meeting at the home of President Jalal Talabani.
It is likely that al-Baghdadi has Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's enthusiastic reception, and unprecedented by President Obama, and expected to deliver a Maliki after a meeting with President Obama's important speech in Congress with a Republican majority wishing for an extension of U.S. forces, could be considered speech (Democrats insist) behalf.
It is noteworthy that al-Baghdadi serious systematic withdrawal of U.S. forces from bases in Iraq towards the Persian Gulf, is a great victory for the main Obama and Maliki, stressing that the orderly withdrawal of the order will enable Obama a lot of his papers in preparation for a second term for the Democrats.
In the meantime, he defended a former member of U.S. National Security Council Brett Macgork for Obama's policy in an article published by the newspaper "Washington Post" yesterday, saying: If we as things correctly, this new phase may be more important than the withdrawal of U.S. forces, adding that this is not the end but the beginning in Iraq, "which will allow normal relations and integrated between the two countries.
However, the analyst rightist Charles Krathomr He said that Obama "failed" in negotiations with the Iraqis to keep U.S. troops in Iraq said in an opinion piece published that Obama failed bought a "diplomatic" to make the Iraqi government is willing to keep U.S. forces, which may result in our loss of Iraq and reflects the view Krathomr opinion of many Republicans and supporters of the war already in Iraq, that the failure to keep U.S. troops in Iraq has meant less U.S. influence in Baghdad, or even the region.
Without doubt, the Obama's decision to withdraw troops from Iraq was based in part on calculations in preparation for the presidential elections next year, especially as it promised to complete the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country. However, the Iraqi position that refuses to grant American soldiers immunity was fundamental in the end not to keep military forces after the expiration of the Convention "put American troops" in Iraq at the end of this year, which included immunity for U.S. forces.
Of course, the Iranian role in Iraq of the most prominent issues of concern to Americans in the evaluation of relations, Iraq - U.S. and this is confirmed by the Republicans, has made 10 members of the Senate Republicans, led by senior member of the Armed Services Committee with the Council, John McCain, sent a letter demanding by asking questions Obama about his decision and considered members of the Senate that the withdrawal from Iraq would pronounce our enemies in the Middle East, especially the Iranian regime, a strategic victory.
But administration officials do not consider the decision a victory for the neighboring countries, said an official at the State Department's "Middle East" that the Iraqis have proven that they do not want to interfere with Iran in their affairs, even if relations with Iran good, adding there is no vacuum in Iraq because the Iraqis themselves. fill the political, military, and with his part, the writer for the magazine "Time" that the invasion of Iraq, not to his departure, the form of "gift" to the neighboring countries.
Reflected the political views on the perceptions of the American people about Iraq and the survey shows "Gallop" institute this week that 75 percent of Americans support Obama's decision to withdraw from Iraq, while opposed by 21 per cent and the poll showed that 96 percent of Democrats support withdrawal from Iraq by this year, while 77 percent of independents support this policy but it is interesting that only 43 percent of Republicans support the withdrawal, although the former U.S. President George W. Bush, a Republican who signed this Agreement. Over 52 per cent of the Republican respondents their opposition to the withdrawal from Iraq.
He warned executive director of the Institute of Strategic and International Studies in the United States Andrew Barracliti, the misrepresentation of the consequences of ending the war in Iraq, especially in regards to Iraq and said: You must give the Iraqis their right, to self-determination based on the internal politics of Iraq and added that the failure to reach agreement on an extension the survival of U.S. forces in Iraq resulted from Baghdad, not Washington, Iraq now has the freedom and has the options.

Iraq projects may push oil output to 12.5m bpd
Four refineries will be built at cost of $23b
By Himendra Mohan Kumar,
Abu Dhabi: Iraq's oil production may rise to more than 12.5 million barrels a day (bpd) from about 2.4 million bpd by 2017 if things proceed as per plan, Iraq-based Rabee Securities said in a research report.
"This growth in oil production will depend on the speed of the investments," the report said.
"Nobody believes Iraq would stick to those targets. However, of the new crude oil production cap-acity coming on stream in the next few years, nearly half of it will come from Iraq. The question is how much more can Iraq produce," Kate Dourian, Middle East editor for Platts, a global energy information provider, told Gulf News.
Iraq, with its central location, is strategically located in the Middle East and shares its borders with six countries, most of which are experiencing rapid growth and/or have significant cash to invest.
Last year Iraq announced its new estimate of national crude oil reserves at 143.1 billion barrels, which is 24 per cent higher than the previous estimate of 115 billion barrels in 2001.

We in Kurdistan, we see the need to keep part of those forces to support us in overcoming our problems of security, but our Iraqi brothers on the other side were thinking differently, and therefore the Iraqi and U.S. governments have reached the conviction to respect the provisions of the security agreement signed in 2008, and ending U.S. military presence in Iraq , and in any case I believe that Iraq still needs the cooperation of America in this area, and on the Iraqi political leadership to assume their responsibilities and seek to fill the vacuum it will have to withdraw the U.S. military ».

Maliki carries "semi-insoluble dossiers" to Washington - MP
11/6/2011 12:29 PM
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Independent MP Hassan al-Alawi said that Premier Nouri al-Maliki is carrying "semi-insoluble dossiers" during his visit to Washington, pointing that the visit comes in its "right trend before US forces withdrawal from Iraq".
Al-Alawi pointed out to Aswat al-Iraq that "there are pending dossiers, such as the present political crisis, the security situation following the withdrawal, immunity to trainers, latest developments on regions' questions", but he added that "the visit should come out with something new".
The White House announced that Premier Maliki will visit Washington on 12 December next upon an invitation by President Barrack Obama.
He elaborated that both sides will "reconsider the situation if the armed group found a way after US withdrawal".
Alawi questioned whether the Americans will have the stand of a spectator, or US forces from Kuwait will intervene to assist Iraq?".
"This topic is of special importance because military statements tell that the Iraqi forces are incapable of facing these probabilities in the absence of US forces".
On granting immunity to US trainers, Alawi added America has the right to demand guarantees, but the problem that the officials or trainers are not subject to diplomatic rules".

Member of the Iraqi: U.S. Vice President's visit to Iraq is different from its predecessors
06/11/2011 PM - 2:56 PM | Hits: 162
A member of the Iraqi List vegetables Abdul Mahdi said the visit of U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden to Iraq is different from its predecessors, especially as it comes after the decision of the withdrawal of occupying forces from Iraq by the end of this year.
Mahdi said in a statement to the news agency of public opinion (and babysit) on Sunday: "The visit of Biden, he will make to Iraq will be different from where it comes after the announcement of Americas withdraw its troops from Iraq may address the issue of implementation of the agreement to withdraw troops." Noting that the visit may does not address the question of immunity because Iraq will ensure that all Ihatjh Almadrbeyen and political blocs have said in her speech this matter. "
He added: "The exchange of visits between the two sides is normal in the light of the relationship the two countries, especially that Iraq is entering a withdrawal of all occupying forces end of the year, it is natural to be discussed this subject, and discuss the nature of the relationship in the post-withdrawal." Alluding to Iraq should due to its Arab and regional levels and to take active role in all areas. "M

Source: Joe Biden arrives in Baghdad on an unannounced visit tomorrow
Baghdad, November 4 (Rn) - An Iraqi government source familiar with the matter Friday, said Vice President Joe Biden will arrive in Baghdad on Saturday in an unannounced visit.
The source, who preferred anonymity, told the Kurdish news agency (Rn) that "the U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will arrive in Baghdad on Saturday evening in the fast-day visit to discuss with Iraqi officials, a number of common issues between the two countries."
U.S. President Barack Obama has announced in the 21/10/2011 from the White House to withdraw troops from Iraq by the end of this year, said in remarks at a news conference that he agreed with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that the withdrawal is the best solution for both countries.
The negotiations between the two sides had reached a point of contention and the President articulated a grant judicial immunity to trained Americans, the U.S. side insists on granting its soldiers immunity from jurisdiction, while the rejects most of the power Iraq's parliamentary immunity granted to them under any circumstance.
He received the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki last month to support the Iraqi political leaders to the survival of a number of U.S. troops as trainers, but without legal immunity claimed by Washington as part of a deal to keep U.S. troops in Iraq.
Observers believe that the issue of immunity is currently the most prominent obstacle to reach Washington and Baghdad to form a final understanding, but some recently launched a compromise by giving them diplomatic immunity.
He called the Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi in 14 of the last month, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to provide alternatives in case the negotiations to an impasse with the U.S. administration on the immunity of the trainers.
Iraq continues to suffer from tension in the security situation, and the cities experiencing the deadliest bombings almost daily basis mainly targeting government troops and officials in power.
And security incidents occur despite the reports of Iraqi and U.S. indicate that al-Qaeda militant face "significant failures" during the past two years, particularly after the killing or arrest of the most prominent leaders.
The worst stages of the Iraq after the fall of Saddam's regime in 2003 by the American-led forces, those that witnessed sectarian violence between 2005 and 2007, which killed thousands of Iraqis.
Since that time, the security situation improves to a large degree, but attacks by Islamic militants who belong to the Sunni and Shiite communities have continued to the side of the political tensions which witnesses in most cases.

Biden's Iraq visit postponed to next month
05/11/2011 14:39
Baghdad, Nov. 5 (AKnews) - The story of US Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Iraq is getting even weirder: After the Kurdistan Regional Government announced earlier that Biden will not visit the Kurdistan Region, an anonymous Iraqi official now claimed that Biden will not come to Iraq at all.
The expected visit, which had been announced as a "surprise visit" by Iraqi news media last week, was allegedly postponed to next month.
"There are no surprise visits. There are only visits that are kept secret due to security reasons," the source said and requested anonymity because it was not authorized to talk to the media.
Earlier today, Kawa Mahmoud, a spokesman for Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), said that Biden would not visit the Kurdistan Region, because Kurdish President Massoud Barzani and Kurdish Prime Minister Barham Saleh are both abroad, hence there would be nobody Joe Biden could talk to.
Massoud is currently in Turkey, while Saleh is visiting the United States, Kawa Mahmoud, a spokesman for Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), said.
Also, most Kurdish lawmakers are out of the country on diplomatic missions, according to a secret source in the Kurdish Foreign Relations Department.
The source claimed that it had not been informed about Biden's visit to Iraq. Otherwise, the Kurdish politicians would have canceled their travels.
Now, it seems reasonable that nobody informed the Foreign Relations Department of the visit, because there is none.

There are several pending issues between Baghdad and Erbil, especially one of the disputed areas and the budget of the Regional Corps (Peshmerga), but the strained relationship surfaced recently, after the rejection of a draft of the Kurdistan Region Oil and Gas Law approved by the Iraqi government.
He says the region that the draft law, however, focus the powers of the Federal Government in the management of oil wealth at the expense of the region and the provinces, as it passed by the Council of Ministers, without due process of law.
Under the terms of a Erbil agreements, provided that he agrees on the law of oil and gas, but the region accuse the National Alliance circumvent the conventions and pass the bill without taking the position of the Kurds.
"The most important thing distinguishes it in the first place are consistent and in harmony with the Iraqi Constitution, particularly with regard to Articles 111 112, as it gives adequate powers to the regions and producing provinces, with the assertion that the main role will be to the federal government in the management of file oil and gas."
The Iraqi government has confirmed last week that the agreement reached with the Kurdistan Regional Government is to adopt the draft 2007 to the draft law of oil and gas, a tentative agreement will be put through the next few weeks for a vote in the Council of Ministers before it is sent to parliament for approval.
The head of the advisers in the Cabinet, Thamer Ghadhban, has revealed that "the Kurds and the Arabs agreed to make some amendments to the draft law of oil and gas during a maximum period of the end of the year" .. Noting that "in the absence of their ability to make changes, then it will return to the House of Representatives to discuss the draft and modified and then approved again."

Adding that "this bill will remain the basis of any talks between Baghdad and Erbil in the next two months, because it was developed a specific timeframe by the end of this year, and must finish drafting the law of oil and gas to be sent to the Council of Ministers, and after its ratification will be sent to the House of Representatives for discussion and approval."
Increased Atroshi that "the draft 2007 alludes to the contracts concluded by the Erbil with international oil companies, with a review of these contracts during the specified period of time and try not to modify or change a lot in these contracts," adding "the evidence that in the budgets of 2011 and 2012 there are allocations to send funds companies that worked in the province of Kurdistan and all Iraq, and this is a clear recognition that the legitimacy of these contracts and legitimate. "
And about the possibility of the law passed easily in the House of Representatives under the political agreement, said: "If agreement was reached with the National Alliance, namely," .. the belief that the law will pass easily. "
However, to say "But we want to pass this law or agreement with the consensus of the three components, the Iraqi National Alliance, a coalition of Kurdish blocs, and by Iraqi law because it is very important and affect the lives of all citizens of all the components."
The Iraqi cabinet approved a draft law of oil and gas in 2007 but faced a Kurdish objection, observers see that he represents the differences between Erbil and Baghdad on oil revenue sharing and control of some fields in northern Iraq and the Kurdistan region.
The law will determine the party that controls the vast oil reserves, Iraq's fourth-largest reserves in the world and also aims to attract foreign investors.
Iraq seeks to increase capacity over the coming years to reach 12 million barrels per day.

Recent budget constraints Paris Club countries, so that the drop of 80 percent of Iraq's debts
04 November 2011
While calling most of the ministries and departments to increase their share of the budget for 2012 Iraq; still moment between the corridors of the Cabinet, I will finish the weekend with some unpleasant news that speaks more of an obstacle facing the Government is in the process of determining the final figures for the budget before submission to the House for approval.
Regardless of the claim amount of liberal stream of budget is distributed to individuals under project allocation of the share of oil revenues, cash and find an appropriate mechanism to distribute $ 3 to $ 5 billion specified initially by the Finance Ministry, the Cabinet still faces at least two major obstacles to be faced with a package of measures in balancing 2012.
The first obstacle is that the date of the end of 2011 marks the completely debt repayment phase begins in Iraq owes on a variety of States, in accordance with an agreement enabling arrangements which had been held with the International Monetary Fund under the auspices of the Paris Club countries, so that the drop of 80 percent of Iraq's debts were to be paid the rest of 20% by the end of 2011. A debt of Iraq must repay to the lender according to the schedules of multiple should start with balancing 2012 ... This is regardless of the continually Awards paid by Iraq to Kuwait amounting to 5% of the budget.
It began paying Iraq amounts to dusty and was discharged; pressure on the budget, it is the first episode of regaining international confidence and start a fictitious global investment firms that provide and pay those debts, debts estimated at first instalment to Iraq repaid within 2012 budget in the amount of approximately 2 billion dollars, rising to 2 billion and a half during the 2013 budget.
The second obstacle is that pessimistic expectations of global economic conditions, which recession threatens great sntdarr through reduced demand for oil predicted lower prices. Precaution of the Council of Ministers rushed to take a series of austerity measures, and one of the most important of those actions is a intention to reduce the rate of 4% of the total budget sections to the various ministries except a wages and salaries. What is the budget officers to modify these days.
If this austerity intangible, it is proof that there are a lot of sections alasravi and unnecessary waste that does not cause any impact on survival equation General needs. This orientation "precautionary" beautiful. The alarm early is better than not beats and leave ourselves for a moment not good with any solutions and leads to paralysis of the two halves of the State

Ex-Pentagon Deal-Maker Launches New Iraqi Fund
Posted on 04 November 2011. Tags: North America Western Asia Holdings (Nawah), Paul Brinkley, Thomas Pritzker
Bloomberg reports that Paul Brinkley (pictured), the former U.S. Defense Department official who sought to attract companies to Iraq and Afghanistan, has started an investment and advisory firm with backing from billionaire Hyatt chairman Thomas Pritzker.
Nawah LLC – short for North America Western Asia Holdings – will initially seek to invest in Iraqi companies while advising clients looking to do business in the country and throughout North Africa and Central Asia.
Brinkley, who left the Pentagon in July, is chief executive officer, with Pritzker serving as chairman.
The executives believe Iraq can be a stable and profitable country where industries such as energy and agriculture can thrive.
“There’s a point at which the private sector needs to come in and play its role,” Pritzker said in a telephone interview. “It’s potentially an elegant handoff between the government and business.”
Pritzker, who lives in Chicago, is chairman and CEO of the Pritzker Organization, the principal financial and investment adviser to various Pritzker family business interests. He is also executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels Corporation and chairman of Marmon Group, a holding company in which Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. bought a controlling stake in 2007.
He serves on the board of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Over his career, Pritzker has founded and played a central role in companies in a number of different industries. Pritzker is also active in a number of philanthropic organizations including chairing the Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
Pritzker, 61, is the lead investor in the new firm. Nawah declined to disclose how much it will have available to put into deals.
At the Pentagon’s Task Force for Business & Stability Operations, Brinkley traveled extensively in Iraq beginning in 2006, eventually bringing more than 200 companies to the country. The visits, which included Honeywell International Chief Executive Officer David Cote and Boeing Co. CEO James McNerney, generated investment commitments of more than $5 billion, excluding oil-related deals, according to task force data.
As with their government work, Nawah is planning to set up shop in a region many companies actively avoid because they’re unconvinced that any financial rewards are worth the monetary and physical risk of operating in war-torn countries with fragile democracies.
“We see an honest opportunity where more risk-averse capital might not be willing to go,” Brinkley said. “It’s a patient view that creates long-term wealth for ourselves and our business partners.”
Brinkley, a former chief information officer for JDS Uniphase, retired as a deputy undersecretary of defense shortly after the departure of Secretary Robert Gates. While the task force was originally slated to move under the auspices of the State Department, the Pentagon, led by new Secretary Leon Panetta, successfully fought to keep it in its ranks.
Pritzker first met Brinkley as the task force was pitching to international hotel chains about opening in Iraq and later Afghanistan. Brinkley persuaded Pritzker to travel to Iraq twice and the pair subsequently went twice to Afghanistan, where Pritzker had first visited in the 1970s and again in 2004 with his wife.
While Hyatt hasn’t opened a hotel in Baghdad or Kabul, the two men became friends and when Brinkley left the government, he called Pritzker.
“I have a lot of confidence in this group,” Pritzker said. “It’s seen as a can-do team in terms of commercial development. Throughout the region, they have a great and well- deserved reputation for being reliable.”
Brinkley and Pritzker both said their success ultimately will depend on political stability in the region, and in the individual countries. Their work, if done right, may have a hand in helping create that, they said.
“There’s no opportunity like this in the world, given the political developments and the unleashing of human activity,” said Brinkley, who weighed returning to the tech sector after leaving the government. “It would be silly to walk away from it.”

