slh5282 says():BGG, RCOOKIE.. GOOD CALL YESTERDAY. HOPE THEY GET MOVING ON THE PROCESS AND GET THE DOGS OUT..
BGG says():BGG – I mentioned the Naquish article on the call yesterday – however, as I mentioned…
It is written from a very “outsider / opposition” – perspective… FWIW
and ousting Jubouri has not happened (yet – at least). I suspect this piece was written prior to the SJC ruling invalidating their “actions”…
Very interesting though – their view (and probable info) pointing out Maliki being behind this and the general target being Abadi.
clay01 says to BGG():Ok BGG, bring it
slh5282 says(9):BGG.. HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU THINK MALIKI CAN STAY IN THE STREAM OF THINGS AND CONTINUE TO BE DISRUPTIVE? HOW MANY LIVES DOES THIS CAT HAVE?
tman23 says():By fomenting a protest movement and delivering an ultimatum to Abadi, Sadr has successfully pitted his two Shia political rivals, the Dawa Party of the prime minister, and the politicians of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq (ISCI) in parliament, against each other, undermining Iran’s overarching goal of maintaining a unified Shia alliance in Iraq….
For example, an ISCI party member, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, is Minister of Oil, and he was to be replaced by a Kurdish technocrat. Ammar al-Hakim, the leader of the Shia ISCI party, a rival to the Shia Dawa Party, stated: “if we have a totally technocratic cabinet, then PM Abadi must be a non-partisan technocrat or PM Abadi must go”.
Abadi engaged in a political gamble by taking on a measure calling for all parties to relinquish their control over the ministries. ISCI called his bluff by demanding that the prime minister should then resign, given his connections to one of the entrenched parties in Iraq’s political landscape, the Dawa party.
tman23 says():Regardless of the outcome, Sadr’s ultimatum has precipitated an intra-Shia conflict among his rivals, allowing him to emerge as a grassroots Shia and Iraqi nationalist leader, who stands above the fray of partisan Shia politics.
It has also undermined Iran’s objectives in Iraq of ensuring Shia political unison, a policy that Sadr believed deprived him of asserting his own presence on the Iraqi political landscape.
tman23 says():Now recall the heads of parties signing the document for Abadi reforms…….Remember Shahristani, Maasuom, and Abadi were the only ones who stood while signing…..
And remember the next Parliament session is where Dawa lead by Maliki started the fight…….. There is a point to this…….soon coming…….

wmawhite says to tman23():this is interesting………what is it you think? Now recall the heads of parties signing the document for Abadi reforms…….Remember Shahristani, Maasuom, and Abadi were the only ones who stood while signing….. And remember the next Parliament session is where Dawa lead by Maliki started the fight…….. There is a point to this…….soon coming…….
tman23 says to wmawhite():Over a year ago I had told Chattels that Shahristani was said to be by Abadi side……some say keep you friends close your enemies closer…….
Then articles came out about Shahristani oil contracts and corruption…… BUT remember that Shahristani is the one who flipped the party count that eliminated Maliki from any chance of getting PM……..
Then Shahristani was appointed a few positions but wanted to serve in education which has been his life passion……..HE DID NOT WANT POWER…….. Maliki plays the I got the goods on you and will take you down with me…….
But this is all about taking down the Dawa/Maliki and his inside government he built while in power…… Fawa aka Chen who left Dawa and started her own opposition is STILL Dawa…….they fractured for a reason but serve the same cause…….. Shahristani is their cyrptonite…….. and Jaafari and Maliki are sweating bullets as this thing is about to conclude in the next few days……..
_firefly_ says():Urgent Obama: Do not get caught in changing government Abadi , the Iraqi people is determined – 2016/4/21 16:31

Obama stressed in a press conference after the end of the US Gulf summit in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Thursday, “I think that al-Abadi was a good partner for us. This is not the time differences and the Iraqi people as it determines the shape of the government,”
wmawhite says to tman23():Very interesting….and I agree with you that the hammer is about to come crash down upon the “old guard”………….and it will be not just Abadi swinging it, but many of the regional players helping.

tman23 says to wmawhite():Abadi did not want these ministers at the beginning and he did not pick his cabinet…….Quite frankly this cabinet is the ones that placed Alak as CBI governor……..
Recall it is the executive branch that maliki got Medhat to rule on saying CBI governor as an executive position, therefore appointed by the executive cabinet and not Parliament….and then issued an order that no appeal can be made on this ruling……..
Once Abadi has his cabinet confirmed……they will meet and one of the very first things they will do is vote on Abadi nominee for CBI governor…… Replacing Alak…….

