Hello Updaters!! Not a brisk news day – but looks like they are out making news – not writing about it. Check out *** Current News *** and *** Chat Comments ***. There is some good items there. Thanks – BGG
Poppy and I will have another call later this evening – we’ll advertise the number beforehand.
*** Flashback ***
UPDATE: No “flashback” today. But here is the quote of the day…
Rudaw: Will Maliki remaining in his post mean that the Kurdish attempt has failed?
Fuad Hussein: It is too early to say Maliki will remain in his post. Maliki might be replaced. I believe it is not a failure for the Kurds any way it turns out because the Kurds were able to form a large coalition against Maliki. The truth is, Maliki is now isolated and alone. So he has two options: to change his policy or be changed. It is the Kurds that are now on the strong side, not Maliki.
This pretty much confrims everything I have been saying for some time now.

This is plainly confirming the formula I have been discussing for some time – there seems to be more than enough defectors in the National Alliance to have a successful “no confidence” vote against Maliki. It will be soon.

I wasn’t so concerned with what happened at this meeting – just that it was going on. A party meeting at the home of Jaafari without Maliki in attendance (or if he was no one would admit to it -which may be worse). They are clearly trying to figure out their party direction (without Maliki).

Sadrists announced on Monday that the National Alliance will meet after the deadline set by its leader, Muqtada al-Sadr to start procedures for no-confidence in the government if the President did not respond to the demands of the nine, as he emphasized that the coalition figures “efficient” candidate to replace Maliki.

Tamimi said that “the National Alliance has a competent national figures can lead the country,”

Sadr is not playing around – this is looking very serious indeed.

The Kurds seem content with Jaafari – but as important, take note of Maliki’s reaction to the paper being delivered. This is another clue as to his “mind set”. I think he’s about gone off the “deep end” now…
Maliki and his opponents: peg critical deadlines to resolve disputes .. يطلق رصاص (خُلّب)!! Called lead (chelation)!
BAGHDAD / political editor told Orr
Since the announcement of the deadline two weeks before the Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to resolve his differences with everyone, and the results of the consultative meeting in Arbil, going in the Bodqp pots Almsttriqh the consensus of parliamentary, and sources familiar with the “ur”
The most prominent of these compromises, is the following: expansion of talk about the diagnosis of impeachment is not only to the President of the government, “al-Maliki” to include transactions of the three presidencies in accordance with the agreements of Arbil, compared asked Maliki to the idea of re-formation of the government under his leadership as a fundamental given the Sadrists objector some ministerial posts, most directly in the file services, including the Ministry of Electricity, which convey the threat of a deadline two weeks to peg objections actors, as is the case with statements from the Iraqi List, the threat to withdraw from the government, which ended the large number of threats to this Almhjb political weapons consumed, according to these sources.
Suggest these sources that is retrieved by President Jalal Talabani hold the lead again, especially since he did not sign the statement of the consultative meeting in Arbil, and published in the document the statement, contained signatures of Massoud Barzani, and Osama Najafi, and Iyad Allawi, and the signature and seal cleric Muqtada al- the chest.
And on the next step, you find these sources that Talabani could summon the positions again, and re-raised, including his well-known intelligent politician, especially since he was now on his way to announce a specific date for the meeting of the National in the last week of this month, after arranging a working paper put on the meeting of the three presidencies in the presence of Mahdt Mahmoud, head of the Supreme Judicial Council, However, these sources say that the lack of success of this meeting to intercept any of the parties on a sheet of a final settlement that will put Talabani meant his withdrawal from the negotiations and the possibility of returning to Salmanah or travel for treatment in one of European cities, and leave all options open in the conflict may end in the parliament in any direction in which predominantly Almtsaron power, either to dissolve parliament and hold early elections, or to dissolve the government and the formation of a new government.

Spin and political differences between the three main menus in the political process centered on the state administration and application of the Constitution.

This is a long and somewhat convoluted esplanation (in this article)…however – it is pretty much confirming (again) what I was saying I thought might happen. I said it appears as though Talibani is preparing to head into the National Conference without a PM (post “no confidence” vote) - they will pick – it will likely be Jaafari. However, I believe they will handle everything else all at once so there won’t be any more “political trickery” – all the Ministers, the Erbil and article 140 agreed to…all at once.
Here’s an interesting headline…
Met with President Jalal Talabani said on Monday a delegation from the State of Law coalition headed by Sheikh Khalid al-Attiya
While Talibani was meeting with everyone else – it does say he “received” this delegation…but that is all. No mention of anything getting done. NADA – zip.
*** Rumor Comments ***
Rumor – The rumor was out last nite that the RV happened at 8:30pm and was live on bank screens at 17.00.
Well – here we are today – no 17.00. Debunked!!
Rumor – There was a “no confidence” vote last Saturday. Maliki only received 40 votes and threw a fit – having to be escorted out.
Once the vote happens – you will see it on Fox News. It will be BIG. Though I doubt Maliki gets more than 40 votes and I bet he will throw a fit – but not just yet. Debunked!!
If you find a crazy rumor or have a question about something you’ve heard – bring it to one of the Mods over at www.dinarupdates.com and we’ll use it here. Thanks!!