Stabilizing Iraq’s economy: An interview with the DOD’s Paul Brinkley
The leader of the US effort to revitalize Iraq’s economy talks about the lessons he has learned over the past three years, the relationship between economic development and security, Western misconceptions of the Middle East, and the hardest part of his job.
MARCH 2010 • John Dowdy
Source: Public Sector Practice
When the US Department of Defense (DOD) sought to modernize its business practices, it turned to a Silicon Valley executive with a proven track record in streamlining operations. Paul Brinkley had been the chief information officer and a senior vice president at the technology company JDS Uniphase, as well as a licensed industrial engineer with four US patents to his name, when he joined the DOD in 2004. Brinkley promptly went to work improving the department’s processes and systems. But two years later, in a turn of events he did not anticipate, he was spending half of every month in Iraq.
An eye-opening first visit to Iraq in 2006 convinced Brinkley that the DOD could do more to improve economic conditions for the Iraqi people, and that doing so would help stabilize the country. In June 2006, largely through Brinkley’s efforts, the DOD established the Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO), dedicated to revitalizing Iraq’s economy and creating jobs for Iraqis. TFBSO placed civilians with expertise in industrial operations and factory management on the ground in Iraq—skills previously absent from the American presence there.
Under Brinkley’s leadership, the task force began on-site assessments of idle Iraqi factories and worked with Iraqi businesspeople to reopen them—providing training for employees, upgrading equipment, and preparing the factories for large-scale private investment. The task force also engaged leaders from the United States and international corporations to support Iraqi industries, hosting more than 130 private investors and senior executives in Iraq and facilitating several joint ventures. In addition, TFBSO has deployed more than 400 US business leaders, engineers, accountants, and academics across Iraq’s provinces. For example, faculty and staff from American universities have worked on farms in central, northern, and western Iraq, helping Iraqi farmers increase production levels and learn modern farming techniques. To date, TFBSO has helped restart production at more than 60 Iraqi factories, facilitated contracts worth more than $1 billion between foreign private investors and Iraq’s state-owned enterprises, and helped provide jobs for 250,000 Iraqis.
In October 2009, Brinkley spoke with McKinsey director John Dowdy in Washington, DC, about his work in Iraq and what lies ahead. Excerpts from the interview follow.
The Quarterly: Before 2005, you had never even been to Iraq; now you are there every two weeks. What surprised you most when you went to Iraq for the first time?
Paul Brinkley: In my private-sector career, I had been to East Asia and India, but never the Middle East. My image of the Middle East had been formed by what we see on television and the mass media. I probably wasn’t atypical of an American businessperson in that I expected to see desert, camels, palm trees, oil. I never went into Iraq expecting to find a skilled workforce and an industrial economy. That was completely surprising to me.
I think the West has a notion of the Middle East and the Muslim world that is colored by the sensational events that dominate the media. Many Westerners have an impression of an entire people that is extremely unfavorable and not at all representative of that world. I wish every American could get to know the Iraqi people. They have the same hopes, dreams, and aspirations as people in every other country. They aspire to a good life, a job, advancement, an education for their kids. I think so much of what we’re exposed to in the media dehumanizes Iraqis and makes the problems in Iraq just seem insurmountable. American businesspeople think, “How could you possibly do business in a place where the people are so different?” But they’re not so different. That has been a lesson learned for me, and it’s a challenge we really need to confront in the West. How we currently view the Middle East definitely damages our ability to be effective there.
The Quarterly: Most people wouldn’t think of economic revitalization as a core defense function. How did you end up doing this in the Department of Defense?
Paul Brinkley: To answer that question, I’d like to point out a lesson—and I am calling it a lesson because I think what I’m about to say is now a widely accepted proposition in Washington among the people who think about what the government is and should be. The lesson is that we need the ability to use economic improvements as instruments of foreign policy.
Until today, the US government has institutionally had two instruments of foreign policy: diplomacy and force. Yet what the world sees—via mass media, the Internet, mass communications—and what the world wants access to is economic prosperity. America is the predominant actor in terms of projecting economic prosperity. But we’ve seen in places like Iraq and Afghanistan a synchronous linkage of violence and economic deprivation. We need to look proactively for ways to uplift the economic prospects of a society to help stabilize it. We don’t have that institutionally in the government; the US government is not designed to assist in that capacity.
But the Department of Defense is doing it today. And it is doing it for a couple of reasons. One is that the DOD is in harm’s way. It is facing the most immediate consequences of the problems, and it is bearing the brunt of the pain and loss—wounded soldiers and casualties of war. The other reason is that the DOD is itself a huge business operation. It is the world’s largest industrial enterprise by a factor of about three, much larger than the world’s largest corporation, so it has people who understand business. It can draw on its business expertise. That’s how we initially engaged in Iraq.
Institutionally, there’s a debate under way about how the government should approach this. Should [business and stability operations] be in the department long term? Should they be in some other part of the government? For the time being, the DOD has been able to marshal the resources to address this problem. There have been challenges in doing it as part of the DOD, and there have been benefits. We’ll see how the structures play out over the longer term.
The Quarterly: In the more than three years since TFBSO was formed, what are you proudest of? What do you think has been the task force’s biggest accomplishment?
Paul Brinkley: I’m proud of the way that we as a team have been able to adapt. When [TFBSO] started working in Iraq in 2006, the situation there had deteriorated to a level of violence that no one had predicted, and no one had a plan at that time for how to deal with that violence. Obviously I’m proud of all the successes we’ve had, and there are a lot of statistics we can cite about the effects we’ve had across Iraq. Those successes are heartwarming, but I’m proudest of our team’s ability to be nimble and adjust to circumstances, particularly in a government structure that makes adaptability very hard, especially in civilian-type work.
The Quarterly: The conventional wisdom is that there has to be security before economic development can begin. You have a different view—that economic development actually helps establish security.
Paul Brinkley: It can sound like a cliché, but we have to address the fundamental structural brokenness in places where violence has taken hold. What causes people—not just random actors, because you can have random violent actors in any society—but people in general to reach a point where they sympathize with violent actors, and violence takes hold and becomes part of daily life? People without hope—people with no prospects—will act out.
I look at our own experience in the midst of this economic downturn and the decisions we have made in the West that even two years ago may have seemed shocking. We’ve made certain decisions regarding our banking industry and our automotive sector. Why have we made these decisions? Because we don’t want social unrest; we don’t want to create an environment where society begins to degrade—so why would it be any different for anyone else in any other part of the world? I think we have lost our perspective because of our long-term prosperity. We have lost a sense of understanding of how hopelessness can cause one to act out in ways that someone in a prosperous situation wouldn’t. And now you see our troops dealing with the results of that—our young men and women are trying to secure areas where the unemployment rate is 50 percent, where people have no hope and no prospects, and where the sympathy with violence is so great. In my view, it is fundamentally unacceptable to send troops into harm’s way like that.
I don’t think it’s an either/or, and I don’t think security necessarily creates economic development or vice versa, but to say there’s no relationship between economics and security is, I believe, very naïve.
The Quarterly: It’s interesting to hear you talk about the decisions the US government has made in the financial and automotive sectors. You came under heavy criticism for helping to revitalize state-owned enterprises in Iraq. Could you comment on how you see the role of state versus private investment in economic stabilization?
Paul Brinkley: Our efforts to reverse the policy regarding state-owned industry in Iraq—that is, to get state-owned enterprises up and running and then transitionally privatize, as opposed to the economic “shock therapy” approaches that were taken early on—were only one aspect of our total efforts in Iraq, but yes, they did attract a lot of attention. I think it is interesting and ironic—and, I hope, for the West a little discomforting—that we project such a sense of certainty about our own economic model, and yet when confronted with difficult decisions about people’s lives and livelihoods, we compromise quickly on those things. By the way, I think it is reasonable that we compromise; it doesn’t mean that we’re becoming socialists or that we’ve given up on the free market, but it is an acknowledgment of the fact that government has a responsibility to act in the best interest of citizens. An ideologically driven mind-set on either side is not the right one to have. If we’ve learned anything in Iraq, it’s that you have to take the ideology but then apply some pragmatism to it.
We all agree—and the Iraqis agree—that the end state in Iraq should be a free-market economy. No one is arguing for socialism in Iraq. The question is, how are we going to get there? We’re seeing evidence that the approach we’ve taken is more sound, much less disruptive to society, and results in much less violence.
The Quarterly: The counterinsurgency doctrine says you must protect and help the people in order to win. It sounds like you’re suggesting that “help” is at least as important as “protect.”
Paul Brinkley: I’m not crazy about the word “help” because it implies charity; it implies showering people with our largesse. What we mean by “help” is assisting people to build their own capability to live a good life, have upward mobility, feed and educate their children, live in a safe neighborhood, and eventually protect themselves. That to me is what counterinsurgency means, and you can’t do that without an economic capability as part of that “help” equation.
The Quarterly: How would you describe the nature of the opportunity today for private investors in Iraq?
Paul Brinkley: I would describe Iraq today as a high-risk, high-return opportunity. It’s not for widows’ and orphans’ money. I would not put an entire 401(k) into an Iraqi fund—but certainly the percentage of the 401(k) that is allocated to higher-risk and higher-return investments. I honestly believe Iraq is one of the last great “ground floors” we will ever have in the world. China in the late 1980s and early 1990s was a ground floor—if you got in at that time, you did very well. India followed. Iraq today is a ground floor. It doesn’t have the population of China or India, but it has a huge amount of mineral wealth, oil wealth, and agricultural wealth. Geographically, it is positioned to become one of the most prosperous countries in the world. And I don’t think that ground floor is going to stay open for too much longer. I think we have a few more months, and then the acceleration of investment in Iraq will take place. I expect that to happen during 2010.
The Quarterly: There has been a lot of press recently about renewed violence in Baghdad. Do you think that is scaring investors off? Should it?
Paul Brinkley: If you look at the statistics on Baghdad, the violence has not increased. The number of events in Baghdad has actually continued to decline. The performance of the Iraqi army and the Iraqi police after our troops have pulled back has actually been quite strong. I think that what we have seen, especially around the election cycle, is a recurrence of very large, spectacular, desperate acts by a shrinking pool of violent actors—people who are desperate to make one last effort to demonstrate that security is not restored. I was talking to someone recently who had spent a lot of time in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and he said that the closer they got to a peace agreement, the more spectacular the events became and the more desperate the last remaining hard-core insurgents were to try to reverse course. So I suspect that we will see those kinds of spectacular acts that will attract a lot of attention. For investors, these acts will keep the ground floor open a little longer.
It’s also interesting that these acts are centered in Baghdad. Iraq, of course, is far broader than just Baghdad. It is a country with many cities—Basra, Najaf, Karbala, Ramadi, and in the north, Kirkuk, Mosul, and so on—so events in Baghdad do not necessarily reflect the security situation in the entire country.
The Quarterly: All eyes are now on Afghanistan. Do you think the approach that you used in Iraq could be productively applied in Afghanistan?
Paul Brinkley: Offering economic opportunity as part of protecting and helping the population is absolutely critical in Afghanistan. What gets done tactically is going to be very, very different than what we did in Iraq. It’s a different culture, it’s different people, and Afghanistan has advantages and disadvantages when compared with Iraq—for example, with respect to educational levels or preexisting infrastructure to support business. But the general approach—the acknowledgment that there must be a strong tactical economic and private-sector business-development effort in Afghanistan—is absolutely essential.
We have already been impressed by the caliber of the business community that we’ve engaged with in just the short time we’ve been working there. The more we learn, the more we’ll see how we can help, but I am optimistic that the approach at the broadest level is absolutely appropriate for Afghanistan.
The Quarterly: You have now spent three years flying back and forth to the Middle East, initially in a very dangerous situation and certainly in a very complicated one. By all accounts, your job is extremely difficult and challenging. What has been the hardest part about doing it?
Paul Brinkley: On the personal side, the hardest part of my job is having to be away from my family so often. Professionally, the institutional and structural challenges we face in our Western governments have been the hardest part. Our economies have evolved to a level of maturity such that it has created a mind-set—one that is now so deeply ingrained at all levels of our bureaucracy—that the economy just happens on its own. But if you look at the history of the United States or the United Kingdom or other countries, that’s not the way it happened. Interstate highways were built, infrastructure was laid down, industries were created. These were things that the government did; they did not happen spontaneously. Much of our industrial capability here in the United States came about in the middle of the 20th century as a result of massive military spending.
Yet we’ve grown so accustomed to the success of our free-market model that we’ve lost sight of the fact that, for a country coming out of violence or engaged in violence, this alchemy isn’t natural. So the hardest part of my job has been to confront the deeply embedded belief among people in the government that what we’re doing in Iraq isn’t necessary, or even that what we’re doing is wrong, and this has led to tremendous bureaucratic barriers being thrown up at every stage of the process. That’s been our most difficult hurdle. But I think we’ve overcome it.

When President Obama declared an end to the Iraq war, he also looked forward to "a new phase in relations between Iraq and the United States."
If we play our cards right, this new phase may prove more important than the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
Critics charge that the withdrawal is a defeat for the United States and a victory for Iran, and that it leaves Iraq vulnerable to a rekindled civil war. They could not be more wrong.
I have worked on Iraq policy for nearly eight years. I was an early advocate for a surge that sent 30,000 troops to Iraq — then I helped negotiate the 2008 accords that set the terms for withdrawal of all U.S. forces by the end of this year.
Most recently, I helped manage talks with the Iraqis on whether and how to extend that deadline.
The decision to complete our withdrawal was not the result of a failed negotiation but rather the byproduct of an independent Iraq that has an open political system and a 325-member parliament whose proceedings are televised daily.
U.S. and Iraqi legal experts determined that any new accord required parliamentary approval to ensure U.S. troops would be immune from Iraqi laws.
No bloc in parliament other than the Kurds supported that requirement.
Consequently, our trying to force an agreement through the Iraqi parliament would have been self-destructive. That had nothing to do with Iran and everything to do with Iraqi pride, history and nationalism.
Even the most staunchly anti-Iranian Iraqi officials refused to publicly back a residual U.S. force — and in the end, they supported our withdrawal.
To be sure, Iran retains great influence in Baghdad. But so do we. Over the course of our talks this summer, the Iraqi government quietly dismantled Iranian-backed militia groups in Maysan province, on the Iranian border.
It sent messages to Tehran that any attack on U.S. forces would be considered an attack on the Iraqi state. It completed the purchase of 18 F-16s, becoming the world's ninth-largest purchaser of U.S. military equipment — and the fourth-largest in the region behind Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
These are the building blocks of a real defense partnership, and they do not require the basing of U.S. troops.
In addition, and against the heavy lobbying of Tehran, Iraq invited international oil firms to help develop its infrastructure. The oil is now flowing. Daily production is about to top 3 million barrels for the first time in decades.
Within two years, Iraq is projected to surpass Iran's daily exports — and within five years to double its total production.
The argument that we should keep troops in Iraq to balance Iran never resonated with Iraqis, most of whom do not wish to be drawn into a conflict between the United States and Iran.
Nor was it clear that a small residual force would have deterred Iran. It may well have had the opposite effect: fueling recruitment to Iranian-backed extremist groups.
What about security? Iraq is averaging between zero and seven security incidents a day nationwide — compared with 180 per day four years ago.
After U.S. troops left Iraqi cities in June 2009, security improved. That withdrawal strengthened Iraqi forces and dented the legitimacy of extremist groups fighting U.S. and Iraqi troops. Today, Iraqis are exclusively managing their own security.
The full withdrawal may increase risks in the short term, but there would have been serious risks in trying to force the Iraqis to let us stay — including a failed vote in parliament and a long-term breakdown in relations.
Iraq is beset with problems — including a low-grade insurgency and a stagnant political system. Those problems will continue. But active U.S. diplomacy — rather than basing U.S. troops in Iraq — is essential to helping the Iraqis manage them.
Going forward, the Iraqis have asked for renewed U.S. focus on the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA), which passed in 2008 and envisions broad ties in the areas of education, commerce and security.
In the security field alone, the SFA offers a basis for joint exercises, counterterrorism cooperation and air and naval defense. The withdrawal, thus, is not an end to military cooperation, and it may allow the United States to deepen relationships with Iraqi forces.
Similarly, in the fields of trade and education, the SFA can help integrate Iraq further into the global economy.
Making clear that the withdrawal closes one book but opens another is now the essential task for the United States. An entire generation of Iraqis knows little of the United States beyond what they call the American war.
Twenty-five percent of the country's population — nearly 8 million Iraqis — were born after the 2003 invasion. Nearly half the population is younger than 19.
This new generation will soon see U.S. troops leave under an agreement signed by one U.S. president and implemented by another. It will be an honorable end to the war and one of the first of its kind in history.
With a serious and renewed focus on the SFA, it can also be the start of a new and lasting partnership between our two countries.

Statement by IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde on the G-20 Cannes Summit
11/05/2011
Press Release No. 11/395
November 4, 2011
The following statement was issued today by Ms. Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), after the conclusion of the Group of 20 Leaders Summit in Cannes, France:
“I welcome the Cannes Action Plan for Growth and Jobs as well as the other steps announced at the Summit, including the measures that will support the IMF in assisting our member countries and in promoting a more sustainable global economy. The G-20 Leaders recognized that we all face daunting policy challenges as the world economy has entered a more uncertain phase. While more work remains to be done, our two days of active discussion in Cannes have shown that we can find common ground for the greater good.
“The G-20 Leaders have reiterated the importance of implementing expeditiously the measures announced by the Eurozone on October 26 toward establishing a comprehensive framework to address the crisis facing the region. The Eurozone Leaders of the G-20 have reiterated their determination to do so. In this context, I welcome Italy’s decision to invite the IMF to intensify our surveillance and monitoring work, to help support the major steps being taken by the government on both fiscal adjustment and structural reforms.
“In addition, I am encouraged by the support given by the Leaders to strengthening the role of the IMF in three areas:
First, I welcome the G-20 commitment to ensure that the Fund will continue to have adequate resources to play its systemic role, for the benefit of our whole membership.
Second, building on steps already taken to enhance our lending toolkit to help our global membership cope with crises, I will work expeditiously with the IMF’s Executive Board towards adopting a new Precautionary and Liquidity Line (PLL)—to provide increased and more flexible short-term liquidity to countries with strong policies and fundamentals facing systemic shocks.
Third, the G-20 underlined the importance of strengthening further IMF surveillance. In this context, we will make proposals for a new integrated decision on surveillance early next year–with the goal of increasing ownership, traction and effectiveness.
“The G-20 also took significant steps towards a more stable and resilient international monetary system. This includes agreement on Coherent Conclusions for the Management of Capital Flows, as well as steps towards broadening the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket– in line with the goal of further diversifying the global currency system.
“The Leaders’ agreement to continue to strengthen financial regulation is also very important. A healthier and safer financial sector is needed to supply the credit needed to finance the recovery and serve the needs of the real economy, including job creation.
“Finally, I would like to underscore again the spirit of multilateral cooperation embodied in the Cannes Action Plan for Growth and Jobs and the imperative, now, to implement it. The issues of high unemployment and adequate social safety nets are urgent. The IMF is committed to strengthening our work on the interplay between macroeconomic policy and social issues as a matter of priority–including our collaboration with the ILO.
“The stakes are high. IMF analysis in support of the G-20 Mutual Assessment Process shows that, with appropriate collective action, world GDP could be raised by 1½ percent by 2016, and between 20 million and 40 million new jobs could be added.”

Political process is solid, MPs say
Many MPs of various political Blocs agreed on that the political process in the country is solid, and they ruled out any political collapse facing it. Jumaa MP 'Ebrahim, Iraqia bloc, said that current political situation reports progress in the right direction with collaboration of all political parties, as he ruled out his bloc's withdrawal from the political process.
Another Iraqia bloc's MP Mohamed Alkhaledi said that Iraq sees different attitudes, and that's a normal feature of any democratic country, particularly Iraq has so many parties and Blocs in addition to its nascent experience at this field.

dont have time to pass a new one...
For Mr. Allawi to actually get this position it requires a constitution amendment for that to actually happen...might take a little while.......maybe that is what this rheurotic is all about....hmmm
They want this over with.....they need this over with.....If they want to attract investors they need prove how safe, stable & secure
they really are...

Joey & Vic discuss the article above.........are they lying......are they trying to rip the Iraqis off...figures dont jive....never been able to get the true numbers..listen to the recording for discussion
Joey: Listen to this next article and you tell me how important this is and how much money they are actually sticking in their pocket
per barrel of oil....I read today and went what the heck???
Oil oil starting to come on strong
After years of stagnant production, Iraq oil output is starting to increase.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- As the last remaining U.S. troops leave Iraq, oil production from the war-torn but oil rich nation is finally starting to ramp up.
Oil production in Iraq hovered around 2 million barrels a day for much of the post-U.S. invasion period.
But over the last year production jumped 13%, going from 2.3 to 2.6 million barrels a day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Much of that increase has come in the last few months alone, and it's part of the reason why many analyst expect Saudi Arabia to soon cut oil output.
In fact, some analysts say that over the next few years Iraqi oil production could really balloon. The Iraqis may eventually produce as much oil as the Saudis.
But an increase in Iraqi oil production raises several issues, including what impact it may have on world oil prices and how all that oil money will get divided up.
A massive amount of oil: It's no secret that Iraq has a huge amount of oil in the ground. EIA estimates the country has the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves, and even more may lie under the unexplored western desert.
Saudi oil production cut looms
A couple of years ago, the newly formed Iraqi government began awarding big contracts to the world's major oil companies in an effort to boost its nascent production.
The companies they selected came from all over the world -- including from all five permanent members of the United Nation's Security Council.
France's Total (TOT), England's BP (BP), China's CNPC, Russia's Lukoil and U.S.-based Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) were all picked.
Other companies include Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA), Occidental (OXY, Fortune 500), Marathon (MRO, Fortune 500), Norway's Statoil, Angola's Sonangol, and the oil service firms Baker Hughes (BHI, Fortune 500), Halliburton (HAL, Fortune 500) and Schlumberger (SLB).
The Iraqis were savvy in their negotiations. Normally, when firms develop oil fields the terms of the deal give companies ownership over a certain percentage of the yet-to-be-tapped oil.
But with the Iraqi deal, most firms don't actually own any of the oil. They are instead paid a service fee on each barrel that they pump.
The return on their investment is still attractive -- the energy research firm EPRINC estimated it at 15%. But it means they can't claim as much of the oil as an asset on their balance sheets, which can hurt their stock price.
It also means that over 90% of the oil revenue the fields generate will stay in Iraq.
"The service fee is tiny compared to the revenue from this oil," said , Amy Myers Jaffe, a fellow in energy studies at the James A. Baker III

Oil oil starting to come on strong
After years of stagnant production, Iraq oil output is starting to increase.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- As the last remaining U.S. troops leave Iraq, oil production from the war-torn but oil rich nation is finally starting to ramp up.
Oil production in Iraq hovered around 2 million barrels a day for much of the post-U.S. invasion period.
But over the last year production jumped 13%, going from 2.3 to 2.6 million barrels a day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Much of that increase has come in the last few months alone, and it's part of the reason why many analyst expect Saudi Arabia to soon cut oil output.
In fact, some analysts say that over the next few years Iraqi oil production could really balloon. The Iraqis may eventually produce as much oil as the Saudis.
But an increase in Iraqi oil production raises several issues, including what impact it may have on world oil prices and how all that oil money will get divided up.
A massive amount of oil: It's no secret that Iraq has a huge amount of oil in the ground. EIA estimates the country has the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves, and even more may lie under the unexplored western desert.
Saudi oil production cut looms
A couple of years ago, the newly formed Iraqi government began awarding big contracts to the world's major oil companies in an effort to boost its nascent production.
The companies they selected came from all over the world -- including from all five permanent members of the United Nation's Security Council.
France's Total (TOT), England's BP (BP), China's CNPC, Russia's Lukoil and U.S.-based Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) were all picked.
Other companies include Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA), Occidental (OXY, Fortune 500), Marathon (MRO, Fortune 500), Norway's Statoil, Angola's Sonangol, and the oil service firms Baker Hughes (BHI, Fortune 500), Halliburton (HAL, Fortune 500) and Schlumberger (SLB).
The Iraqis were savvy in their negotiations. Normally, when firms develop oil fields the terms of the deal give companies ownership over a certain percentage of the yet-to-be-tapped oil.
But with the Iraqi deal, most firms don't actually own any of the oil. They are instead paid a service fee on each barrel that they pump.
The return on their investment is still attractive -- the energy research firm EPRINC estimated it at 15%. But it means they can't claim as much of the oil as an asset on their balance sheets, which can hurt their stock price.
It also means that over 90% of the oil revenue the fields generate will stay in Iraq.
"The service fee is tiny compared to the revenue from this oil," said , Amy Myers Jaffe, a fellow in energy studies at the James A. Baker III

" and the province of Kirkuk as well as areas in Nineveh and Diyala, Salahuddin, one of the disputed areas between the Baghdad government and the Kurdistan region. The former Iraqi regime, which dropped in 2003 at the hands of international forces led by America, has conducted demographic changes in areas of mixed national in favor of Arabs at the expense of the Kurds, including Kirkuk which lies 255 km northeast of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. He cited Iraq, an article in the constitution is 140 to settle the dispute on those areas and provides for the normalization of the situation to remove the effects of previous policies before making a census paving the way for the final phase of a referendum in those areas to determine the dependence on the administrative territory of Kurdistan, or government in Baghdad Federation. and was scheduled completion of the provisions of Article end of 2007, but the presence of complex problems in Iraq, particularly in the disputed areas prevented it.

