2-1-11 Med chat

Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of the chat on DD

1. The 2nd reading was a surprise
2. Med read that Maliki said he is no longer concerned with the security and other issues
3. With the contradiction by the SFC from their 2006 decision and their current ruling, Parliament should have enough evidence to dissolve the current court and put a new one in
4. Maliki can't keep his promises and this is why the Kurds and the List have been so determined to make him comply with the agreements from Erbil
5. Next Parliament meeting is Thursday
6. They will discuss the budget and the SFC decision. So, the issue of Maliki being removed is not happening this week
7. There is no secret conspiracy out there. This group in Iraq is inept
8. Shabibi is waiting for some clarification from Parliament, or some action on their part
9. Shabibi has made it clear that the assets of Iraq that are now part of CBI are at risk
10. Those assets are part of the foreign currency reserves that are to cover an RV
11. The government is ratified already
12. Maliki used proxies for the unfilled ministry seats and they were dumb enough to accept it
13. Parliament bit on his promise and, as usual, he hasn't kept it
14. If Iraq leaves the DFI protection without a foreign exchange currency, it would be devastating for them
15. The creditors would have no choice but to raid the assets of Iraq
16. CW stated that they would ratify the budget this week in the news
17. The budget must first be read 3 times and then be published in the Gazette
18. Need to follow the budget
19. The SFC is also important
20. If they move on them to dissolve the SFC, this is a key to what will happen to Maliki
21. If they only give lip service, then Maliki is safe
23. Need to watch for Maliki and Allawi to meet. This could be a key to diverting serious trouble
24. Both could resolve things
