*********************************************************************************************
FROM DONNIE I'm going to keep this short because we have just received information the RV is ready for launch within the next 24 hrs. This does not mean you will be able to cashin tomorrow but most likely Monday or Tuesday. We are told M is possibly going to RV today/ tonight to avoid protestors distroying various cities and property in Iraq over the holy weekend. M also wants to demonstrate that they are moving quickly to meet the demands of showing respect towards the needs of the Iraqi people. Talk about taking it to the 11th hour, folks, this is where we truly are at this juncture of the RV. I will not give a rate simply for the reason we cannot confirm it, although I'm very sure we will all be very pleased with the results. As far as I'm concerned, we don't need anymore confusing information as this rollercoaster ride is coming to a complete stop within 24 hrs. Sit back and enjoy your day, the train is approaching the station. Pray for the Iraqi people and our troops! I look forward to seeing you in S.F

2-17-11 Melkert: I think after exchange of visits by prime ministers all issues especially those of the border will be solved
Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this article
1. Melkert described the meetings between Maliki and the Emir of Kuwait as a success
2. He also said that he thinks that after their meeting, all issues, especially those of the border will be solved
This article discusses their agreements
Now this is what I was looking for! When the UN initially listed all sanctions except those relating to Kuwait, they basically said that Baghdad and Kuwait needed to "agree" on the outstanding items before they would lift the remaining sanctions. They didn't say they needed to address and complete all outstanding items. Yesterday's news mentioned that a committee would be formed and would meet in the middle of March to begin addressing issues. I do not believe we need to wait for the outcome of those meetings before we see Chapter 7 lifted in full.