Joey: So Erbil, Article 140, must be settled before the troops leave....thats pretty outstanding guys....BEFORE the troops leave...
Remember what we read Thursday night from May 2011, once they decided on troops (which they did) then they would give us Erbil & the ministers
Remember the article we read Thursd.....One sentence from it: The President of Islamic Supreme Council to take on the importance of the UN role to help Iraq achieve full sovreignty after the departure of the US Troops thru the relentless pursuit to solve problenms related to the exit of Chapter 7
They are working on so many things...rushing to get things done....
The UN in Iraq will close all offices outside of Iraq, and then it will reopen inside after the significant security improvement...so They had closed their offices over there and they are re-opening them back up.......Do you think they are trying to send a message to the world?....That Iraq is safe...The Un is here..please come and invest...sounds like it to me...the UN will spare no effort in providing assistance to the Iraq Govt to the situation after the US withdrawal.....very important!!!
Joey: Some articles I will paraphrase about the Kurds, Erbil and Article 140...you will be outstanded at some of the statements in these articles I am going to share
Baghdad and Erbil agree on a settlement to approve oil and gas law
Iraqi officials have said that the Iraqi central government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq, autonomous, in Arbil had agreed to amend the draft law of oil and gas in Iraq and the issuance of the new unified law by the end of this year.
The officials said that the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Barham Salih, agreed during talks in Baghdad last week that by Dec. 31 will be amended Act 2007, as agreed upon by all the political blocs, or approval as it is. He said government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh Central "We have two sides agreed that the end of this year will be the preparation of a draft is agreed upon, either to go back to the old draft, or create a new draft, as we agree upon."
Senior advisor to Maliki for Energy Thamer Sevdilan angry that the two sides adopt the old version without any modifications because time is running out. "We have agreed there is a preference for no changes so as not to waste time."
Officials were not available for comment on the Kurds that. And Kurdish officials strongly criticized the draft law approved by the Iraqi
government late last August to expand its control over oil reserves in the country, the fourth-largest reserves in the world. It seems that the agreement would marginalize al-Maliki and the draft law in favor of the controversial, was expected to ignite a political battle within the Iraqi government's shaky coalition. And impose the draft central control over oil and gas resources by giving Baghdad more control of the producing fields and fields awarding investment contracts backup. The 2007 law gives regional authorities the control of partial reserves.
And analyst in the "Iraqi Institute for Strategic Studies," Yahya Kubaisi that the differences are so deep can not be solved in two months. "The law was passed in this way is very difficult because the differences are not about the individual but the same philosophy by a dispute over who owns the oil and gas. I think it's kind of political propaganda."
He said Iraqi political analyst Ibrahim Sumaidaie that al-Maliki to reach an agreement with the benefit of having tried to "Iraqi List" led by Iyad Allawi, the most prominent opponent win over rival Kurdish MPs to topple the fragile government.

U.S. Planning Troop Buildup in Gulf After Exit From Iraq
MacDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The Obama administration plans to bolster the American military presence in the Persian Gulf after it withdraws the remaining troops from Iraq this year, according to officials and diplomats. That repositioning could include new combat forces in Kuwait able to respond to a collapse of security in Iraq or a military confrontation with Iran.
With an eye on the threat of a belligerent Iran, the administration is also seeking to expand military ties with the six nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. While the United States has close bilateral military relationships with each, the administration and the military are trying to foster a new “security architecture” for the Persian Gulf that would integrate air and naval patrols and missile defense.
The size of the standby American combat force to be based in Kuwait remains the subject of negotiations, with an answer expected in coming days. Officers at the Central Command headquarters here declined to discuss specifics of the proposals, but it was clear that successful deployment plans from past decades could be incorporated into plans for a post-Iraq footprint in the region.
“Back to the future” is how Maj. Gen. Karl R. Horst, Central Command’s chief of staff, described planning for a new posture in the Gulf. He said the command was focusing on smaller but highly capable deployments and training partnerships with regional militaries. “We are kind of thinking of going back to the way it was before we had a big ‘boots on the ground’ presence,” General Horst said. “I think it is healthy. I think it is efficient. I think it is practical.”
“We will have a robust continuing presence throughout the region, which is proof of our ongoing commitment to Iraq and to the future of that region, which holds such promise and should be freed from outside interference to continue on a pathway to democracy,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Tajikistan after the president’s announcement.
Officers at Central Command said that the post-Iraq era required them to seek more efficient ways to deploy forces and maximize cooperation with regional partners.
Col. John G. Worman, Central Command’s chief for exercises, noted a Persian Gulf milestone: For the first time, he said, the military of Iraq had been invited to participate in a regional exercise in Jordan next year, called Eager Lion 12, built around the threat of guerrilla warfare and terrorism.
Iran, as it has been for more than three decades, remains the most worrisome threat to many of those nations, as well as to Iraq itself, where it has re-established political, cultural and economic ties, even as it provided covert support for Shiite insurgents who have battled American forces.
Sheik Khalid was in Washington last week for meetings with the administration and Congress. “There’s no doubt it will create a vacuum,” he said, “and it may invite regional powers to exert more overt action in Iraq.”
He added that the administration’s proposal to expand its security relationship with the Persian Gulf nations would not “replace what’s going on in Iraq”but was required in the wake of the withdrawal to demonstrate a unified defense in a dangerous region. “Now the game is different,” he said. “We’ll have to be partners in operations, in issues and in many ways that we should work together.”
“As you know, the complete withdrawal of our forces from Iraq is likely to be viewed as a strategic victory by our enemies in the Middle East, especially the Iranian regime,” the senators wrote Wednesday in a letter to the chairman of the Senate’s Armed Services Committee.

Iraqi forces will not be ready to protect its borders without assistance from international partners until at least 2020, a military official says. (AFP)
The Iraqi military’s chief of staff, Lieutenant General Babaker Zebari, “estimated that it will take several more years before Iraq can provide for its external defense without assistance from international partners,” said the report from the U.S. Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR).
“General Zebari suggested that the (Ministry of Defense) will be unable to execute the full spectrum of external-defense missions until sometime between 2020 and 2024, citing (Iraqi government) funding shortfalls as the main reason for the delay,” the report said.

Iraq and US security advisors meet at White House

Remember every counterfeited currency found by the CBI that went thru a De La Rue Machine was a 10,000 note....someone is a very good duplicator and so they said the 10,000 dinar note going to be worth alot of money if you can find the real ones...and you better buy now before the value increases or before it becomes very difficult to find find them at all...I bet they intend to destroy them........awesome and powerful article
If they want to revalue their currency, what do you think the first thing they would do...start sucking those 10,000 dinar notes out because those are the only ones they are truly concerned about counterfeiting.

UN Envoy in Iraq on a tour of the disputed next week
Baghdad, October 27 / October (Rn) - The United Nations envoy in Iraq, Martin Kobler on Thursday, he will begin early next week to tour the disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil to work to find formulas for understanding between the people of those areas before the withdrawal of the U.S. Army in the end of this year. and handed Kubler German diplomat veteran functions as a special envoy of the United Nations in Iraq in August / August substitute for the Dutchman Ad Melkert to oversee the activities of the organization of international political, economic and humanitarian there. said Kuebler, told the Kurdish news agency (Rn) that "there is a tour I'm going to the in the disputed areas and I will be on Saturday or Sunday next in the province of Kirkuk to meet with officials there and talk to them about the problems facing the city, "noting that" the United Nations in Iraq working to find a formula of understanding between the city's population to end the problems. " and the province of Kirkuk as well as areas in Nineveh and Diyala, Salahuddin, one of the disputed areas between the Baghdad government and the Kurdistan region. The former Iraqi regime, which dropped in 2003 at the hands of international forces led by America, has conducted demographic changes in areas of mixed national in favor of Arabs at the expense of the Kurds, including Kirkuk which lies 255 km northeast of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. He cited Iraq, an article in the constitution is 140 to settle the dispute on those areas and provides for the normalization of the situation to remove the effects of previous policies before making a census paving the way for the final phase of a referendum in those areas to determine the dependence on the administrative territory of Kurdistan, or government in Baghdad Federation. and was scheduled completion of the provisions of Article end of 2007, but the presence of complex problems in Iraq, particularly in the disputed areas prevented it. He Kubler, "The United Nations Mission will be a set of solutions to officials in the province (Kirkuk) in an attempt to bridge
the gap between the parties that are out there, "stressing" We must reach a formula of understanding between the parties before the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

Joey: So Erbil, Article 140, must be settled before the troops leave....thats pretty outstanding guys....BEFORE the troops leave...
Remember what we read Thursday night from May 2011, once they decided on troops (which they did) then they would give us Erbil & the ministers
Remember the article we read Thursd.....One sentence from it: The President of Islamic Supreme Council to take on the importance of the UN role to help Iraq achieve full sovreignty after the departure of the US Troops thru the relentless pursuit to solve problenms related to the exit of Chapter 7
They are working on so many things...rushing to get things done....
The UN in Iraq will close all offices outside of Iraq, and then it will reopen inside after the significant security improvement...so They had closed their offices over there and they are re-opening them back up.......Do you think they are trying to send a message to the world?....That Iraq is safe...The Un is here..please come and invest...sounds like it to me...the UN will spare no effort in providing assistance to the Iraq Govt to the situation after the US withdrawal.....very important!!!
Joey: Some articles I will paraphrase about the Kurds, Erbil and Article 140...you will be outstanded at some of the statements in these articles I am going to share
Baghdad and Erbil agree on a settlement to approve oil and gas law
Iraqi officials have said that the Iraqi central government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq, autonomous, in Arbil had agreed to amend the draft law of oil and gas in Iraq and the issuance of the new unified law by the end of this year.
The officials said that the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Barham Salih, agreed during talks in Baghdad last week that by Dec. 31 will be amended Act 2007, as agreed upon by all the political blocs, or approval as it is. He said government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh Central "We have two sides agreed that the end of this year will be the preparation of a draft is agreed upon, either to go back to the old draft, or create a new draft, as we agree upon."
Senior advisor to Maliki for Energy Thamer Sevdilan angry that the two sides adopt the old version without any modifications because time is running out. "We have agreed there is a preference for no changes so as not to waste time."
Officials were not available for comment on the Kurds that. And Kurdish officials strongly criticized the draft law approved by the Iraqi
government late last August to expand its control over oil reserves in the country, the fourth-largest reserves in the world. It seems that the agreement would marginalize al-Maliki and the draft law in favor of the controversial, was expected to ignite a political battle within the Iraqi government's shaky coalition. And impose the draft central control over oil and gas resources by giving Baghdad more control of the producing fields and fields awarding investment contracts backup. The 2007 law gives regional authorities the control of partial reserves.
And analyst in the "Iraqi Institute for Strategic Studies," Yahya Kubaisi that the differences are so deep can not be solved in two months. "The law was passed in this way is very difficult because the differences are not about the individual but the same philosophy by a dispute over who owns the oil and gas. I think it's kind of political propaganda."
He said Iraqi political analyst Ibrahim Sumaidaie that al-Maliki to reach an agreement with the benefit of having tried to "Iraqi List" led by Iyad Allawi, the most prominent opponent win over rival Kurdish MPs to topple the fragile government.

“Mr Barzani vowed to have the best borders from now on so people can travel easily and not be subject to any insecurity.... We consider this issue to be over,” Salehi added

U.S. Planning Troop Buildup in Gulf After Exit From Iraq
MacDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The Obama administration plans to bolster the American military presence in the Persian Gulf after it withdraws the remaining troops from Iraq this year, according to officials and diplomats. That repositioning could include new combat forces in Kuwait able to respond to a collapse of security in Iraq or a military confrontation with Iran.
With an eye on the threat of a belligerent Iran, the administration is also seeking to expand military ties with the six nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. While the United States has close bilateral military relationships with each, the administration and the military are trying to foster a new “security architecture” for the Persian Gulf that would integrate air and naval patrols and missile defense.
The size of the standby American combat force to be based in Kuwait remains the subject of negotiations, with an answer expected in coming days. Officers at the Central Command headquarters here declined to discuss specifics of the proposals, but it was clear that successful deployment plans from past decades could be incorporated into plans for a post-Iraq footprint in the region.
“Back to the future” is how Maj. Gen. Karl R. Horst, Central Command’s chief of staff, described planning for a new posture in the Gulf. He said the command was focusing on smaller but highly capable deployments and training partnerships with regional militaries. “We are kind of thinking of going back to the way it was before we had a big ‘boots on the ground’ presence,” General Horst said. “I think it is healthy. I think it is efficient. I think it is practical.”
“We will have a robust continuing presence throughout the region, which is proof of our ongoing commitment to Iraq and to the future of that region, which holds such promise and should be freed from outside interference to continue on a pathway to democracy,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Tajikistan after the president’s announcement.
Officers at Central Command said that the post-Iraq era required them to seek more efficient ways to deploy forces and maximize cooperation with regional partners.
Col. John G. Worman, Central Command’s chief for exercises, noted a Persian Gulf milestone: For the first time, he said, the military of Iraq had been invited to participate in a regional exercise in Jordan next year, called Eager Lion 12, built around the threat of guerrilla warfare and terrorism.
Iran, as it has been for more than three decades, remains the most worrisome threat to many of those nations, as well as to Iraq itself, where it has re-established political, cultural and economic ties, even as it provided covert support for Shiite insurgents who have battled American forces.
Sheik Khalid was in Washington last week for meetings with the administration and Congress. “There’s no doubt it will create a vacuum,” he said, “and it may invite regional powers to exert more overt action in Iraq.”
He added that the administration’s proposal to expand its security relationship with the Persian Gulf nations would not “replace what’s going on in Iraq”but was required in the wake of the withdrawal to demonstrate a unified defense in a dangerous region. “Now the game is different,” he said. “We’ll have to be partners in operations, in issues and in many ways that we should work together.”
“As you know, the complete withdrawal of our forces from Iraq is likely to be viewed as a strategic victory by our enemies in the Middle East, especially the Iranian regime,” the senators wrote Wednesday in a letter to the chairman of the Senate’s Armed Services Committee.

Iraqi forces will not be ready to protect its borders without assistance from international partners until at least 2020, a military official says. (AFP)
The Iraqi military’s chief of staff, Lieutenant General Babaker Zebari, “estimated that it will take several more years before Iraq can provide for its external defense without assistance from international partners,” said the report from the U.S. Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR).
“General Zebari suggested that the (Ministry of Defense) will be unable to execute the full spectrum of external-defense missions until sometime between 2020 and 2024, citing (Iraqi government) funding shortfalls as the main reason for the delay,” the report said.

Iraq and US security advisors meet at White House
The top national security advisors of the United States and Iraq met Saturday at the White House, signalling the continued close cooperation of the two countries as US troops prepare to depart by year's end, DPA reported.

Joey: Crazy article...You know why the 10,000 dinar notes are the 1st to disappear? They told us in this article...because the currency market is full of money traders and counterfeiters...
Remember every counterfeited currency found by the CBI that went thru a De La Rue Machine was a 10,000 note....someone is a very good duplicator and so they said the 10,000 dinar note going to be worth alot of money if you can find the real ones...and you better buy now before the value increases or before it becomes very difficult to find find them at all...I bet they intend to destroy them........awesome and powerful article
If they want to revalue their currency, what do you think the first thing they would do...start sucking those 10,000 dinar notes out because those are the only ones they are truly concerned about counterfeiting.

The Abdul Salim in the Iraqi markets when prices are high, they did not fall, which lead to increased inflation rate in Iraq, and continued: that most of the world get the increase in prices for a limited period and then return to the Fares old.
and stressed economic analyst the need to find a package of administrative reforms and accurate studies for the purpose of reducing the inflation rate in Iraq, or reduce it, calling for a role of oversight and follow up the real by the government on the markets.
The deputy governor of the Central Bank of the appearance of Mohammed Saleh in an earlier statement (of the Agency news) that the policy cash and of the Central Bank is able to take the necessary steps and actions necessary to curb inflation happening in Iraq, through the control of the proportion of cash as much as possible and to influence the external value of money, in addition to using some of the policies as a policy the exchange rate or interest in order to reduce the rate.

Joey: WOW....Shabs has told us over and over again...the tool he has to reduce inflation....is to restructure the monetary currency in his country thru the deletion of the zeros and the raising of the value of the Iraqi dinar...
Amazing article.....stop and think about it....
As inflation goes up, their money is worth less and less....if you have someone looking to invest in their country they might think Iraq is in trouble...Shabs really doesn't want that to happen..........Great article.... Many Other articles shared below:
Yukon asks Joey how important she thinks this article is she read at the beginning of the call...
JOEY: VERY IMPORTANT......Isn't it the Roadmap to the RV??
Thats how important it is
They laid it all on the line to us...haven they?
Their whole country right now is thru the banking system.....banking system needs to pump up the private sector so they can have liquid capital in their bank and work in conjunction even with the stock exchange thru investment to grow their country
If you allow inflation to take over and you dont do anything to stop it... it will curb investment ..wont have money to give to the private sector...cant grow the country ...cant RV their currency
its a complete circle......
Yukon asks Joey is she will read the key points one more time.....
This article is probably the most important article along with the one we shared the other night - the one about Iraq getting ready to share their budget with us....because The Budget is the window in the very sole of Iraq....
Joey reads the key points again....it does not get any plainer than this sentence...
"The Central Bank is capable is taking the necessary steps and actions to reduce inflation in Iraq."
Do you really think they are going to shackle Shabibi for very much longer?
The country will redline if they don't do something..they are at a very vulnerable place right now..
Inflation scares them it will reach 10% and they do not want that...they need investors....want to
look attractive to the outside world...they want to stick their foot into the global market,...

Washington transferred the responsibility to monitor the airspace sector of Baghdad to the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority
Quoted by the U.S. Air Force airspace management for the sector of Baghdad to the Civil Aviation Authority in Iraq, so Iraq receives full responsibility for monitoring the traffic within the airspace of the country for the first time since 2003.
The U.S. embassy in Iraq, said in a statement released today, and received "Sumerian News" copy, "The U.S. Air Force had, earlier this month, the transfer of airspace management for the sector of Baghdad to the Civil Aviation Authority in Iraq," indicating that "monitors air traffic Iraqis are now responsible for managing and directing the movement of all aircraft within the airspace in Baghdad, which is the busiest and most complex in the country. "
The embassy said that "this step, receives Iraq fully responsible for the control of traffic within the airspace for the first time since 2003," arguing that it "represents the culmination of the efforts undertaken by both the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Air Force and the Civil Aviation Authority of Iraq, in order to help Iraq the development of self-sufficiency and the system of air traffic control. "
The embassy confirmed that "The decision aims to support economic development in Iraq and its sovereignty under the umbrella of the Strategic Framework Agreement", noting that "This work, which began opening control center the Baghdad area in August 2007, became a step at a steady pace towards the process of transferring responsibility for monitoring Iraqi airspace in fully.

Joey: Vic lets discuss this article and what it really says...and the implications of what it really says
The 1st thing that came to my mind when I read this....If you are really going to send out info about the
2011 budget and you are going to start disbursing monies that have not yet been disbursed......
In 2011 they recd the DFI Funds plus full access to all oil money....
I would assume if you are going to pay out any money to anybody, part of that money would have to go to the citizens..
correct?
Vic says 100% correct
Joey: I also thought....what about the contractors that havent been paid..some of them have waited along time to be paid...some haven't been paid.....when I read this I kept thinking WOW....This article is like holding an RV in your hands....would you really pay the citizens or contractors after you show them the amount of money in this budget and the disbursement of it ...would you pay them in re-revalued currency...
Vic & Joey: Discuss the details in this article..the oil and figures and so much more etc...listen to recording....
Joey: Next is the government....Allawi gets his own section today.....
Commendable rule out an emergency session of the House of Representatives to vote on the security minister

Dani said in an earlier statement (the news) that the security ministries will remain without ministers to the end of the government because there is a trend in the government in comparison to the Arab situation and the challenges of the neighboring countries that it does not appoint any minister of defense because of lack of confidence in the political blocs

looking at a process completed in 2008 and within 3-4 yrs restructure and revalue the curency...which is 2011...
This is a great article.....
When you read articles sometimes they are very misleading...you can skip right over the important...lot of things based on studies.
Shabibi began restructuring the banks in 2006 and they did have a policy about how long it would take...
Remember the counterfeiting article we read that said they were 1 yr late because of counterfeiters...Dinar Fever article.....
the process of restruturing because of them....they were terrified to RV counterfeiters and other neighboring countries....had to really take care of this before they RV their currency....
Dinar is equal to the dollar!

Moving to Iraq sounds like a risky business, but HSBC's James Hogan told John Reynolds he found hard-workers building a brighter future

Amid these surroundings and while investment from consumer, infrastructure, property and oil multinationals have poured billions of dollars into the reconstruction of the country that has seen annual GDP growth of 11%, something as relatively simple as arranging a meeting during his work involving the opening of 16 branches across the country required a lot of advanced planning and orchestration.

Iraq offers options for U.S. troops to stay beyond 2011
(Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said U.S. troops might still be able to stay in Iraq as trainers beyond a 2011 withdrawal date, even though the country's political blocs have rejected giving immunity to any American soldiers.
Maliki last week won backing from Iraq's leaders for U.S. troops to stay on for training, but without the legal immunity demanded by Washington as part of an accord for an American military role in Iraq more than eight years after the invasion.
Maliki told Reuters U.S. troops could be attached to the existing U.S. embassy training mission, or join a broader NATO training group, rather than seek a bilateral deal requiring U.S. immunity that would fail to pass Iraq's parliament.
"Since the need for training exists and all the political blocs acknowledge that, we have a number of choices. Now there is a dialogue between us and the Americans," Maliki said in an interview at his presidential residence in Baghdad.
"We are heading toward securing trainers and experts for the American weapons we purchased, but without immunity and without going to parliament."
Washington had said no training deal could go ahead without U.S. troops receiving similar legal protections they have under the current agreement, which essentially keeps troops under U.S. jurisdiction for certain crimes committed on duty or on base.
It was unclear whether alternatives proposed by Maliki would be acceptable to Washington as U.S. officials have said any training in the field that puts U.S. troops at risk of attack would require the type of protections approved in parliament.
"You could say withdrawal and immunity might be seen negatively, but we and the Americans understand this positively, we understand our two countries cooperate closely," Maliki said.
"We are negotiating on this matter, but as I have said, the most serious part of negotiations is over (legal) cover."
TEST FOR COALITION
The U.S. embassy already has military trainers attached to its Office for Security Cooperation in Iraq, where uniformed military, as attaches, could come under diplomatic protection of the U.S. State Department.
NATO, which now has only 160 staff in Iraq, has a small training mission that will stay through 2013 providing expertise in logistics and policing.
Iraqi lawmakers are discussing an extension of the NATO mission which would allow trainers in many cases to come under their own country's legal jurisdiction for certain crimes.

