5/11/2012 Mailman17 EXPECT MORE SHANNIGANS...FROM MALIKI, LAST DITCH EFFORTS, WALLS CLOSING IN AND NO ESCAPE. TODAY...THE NEWS WAS PROBABLY THE BEST ITS BEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME...ARTICLE AFTER ARTICLE CAME OUT...AND IT SEEMED THAT EVERY ONE SHOWED JUST HOW MUCH OF A RAT MALIKI, THE DAWA PARTY WAS. ALL I CAN SAY PEEPS...IS DON'T BLINK, THIS CRAPS GONNA COME FAST AND HEAVY BUT THEN AGAIN...WE KNEW IT WOULD IN THE END.

5/11/2012 Doc The Maliki saga continues to take center stage. It would appear from the news he may believe there are enough votes to remove him. Reports state he has threatened to do anything from removing military protection from Kurdistan, taking Talabani out, not running for a third term to immediately stepping down. He even went on TV saying he has been calling for the NC but the other blocs are delaying and not enacting laws to serve the people of Iraq. We are starting to be of the opinion that there actually may be enough votes to take him out. We do agree if Maliki is removed Jaafari will most likely be name interim PM. In fact there are several reports of personal meeting between Jaafari and Talabani.

5/11/2012 Med I AM SO PLEASED THAT THERE ARE SOME SIGNS OF LEADERSHIP IN THE GOVT, WE ALL KNEW WHEN NAJAFI TOOK OVER PARLIAMENT HE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL AND HE HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED US. ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS ABOUT THE RV WAS THE LEADERSHIP AND HOW OTHER COUNTRIES LOOKED AT IRAQ. IN ORDER FOR THE DINAR TO HOLD ITS VALUE OR TO IMPROVE IT COUNTRIES THAT ACCEPT THE DINAR HAVE TO FEEL THAT IRAQ IS NOT GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER COUP OR DICTATOR.

5/11/2012 Poppy3 They could implement as early as monday. If they discharge maliki monday and or he resigns or they appoint a interim pm they could seat the minister, arbil and shabibi could turn the rv loose just to show the people of iraq they are moving forward and the goi is functioning for the better of their future.

5/11/2012 Mike We heard Parliament come out and say if the Oil & Gas Law is not done that they are going to pick it up at the end of the legislative recess and take it to task...finish this up and move forward with this because we know this is what is causing the political crisis to have a problem. Allawi decided ...to come out - saying very strongly there is no independence for Kurdistan - they want to be a part of Iraq - But Maliki needs to get his stuff together and they need to get going and do what they need to do.

5/11/2012 Mailman17 WE EXPECTED FIREWORKS...AND I DON'T THINK WE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED...YOU CHANGE THE PM...GET THE MINISTERS IN PLACE, THE HCL DONE, YOUR GONNA BE VERY SURPRISED JUST HOW FAST THE INFRASTRUCTURE TAKES OFF AND BEFORE THAT WE WILL HAVE THE VALUE AND IRAQ WILL FINALLY HAVE A TRADEABLE CURRENCY...WE ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS IS IRAQ.

5/11/2012 Doc We see something very interesting in the overall timeline. We continue with the opinion that we need to see chapter 7 lifted, Ebril/HCl implemented and article 8 status of the currency for the RV. Chapter 7 could be done on June 15 when the UNSC meets next and it was reported that the HCl will be voted on when Parliament reconvenes. What is interesting is Parliament will reconvene on ? You guessed it, mid June. Also, Maliki could easily be gone by then and a fully seated GOI put in place. On top of all this a news release said the tariffs would be effective July 1. It seems as if the timeline is converging around mid to late June. However, we continue to caution all that Maliki will not go quietly and Iraq is notorious for delays. We will be watching very intently as we approach mid June for these key issues to finally be resolved. We report, you decide

5/11/2012 Cap1 ALOT OF ACTIVITY OUT THERE THIS MORNING...CAN'T GIVE YOU THE SPECIFICS... BUT IT'S ALL VERY GOOD, SO BE PATIENT A LITTLE MORE...THERE IS MUCH HOPE FOR TODAY.

5/11/2012 Mike the banks are complaining because...there is NO value to the currency. They have nobody banking - they have no international business coming in - nobody is doing business in the dinars there - they are not running large transactions thru the bank - there aren't people saving. They've got all this great sophisticated banking equipment but they have nobody using it - so they have been educating the people on how to use it but the people do not have anything to put there til they have value to their currency.

5/11/2012 SWFloridaGuy Maliki is now fighting for a National Meeting to save him from a no-confidence vote. He's threatening to try to bring Talabani down with him. He's doing everything he can to stay in power right now. We're not sure yet which direction it will go. If they believe they have the necessary 163 votes to remove him they'll move ahead with the no-confidence, if not then they may prefer to reach an agreement with Maliki after he meets their terms and we'll see a National Meeting. These next couple days will tell us. One way or another it will be resolved. Should be interesting.