_firefly_ says():IMF Staff Completes 2016 Article IV Mission to Vietnam
Press Release No. 16/183 April 22, 2016 An IMF mission team led by Mr. John Nelmes visited Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City April 6-22 to conduct the 2016 Article IV consultation discussions with Vietnam.1
At the conclusion of the visit, Mr. Nelmes made the following statement:
“Vietnam has achieved commendable macroeconomic outcomes. Last year growth was strong, inflation fell to low levels, foreign direct investment was robust, and important new trade agreements were successfully negotiated.
firefly_ says():“The achievement of macroeconomic stability provides a solid foundation for a broadly positive economic outlook, although risks and medium-term challenges exist.
For 2016, growth is expected to ease to around 6 percent, mainly reflecting weaker external demand and severe drought and salination of arable land that have adversely affected agriculture.
Underlying inflation should remain low, although headline inflation is expected to rise modestly due to a pick-up in food prices and planned increases in administered prices for education and health services.
The current account surplus is projected to ease in the near term with slowing external demand although foreign direct investment is expected to remain strong.
clay says to _firefly_():(y) come on Dong
_firefly_ says to MrsBGG():“Downside risks to the outlook arise from the drought, slower global growth, and spillovers from global financial market volatility. Rapidly rising public debt is a concern.
It is reducing fiscal room for maneuver and could pressure domestic interest rates, which could adversely impact corporate and bank performance. Progress has been made in banking-sector and state-owned enterprise (SOE) reforms, and implementation of a number of key measures is now needed. On the upside, rapid implementation of new free-trade agreements could help propel domestic structural reform.
“The mission and the authorities discussed building on recent achievements through a second generation of economic reforms that would strengthen resilience, mitigate risks, and place Vietnam on a higher sustainable growth path that delivers robust long-term prosperity.
_firefly_ says():“The mission and the authorities discussed building on recent achievements through a second generation of economic reforms that would strengthen resilience, mitigate risks, and place Vietnam on a higher sustainable growth path that delivers robust long-term prosperity.
_firefly_ says():Fiscal policy has registered deficits averaging around 6.5 percent of GDP since 2012, driving a sharp increase in public and publicly guaranteed debt that is estimated to reach around 62 percent of GDP this year.
The mission recommended a growth-friendly fiscal consolidation—beginning this year—to reduce the fiscal deficit to around 3 percent of GDP by 2020 and put public debt on a sustainable and downward path.
The consolidation should focus on broadening the revenue base, and safeguarding spending on high-quality public investment in education, health, and infrastructure, while also making resources available to resolve non-performing loans and strengthen capital in state-owned banks.
_firefly_ says():beginning this year
_firefly_ says():The consolidation should focus on broadening the revenue base, and safeguarding spending on high-quality public investment in education, health, and infrastructure, while also making resources available to resolve non-performing loans and strengthen capital in state-owned banks.
_firefly_ says():Sound familiar????
clay says to _firefly_():yep
_firefly_ says():“The mission considered that monetary policy should remain on hold as recent domestic shocks feed through the economy so long as underlying inflation pressure remains muted. Should evidence of second-round effects on inflation emerge, some tightening of monetary policy would be warranted. The recently-introduced flexible exchange-rate mechanism is a commendable development.
Permitting greater exchange-rate flexibility and strengthening monetary policy instruments, while moving gradually towards using inflation as the nominal anchor for monetary policy, will allow Vietnam to safeguard macroeconomic stability while buffering external shocks.
_firefly_ says():The recently-introduced flexible exchange-rate mechanism is a commendable development.
_firefly_ says():will allow Vietnam to safeguard macroeconomic stability while buffering external shocks.
_firefly_ says():“Discussions also covered financial-sector, structural and SOE reforms that are critical for raising productivity and medium-term growth. In particular, accelerating the resolution of non-performing loans in banks and in the Vietnam Asset Management Company,
accompanied by strengthening banks’ capital through increased private-sector participation and budget resources for state-owned banks, improved operational management, and adoption of international financial reporting standards as part of time-bound bank restructuring plans are needed to reinforce macro-financial stability and the foundation for robust growth.
SOE reforms should be accelerated through more rapid and comprehensive equitization and divestment of non-core assets, and transparency of equitization proceeds and their use. Productivity gains would be further supported by creating a level playing field in access to resources for the private sector, supporting research and development, improving the efficiency of public investment, and expanding vocational training to address skills mismatches.”