He added: We are negotiating on this (issue), but also show you now is the most serious negotiations on the provision of legal cover under any title and the rest of the stuff comes in natural contexts. "

Joey: Vic lets discuss this article and what it really says...and the implications of what it really says
The 1st thing that came to my mind when I read this....If you are really going to send out info about the
2011 budget and you are going to start disbursing monies that have not yet been disbursed......
In 2011 they recd the DFI Funds plus full access to all oil money....
I would assume if you are going to pay out any money to anybody, part of that money would have to go to the citizens..
correct?
Vic says 100% correct
Joey: I also thought....what about the contractors that havent been paid..some of them have waited along time to be paid...some haven't been paid.....when I read this I kept thinking WOW....This article is like holding an RV in your hands....would you really pay the citizens or contractors after you show them the amount of money in this budget and the disbursement of it ...would you pay them in re-revalued currency...
Vic & Joey: Discuss the details in this article..the oil and figures and so much more etc...listen to recording....
Joey: Next is the government....Allawi gets his own section today.....
Commendable rule out an emergency session of the House of Representatives to vote on the security minister

Iraq offers options for U.S. troops to stay beyond 2011
(Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said U.S. troops might still be able to stay in Iraq as trainers beyond a 2011 withdrawal date, even though the country's political blocs have rejected giving immunity to any American soldiers.
Maliki last week won backing from Iraq's leaders for U.S. troops to stay on for training, but without the legal immunity demanded by Washington as part of an accord for an American military role in Iraq more than eight years after the invasion.
Maliki told Reuters U.S. troops could be attached to the existing U.S. embassy training mission, or join a broader NATO training group, rather than seek a bilateral deal requiring U.S. immunity that would fail to pass Iraq's parliament.
"Since the need for training exists and all the political blocs acknowledge that, we have a number of choices. Now there is a dialogue between us and the Americans," Maliki said in an interview at his presidential residence in Baghdad.
"We are heading toward securing trainers and experts for the American weapons we purchased, but without immunity and without going to parliament."
Washington had said no training deal could go ahead without U.S. troops receiving similar legal protections they have under the current agreement, which essentially keeps troops under U.S. jurisdiction for certain crimes committed on duty or on base.
It was unclear whether alternatives proposed by Maliki would be acceptable to Washington as U.S. officials have said any training in the field that puts U.S. troops at risk of attack would require the type of protections approved in parliament.
"You could say withdrawal and immunity might be seen negatively, but we and the Americans understand this positively, we understand our two countries cooperate closely," Maliki said.
"We are negotiating on this matter, but as I have said, the most serious part of negotiations is over (legal) cover."
TEST FOR COALITION
The U.S. embassy already has military trainers attached to its Office for Security Cooperation in Iraq, where uniformed military, as attaches, could come under diplomatic protection of the U.S. State Department.
NATO, which now has only 160 staff in Iraq, has a small training mission that will stay through 2013 providing expertise in logistics and policing.
Iraqi lawmakers are discussing an extension of the NATO mission which would allow trainers in many cases to come under their own country's legal jurisdiction for certain crimes.

Perspective on Iraq’s private banks by IraqiXchange
Summary: With inflation stabilized, oil production up and government encouragement to become better capitalized, private banks are drawing potential foreign investment partners because they are positioned for success in Iraq’s post-war economy.
Baghdad – A resurgent oil economy, projected GDP growth at more than 12 percent and a record level of foreign investment point to signs that the private banking industry in Iraq is looking at substantial growth, a new report on Iraqi banking says.
The groundbreaking analysis, conducted by Ahmad Saleh, senior research analyst at IraqiXchange, also indicates that for the first time in the modern era, bank deposits in Iraq accounted for more than half of the money supply.
“Iraq’s economy is growing out of its wartime difficulties quickly and transitioning from a centralized economy to one that is market-based,” says Saleh, an Iraq native and veteran North American banking analyst.
“With credit accounting for more than one-third of bank revenue and deposits at record levels, our analysis identifies attractive and specific investment opportunities in the Iraqi banking sector,” Saleh says.
HSBC of London, Qatar National Bank and National Bank of Kuwait are among those with stakes in Iraqi banks, and more financial institutions are following.
“We are very optimistic about Iraq over the next three to five years,”says Dennis Flannery, Citi’s country head for Iraq and a former U.S. financial attaché who previously worked at the World Bank and Bank of America. “Our feeling is that good progress is being made, and we expect to see really significant increases in the GDP in coming years — really significant.”
The Middle East and Africa banking sector is second only to Asia’s in growth potential, according to the 2011 Barclays Corporate Global Banking Survey of 200 top banking and insurance services executives.
Influenced by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the Iraq government is phasing in an increased capitalization requirement for all banks.
”The hope,” Emirates Bank investment strategist Irfan Chaudhry tells IraqiXchange, “is that new capital requirements will bring consolidation, increased investment and more interest from foreign banks.”

All of these policies, mechanisms and procedures that have emerged from, the Central Bank keen to raise the volume of cash reserves in proportion to the force required for the local currency, which saw the stages and Ford's retreat, the breaking point because of the economic policies of blundering and indiscriminate past and that made a big difference between the Iraqi economy is collapsing and global economies other competitor countries, particularly Iraq's production and export of oil.
The central bank fights on in place reserves on two fronts: First, is trying hard to raise the volume of foreign exchange reserves, and the other in pursuit of the government to borrow from the reserve under the rationale for dealing with the deficit made in the annual budgets or finance strategic projects as projects of electricity, where the segment of those who call themselves Balaguetsadaan calling on the public to borrow from the cash reserve and accuse the Central Bank of exaggerating the risk expressed by if they were borrowing from the cash reserve, but the insistence of the Central and persistence on his position is based according to the opinion of many observers inside and outside Iraq, and even the opinion of other international organizations such as the IMF and World Bank in terms of economic policy, the right to maintain the stability of the currency and Rsantha and rival to the value of other currencies, as we see that the position of the CBI stems from the ability to extrapolate things and follow the procedures and ways to deal with fluctuations that may occur in the economic landscape, accounting for currency and the monetary policy, one of the most important pillars of stability financial and monetary stability and then economic.

Experts stress need for the banking system to a new structure
The whole number of experts on the urgent need for re-evaluation of the banking system in both its public and private sectors and restructuring, at the time of moving necessary to confirm the independence of the central bank authority cash in the country. He said economic expert Dr Majid picture: There are two main axes in the restructuring of the banks first,
Restructuring of the Rafidain and Rashid, at the same time restructuring the supervisory body in the central bank carries out supervision on the work of banks, while the second axis is the issue the instructions required for the development of banking business. He added that the recommendations of the Basel Committee on banking sector committed by the Iraqi Central Bank through the issuance of regulations, which included government and private banks alike, but the unfortunate thing is that these regulations delayed issuance of the years 2008 to 2011, which includes consulting and other procedures that have been published in the Official Gazette.
He said the picture that there is a problem in the process of making such regulations at the present time there is a difference between regulations existing between the potential of these banks and the supervisory organ of the Central Bank, and thus there is a need to regulate these regulations, and put the right foundations in dealing with banks with the availability of modern technology, indicating that without the presence of these developments, there will be no action in these regulations, since the basic problem in the use of modern technology in order to reach management or control of susceptibility susceptibility to the work of banks, and will not happen without the development of concrete in the banking business.
He pointed out the picture that the basic problem is that the central bank comes to him information in a month or two months to be able to release the budgets for the banks, which means that there is a need for a period of six months to monitor the performance of banks, a topic important to study what happens during the previous period, as can technological development to provide preliminary information for any topic in the same moment, through which monitor the performance of banks in order to apply the policy needed banking, which requires a move towards the application of modern means of monitoring the performance of banks and the Central Bank, which functions not related to the bank alone, but the World Bank as well as to restructure the banks governmental and civil society in Iraq.
For his part, said Dr. Falah Athwaina professor of economics at the University of Mustansiriya The quest to maintain the domestic price and strengthen the financial system stable and competitive, according to the laws of the Central Bank supports the promotion of sustainable growth and prosperity in Iraq, and that the issue of independence of the Central Bank as a central subject of the economic policy of public and how assume its responsibilities defined by law.
He added that under the study of monetary policy of the central banks in the countries of the world, clear set of standards that prevail in specific circumstances, some of the key variables against which specifies that the central bank independent or otherwise, and those standards the amount of time to set the governor and the party that you set or change , the standard the other is the formulation of monetary policy, and the fact that the central bank is responsible for drafting or there is a role for the Ministry of Finance or the ministries and other institutions with a role, and the third criterion is to determine the objectives of monetary policy and the selected bank or the other.
He said the standard the other is the stability of government, since many of the professionals in regard monetary preparing this axis, or the standard critical point, which gave him 50%, if we go back to the other criteria, we find that the standard change the conservative 20% of the set of criteria other While in Iraq is the standard rate of 15% as a contribution to the legislative authority of the Central Bank Board of Directors in the appointment of the Governor.
He pointed out that the percentage of the standard setting monetary policy in Iraq, amounting to 8%, while the actual proportion of 15% and the subordination of the Central Bank of the economic policies of other, as for the standard stability of the government and through which we recognize the strength of the monetary authority, monetary policy and the implementation of procedures in Iraq, amounting 46% of the 50%, while the gross proceeds of 78%, the ratio is high, according to the determinants of monetary policy, especially for the period after 2003, as they were not before that time the lowest elements of monetary policy such as those present.
, As each ministry is currently working on its own without coordination with other ministries and relevant authorities in the common areas.

Perspective on Iraq’s private banks by IraqiXchange
Summary: With inflation stabilized, oil production up and government encouragement to become better capitalized, private banks are drawing potential foreign investment partners because they are positioned for success in Iraq’s post-war economy.
Baghdad – A resurgent oil economy, projected GDP growth at more than 12 percent and a record level of foreign investment point to signs that the private banking industry in Iraq is looking at substantial growth, a new report on Iraqi banking says.
The groundbreaking analysis, conducted by Ahmad Saleh, senior research analyst at IraqiXchange, also indicates that for the first time in the modern era, bank deposits in Iraq accounted for more than half of the money supply.
“Iraq’s economy is growing out of its wartime difficulties quickly and transitioning from a centralized economy to one that is market-based,” says Saleh, an Iraq native and veteran North American banking analyst.
“With credit accounting for more than one-third of bank revenue and deposits at record levels, our analysis identifies attractive and specific investment opportunities in the Iraqi banking sector,” Saleh says.
HSBC of London, Qatar National Bank and National Bank of Kuwait are among those with stakes in Iraqi banks, and more financial institutions are following.
“We are very optimistic about Iraq over the next three to five years,”says Dennis Flannery, Citi’s country head for Iraq and a former U.S. financial attaché who previously worked at the World Bank and Bank of America. “Our feeling is that good progress is being made, and we expect to see really significant increases in the GDP in coming years — really significant.”
The Middle East and Africa banking sector is second only to Asia’s in growth potential, according to the 2011 Barclays Corporate Global Banking Survey of 200 top banking and insurance services executives.
Influenced by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the Iraq government is phasing in an increased capitalization requirement for all banks.
”The hope,” Emirates Bank investment strategist Irfan Chaudhry tells IraqiXchange, “is that new capital requirements will bring consolidation, increased investment and more interest from foreign banks.”

Economics: cash reserve .. Borrowing, and the negative
Abbas Ghalibi
The foreign exchange reserves were real supportive and sober for the local currency, where all countries are trying to raise this reserve to cover and be conservative on the currency of the decay in the abyss of the collapse of the exchange rate off the foreign currency.
And sought the Iraqi Central Bank strives to raise the level of foreign exchange reserves during the past seven years closer to the road from the banks of the 70 billion dollars.
Deposited in many banks in the world sober, at the time maintained the central bank through its monetary policy hard-line on the Iraqi dinar exchange rate trend of foreign currencies, using tools other cash properly somehow led to the decline is striking in the levels of inflation, where you talk to government figures of the Ministry of Planning decrease of 35% in 2004 to less than 3% during the year 2010, indicates the safety and direction of monetary policy to curb inflation and then make it move in the spaces of transition economy aspiring to the adoption of market mechanisms.
This as well as daily public auction for the sale of foreign currency, which was a source to provide optimal cover for the provision of adequate funds for foreign trade and the process of trade, particularly for the private sector which was more moving within the area of his handling of the dollar.
All of these policies, mechanisms and procedures that have emerged from, the Central Bank keen to raise the volume of cash reserves in proportion to the force required for the local currency, which saw the stages and Ford's retreat, the breaking point because of the economic policies of blundering and indiscriminate past and that made a big difference between the Iraqi economy is collapsing and global economies other competitor countries, particularly Iraq's production and export of oil.
The central bank fights on in place reserves on two fronts: First, is trying hard to raise the volume of foreign exchange reserves, and the other in pursuit of the government to borrow from the reserve under the rationale for dealing with the deficit made in the annual budgets or finance strategic projects as projects of electricity, where the segment of those who call themselves Balaguetsadaan calling on the public to borrow from the cash reserve and accuse the Central Bank of exaggerating the risk expressed by if they were borrowing from the cash reserve, but the insistence of the Central and persistence on his position is based according to the opinion of many observers inside and outside Iraq, and even the opinion of other international organizations such as the IMF and World Bank in terms of economic policy, the right to maintain the stability of the currency and Rsantha and rival to the value of other currencies, as we see that the position of the CBI stems from the ability to extrapolate things and follow the procedures and ways to deal with fluctuations that may occur in the economic landscape, accounting for currency and the monetary policy, one of the most important pillars of stability financial and monetary stability and then economic.

Experts stress need for the banking system to a new structure
The whole number of experts on the urgent need for re-evaluation of the banking system in both its public and private sectors and restructuring, at the time of moving necessary to confirm the independence of the central bank authority cash in the country. He said economic expert Dr Majid picture: There are two main axes in the restructuring of the banks first,
Restructuring of the Rafidain and Rashid, at the same time restructuring the supervisory body in the central bank carries out supervision on the work of banks, while the second axis is the issue the instructions required for the development of banking business. He added that the recommendations of the Basel Committee on banking sector committed by the Iraqi Central Bank through the issuance of regulations, which included government and private banks alike, but the unfortunate thing is that these regulations delayed issuance of the years 2008 to 2011, which includes consulting and other procedures that have been published in the Official Gazette.
He said the picture that there is a problem in the process of making such regulations at the present time there is a difference between regulations existing between the potential of these banks and the supervisory organ of the Central Bank, and thus there is a need to regulate these regulations, and put the right foundations in dealing with banks with the availability of modern technology, indicating that without the presence of these developments, there will be no action in these regulations, since the basic problem in the use of modern technology in order to reach management or control of susceptibility susceptibility to the work of banks, and will not happen without the development of concrete in the banking business.
He pointed out the picture that the basic problem is that the central bank comes to him information in a month or two months to be able to release the budgets for the banks, which means that there is a need for a period of six months to monitor the performance of banks, a topic important to study what happens during the previous period, as can technological development to provide preliminary information for any topic in the same moment, through which monitor the performance of banks in order to apply the policy needed banking, which requires a move towards the application of modern means of monitoring the performance of banks and the Central Bank, which functions not related to the bank alone, but the World Bank as well as to restructure the banks governmental and civil society in Iraq.
For his part, said Dr. Falah Athwaina professor of economics at the University of Mustansiriya The quest to maintain the domestic price and strengthen the financial system stable and competitive, according to the laws of the Central Bank supports the promotion of sustainable growth and prosperity in Iraq, and that the issue of independence of the Central Bank as a central subject of the economic policy of public and how assume its responsibilities defined by law.
He added that under the study of monetary policy of the central banks in the countries of the world, clear set of standards that prevail in specific circumstances, some of the key variables against which specifies that the central bank independent or otherwise, and those standards the amount of time to set the governor and the party that you set or change , the standard the other is the formulation of monetary policy, and the fact that the central bank is responsible for drafting or there is a role for the Ministry of Finance or the ministries and other institutions with a role, and the third criterion is to determine the objectives of monetary policy and the selected bank or the other.
He said the standard the other is the stability of government, since many of the professionals in regard monetary preparing this axis, or the standard critical point, which gave him 50%, if we go back to the other criteria, we find that the standard change the conservative 20% of the set of criteria other While in Iraq is the standard rate of 15% as a contribution to the legislative authority of the Central Bank Board of Directors in the appointment of the Governor.
He pointed out that the percentage of the standard setting monetary policy in Iraq, amounting to 8%, while the actual proportion of 15% and the subordination of the Central Bank of the economic policies of other, as for the standard stability of the government and through which we recognize the strength of the monetary authority, monetary policy and the implementation of procedures in Iraq, amounting 46% of the 50%, while the gross proceeds of 78%, the ratio is high, according to the determinants of monetary policy, especially for the period after 2003, as they were not before that time the lowest elements of monetary policy such as those present.
, As each ministry is currently working on its own without coordination with other ministries and relevant authorities in the common areas.

Kurdish delegation satisfied after first round of talks
Erbil, Oct. 6 (AKnews) - After a first round of talks yesterday, Kurdish politicians who were sent to Baghdad to negotiate the tensions between the Kurdistan Region Government (KRG) and the federal government were satisfied with the outcome so far.
Although no agreements have been made yet, all the parties once more voiced their support for Kurdish demands, according to Yasin Hasan, MP from the Kurdistan Islamic Group (KIG) and member of the delegation.
"The meetings were positive and are proceeding in a brotherhood mode," Hasan said.
The long-postponed delegation, consisting of Fuad Hussein, head of the Kurdistan Presidential Office, Mala Bakhtiyar, a senior politburo member from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), and Fadhel Mirani, secretary for Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), arrived in Baghdad on Tuesday. Kurdish politicians joined them in Baghdad.
So far, they only met with Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, the representatives of the Islamic Supreme Council (ISCI), the Fadhila Party and the Sadr Current.
The tensions between Baghdad and Erbil are sparked by a list of demands that the Kurds believe they are entitled to after they lent their support to Prime Minister al-Maliki after the last election: the integration of the Kurdish defense forces (the Peshmarga) into the Iraqi army, paid for by the Iraqi government; drafting a new hydrocarbon law; and the implementation of Article 140 into the Iraqi constitution -- which authorizes payments to Kurds who were forced from their homes under Saddam Hussein, a comprehensive census of ethnic groups and a referendum to decide if disputed areas should fall under the control of Kurdistan Regional Government.
Tension rose recently when the Kurds accused the federal government of passing a draft law without taking the Kurdish opinion into consideration.
On the other hand, Baghdad criticized Erbil for signing contracts with international oil companies without the consent of the federal Oil Ministry.
Last week, Maliki supposedly gave his approval for all Kurdish demands, except one to finance the Kurdish Army, or Peshmarga, as part of the federal defense budget, according to Aref Tayfur, second deputy speaker of parliament and member of the Kurdish Blocs Coalition.
However, this was not the long awaited solution for the dispute, since Tayfur also claimed that Maliki's only condition was that the demands were not contrary to the constitution. This has always been Maliki's standpoint.

As presented Barzani another initiative to resolve the political crisis in September / September include the formation of a committee, consisting of 8 to 12 representatives of the political blocs to start talks on forming a government anticipated and work to resolve outstanding differences, as well as meetings of the expanded leaders to resolve the issue of the three presidencies.
And seek the three main blocs of the National Alliance, and the Iraqi List, and the Kurdistan Alliance, to reach consensus on many points that are still a matter of political controversy.
The leaders of political blocs to a meeting yesterday at the Peace Palace in Baghdad under the auspices of President Jalal Talabani was allocated to take a unified stance on the survival of U.S. trainers after 2011.
The meeting agreed with the exception of the Sadrist movement against the U.S. presence in Iraq to the survival of American trainers in Iraq, a condition not to grant legal immunity.
He did not touch the political leaders at their meeting yesterday to discuss the contentious issues between the central government and Kurdistan Regional Government and the files of national partnership in political decision-making demanded by Allawi's list.
A spokesman for the movement Dalimy Hadi, told the Kurdish news agency (Rn), that "there are positive signals from the other side of the concept of national partnership and the implementation of Arbil."
And repeatedly accuses the Iraqi List, a coalition of state law, led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to work on procrastination agreements Erbil, which was formed and fabricated by the current government.
Dalimy said "there is an intention to hold a meeting of leaders of political blocs, according to Ibgna of President Jalal Talabani and the U.S. side to examine the files of internal political relationship."
The dispute between Iraq and the rule of law rejecting the enactment of the Strategic Council policies for fear of turning to the legislative council and an executive at the same time may create a rift in the government of Maliki.
Maliki says that Allawi has become through his people, "undesirable" in the political process in which a position that reflects the depth of disagreement between the two sides.
But Allawi, the position of a critic of the Maliki government is strong after the entry of the Kurds in the crisis with Baghdad because of the oil and gas law controversial.

Kuwait Times: Maliki turned the file (Port Mubarak) and recognize the right of establishment in Kuwait
05/10/2011 15:49
Baghdad / Orr News
Kuwaiti newspaper said that the Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki rolled File object to the "port" Mubarak acknowledged the right of Kuwait in its creation. She said that Maliki adopted what I got out of the Iraqi committee headed by the Chief is the second of his advisers put on her return from Kuwait, who is serving her not to cause damage to the port, the Iraqi interests, in the words of the newspaper.
The newspaper, however: But this report remains fraught semi-secrecy and lack of focus by the media or publicly traded among most Iraqi politicians involved. She added: "insiders attributed this to the internal situation of Iraq Mounacfat packaged."
The newspaper added that what can not be ignored in this regard is the need to point out that some of the media in each of the two countries have drifted towards the docks escalation, enhanced ill-considered remarks was launched by some politicians.
And accused the Kuwait Times - which was given relationship "luxury" with the former regime, and has good links to your intelligence, "Iraqi forces" and described it as "the still tight to the past in an attempt to exploit the event and drafted by identification with the aggressive tendency, which was adopted by the former Iraqi regime pretexts The prosecutors and the national and sovereign. "
She said that this voice stretched to the trend has found its echo in terms of does not count the other parties do not hesitate to follow the agenda related to the regional accounts abroad, who find in the strained relationship between Baghdad and Kuwait a way to achieve its own interests is never associated with the interests of the two countries neighbors.
The Osdt media, Kuwaiti and Iraqi, convulsive great service to the public and interested parties eager to ring the wedge and the sustainability of the dispute between the two countries. But "the Kuwaiti newspaper" I tried to throw sand in the eyes of "a whiff of optimism" in which she said: you can not force seeking to inflame the dispute or difference between Iraq and Kuwait to achieve their goals at all. And claimed that the Iraqi government predominantly, and the Iraqi parliament overwhelmingly, may Rca convinced that the port of Kuwait does not harm the interests of Iraq, is no longer in the direction opposite the present time the ability to shake this conviction.
I went the newspaper, saying the Iraqi letter clear after this report had been received practically the Kuwaiti side of the disappearance of the sound that was called on Kuwait to stop work at the port, which means acceptance to proceed with the establishment of Iraq without objection. The paper adds: here evokes many of the politicians stand Maliki has taken with the Iranian side during his term the former government, when the forces occupied Iranian oil wells in the area of "loose change" border, where the condition of al-Maliki at the time when he met the Iranian ambassador to Baghdad, not to hold any bilateral dialogue between the two countries before the withdrawal of Iranian troops from the well of oil, has already pulled out. And hence - says Times - the Maliki's call to Kuwait to stop business in the port of Mubarak Al-Kabeer pending the facts of the committee, which was sent to Kuwait, could not have to fall for it (ie the call midwife for escalation) but for the conviction, including the availability of its data submitted by the Committee in do not cause this port in damage to the Iraqi side. The newspaper concluded, "threatening lining," saying: that some people in Kuwait who think quietly, especially from politicians, influential, they see that Iraq has made considerable progress at the United Nations in terms of raising the "Chapter VII" for Iraqi withers, leaving only the things that have not been resolved yet with the Kuwaiti side, which calls not to be drawn behind the wills that seek to put sticks in the wheel of the bilateral relationship between the Iraqi and Kuwaiti sides.

Experts: plans to raise Iraqi oil production will clash with the OPEC controls
Posted: October 5, 2011 Baghdad, October 5 / October (Rn) – Iraq seeks to raise its production of crude oil to about 12 million barrels per day by 2017 after it concluded contracts with international energy companies to develop 11 oil fields discovered untapped through three rounds of licenses.
Regardless of the access of production to the stated goal, the Iraqi experts in the field of oil development say that these plans will collide in the future actions of OPEC that is part of Iraq in its membership.
He says a member of the Transparency Initiative for Energy Jalal Yasiri Kurdistan News Agency (Rn) that “the lifting of oil production is the internal of Iraq determined by the political oil higher, but the export of more than 3 million barrels per day, will collide with the political OPEC and procedures in the discharge of crude oil to world markets.”
It is believed that “Iraq needs to set up a supreme committee comprising experts and technicians assigned by the ministry to review policy and routing oil to absorb the global market for crude oil of Iraq.”
Believes that “no fear of falling oil prices to below $ 90 a barrel because of the turmoil in the countries of the region, at least in the next six months.”
The current production of Iraq, about 2.7 to 2.8 million barrels per day of crude oil, and relies on imports to cover the financial budget by up to 95 per cent.
Iraq expects to increase its production to three million bpd by the end of this year and will add 500 thousand to a million additional barrels a day next year.
The director of the Iraqi Center for Studies of oil Jihad Silverline (Rn) that “Iraq is unable to reach production to 3 million barrels per day, even if they put stents in the port of al-Amaya export and export, which accommodate an additional 900 thousand barrels.”
He adds that “the development of the pillars of export is important in increasing oil exports, but will fail to provide a line carrier to Syria because the Syrian government’s preoccupation with internal political turmoil.”
It is expected to begin operation of Iraq and one of three new ports for the export of oil in the Gulf in the first January in the development of a major effort to build export capacity for the disposal of increased production from the southern oil fields.
He expected Iraq initially increase production capacity to 12 million barrels per day by 2017, but Oil Minister Abdul-Karim and coffee, said recently that the level of eight to 8.5 million barrels per day will be the appropriate target more, and that the period required to achieve this may extend to 13 or 14 years.
Silverline believes that “if the price of oil down to below $ 85 a barrel, it would be difficult to manage the 2012 budget deficit the government plans to increase the prices of processed oil.”
Government figures indicate that Iraq’s budget for next year will amount to 131 trillion Iraqi dinars (about $ 112 billion), up 36% from the current year budget and a deficit of 23.3 trillion Iraqi dinars (20 billion dollars).
The government says the deficit will be met from cash retained from the current year budget 2011 is internal and external borrowing and the rate of savings is expected to increase selling prices or increased oil production or borrowing from the IMF and World Bank.
He said Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister for Energy, Hussain al-Shahristani said on Wednesday that it would be “difficult” to accept the revelation of world oil prices from $ 90 a barrel, in a sign that the decline in prices began to cause concern to some members of OPEC.
He sees the former overalls oil and branch manager Rene Latte world’s oil in Baghdad Baha satisfied that “the Oil Ministry to coordinate on a daily basis with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and give its plan to raise production and exports to OPEC for information and does not have any threat to the inability of OPEC to sell issued by Iraq’s oil with the end of this year. “
He says (Rn) that “the political oil in Iraq goes well and faced any legal concerns or technical, but need constant review and development of the infrastructure of oil fields and provide safety for their workers, especially those entered into licensing rounds, three.”
The OPEC basket includes 12 types of crude oil is a mixture deserts of Algeria, Girassol Angolans and Iranian Heavy, Basra Light Iraqi crude export Kuwaiti Sidr Libya and Bonnie light Nigerian crude maritime country and Arab Light Saudi Murban UAE and Mary from Venezuela and Oriente from Ecuador.

Al Qaeda in Iraq leader placed on US terrorist listAFP October 4, 2011 (3 days ago)
Abu Du'a has been blamed for a recent attack on Baghdad's Umm al-Qura mosque which killed 28 people. - AFP (File Photo)
WASHINGTON: The United States on Tuesday put the alleged leader of al Qaeda in Iraq on its special anti-terror blacklist and placed a dollar 10 million bounty on his head.
Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri, also known as Abu Du’a, was added to a US list of “specially designated global terrorists” for his role as a top leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, the State Department said.
“This designation plays a critical role in our fight against terrorism and is an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to abandon terrorism,” a statement said.
In a statement after the death earlier this year of al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden, Abu Du’a threatened violent retaliation, and claimed responsibility for attacks that have left scores of people dead and wounded in Iraq.
The US government said Abu Du’a is responsible for managing and directing large scale terror operations in Iraq, including an August 28, 2011 attack on the Umm al-Qura mosque in Baghdad which killed prominent Sunni lawmaker Khalid al-Fahdawi.
He has vowed to commit many more acts of mass violence, US officials said, including raids, suicide attacks, roadside bombs and small arms attacks in all cities and rural areas across Iraq.
The State Department action includes a prohibition against knowingly providing material support or resources to, or engaging in other transactions with him. It also freezes of any property or interests in property in the United States.
The US government also is offering a dollar 10 million reward for information that leads to Abu Du’a's capture.

Economic expert sword Hilfi said that the process of deletion of zeros include elements of success in more than one side, but the elements of failure are many, pointing out that the central bank today is required to determine the odds of success and failure in this process, indicating that Once we are able to change the process must begin the Central Bank to determine the rate of the dinar against the dollar, after a reduction of the currency and the deletion of zeros it becomes a dollar dinars? Is that the central bank supports it first.
Technical specifications developed
He said in an interview (morning) that the process of deletion of zeros must be accompanied by a supporting stability of the security for the new currency that will be printed within the specifications of advanced technology.
Here is a must have the security capabilities that can prevent the forgery of this process, which forces the relevant authorities to study this subject with extreme precision, as we need technical support in the subject of switching the currency equivalent of a major operation in this size.
Processors
He pointed to the existence of a large mass of cash in the country identified by the Central Bank, but the reduction is not a final solution to address this cluster and the resulting negative on the economy.
Indicating that countries that adopt this approach to not be in front of solutions, other secondary, and that this process should be preceded by a processor number and after the complete phase processors States enter the stage of the deletion of zeros, saying we did not enter the stage of processors, including the system of electronic payment and clearing system.
These systems are done recently in Iraq, which help to contain inflation, mass cash surplus in the markets and towed to the banks, which in turn drive permits or cards used by citizens of shopping anywhere, and it is these regimes to withdraw liquidity from the domestic market and the citizen and restored to incubators banking, and that these banks are pumping liquidity by the major economic projects, explaining that the application of these systems, we see the results after two or three years, and that this stage must be accompanied by an educational program directed to segments of the society shows the importance of advanced banking technology in the local economy.
Hilfi saying goes: that means the withdrawal of liquidity, which also said electronic clearing system, which managed the private banking sector Ptivh threatened failure of the insistence of the banking sector on the government not to use it and do not know what reason, and this confirms that the challenges are great in front of the application of this process.
The expert pointed out the need to provide supplies necessary for the withdrawal of liquidity in order to achieve the desired success in changing the currency and the deletion of zeros.
Impact on investment
He Hilfi saying: that the country began receiving foreign investments directly benefiting from the security and stability of relative, as well as Machdth area of events, led the investment process to go to Iraq, and that changing the process will carry a significant impact in the form of the local economy, which confuses the reality of investment business because it knows the economy in the coming period, and that too much talk on this side Born imbalance in the investor went to Iraq. He called for the need to review before adopting this approach the process of removing the zeros that relate to the rights of citizens and the economy in general.
Five years
Increased Hilfi saying that the reality of the Iraqi economy needs to five years to build this step, where the time will be more stable in all fields of productivity.
But today it can not be reduced to the process without examining the economic reality and political security. He said, for example, that one has a (100) million dinars, was to adopt a resolution to delete the zeros will have two options either going to turn it into another constant, a dollar will be equal to (300.38) thousand dollars, or will be reduced to the process and becomes the amount (100) thousand dinars, but How much is equal to the dinar against the dollar, and returned to confirm that the operation is correct and successful, but not at this time.

Fears of manipulation in the Iraqi economy while changing the currency and the lifting of the zeroes
On: Wednesday 10/05/2011 19:23
Craftsmen in print: fraud may be only for the purpose of sabotage can not be achieved in Iraq
BAGHDAD - Sharifi Persia
In 2013 will see Iraq, according to observers, the process is of great economic delete three zeros and the replacement of the current currency traded Iraqis after 2003.
Committees, organizations and government figures and non-governmental organizations warned of the process and indicated that they will see a wide range of corruption after the introduction of the altered and forged new.
Iraqi craftsmen in the printing industry played down the significance of such information and indicated that Iraq or even the Middle East are not able to counterfeiting Bmousvat high and the process of fraud that took place will be open and clear, even for someone simple and can distinguish the original from the counterfeit currency.
He said peace Alaidana, owner of OS for printing and publishing and advertising in Basra, in an interview (citizen) that «the modern techniques of fraud did not enter Iraq, nor even to neighboring countries and that the cost of counterfeit currency will be higher than the value of cash in the market therefore ruled that it« he said, adding that »quality of paper used in the Iraqi currency is not available and there is the impossibility to get it Vhoogali price so you will not benefit from the want of fraud, we find that most of the counterfeit currency is the U.S. dollar or the euro (the currency of the European Union) in which the value dissuade them very high fill the cost of the fraud, so I think that fraud would be obtained if only to sabotage «
For his part, Haidar al-Moussawi, the owner of Press imagination in Baghdad, said that «the dough's currency is not available and expensive either printing techniques are available, so we find that the Iraqi currency a few fraud« He added that »the interest of material from the process is feasible, but there may be gangs or states you want to hit the rigging of the process of the country's economy and this may be the main reason of the receipt of certain information to the competent authorities according to given antibiotic drops gangs want to make a big fraud and I think that this is an event that one who stands behind him and states, not individuals «

It is worth mentioning that the central bank had earlier announced his intention to replace the currency after you delete the zeros of them, prompting many observers of economic affairs to the warnings of this process, seeing it as damaging to the Iraqi economy.

Delete the zeros of the draft is coming!
06/10/2011
Yasser Mutawalli
Raging debate on a draft resolution to delete the zeros from the currency and change with the consensus of economists on the importance and timing is the cause of controversy. While heading the Iraqi Central Bank to prepare for the promotion of this resolution in accordance with the requirements of persuading citizens and make them understand Bamadaminh face at the same time a number of criticisms launched from the challenges he sees the owners of the objection as essential and must be taking into account the rationales
Point of the objection see in the circumstances it is not conducive to such a measure at this time in particular of non-political and economic stability, which justify the mob's currency from the investment of these circumstances, including voiding the decision of the substance and goals and what makes matters worse, referring to cases of fraud expected it are not given way to achieve the goals of change in the treatment of inflation and other, not to mention the great social problems that may result in the lack of awareness of large segments of the community content of the resolution and the real value of cash and not affected by the change. In the eyes of the central need to move a campaign of awareness and guidance on the mitigation of the problems expected as a result of lack of understanding, and wonder to what extent the wait and we believe that three years may be sufficient for the legislation and proceed with its implementation, stressing the inevitability of change. Agreed on its importance and about the perceptions and the center of the objections you find Central past in the implementation of plan expected to last for three years at least. One of the proceeds of the objections brought to my attention when noted economist said there are flaws in some of the requirements of the requirements to be met by referring to the positive results of the process of removing the zeros and change the currency in order to pull the cluster large cash from circulation, but in contrast raised the subject of great importance when he referred to non-completion of procedures mechanization banking (electronic clearing) that contribute a lot in the process of withdrawing cash from circulation without significant damage. This mechanism universally agreed and imposed by the central banking sector carried out by private banks, and lagged by government banks, which pay Executive Director of the Association of private banks to warn that e-clearing project is threatened with failure because of the insistence of the government banks are not implemented, the largest depositor of the instruments. This challenge reflects the intersection large in the proceedings of the relevant departments that are supposed to be the main factor in resolving the challenges and facilitate the implementation of the draft resolution aimed at withdrawing the monetary bloc, seen above that this controversy by means of the press and media economists is very useful in the detection and diagnosis of the strengths and weaknesses of any economic decision with full transparency and disclosure and that is what drives us to repeat the call for the need to satisfy any bill that economic discussion before it is approved to overcome the mistakes and challenges, This confirms the importance of prayers are continuing to establish the economic council of experts economy the task of the study and analysis and evaluation of projects of economic decisions.
And thus dissociate the partial solutions through press releases and media that Atkhalo of errors, especially in the handling and dealing with the assessment decisions vocabulary devoid sometimes fitness of words to criticize the decisions, because the solution to the Ekman shortening others, but lies in the discussions quiet leading up to the mature economic decisions sound and successful and meaningful, and the bottom line, the project is coming to the deletion of zeros Amehal ripening and we have less losses.

The government treated the private sector like a baby
On: Wednesday 10/05/2011 17:28
Liberalization of the private sector ... Guardianship or partnership? Lapid Jalal al-Hanafi I will assume that the title of this article that began with (Edit the private sector) is to identify appropriate to discuss the form of the appropriate relationship that should be drafted between the State as the biggest investor in the Iraqi market, and the private sector as not occupy only the proportions of simple investments market as a result of uncertain because of legal system has been besieged and haunted is it his breath, and by the way, I would like to emphasize that the process of formulating any kind of relationship does not depend on the will of self-Pure, but there is not necessarily objective data determine the general trends of this relationship. is known as the long domination of the state on the economy and the Iraqi market for decades began with the establishment of the modern state in 1921 until the present day, interspersed with numerous attempts by the private sector of which failed, including the successful establish a genuine partnership with the state are offset by positive steps and sometimes negative in times violent again by the state to strengthen this partnership. I governments consistently in Iraq since 1958, the year that stopped the natural growth of the private sector, particularly industrial him, has been to treat the private sector and to talk about it like a small child has not completed its growth, sometimes, the other like a monster rough intends to swallow everything and everybody, in both cases the result is always the one They caution, hesitation and doubt, each time requiring the opening to the private sector .. The national economy is suffering from a serious imbalances is unilateralism chronic production and the soaring consumption at the expense of production and development mole in addition to the suspension of all production lines other except the line of oil production, let alone plankton Others such as corruption and financial obligations of the huge involving the general budget, etc., requires a conscious objective of the state to adopt the mentality of partnership instead of custody path guaranteed to win the partners and to achieve economic and social benefits expected as a result of an alliance with the private sector in the process of organizing and restructuring the Iraqi economy, no state today has sufficient privileges or the ability to play the role of the father of the College sponsor the movement of national economic activity as it did in the past or as it was just the same Sometimes it can do, Vllabuh price as it is known. The private sector, especially manufacturing a foreign investment of it, has today the capacity of the task in the field of production and marketing of technical expertise and management of modern scientific-based profitability and efficiency, and advanced technology not to mention the reputation market, which has some branches in international financial markets, qualifies him to lead productive sectors Several national parked today or paralyzed by the financial deficit and the aging of the administrative system and the difficulty to meet modern technology experienced by the public sector slim build aging, irrespective of the identity of the statements that appear here and there, telltale ratios readiness of the private sector, efficiency and competency and eligibility, or warning of his intentions and ambitions, calling for Audit prolonged before the award of any responsibility to contribute to the management of the economy and production in Iraq, to the last of that list that address lack of confidence, the State must be aware that the process of dealing with the need for the private sector, both local and non-local is not a luxury or a gift offered, but it is historical necessity does not defer only to some disruption in the march of history and a further deterioration in the process of national economic development. more clearly, must be recognized that the state of today is not in appropriate locations for the chosen the between to open up to the private sector or not, with the reality of limited oil production, which is the backbone of the overall GDP and controlled imports a set of international benefits, and also with a massive shortfall in the budget that are not in accordance with the feasibility studies, and closing is not subject to final accounts, in addition to loss of control of the college dropouts Financial huge, which threatens to actually collapse the public sector .. All this does not make the State in a completely stable to impose conditions and its control over other economic partners in order to remove Iraq's economy from its crisis of chronic, and under the illusion primiparous Iraqi market and the thirst of investors to it, it can be true only in the light of the engagement objective which takes into account the interests of all parties alike. the State should determine the priorities in the process of solving the problems of community economic development, and after to determine the accuracy of these problems, and then begin the steps the process direction resolution, and this can be achieved only through an objective study of the overall economic reality of Iraq, providing the results of such These studies roof mental realistic and also the position balanced associated with objectivity and due to the state to show it in order to find suitable ground to communicate with the private sector and negotiate on the basis of full understanding of what pros and cons so that they can eventually deal with the whole issue objectively economic, political and legislative away from the dreams and visions nature of self is based on speculation, and away from the arrogance and assessments inexperienced. The move away from questioning meaninglessness his private-sector efficiency and accused him of his intentions and stop interfering in its affairs and stop trying to impose oneself on the institutions and organizations of civil and initiate the passing of legislation a fair basis of the economic partnership between the State and with and consider to the interests of all into one and provide the necessary protection to him with no effect on the terms of Iraq's accession to international organizations and the abandonment of understanding superior, which promotes the concept of (the guardianship of the public sector and non-eligibility of the private sector), and most importantly of all, faith in science that the partnership or alliance with the private sector is a necessity, not a luxury, is the only way to show good intentions of the state towards those who intend to make them strategic partners. and the process was the reverse as well, Vazaar bold initiative, and show awareness is necessary for the economic problems, and to highlight the capabilities of scientific and abide by the spirit of high responsibility, and stay away from mental grasp opportunities and investment needs State Dgz towards the demands may be to interfere with the overall economic process, are important steps to convince the state and the skeptics, the private sector to efficiently manage production processes within what is required.

Kurdish delegation satisfied after first round of talks
Erbil, Oct. 6 (AKnews) - After a first round of talks yesterday, Kurdish politicians who were sent to Baghdad to negotiate the tensions between the Kurdistan Region Government (KRG) and the federal government were satisfied with the outcome so far.
Although no agreements have been made yet, all the parties once more voiced their support for Kurdish demands, according to Yasin Hasan, MP from the Kurdistan Islamic Group (KIG) and member of the delegation.
"The meetings were positive and are proceeding in a brotherhood mode," Hasan said.
The long-postponed delegation, consisting of Fuad Hussein, head of the Kurdistan Presidential Office, Mala Bakhtiyar, a senior politburo member from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), and Fadhel Mirani, secretary for Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), arrived in Baghdad on Tuesday. Kurdish politicians joined them in Baghdad.
So far, they only met with Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, the representatives of the Islamic Supreme Council (ISCI), the Fadhila Party and the Sadr Current.
The tensions between Baghdad and Erbil are sparked by a list of demands that the Kurds believe they are entitled to after they lent their support to Prime Minister al-Maliki after the last election: the integration of the Kurdish defense forces (the Peshmarga) into the Iraqi army, paid for by the Iraqi government; drafting a new hydrocarbon law; and the implementation of Article 140 into the Iraqi constitution -- which authorizes payments to Kurds who were forced from their homes under Saddam Hussein, a comprehensive census of ethnic groups and a referendum to decide if disputed areas should fall under the control of Kurdistan Regional Government.
Tension rose recently when the Kurds accused the federal government of passing a draft law without taking the Kurdish opinion into consideration.
On the other hand, Baghdad criticized Erbil for signing contracts with international oil companies without the consent of the federal Oil Ministry.
Last week, Maliki supposedly gave his approval for all Kurdish demands, except one to finance the Kurdish Army, or Peshmarga, as part of the federal defense budget, according to Aref Tayfur, second deputy speaker of parliament and member of the Kurdish Blocs Coalition.
However, this was not the long awaited solution for the dispute, since Tayfur also claimed that Maliki's only condition was that the demands were not contrary to the constitution. This has always been Maliki's standpoint.