rcookie says():Washington confirms its insistence on the pillars based in Iraq verdict
April 22, 2016in the media center , reports the comments on Washington confirms its insistence on the pillars based in Iraq ‘s government closed
15-1-20151Iraqi parliament speaker Salim al-Jubouri, received a great moral support in his struggle against the political forces tried to remove him from Office, and the installation of a replacement under sharp political conflict in Iraq, which erupted around the technocrat government, which tried to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi formed and failed due to the reluctance of partners in the political process for any change could affect political and material perks they were getting behind their participation in power.
It came a visit by the US ambassador to Iraq, Stuart Jones, on Thursday to Salim al-Jubouri, in his office as a recognition of the legitimacy of his presidency to the parliament, and a strong message to his opponents that do not recognize the legitimacy of the consequences for the efforts of these opponents to his dismissal.
And it exceeds the US support to Salim al-person, to maintain the pillars of the existing system in Iraq, which the United States established itself in cooperation with Iran after the overthrow of former President Saddam Hussein.
And This system led by the Shiite parties on quotas partisan and sectarian, ethnic, has contributed significantly to the weakening of Iraq and make it away from the possibility of influencing the regional equation, as well as international.
It summarizes the situation in Iraq deteriorating on various security, political, economic and social levels, the case of extreme weakness that characterize today’s Iraq.
And surrounded with the Iraqi regime during the last period significant risks due to intense conflicts that leaked to the opponents of the political arena, as the reason for a state of anxiety in the United States interested Bhetwasal political process launched it, and that appeared to ensure its interests in this rich natural and human Bmekdrath country.
Compounded by the concern that these threats came at a time when the United States was preparing to forcefully return to Iraq from the window of the war to organize Daash, which is heading Washington to constipation Bzmamha after the Iraqi armed forces showed very weak boat collapse, and make way for the Shiite militias loyal to Iran to impose field control over vast areas of Iraq.
rcookie says():The US command expressed a strong interest in protecting the pillars of power in Iraq from the prime minister to the presidency of the parliament.
He described President Barack Obama, Thursday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi as “good” The Iraqi important role for us in the fight against Daash partner “for his country, saying at the conclusion of the US Gulf summit held in the Saudi capital Riyadh.”
He said the Office of the President of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, on Thursday, in a statement, Salim al “received in his office the US ambassador to Iraq, Stuart Jones, During the meeting, they reviewed the political and security developments and the crisis of parliamentary and need to move legal and constitutional steps to maintain national unity by agreeing on a common vision for the exit from the current crisis. ”
And in front of the Iranian American pressure it began parliament crisis, take the way to detente.
He announced sitters House of Representatives at the headquarters of the House of Representatives, on Thursday, the chairman of the parliament (Article by them) made an appeal to dismiss before the Federal Court, stating that they will abide by the court’s decision in this case.
It is likely that the court’s decision in favor of Salim al-Jubouri, what would be a way to save the face of Representatives of the protesters who are in a difficult situation after many of them withdrew due to pressure leaders of the bloc, and they are now unable to achieve a quorum necessary to pass parliamentary decisions are binding.