Joey: Was Allawi really upset?? You decide........
Allawi reveals the movement received positive signals on the implementation of the Convention on Arbil
Baghdad, October 5 / October (Rn) - The National Accord Movement, led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, Wednesday, they received positive signals on the concept of national partnership and the application of the terms of the Erbil, while claiming the existence of the intention to hold another meeting of leaders of political blocs to discuss the internal files .
The leaders of Iraqi political blocs last November on the initiative of the President of Kurdistan Region Masoud Barzani, which focused on renewing the mandate of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government by forming a national partnership.
As part of the political blocs agreed the initiative on a number of points, including the commitment to the Constitution, and to achieve both harmony and balance, and end the work of the accountability and justice, and activation of national reconciliation and the formation of a government of national partnership. Because
The agreement within the Initiative Barzani, which resulted in the formation of the government, given the position of prime minister of the National Alliance and the formation of a new council called the "Strategic Policy Council" shall be vested in his list of Iraq, specifically Iyad Allawi, who decided earlier abandonment of the position.
As presented Barzani another initiative to resolve the political crisis in September / September include the formation of a committee, consisting of 8 to 12 representatives of the political blocs to start talks on forming a government anticipated and work to resolve outstanding differences, as well as meetings of the expanded leaders to resolve the issue of the three presidencies.
And seek the three main blocs of the National Alliance, and the Iraqi List, and the Kurdistan Alliance, to reach consensus on many points that are still a matter of political controversy.
The leaders of political blocs to a meeting yesterday at the Peace Palace in Baghdad under the auspices of President Jalal Talabani was allocated to take a unified stance on the survival of U.S. trainers after 2011.
The meeting agreed with the exception of the Sadrist movement against the U.S. presence in Iraq to the survival of American trainers in Iraq, a condition not to grant legal immunity.
He did not touch the political leaders at their meeting yesterday to discuss the contentious issues between the central government and Kurdistan Regional Government and the files of national partnership in political decision-making demanded by Allawi's list.
A spokesman for the movement Dalimy Hadi, told the Kurdish news agency (Rn), that "there are positive signals from the other side of the concept of national partnership and the implementation of Arbil."
And repeatedly accuses the Iraqi List, a coalition of state law, led by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to work on procrastination agreements Erbil, which was formed and fabricated by the current government.
Dalimy said "there is an intention to hold a meeting of leaders of political blocs, according to Ibgna of President Jalal Talabani and the U.S. side to examine the files of internal political relationship."
The dispute between Iraq and the rule of law rejecting the enactment of the Strategic Council policies for fear of turning to the legislative council and an executive at the same time may create a rift in the government of Maliki.
Maliki says that Allawi has become through his people, "undesirable" in the political process in which a position that reflects the depth of disagreement between the two sides.
But Allawi, the position of a critic of the Maliki government is strong after the entry of the Kurds in the crisis with Baghdad because of the oil and gas law controversial.

And accused the Kuwait Times - which was given relationship "luxury" with the former regime, and has good links to your intelligence, "Iraqi forces" and described it as "the still tight to the past in an attempt to exploit the event and drafted by identification with the aggressive tendency, which was adopted by the former Iraqi regime pretexts The prosecutors and the national and sovereign. "
She said that this voice stretched to the trend has found its echo in terms of does not count the other parties do not hesitate to follow the agenda related to the regional accounts abroad, who find in the strained relationship between Baghdad and Kuwait a way to achieve its own interests is never associated with the interests of the two countries neighbors.
The Osdt media, Kuwaiti and Iraqi, convulsive great service to the public and interested parties eager to ring the wedge and the sustainability of the dispute between the two countries. But "the Kuwaiti newspaper" I tried to throw sand in the eyes of "a whiff of optimism" in which she said: you can not force seeking to inflame the dispute or difference between Iraq and Kuwait to achieve their goals at all. And claimed that the Iraqi government predominantly, and the Iraqi parliament overwhelmingly, may Rca convinced that the port of Kuwait does not harm the interests of Iraq, is no longer in the direction opposite the present time the ability to shake this conviction.
I went the newspaper, saying the Iraqi letter clear after this report had been received practically the Kuwaiti side of the disappearance of the sound that was called on Kuwait to stop work at the port, which means acceptance to proceed with the establishment of Iraq without objection. The paper adds: here evokes many of the politicians stand Maliki has taken with the Iranian side during his term the former government, when the forces occupied Iranian oil wells in the area of "loose change" border, where the condition of al-Maliki at the time when he met the Iranian ambassador to Baghdad, not to hold any bilateral dialogue between the two countries before the withdrawal of Iranian troops from the well of oil, has already pulled out. And hence - says Times - the Maliki's call to Kuwait to stop business in the port of Mubarak Al-Kabeer pending the facts of the committee, which was sent to Kuwait, could not have to fall for it (ie the call midwife for escalation) but for the conviction, including the availability of its data submitted by the Committee in do not cause this port in damage to the Iraqi side. The newspaper concluded, "threatening lining," saying: that some people in Kuwait who think quietly, especially from politicians, influential, they see that Iraq has made considerable progress at the United Nations in terms of raising the "Chapter VII" for Iraqi withers, leaving only the things that have not been resolved yet with the Kuwaiti side, which calls not to be drawn behind the wills that seek to put sticks in the wheel of the bilateral relationship between the Iraqi and Kuwaiti sides.

Experts: plans to raise Iraqi oil production will clash with the OPEC controls
Posted: October 5, 2011 Baghdad, October 5 / October (Rn) – Iraq seeks to raise its production of crude oil to about 12 million barrels per day by 2017 after it concluded contracts with international energy companies to develop 11 oil fields discovered untapped through three rounds of licenses.
Regardless of the access of production to the stated goal, the Iraqi experts in the field of oil development say that these plans will collide in the future actions of OPEC that is part of Iraq in its membership.
He says a member of the Transparency Initiative for Energy Jalal Yasiri Kurdistan News Agency (Rn) that “the lifting of oil production is the internal of Iraq determined by the political oil higher, but the export of more than 3 million barrels per day, will collide with the political OPEC and procedures in the discharge of crude oil to world markets.”
It is believed that “Iraq needs to set up a supreme committee comprising experts and technicians assigned by the ministry to review policy and routing oil to absorb the global market for crude oil of Iraq.”
Believes that “no fear of falling oil prices to below $ 90 a barrel because of the turmoil in the countries of the region, at least in the next six months.”
The current production of Iraq, about 2.7 to 2.8 million barrels per day of crude oil, and relies on imports to cover the financial budget by up to 95 per cent.
Iraq expects to increase its production to three million bpd by the end of this year and will add 500 thousand to a million additional barrels a day next year.
The director of the Iraqi Center for Studies of oil Jihad Silverline (Rn) that “Iraq is unable to reach production to 3 million barrels per day, even if they put stents in the port of al-Amaya export and export, which accommodate an additional 900 thousand barrels.”
He adds that “the development of the pillars of export is important in increasing oil exports, but will fail to provide a line carrier to Syria because the Syrian government’s preoccupation with internal political turmoil.”
It is expected to begin operation of Iraq and one of three new ports for the export of oil in the Gulf in the first January in the development of a major effort to build export capacity for the disposal of increased production from the southern oil fields.
He expected Iraq initially increase production capacity to 12 million barrels per day by 2017, but Oil Minister Abdul-Karim and coffee, said recently that the level of eight to 8.5 million barrels per day will be the appropriate target more, and that the period required to achieve this may extend to 13 or 14 years.
Silverline believes that “if the price of oil down to below $ 85 a barrel, it would be difficult to manage the 2012 budget deficit the government plans to increase the prices of processed oil.”
Government figures indicate that Iraq’s budget for next year will amount to 131 trillion Iraqi dinars (about $ 112 billion), up 36% from the current year budget and a deficit of 23.3 trillion Iraqi dinars (20 billion dollars).
The government says the deficit will be met from cash retained from the current year budget 2011 is internal and external borrowing and the rate of savings is expected to increase selling prices or increased oil production or borrowing from the IMF and World Bank.
He said Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister for Energy, Hussain al-Shahristani said on Wednesday that it would be “difficult” to accept the revelation of world oil prices from $ 90 a barrel, in a sign that the decline in prices began to cause concern to some members of OPEC.
He sees the former overalls oil and branch manager Rene Latte world’s oil in Baghdad Baha satisfied that “the Oil Ministry to coordinate on a daily basis with the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and give its plan to raise production and exports to OPEC for information and does not have any threat to the inability of OPEC to sell issued by Iraq’s oil with the end of this year. “
He says (Rn) that “the political oil in Iraq goes well and faced any legal concerns or technical, but need constant review and development of the infrastructure of oil fields and provide safety for their workers, especially those entered into licensing rounds, three.”
The OPEC basket includes 12 types of crude oil is a mixture deserts of Algeria, Girassol Angolans and Iranian Heavy, Basra Light Iraqi crude export Kuwaiti Sidr Libya and Bonnie light Nigerian crude maritime country and Arab Light Saudi Murban UAE and Mary from Venezuela and Oriente from Ecuador.

Al Qaeda in Iraq leader placed on US terrorist listAFP October 4, 2011 (3 days ago)
Abu Du'a has been blamed for a recent attack on Baghdad's Umm al-Qura mosque which killed 28 people. - AFP (File Photo)
WASHINGTON: The United States on Tuesday put the alleged leader of al Qaeda in Iraq on its special anti-terror blacklist and placed a dollar 10 million bounty on his head.
Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri, also known as Abu Du’a, was added to a US list of “specially designated global terrorists” for his role as a top leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, the State Department said.
“This designation plays a critical role in our fight against terrorism and is an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to abandon terrorism,” a statement said.
In a statement after the death earlier this year of al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden, Abu Du’a threatened violent retaliation, and claimed responsibility for attacks that have left scores of people dead and wounded in Iraq.
The US government said Abu Du’a is responsible for managing and directing large scale terror operations in Iraq, including an August 28, 2011 attack on the Umm al-Qura mosque in Baghdad which killed prominent Sunni lawmaker Khalid al-Fahdawi.
He has vowed to commit many more acts of mass violence, US officials said, including raids, suicide attacks, roadside bombs and small arms attacks in all cities and rural areas across Iraq.
The State Department action includes a prohibition against knowingly providing material support or resources to, or engaging in other transactions with him. It also freezes of any property or interests in property in the United States.
The US government also is offering a dollar 10 million reward for information that leads to Abu Du’a's capture.

Expert: Delete the zeros must be accompanied by technical support does the economy
06/10/2011
Baghdad, Hussein al-Tamimi Tgb
Collect a number of economic experts, the importance of the trend towards reduction of the currency by removing three zeros of them, but they asked not to adopt this step at this time, because the reality of the situation the country's economic walking directions do not agree with it, despite the achievements relative in the investment arena, but it may disrupt the local economy.
Economic expert sword Hilfi said that the process of deletion of zeros include elements of success in more than one side, but the elements of failure are many, pointing out that the central bank today is required to determine the odds of success and failure in this process, indicating that Once we are able to change the process must begin the Central Bank to determine the rate of the dinar against the dollar, after a reduction of the currency and the deletion of zeros it becomes a dollar dinars? Is that the central bank supports it first.
Technical specifications developed
He said in an interview (morning) that the process of deletion of zeros must be accompanied by a supporting stability of the security for the new currency that will be printed within the specifications of advanced technology.
Here is a must have the security capabilities that can prevent the forgery of this process, which forces the relevant authorities to study this subject with extreme precision, as we need technical support in the subject of switching the currency equivalent of a major operation in this size.
Processors
He pointed to the existence of a large mass of cash in the country identified by the Central Bank, but the reduction is not a final solution to address this cluster and the resulting negative on the economy.
Indicating that countries that adopt this approach to not be in front of solutions, other secondary, and that this process should be preceded by a processor number and after the complete phase processors States enter the stage of the deletion of zeros, saying we did not enter the stage of processors, including the system of electronic payment and clearing system.
These systems are done recently in Iraq, which help to contain inflation, mass cash surplus in the markets and towed to the banks, which in turn drive permits or cards used by citizens of shopping anywhere, and it is these regimes to withdraw liquidity from the domestic market and the citizen and restored to incubators banking, and that these banks are pumping liquidity by the major economic projects, explaining that the application of these systems, we see the results after two or three years, and that this stage must be accompanied by an educational program directed to segments of the society shows the importance of advanced banking technology in the local economy.
Hilfi saying goes: that means the withdrawal of liquidity, which also said electronic clearing system, which managed the private banking sector Ptivh threatened failure of the insistence of the banking sector on the government not to use it and do not know what reason, and this confirms that the challenges are great in front of the application of this process.
The expert pointed out the need to provide supplies necessary for the withdrawal of liquidity in order to achieve the desired success in changing the currency and the deletion of zeros.
Impact on investment
He Hilfi saying: that the country began receiving foreign investments directly benefiting from the security and stability of relative, as well as Machdth area of events, led the investment process to go to Iraq, and that changing the process will carry a significant impact in the form of the local economy, which confuses the reality of investment business because it knows the economy in the coming period, and that too much talk on this side Born imbalance in the investor went to Iraq. He called for the need to review before adopting this approach the process of removing the zeros that relate to the rights of citizens and the economy in general.
Five years
Increased Hilfi saying that the reality of the Iraqi economy needs to five years to build this step, where the time will be more stable in all fields of productivity.
But today it can not be reduced to the process without examining the economic reality and political security. He said, for example, that one has a (100) million dinars, was to adopt a resolution to delete the zeros will have two options either going to turn it into another constant, a dollar will be equal to (300.38) thousand dollars, or will be reduced to the process and becomes the amount (100) thousand dinars, but How much is equal to the dinar against the dollar, and returned to confirm that the operation is correct and successful, but not at this time.

Fears of manipulation in the Iraqi economy while changing the currency and the lifting of the zeroes
On: Wednesday 10/05/2011 19:23
Craftsmen in print: fraud may be only for the purpose of sabotage can not be achieved in Iraq
BAGHDAD - Sharifi Persia
In 2013 will see Iraq, according to observers, the process is of great economic delete three zeros and the replacement of the current currency traded Iraqis after 2003.
Committees, organizations and government figures and non-governmental organizations warned of the process and indicated that they will see a wide range of corruption after the introduction of the altered and forged new.
Iraqi craftsmen in the printing industry played down the significance of such information and indicated that Iraq or even the Middle East are not able to counterfeiting Bmousvat high and the process of fraud that took place will be open and clear, even for someone simple and can distinguish the original from the counterfeit currency.
He said peace Alaidana, owner of OS for printing and publishing and advertising in Basra, in an interview (citizen) that «the modern techniques of fraud did not enter Iraq, nor even to neighboring countries and that the cost of counterfeit currency will be higher than the value of cash in the market therefore ruled that it« he said, adding that »quality of paper used in the Iraqi currency is not available and there is the impossibility to get it Vhoogali price so you will not benefit from the want of fraud, we find that most of the counterfeit currency is the U.S. dollar or the euro (the currency of the European Union) in which the value dissuade them very high fill the cost of the fraud, so I think that fraud would be obtained if only to sabotage «
For his part, Haidar al-Moussawi, the owner of Press imagination in Baghdad, said that «the dough's currency is not available and expensive either printing techniques are available, so we find that the Iraqi currency a few fraud« He added that »the interest of material from the process is feasible, but there may be gangs or states you want to hit the rigging of the process of the country's economy and this may be the main reason of the receipt of certain information to the competent authorities according to given antibiotic drops gangs want to make a big fraud and I think that this is an event that one who stands behind him and states, not individuals «
The Advisor to the Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdullah Hussein Al-Anbuge had indicated in a press statement that «it will return the largest of corruption in Iraq's history and will add trillions of counterfeit currency that will go to the Holocaust in exchange for currency» useful that «the information is almost certain for the presence of mafias operate from now on counterfeiting ».
It is worth mentioning that the central bank had earlier announced his intention to replace the currency after you delete the zeros of them, prompting many observers of economic affairs to the warnings of this process, seeing it as damaging to the Iraqi economy.

Delete the zeros of the draft is coming!
06/10/2011
Yasser Mutawalli
Raging debate on a draft resolution to delete the zeros from the currency and change with the consensus of economists on the importance and timing is the cause of controversy. While heading the Iraqi Central Bank to prepare for the promotion of this resolution in accordance with the requirements of persuading citizens and make them understand Bamadaminh face at the same time a number of criticisms launched from the challenges he sees the owners of the objection as essential and must be taking into account the rationales
Point of the objection see in the circumstances it is not conducive to such a measure at this time in particular of non-political and economic stability, which justify the mob's currency from the investment of these circumstances, including voiding the decision of the substance and goals and what makes matters worse, referring to cases of fraud expected it are not given way to achieve the goals of change in the treatment of inflation and other, not to mention the great social problems that may result in the lack of awareness of large segments of the community content of the resolution and the real value of cash and not affected by the change. In the eyes of the central need to move a campaign of awareness and guidance on the mitigation of the problems expected as a result of lack of understanding, and wonder to what extent the wait and we believe that three years may be sufficient for the legislation and proceed with its implementation, stressing the inevitability of change. Agreed on its importance and about the perceptions and the center of the objections you find Central past in the implementation of plan expected to last for three years at least. One of the proceeds of the objections brought to my attention when noted economist said there are flaws in some of the requirements of the requirements to be met by referring to the positive results of the process of removing the zeros and change the currency in order to pull the cluster large cash from circulation, but in contrast raised the subject of great importance when he referred to non-completion of procedures mechanization banking (electronic clearing) that contribute a lot in the process of withdrawing cash from circulation without significant damage. This mechanism universally agreed and imposed by the central banking sector carried out by private banks, and lagged by government banks, which pay Executive Director of the Association of private banks to warn that e-clearing project is threatened with failure because of the insistence of the government banks are not implemented, the largest depositor of the instruments. This challenge reflects the intersection large in the proceedings of the relevant departments that are supposed to be the main factor in resolving the challenges and facilitate the implementation of the draft resolution aimed at withdrawing the monetary bloc, seen above that this controversy by means of the press and media economists is very useful in the detection and diagnosis of the strengths and weaknesses of any economic decision with full transparency and disclosure and that is what drives us to repeat the call for the need to satisfy any bill that economic discussion before it is approved to overcome the mistakes and challenges, This confirms the importance of prayers are continuing to establish the economic council of experts economy the task of the study and analysis and evaluation of projects of economic decisions.
And thus dissociate the partial solutions through press releases and media that Atkhalo of errors, especially in the handling and dealing with the assessment decisions vocabulary devoid sometimes fitness of words to criticize the decisions, because the solution to the Ekman shortening others, but lies in the discussions quiet leading up to the mature economic decisions sound and successful and meaningful, and the bottom line, the project is coming to the deletion of zeros Amehal ripening and we have less losses.

The government treated the private sector like a baby
On: Wednesday 10/05/2011 17:28
Liberalization of the private sector ... Guardianship or partnership? Lapid Jalal al-Hanafi I will assume that the title of this article that began with (Edit the private sector) is to identify appropriate to discuss the form of the appropriate relationship that should be drafted between the State as the biggest investor in the Iraqi market, and the private sector as not occupy only the proportions of simple investments market as a result of uncertain because of legal system has been besieged and haunted is it his breath, and by the way, I would like to emphasize that the process of formulating any kind of relationship does not depend on the will of self-Pure, but there is not necessarily objective data determine the general trends of this relationship. is known as the long domination of the state on the economy and the Iraqi market for decades began with the establishment of the modern state in 1921 until the present day, interspersed with numerous attempts by the private sector of which failed, including the successful establish a genuine partnership with the state are offset by positive steps and sometimes negative in times violent again by the state to strengthen this partnership. I governments consistently in Iraq since 1958, the year that stopped the natural growth of the private sector, particularly industrial him, has been to treat the private sector and to talk about it like a small child has not completed its growth, sometimes, the other like a monster rough intends to swallow everything and everybody, in both cases the result is always the one They caution, hesitation and doubt, each time requiring the opening to the private sector .. The national economy is suffering from a serious imbalances is unilateralism chronic production and the soaring consumption at the expense of production and development mole in addition to the suspension of all production lines other except the line of oil production, let alone plankton Others such as corruption and financial obligations of the huge involving the general budget, etc., requires a conscious objective of the state to adopt the mentality of partnership instead of custody path guaranteed to win the partners and to achieve economic and social benefits expected as a result of an alliance with the private sector in the process of organizing and restructuring the Iraqi economy, no state today has sufficient privileges or the ability to play the role of the father of the College sponsor the movement of national economic activity as it did in the past or as it was just the same Sometimes it can do, Vllabuh price as it is known. The private sector, especially manufacturing a foreign investment of it, has today the capacity of the task in the field of production and marketing of technical expertise and management of modern scientific-based profitability and efficiency, and advanced technology not to mention the reputation market, which has some branches in international financial markets, qualifies him to lead productive sectors Several national parked today or paralyzed by the financial deficit and the aging of the administrative system and the difficulty to meet modern technology experienced by the public sector slim build aging, irrespective of the identity of the statements that appear here and there, telltale ratios readiness of the private sector, efficiency and competency and eligibility, or warning of his intentions and ambitions, calling for Audit prolonged before the award of any responsibility to contribute to the management of the economy and production in Iraq, to the last of that list that address lack of confidence, the State must be aware that the process of dealing with the need for the private sector, both local and non-local is not a luxury or a gift offered, but it is historical necessity does not defer only to some disruption in the march of history and a further deterioration in the process of national economic development. more clearly, must be recognized that the state of today is not in appropriate locations for the chosen the between to open up to the private sector or not, with the reality of limited oil production, which is the backbone of the overall GDP and controlled imports a set of international benefits, and also with a massive shortfall in the budget that are not in accordance with the feasibility studies, and closing is not subject to final accounts, in addition to loss of control of the college dropouts Financial huge, which threatens to actually collapse the public sector .. All this does not make the State in a completely stable to impose conditions and its control over other economic partners in order to remove Iraq's economy from its crisis of chronic, and under the illusion primiparous Iraqi market and the thirst of investors to it, it can be true only in the light of the engagement objective which takes into account the interests of all parties alike. the State should determine the priorities in the process of solving the problems of community economic development, and after to determine the accuracy of these problems, and then begin the steps the process direction resolution, and this can be achieved only through an objective study of the overall economic reality of Iraq, providing the results of such These studies roof mental realistic and also the position balanced associated with objectivity and due to the state to show it in order to find suitable ground to communicate with the private sector and negotiate on the basis of full understanding of what pros and cons so that they can eventually deal with the whole issue objectively economic, political and legislative away from the dreams and visions nature of self is based on speculation, and away from the arrogance and assessments inexperienced. The move away from questioning meaninglessness his private-sector efficiency and accused him of his intentions and stop interfering in its affairs and stop trying to impose oneself on the institutions and organizations of civil and initiate the passing of legislation a fair basis of the economic partnership between the State and with and consider to the interests of all into one and provide the necessary protection to him with no effect on the terms of Iraq's accession to international organizations and the abandonment of understanding superior, which promotes the concept of (the guardianship of the public sector and non-eligibility of the private sector), and most importantly of all, faith in science that the partnership or alliance with the private sector is a necessity, not a luxury, is the only way to show good intentions of the state towards those who intend to make them strategic partners. and the process was the reverse as well, Vazaar bold initiative, and show awareness is necessary for the economic problems, and to highlight the capabilities of scientific and abide by the spirit of high responsibility, and stay away from mental grasp opportunities and investment needs State Dgz towards the demands may be to interfere with the overall economic process, are important steps to convince the state and the skeptics, the private sector to efficiently manage production processes within what is required.

Opinions and articles and delete the zeros mafias of corruption and fraud
Delete the zeros and the mafias of corruption and fraud
MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2011 3:34 YOUNIS GLOBE FORTUNE-TELLER
Younis Globe fortune teller may seem to object to the subject of the deletion of zeros objection is not easy to accept in light of inflation caused by the previous regime had become so Iraqi currency amounts to nothing in front of Arab and foreign currencies and the reason for this surprising is that the stated objective behind the deletion is to raise the value of the currency in the global market.
Reema some believe I stand deduced from the deletion of zeros from the currency and thus restoring the integrity of her, but I want to say that it is possible to turn the process of deletion to the opportunity to exploit some Mufsdbn and counterfeiters may cause in the event of conducting at the present time damage heavily on the Iraqi economy. in under the current situation where there are financial and administrative corruption is controlled in the state departments as well as what can be provided by the sectarian and factional and party of the cover of the spoilers and protect them from legal accountability in light of the survival of Iraq under Chapter VII becomes a subject of the deletion of zeros from the currency at the moment of the errors very serious the right of the Iraqi economy as a result of the deletion process will high inflation acknowledged by the financial experts that the process of removing the zeros will be an opportunity for forgers in the introduction of large quantities of counterfeit currency to banks and alter the new currency spoilers will inevitably exploit this process ugliest exploitation.
that the country has gone through many tragedies and experiences should be utilized as lessons for the future so you should beware of repeating what happened in the process of switching the currency was called the name of (press) used by the citizens during the former regime to the current currency where the spoilers replace counterfeit currency to the account of some merchants, fraud rings, it is not surprising or unlikely to be at the present time gangs wearing uniforms government is lying in wait for the date the arrival of the process of removing the zeros to crack down on banks and replace the counterfeit currency in the currency of a new, as happened in 2003 as the current reality of the country indicates the presence of a large number of fraud rings and promotion because of the support of some neighboring countries to the gangs of in order to create confusion among our people must therefore miss the opportunity to these people and delay the deletion process until finding the right time.
days before the Central Bank of Iraq The year 2013 will witness the deletion of zeros and the currency exchange current that formed a cluster of large cash estimated at 30 trillion dinars, according to Bank estimates, a what we must go on according to a deliberate plan, therefore, a strategy the Central Bank of deleting three zeros and the currency exchange has to be the date of implementation at the beginning of a new year and new budget for the Iraqi state and must be a reasonable time to inform the citizen process to delete the zeros and thus the switch the currency in the new fiscal year for the year 2013 or the following year would be an appropriate period.
that the zeros have been added for the currency led to the deterioration of the currency in Iraq, as well as confirmed by financial experts from a weakness in the efficiency of monetary exchange as to what you are suffering monetary institutions of Iraq at the present time of the errors in the accounts and records back caused by the high number of currency that are difficult to read.
we have to say that the Iraqi currency current formed a cluster of large cash and up to 30 trillion Iraqi dinars while the number of securities traded in the market to four trillion paper after it was mass cash amounting to 25 billion dinars in 1980, while greater currency in Iraq at the present time (twenty-five thousand) is equal to $ 21, and thus is able to cover payments large.
the process of deleting the zeros and the currency exchange to be the definition of its importance as a process of administrative reform of the currency of the Iraqi monetary and therefore does not affect the lifting of the value of things or change the per capita income of Iraq and there is no reason to fear people from the deletion of zeros, as this fear is fear psychologically This process is applied in 53 countries, including Turkey when he deleted six zeroes from the currency and Romania, which omitted four zeros.
that the government and in the words of an adviser to Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdullah Al-Hussein Anbuge, considered in (25 August 2011), to raise zeros from the currency will be prepared by the biggest corruption in Iraq if it was during this period, and fall under the name of tampering with the economic, warning that the mafia currency is preparing to rig the trillion Iraqi dinars to replace them in the light of the planned changes for the fact that Iraq not ready at the present time to delete the zeros of the Iraqi dinar as the deletion of zeros needed to stabilize the security and political as well as economic stability.
in the parliament are opposed as well, where counting member of the Finance Committee Abdul Amir Mayahi the application of the law to delete the zeros of the Iraqi currency as negative for the time being in the absence of security and economic stability witnessed by the country has made it clear Mayahi that the law deletion of zeros from the currency current are discussed in the Finance Committee is expected to apply early next year, but in contrast, it has negative effects for the time being as witnessed in the country of the instability of a security, economic and political and Maishdh Pacific regional variables.
that the parliament and through its Finance Committee stressed that the draft law in light of the current study was under the supervision of specialists in the economic 'as there are studies was provided by European research institutes developed to take advantage of their expertise in this area but there's opposition to some members of the committee Finance on the implementation of this project at this stage and there are claims to delay it until after the political and security stability and economic fear of fraud and the targeting of the Iraqi economy accompanied by replacement of the currency and the control of neighboring countries on the Iraqi economy and destroyed in the process of replacing the existing currency with another new, where the facts and indicators show that the neighboring countries and other countries will inject counterfeit currency so as to control the Iraqi economy by draining the Iraqi currency of purchasing power and control of these countries on the financial situation of the Iraqi and the process of replacing the currency will carry the state the burden of new financial processes and printing process to Atkhalo the risk of inflation, which may be accompanied by and this most show that the time of launch of the replacement process is not true, and came to in order to distract the citizens to the switch and concern about demand service it is better to be a replacement currency after Iraq is stabilized, economically and politically.
to be recognized that the renaming categories Iraqi currency / lifting of the zeroes / is necessary and of great importance to the reality of the Iraqi economy and has received broad popular support is reminiscent of the minds of a country's currency strong supported cover gold as well as being into the hands of the national economy of Iraq in the long term by fighting inflation and supporting the banking system and to help determine the size of wealth and how it is distributed in the community and control liquidity and create financial surpluses are used in finance as well as increased awareness of the banking system. Therefore, the Central Bank of Iraq could, in cooperation with the government, the preparation of instructions governing the replacement of the currency according to the mechanism are within the schedule is calculated, where trading the new currency with the old until the withdrawal of old currency from the market the fact that the deletion process contribute directly to raise the value of the currency exchange and rehabilitation of the national currency of old as an important pillar and foundation of the pillars of state sovereignty and national identity as well as Mihakgah the measure of positive results in the forefront of increasing the confidence of the citizens own currency and adoption of new store of value, this measure would have the effect of the reduction of inflation in the Iraqi economy and raise the value of the currency Iraqi occupies a dominant presence in the Arab and international levels and to ensure the success of this procedure has to be that the Iraqi government to eliminate the structural distortions in the Iraqi economy, particularly in the exchange and prices and wages, as to be greater coordination between fiscal policy and monetary policy and reducing government spending to limit the effects of inflation, which was the result of structural reasons, not cash.
that the announcement of the Governor of Central Bank of Iraq for the final touches to the process of lifting the zeros from the currency is one of the things in support of the Iraqi economy by reducing inflation, currently it is a necessary process and are in favor of the economy if they were implemented in a timely appropriate and is not currently awash with mafias financial and administrative corruption and gangs of fraud and promoting of the coin counterfeit has revealed the days and years past many of the negative situations and phenomena that should be the Atsud in Iraqi society, including the phenomenon of counterfeiting and promote them as managed security forces to arrest many of the bands that wanted to sow mistrust between the citizen and the state and found the process of counterfeiting Iraqi fertile ground so it must have room for Anda to enter the gate of the deletion of zeros.

Joey: That is one the reasons the RV has been delayed a little but.........they need to find these people...they have been looking for them and arrested many...they have been seizing duplicating equipment....and catching them

Opinions and articles and delete the zeros mafias of corruption and fraud
Delete the zeros and the mafias of corruption and fraud
MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2011 3:34 YOUNIS GLOBE FORTUNE-TELLER
Younis Globe fortune teller may seem to object to the subject of the deletion of zeros objection is not easy to accept in light of inflation caused by the previous regime had become so Iraqi currency amounts to nothing in front of Arab and foreign currencies and the reason for this surprising is that the stated objective behind the deletion is to raise the value of the currency in the global market.
Reema some believe I stand deduced from the deletion of zeros from the currency and thus restoring the integrity of her, but I want to say that it is possible to turn the process of deletion to the opportunity to exploit some Mufsdbn and counterfeiters may cause in the event of conducting at the present time damage heavily on the Iraqi economy. in under the current situation where there are financial and administrative corruption is controlled in the state departments as well as what can be provided by the sectarian and factional and party of the cover of the spoilers and protect them from legal accountability in light of the survival of Iraq under Chapter VII becomes a subject of the deletion of zeros from the currency at the moment of the errors very serious the right of the Iraqi economy as a result of the deletion process will high inflation acknowledged by the financial experts that the process of removing the zeros will be an opportunity for forgers in the introduction of large quantities of counterfeit currency to banks and alter the new currency spoilers will inevitably exploit this process ugliest exploitation.
that the country has gone through many tragedies and experiences should be utilized as lessons for the future so you should beware of repeating what happened in the process of switching the currency was called the name of (press) used by the citizens during the former regime to the current currency where the spoilers replace counterfeit currency to the account of some merchants, fraud rings, it is not surprising or unlikely to be at the present time gangs wearing uniforms government is lying in wait for the date the arrival of the process of removing the zeros to crack down on banks and replace the counterfeit currency in the currency of a new, as happened in 2003 as the current reality of the country indicates the presence of a large number of fraud rings and promotion because of the support of some neighboring countries to the gangs of in order to create confusion among our people must therefore miss the opportunity to these people and delay the deletion process until finding the right time.
days before the Central Bank of Iraq The year 2013 will witness the deletion of zeros and the currency exchange current that formed a cluster of large cash estimated at 30 trillion dinars, according to Bank estimates, a what we must go on according to a deliberate plan, therefore, a strategy the Central Bank of deleting three zeros and the currency exchange has to be the date of implementation at the beginning of a new year and new budget for the Iraqi state and must be a reasonable time to inform the citizen process to delete the zeros and thus the switch the currency in the new fiscal year for the year 2013 or the following year would be an appropriate period.
that the zeros have been added for the currency led to the deterioration of the currency in Iraq, as well as confirmed by financial experts from a weakness in the efficiency of monetary exchange as to what you are suffering monetary institutions of Iraq at the present time of the errors in the accounts and records back caused by the high number of currency that are difficult to read.
we have to say that the Iraqi currency current formed a cluster of large cash and up to 30 trillion Iraqi dinars while the number of securities traded in the market to four trillion paper after it was mass cash amounting to 25 billion dinars in 1980, while greater currency in Iraq at the present time (twenty-five thousand) is equal to $ 21, and thus is able to cover payments large.
the process of deleting the zeros and the currency exchange to be the definition of its importance as a process of administrative reform of the currency of the Iraqi monetary and therefore does not affect the lifting of the value of things or change the per capita income of Iraq and there is no reason to fear people from the deletion of zeros, as this fear is fear psychologically This process is applied in 53 countries, including Turkey when he deleted six zeroes from the currency and Romania, which omitted four zeros.
that the government and in the words of an adviser to Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Abdullah Al-Hussein Anbuge, considered in (25 August 2011), to raise zeros from the currency will be prepared by the biggest corruption in Iraq if it was during this period, and fall under the name of tampering with the economic, warning that the mafia currency is preparing to rig the trillion Iraqi dinars to replace them in the light of the planned changes for the fact that Iraq not ready at the present time to delete the zeros of the Iraqi dinar as the deletion of zeros needed to stabilize the security and political as well as economic stability.
in the parliament are opposed as well, where counting member of the Finance Committee Abdul Amir Mayahi the application of the law to delete the zeros of the Iraqi currency as negative for the time being in the absence of security and economic stability witnessed by the country has made it clear Mayahi that the law deletion of zeros from the currency current are discussed in the Finance Committee is expected to apply early next year, but in contrast, it has negative effects for the time being as witnessed in the country of the instability of a security, economic and political and Maishdh Pacific regional variables.
that the parliament and through its Finance Committee stressed that the draft law in light of the current study was under the supervision of specialists in the economic 'as there are studies was provided by European research institutes developed to take advantage of their expertise in this area but there's opposition to some members of the committee Finance on the implementation of this project at this stage and there are claims to delay it until after the political and security stability and economic fear of fraud and the targeting of the Iraqi economy accompanied by replacement of the currency and the control of neighboring countries on the Iraqi economy and destroyed in the process of replacing the existing currency with another new, where the facts and indicators show that the neighboring countries and other countries will inject counterfeit currency so as to control the Iraqi economy by draining the Iraqi currency of purchasing power and control of these countries on the financial situation of the Iraqi and the process of replacing the currency will carry the state the burden of new financial processes and printing process to Atkhalo the risk of inflation, which may be accompanied by and this most show that the time of launch of the replacement process is not true, and came to in order to distract the citizens to the switch and concern about demand service it is better to be a replacement currency after Iraq is stabilized, economically and politically.
to be recognized that the renaming categories Iraqi currency / lifting of the zeroes / is necessary and of great importance to the reality of the Iraqi economy and has received broad popular support is reminiscent of the minds of a country's currency strong supported cover gold as well as being into the hands of the national economy of Iraq in the long term by fighting inflation and supporting the banking system and to help determine the size of wealth and how it is distributed in the community and control liquidity and create financial surpluses are used in finance as well as increased awareness of the banking system. Therefore, the Central Bank of Iraq could, in cooperation with the government, the preparation of instructions governing the replacement of the currency according to the mechanism are within the schedule is calculated, where trading the new currency with the old until the withdrawal of old currency from the market the fact that the deletion process contribute directly to raise the value of the currency exchange and rehabilitation of the national currency of old as an important pillar and foundation of the pillars of state sovereignty and national identity as well as Mihakgah the measure of positive results in the forefront of increasing the confidence of the citizens own currency and adoption of new store of value, this measure would have the effect of the reduction of inflation in the Iraqi economy and raise the value of the currency Iraqi occupies a dominant presence in the Arab and international levels and to ensure the success of this procedure has to be that the Iraqi government to eliminate the structural distortions in the Iraqi economy, particularly in the exchange and prices and wages, as to be greater coordination between fiscal policy and monetary policy and reducing government spending to limit the effects of inflation, which was the result of structural reasons, not cash.
that the announcement of the Governor of Central Bank of Iraq for the final touches to the process of lifting the zeros from the currency is one of the things in support of the Iraqi economy by reducing inflation, currently it is a necessary process and are in favor of the economy if they were implemented in a timely appropriate and is not currently awash with mafias financial and administrative corruption and gangs of fraud and promoting of the coin counterfeit has revealed the days and years past many of the negative situations and phenomena that should be the Atsud in Iraqi society, including the phenomenon of counterfeiting and promote them as managed security forces to arrest many of the bands that wanted to sow mistrust between the citizen and the state and found the process of counterfeiting Iraqi fertile ground so it must have room for Anda to enter the gate of the deletion of zeros.

Joey: One of the most important paragraphs in this article
"on concern about the increasing amount of pumping of counterfeit money in the local markets, confirming that it is detrimental to the national economy and lose credibility and trust among the citizens."
Joey: That tells you why they must RV their currency...they have to bring out a currency that someone does not have plates for and it will create trust among the citizens...they are afraid to accept currency in the current marketplace...
Joey: That is one the reasons the RV has been delayed a little but.........they need to find these people...they have been looking for them and arrested many...they have been seizing duplicating equipment....and catching them

In spite of the occupants of buildings that do not pay the rent mentioned, but everyone does not want to live there because of the lack of services. But do not have other options because of the high cost of rent.
says expert Housing in the United Nations Human Settlements in Iraq, David Aubry: Iraq faces a significant shortfall in housing units, and is struggling to deal with them, and population growth, overcrowding, urbanization, and issues arising from internal displacement, all These circumstances all contribute to the deterioration of housing conditions and the growth of demand for housing in Iraq, adding that "57% of the population of urban poor living in similar circumstances, and 37% of homes in cities in Iraq are the busiest similar, the center failed to provide an infrastructure capable to meet the growing demand, "asserting that Iraq needs to two million units by 2016.

Fuel and gas shortage in Iraq
02/10/2011 13:31
Baghdad, Oct.2 (AKnews) - Eight years after the war, Iraq is still not capable of producing enough oil and gas to meet its own demands, according to Secretary for Refinery Affairs in the Oil Ministry, Ahmed al Shammaa.
While Iraq produces 8 million liters of liquid gas per day, it consumes approximately 12 million liters. The situation is even worse as far as oil is concerned: 12 million liters of refined oil are produced in Iraq every day, however another 12 million liters have to be imported from international markets.
Iraq consumes a lot of gas because of a large number of gas power plants. The country is suffering from an ongoing electricity shortage in the country. With temperatures often soaring over 50 degrees Celsius during the summer months, demand for electricity in Iraq during this period is estimated at around 14,000 MW. According to government figures, the energy currently available to Iraq stands at around 9,000 MW.
Energy Minister Hussein al-Shahristani recently promised that Iraq's electricity crisis will end in 2013, when only a few more energy plants were built.
This will most likely increase the gas and oil deficit of the country. Though the Oil Ministry repeatedly announced plans to quintuple the country's oil production from 2.5 million barrels of oil per day (bopd) in 2009 to 12 million bopd in 2016, there would not be enough refineries to process crude oil into usable fuel.
In a move that seemed to be a panic reaction, the federal Oil Ministry stopped its procedure to provide free fuel to owners of generators this weekend. The procedure had started in June in order to increase private energy production and cost $400 million USD (469.3 billion IQD).

Iraq: Radio Host Is Killed Before Protest (September 9, 2011)
Times Topic: Iraq
Connect With Us on Twitter
Follow @nytimesworld for international breaking news and headlines.
“I will sleep in peace. I want to rest so long, and dream of my name written on my grave, dream that my son will come and visit me, even once, my son who does not speak Arabic well. I hope that he will be able to read his father’s name, the lover of freedom and its martyr.”
That letter was written in June, and by September he was dead from an assassin’s silenced pistol, another journalist killed in Iraq. But perhaps none of the killings has resonated so deeply in a nook of society that welcomed war with such eagerness.
The murder has reverberated through Baghdad’s community of journalists, artists and writers, spurring a moment of deep introspection for a cadre of secular intellectuals, many of whom fled repression under Saddam Hussein and returned to their homeland after the invasion with the hopes of being the liberal conscience of a new nation.
Many kept their optimism during the worst years of the war. But now, as the American military leaves and they witness scenes of triumph from homegrown revolutions in neighboring Arab countries, they are reconsidering their country’s own experience with overturning a dictatorship.
“For me, I was still optimistic a year ago,” said Ali Sumari, a newspaper editor and film director who returned to Iraq in 2003 from Jordan and was a close friend of Mr. Mahdi’s. “Even during the sectarian war, I thought things would settle down. Nowadays, I am starting to fear that Iraq will never become a stable country.”
In Iraq, where there is sometimes little distinction between a journalist, an artist and an activist, Mr. Mahdi, 45 when he was killed, hosted a popular radio show, becoming a powerful voice for those disenchanted with their government, often criticizing officials by name and receiving frequent death threats. He also produced films and wrote plays and columns, and became a leader of a small band of protesters who since February have gathered most Fridays at Baghdad’s Tahrir Square to protest against the government.
Just as former political opponents of the government followed American tanks into Iraq, intellectuals did too, hoping to shape an architecture of ideas to buttress their new democracy. Their experience has been starkly different. The politicians returned to preside over a state, the journalists to suffer under tactics that they, and human rights activists, say mimic those wielded by the former government.
In February, Mr. Sumari was arrested alongside Mr. Mahdi after a protest against the government in Baghdad. The two were beaten and interrogated and accused of being sympathetic to the Baath Party — the worst kind of insult in Iraq, especially for two men who had fled the country under Mr. Hussein’s Baathist government.
“You can accuse me of anything, even of being a terrorist, but don’t call me a Baathist,” said Mr. Sumari. “You humiliate my humanity.”
Those thinkers and writers who returned represented a powerful counternarrative to the exodus of this country’s educated middle class, many of whom have yet to come back, leaving a fissure in Iraq’s social structure between an often corrupt political elite and a vast underclass.
Mr. Mahdi had fled to Syria and then Denmark, where his children remain. Mr. Sumari had been in Jordan. Another close friend, Ahmed Hussein, a newspaper editor, lived in Syria, Lebanon and Canada before the American invasion. He was a college mate of Mr. Mahdi’s in Baghdad, and introduced him to his first wife.
When he returned, Mr. Hussein said: “I was very optimistic. I thought Americans were smarter than they turned out to be.”
He had communicated on Facebook with Mr. Mahdi just hours before he was killed, discussing an upcoming protest. “Hadi was not only optimistic, but a dreamer,” he said. “He thought Iraq would become liberal and secular. Even until his last days he was dreaming this dream.”
Other friends of Mr. Mahdi’s never left, and recalled jubilant scenes of reunion after the fall of the government on Mutanabbi Street, a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare of booksellers’ stalls that is a hub of intellectual life in the old quarter of the capital.
“We were so happy to have him back in Iraq,” said Karema Hashim, a friend of his since the 1980s when they both worked in cinema and media in Baghdad. “And he was happy to be back because he thought it was liberated.”
Ms. Hashim, who manages a fine arts high school in Baghdad, spoke recently outside a mosque during Mr. Mahdi’s funeral, near a table where men were setting out plates of fruit for the mourners. She was dressed in black, a tissue in her hand to blot out the tears. “I was so happy because all of my friends came back to Iraq,” she said. “We were full of power and ambition.”
Now, she said, “Iraq is in its worst time. I know I’m going to get killed one day.”
Another friend, Satar Muhsin, came to intellectual life after the fall of the government. “The best years of my life I wasted in the army under Saddam,” said Mr. Muhsin, now a bookseller on Mutanabbi Street. “It was war, it was killing, it was hunger and fear.”
He met Mr. Mahdi in Najaf at a conference featuring the liberal Iraqi writer and cleric Ahmed al-Qabbanji, and the two bonded over Mr. Qabbanji’s message. “His idea is that Islam is not the solution,” he said. “The modern state of technocrats and secularism is.”
For some, Mr. Mahdi’s murder has elevated the level of fear so high that they are even reconsidering their work as journalists. Mr. Sumari said he might stop writing temporarily.
“We’ve become so afraid of what we do and what we write,” he said. “We’re changing where we meet, we’re not sleeping at home.”
Mr. Mahdi was the 93rd journalist murdered in the last decade — many more died from indiscriminate acts of war — and in not a single case has anyone been brought to justice, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Iraq regime tries to silence corruption whistleblowers
By Patrick Cockburn
Thursday, 29 September 2011SHARE PRINTEMAILTEXT SIZE NORMALLARGEEXTRA LARGE
EPA
Nouri al-Maliki and his government have been widely accused of failing to deal with rampant corruption following the Iraq war
ENLARGE
The Iraqi government is seeking to silence critics who accuse it of rampant corruption by removing officials who try to prosecute racketeers and intimidating politicians and journalists who support them.
This month alone it has forced the head of its anti-corruption watchdog to resign. And a prominent Iraqi journalist, who had been threatened for leading anti-government protests, was shot dead in his home in Baghdad.
There is growing anger that the ruling elite is stealing or embezzling much of the country's $2bn (£1.3bn) a week in oil revenues, depleting funding for electricity, water, health care, housing, education and even rubbish collection. Transparency International says that last year Iraq was the fourth most corrupt country in the world, out of 178 countries surveyed.
The Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, and his government have apparently decided to deal with the accusations by hitting back at their accusers. They are trying to remove the parliamentary immunity of an independent MP, Sabah al-Saadi, formerly head of the parliamentary committee on integrity, so that they can arrest him for making allegations against Mr Maliki.
So few officials in Iraq are prosecuted or lose their jobs for corruption that it is difficult to prove how widespread it is, though most Iraqis assume that no job or contract is awarded without a bribe. A report this week by the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, called Failing Oversight: Iraq's Unchecked Government, relates how the Electricity Minister was forced to resign "accused of having signed multibillion-dollar contracts with a Canadian shell company [one with a physical address but no assets or operations] and a German company that had declared bankruptcy."
Earlier this year, Mr Saadi embarrassed the government by revealing that the general in charge of its rapid reaction team had been arrested in a sting for accepting a $50,000 bribe.
The ICG report says that Mr Maliki's government has fought long and hard to prevent official theft being curbed by blocking efforts to strengthen state institutions in charge of investigations and prosecution. An Iraqi inspector general is cited as saying that the anti-corruption framework is "like an aspirin to Iraq's cancer".
Judge Rahim al-Ugaili, the head of the Integrity Commission, one of the principal oversight bodies, was forced to resign his post on 9 September. He said he had had to give up his job because the government was not supporting his anti-corruption work and was interfering politically in his work.
A senior US embassy official testified before Congress that the Prime Minister's office had issued "secret orders" to the Integrity Commission, prohibiting it from referring cases to the courts involving "former or current high-ranking Iraqi government officials, including the Prime Minister... The secret order is, literally, a licence to steal."
Critics of the government say they have all been threatened with violence. On the day Mr Ugaili was forced out of his job, a popular radio journalist, Hadi al-Mahdi, was shot twice in the head in his flat in the normally safe Karrada district of Baghdad. His killing happened just before he was due to lead a pro-democracy demonstration in Tahrir Square against corruption and authoritarianism.
Mr Mahdi had run an outspoken radio show called To Whoever Listens, which was highly critical of the government. Two months ago, he was forced to take it off the air because of fears for his safety. He had told Amnesty International this year that he and three other journalists had been arrested at a protest rally and taken to a military headquarters, where they were beaten, given electric shocks and threatened with rape. Several hours before he was shot Mr Mahdi posted a note on Facebook saying he felt he was in danger. "I have lived the last two days in a state of terror," he wrote.
The reason for Mr Ugaili's resignation shows that corruption in Iraq has reached saturation level. The ICG report, citing government sources, says that in 2011 the Integrity Commission and the Board of Supreme Audit had identified hundreds of shell companies abroad linked to senior government officials in the Defence Ministry and Prime Minister's office. These were winning contracts in Iraq, many of which were never implemented despite being paid for. When Mr Ugaili sought to get the courts to prosecute, the government blocked him and he resigned.
The cost of corruption
$1.2bn The entire military procurement budget for 2004-2005, which was stolen.
$85m The cost of buying 1,500 useless bomb detectors in 2008, each worth a few dollars.
7.6m The number of Iraqis without drinking water, according to Unesco.

U.S. general says al-Qaeda in Iraq is severely weakened
Friday, 30 September 2011
Maj. Gen. David Perkins said al-Qaeda has suffered a “dramatic decrease” in it local and foreign fundraising abilities. (Courtesy Multi-National Force - Iraq). (Courtesy Multi-National Force - Iraq)
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Iraq has been severely weakened by a money squeeze, internal squabbling, a shortage of volunteer suicide bombers and more effective Iraqi efforts to snatch the terror group’s foreign recruits when they slip across the border from Syria, a senior U.S. general said Thursday.
Maj. Gen. David Perkins, commander of the Army’s 4th Infantry Division and of all U.S. forces in northern Iraq, said al-Qaeda has suffered a “dramatic decrease” in local and foreign fundraising, to the point where members of the group are fighting over shrinking pieces of the financial pie.
“We are seeing, instead of foreign aid coming in, in large amounts, they’re resorting to what I would call extortion, black marketing, robbery of jewelry stores, things like that,” Perkins told reporters in a video link to the Pentagon from his base in Tikrit. “And it’s devolving more into almost gang mafia-type activities. ... And so they are starting to, in some instances, turn against each other, which from our point of view is a good sign.”
Northern Iraq, and particularly the city of Mosul and the Tigris River valley area, has for years been a hub for al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Now, with U.S. forces preparing to leave Iraq, al-Qaeda has become more of a criminal enterprise than a terror group, Perkins said. He asserted that U.S.-trained Iraqi army and police forces are getting better at using intelligence leads to capture and otherwise contain al-Qaeda elements.
“Where we see that manifest itself is a dramatic decrease in numbers of attacks, especially your typical al-Qaeda signature attacks, spectacular attacks, ones with a large amount of suicide folks involved,” he said. “We see now more vehicle-borne explosive devices that are parked and detonated versus being driven and detonated, which means they’re having a hard time getting people who are true believers to actually be the suicide folks.”
Perkins said he has seen no clear evidence that the decline in numbers of foreign fighters crossing the border from Syria is connected to a 6-month-old anti-government uprising in Syria. He said Iraqi security forces have gotten better at border protection, in part because they are sharing intelligence more effectively.
Perkins also said that most of the 5,000 U.S. troops based in northern Iraq will be gone by the end of October. All U.S. forces are to leave by the end of the year, under a 2008 U.S.-Iraq agreement, although the two sides are now discussing the possibility of keeping some troops in Iraq beyond 2011.
In a reminder that northern Iraq remains dangerous, a U.S. soldier was killed there Thursday. Perkins offered no details of the death beyond saying the soldier was preparing to go out on an operation when he was killed by “indirect fire,” meaning a rocket or mortar attack. It was the first U.S. combat death in Iraq since July.

Fuel and gas shortage in Iraq
02/10/2011 13:31
Baghdad, Oct.2 (AKnews) - Eight years after the war, Iraq is still not capable of producing enough oil and gas to meet its own demands, according to Secretary for Refinery Affairs in the Oil Ministry, Ahmed al Shammaa.
While Iraq produces 8 million liters of liquid gas per day, it consumes approximately 12 million liters. The situation is even worse as far as oil is concerned: 12 million liters of refined oil are produced in Iraq every day, however another 12 million liters have to be imported from international markets.
Iraq consumes a lot of gas because of a large number of gas power plants. The country is suffering from an ongoing electricity shortage in the country. With temperatures often soaring over 50 degrees Celsius during the summer months, demand for electricity in Iraq during this period is estimated at around 14,000 MW. According to government figures, the energy currently available to Iraq stands at around 9,000 MW.
Energy Minister Hussein al-Shahristani recently promised that Iraq's electricity crisis will end in 2013, when only a few more energy plants were built.
This will most likely increase the gas and oil deficit of the country. Though the Oil Ministry repeatedly announced plans to quintuple the country's oil production from 2.5 million barrels of oil per day (bopd) in 2009 to 12 million bopd in 2016, there would not be enough refineries to process crude oil into usable fuel.
In a move that seemed to be a panic reaction, the federal Oil Ministry stopped its procedure to provide free fuel to owners of generators this weekend. The procedure had started in June in order to increase private energy production and cost $400 million USD (469.3 billion IQD).

Iraq: Radio Host Is Killed Before Protest (September 9, 2011)
Times Topic: Iraq
Connect With Us on Twitter
Follow @nytimesworld for international breaking news and headlines.
“I will sleep in peace. I want to rest so long, and dream of my name written on my grave, dream that my son will come and visit me, even once, my son who does not speak Arabic well. I hope that he will be able to read his father’s name, the lover of freedom and its martyr.”
That letter was written in June, and by September he was dead from an assassin’s silenced pistol, another journalist killed in Iraq. But perhaps none of the killings has resonated so deeply in a nook of society that welcomed war with such eagerness.
The murder has reverberated through Baghdad’s community of journalists, artists and writers, spurring a moment of deep introspection for a cadre of secular intellectuals, many of whom fled repression under Saddam Hussein and returned to their homeland after the invasion with the hopes of being the liberal conscience of a new nation.
Many kept their optimism during the worst years of the war. But now, as the American military leaves and they witness scenes of triumph from homegrown revolutions in neighboring Arab countries, they are reconsidering their country’s own experience with overturning a dictatorship.
“For me, I was still optimistic a year ago,” said Ali Sumari, a newspaper editor and film director who returned to Iraq in 2003 from Jordan and was a close friend of Mr. Mahdi’s. “Even during the sectarian war, I thought things would settle down. Nowadays, I am starting to fear that Iraq will never become a stable country.”
In Iraq, where there is sometimes little distinction between a journalist, an artist and an activist, Mr. Mahdi, 45 when he was killed, hosted a popular radio show, becoming a powerful voice for those disenchanted with their government, often criticizing officials by name and receiving frequent death threats. He also produced films and wrote plays and columns, and became a leader of a small band of protesters who since February have gathered most Fridays at Baghdad’s Tahrir Square to protest against the government.
Just as former political opponents of the government followed American tanks into Iraq, intellectuals did too, hoping to shape an architecture of ideas to buttress their new democracy. Their experience has been starkly different. The politicians returned to preside over a state, the journalists to suffer under tactics that they, and human rights activists, say mimic those wielded by the former government.
In February, Mr. Sumari was arrested alongside Mr. Mahdi after a protest against the government in Baghdad. The two were beaten and interrogated and accused of being sympathetic to the Baath Party — the worst kind of insult in Iraq, especially for two men who had fled the country under Mr. Hussein’s Baathist government.
“You can accuse me of anything, even of being a terrorist, but don’t call me a Baathist,” said Mr. Sumari. “You humiliate my humanity.”
Those thinkers and writers who returned represented a powerful counternarrative to the exodus of this country’s educated middle class, many of whom have yet to come back, leaving a fissure in Iraq’s social structure between an often corrupt political elite and a vast underclass.
Mr. Mahdi had fled to Syria and then Denmark, where his children remain. Mr. Sumari had been in Jordan. Another close friend, Ahmed Hussein, a newspaper editor, lived in Syria, Lebanon and Canada before the American invasion. He was a college mate of Mr. Mahdi’s in Baghdad, and introduced him to his first wife.
When he returned, Mr. Hussein said: “I was very optimistic. I thought Americans were smarter than they turned out to be.”
He had communicated on Facebook with Mr. Mahdi just hours before he was killed, discussing an upcoming protest. “Hadi was not only optimistic, but a dreamer,” he said. “He thought Iraq would become liberal and secular. Even until his last days he was dreaming this dream.”
Other friends of Mr. Mahdi’s never left, and recalled jubilant scenes of reunion after the fall of the government on Mutanabbi Street, a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare of booksellers’ stalls that is a hub of intellectual life in the old quarter of the capital.
“We were so happy to have him back in Iraq,” said Karema Hashim, a friend of his since the 1980s when they both worked in cinema and media in Baghdad. “And he was happy to be back because he thought it was liberated.”
Ms. Hashim, who manages a fine arts high school in Baghdad, spoke recently outside a mosque during Mr. Mahdi’s funeral, near a table where men were setting out plates of fruit for the mourners. She was dressed in black, a tissue in her hand to blot out the tears. “I was so happy because all of my friends came back to Iraq,” she said. “We were full of power and ambition.”
Now, she said, “Iraq is in its worst time. I know I’m going to get killed one day.”
Another friend, Satar Muhsin, came to intellectual life after the fall of the government. “The best years of my life I wasted in the army under Saddam,” said Mr. Muhsin, now a bookseller on Mutanabbi Street. “It was war, it was killing, it was hunger and fear.”
He met Mr. Mahdi in Najaf at a conference featuring the liberal Iraqi writer and cleric Ahmed al-Qabbanji, and the two bonded over Mr. Qabbanji’s message. “His idea is that Islam is not the solution,” he said. “The modern state of technocrats and secularism is.”
For some, Mr. Mahdi’s murder has elevated the level of fear so high that they are even reconsidering their work as journalists. Mr. Sumari said he might stop writing temporarily.
“We’ve become so afraid of what we do and what we write,” he said. “We’re changing where we meet, we’re not sleeping at home.”
Mr. Mahdi was the 93rd journalist murdered in the last decade — many more died from indiscriminate acts of war — and in not a single case has anyone been brought to justice, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Iraq regime tries to silence corruption whistleblowers
By Patrick Cockburn
Thursday, 29 September 2011SHARE PRINTEMAILTEXT SIZE NORMALLARGEEXTRA LARGE
EPA
Nouri al-Maliki and his government have been widely accused of failing to deal with rampant corruption following the Iraq war
ENLARGE
The Iraqi government is seeking to silence critics who accuse it of rampant corruption by removing officials who try to prosecute racketeers and intimidating politicians and journalists who support them.
This month alone it has forced the head of its anti-corruption watchdog to resign. And a prominent Iraqi journalist, who had been threatened for leading anti-government protests, was shot dead in his home in Baghdad.
There is growing anger that the ruling elite is stealing or embezzling much of the country's $2bn (£1.3bn) a week in oil revenues, depleting funding for electricity, water, health care, housing, education and even rubbish collection. Transparency International says that last year Iraq was the fourth most corrupt country in the world, out of 178 countries surveyed.
The Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, and his government have apparently decided to deal with the accusations by hitting back at their accusers. They are trying to remove the parliamentary immunity of an independent MP, Sabah al-Saadi, formerly head of the parliamentary committee on integrity, so that they can arrest him for making allegations against Mr Maliki.
So few officials in Iraq are prosecuted or lose their jobs for corruption that it is difficult to prove how widespread it is, though most Iraqis assume that no job or contract is awarded without a bribe. A report this week by the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, called Failing Oversight: Iraq's Unchecked Government, relates how the Electricity Minister was forced to resign "accused of having signed multibillion-dollar contracts with a Canadian shell company [one with a physical address but no assets or operations] and a German company that had declared bankruptcy."
Earlier this year, Mr Saadi embarrassed the government by revealing that the general in charge of its rapid reaction team had been arrested in a sting for accepting a $50,000 bribe.
The ICG report says that Mr Maliki's government has fought long and hard to prevent official theft being curbed by blocking efforts to strengthen state institutions in charge of investigations and prosecution. An Iraqi inspector general is cited as saying that the anti-corruption framework is "like an aspirin to Iraq's cancer".
Judge Rahim al-Ugaili, the head of the Integrity Commission, one of the principal oversight bodies, was forced to resign his post on 9 September. He said he had had to give up his job because the government was not supporting his anti-corruption work and was interfering politically in his work.
A senior US embassy official testified before Congress that the Prime Minister's office had issued "secret orders" to the Integrity Commission, prohibiting it from referring cases to the courts involving "former or current high-ranking Iraqi government officials, including the Prime Minister... The secret order is, literally, a licence to steal."
Critics of the government say they have all been threatened with violence. On the day Mr Ugaili was forced out of his job, a popular radio journalist, Hadi al-Mahdi, was shot twice in the head in his flat in the normally safe Karrada district of Baghdad. His killing happened just before he was due to lead a pro-democracy demonstration in Tahrir Square against corruption and authoritarianism.
Mr Mahdi had run an outspoken radio show called To Whoever Listens, which was highly critical of the government. Two months ago, he was forced to take it off the air because of fears for his safety. He had told Amnesty International this year that he and three other journalists had been arrested at a protest rally and taken to a military headquarters, where they were beaten, given electric shocks and threatened with rape. Several hours before he was shot Mr Mahdi posted a note on Facebook saying he felt he was in danger. "I have lived the last two days in a state of terror," he wrote.
The reason for Mr Ugaili's resignation shows that corruption in Iraq has reached saturation level. The ICG report, citing government sources, says that in 2011 the Integrity Commission and the Board of Supreme Audit had identified hundreds of shell companies abroad linked to senior government officials in the Defence Ministry and Prime Minister's office. These were winning contracts in Iraq, many of which were never implemented despite being paid for. When Mr Ugaili sought to get the courts to prosecute, the government blocked him and he resigned.
The cost of corruption
$1.2bn The entire military procurement budget for 2004-2005, which was stolen.
$85m The cost of buying 1,500 useless bomb detectors in 2008, each worth a few dollars.
7.6m The number of Iraqis without drinking water, according to Unesco.

U.S. general says al-Qaeda in Iraq is severely weakened
Friday, 30 September 2011

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Iraq has been severely weakened by a money squeeze, internal squabbling, a shortage of volunteer suicide bombers and more effective Iraqi efforts to snatch the terror group’s foreign recruits when they slip across the border from Syria, a senior U.S. general said Thursday.
Maj. Gen. David Perkins, commander of the Army’s 4th Infantry Division and of all U.S. forces in northern Iraq, said al-Qaeda has suffered a “dramatic decrease” in local and foreign fundraising, to the point where members of the group are fighting over shrinking pieces of the financial pie.
“We are seeing, instead of foreign aid coming in, in large amounts, they’re resorting to what I would call extortion, black marketing, robbery of jewelry stores, things like that,” Perkins told reporters in a video link to the Pentagon from his base in Tikrit. “And it’s devolving more into almost gang mafia-type activities. ... And so they are starting to, in some instances, turn against each other, which from our point of view is a good sign.”
Northern Iraq, and particularly the city of Mosul and the Tigris River valley area, has for years been a hub for al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Now, with U.S. forces preparing to leave Iraq, al-Qaeda has become more of a criminal enterprise than a terror group, Perkins said. He asserted that U.S.-trained Iraqi army and police forces are getting better at using intelligence leads to capture and otherwise contain al-Qaeda elements.
“Where we see that manifest itself is a dramatic decrease in numbers of attacks, especially your typical al-Qaeda signature attacks, spectacular attacks, ones with a large amount of suicide folks involved,” he said. “We see now more vehicle-borne explosive devices that are parked and detonated versus being driven and detonated, which means they’re having a hard time getting people who are true believers to actually be the suicide folks.”
Perkins said he has seen no clear evidence that the decline in numbers of foreign fighters crossing the border from Syria is connected to a 6-month-old anti-government uprising in Syria. He said Iraqi security forces have gotten better at border protection, in part because they are sharing intelligence more effectively.
Perkins also said that most of the 5,000 U.S. troops based in northern Iraq will be gone by the end of October. All U.S. forces are to leave by the end of the year, under a 2008 U.S.-Iraq agreement, although the two sides are now discussing the possibility of keeping some troops in Iraq beyond 2011.
In a reminder that northern Iraq remains dangerous, a U.S. soldier was killed there Thursday. Perkins offered no details of the death beyond saying the soldier was preparing to go out on an operation when he was killed by “indirect fire,” meaning a rocket or mortar attack. It was the first U.S. combat death in Iraq since July.
