“As long as we are part of Iraq we should not be disconnected from Iraq’s political process,” the Kurdish prime minister added.
Kurdish lawmakers left the Iraqi capital late last month as angry protestors stormed the parliament building demanding an end to corruption and institutional and financial reform.
The Kurdish lawmakers were urged by Iraqi PM Haidar Abadi and speaker of parliament Salim Jibouri to return to the capital, but they stressed that they would only heed the decision of the Kurdish political leadership.

Barzani added that the presence of Kurdish MPs in Baghdad was “important for any kind of future relationship between Iraq and Kurdistan,”

da58 says():IS in Iraq losing terrain ‘every single day’ Jihadist group’s ‘ability to conduct large-scale offensive operations has primarily stopped,’ US general says
BY AFP May 12, 2016, 3:10 am Excerpt:
WASHINGTON – The Islamic State group is losing ground in Iraq, struggling to replenish its ranks after it is attacked and is increasingly unable to mount major operations, a US general said Wednesday.
Baghdad-based Major General Gary Volesky said efforts are paying off for US-backed Iraqi security forces, who are trying to recapture vast tracts of territory seized by IS jihadists in 2014, including the key cities of Mosul and Fallujah in the Anbar and Nineveh provinces.
The jihadists’ “ability to conduct large-scale offensive operations has primarily stopped,” Volesky told Pentagon reporters in a video call.

Economist reveals that Saudi Arabia would face “structurally bankruptcy.”
News source: Ali Salman Section: Economic page May 12, 2016 6:20 am
Zak warned Schreiber hedge fund ceo point State Capitol “of impending financial disaster in Saudi Arabia, was Schreiber had predicted two years ago, falling oil prices, expectations were misplaced.
At the annual Conference of the investment, “Sun”, last week said Schreiber, as American media network quoted CNN on Monday May 9: “in front of Saudi Arabia two or three years before it hit the wall,” predicted that Saudi Arabia will face “structurally” bankruptcy as it faced threats of huge spending commitments are double and a drop in prices. Commented “no wonder they (the Saudis) owe huge sums.”
According to reports, predicting future oil prices decline Schreiber in 2014, when the oil price was over $ 100, expect this to win his company billion dollars, dropping the black gold prices up to $ 26 in the slightest.
The Economist believes that falling oil prices create a crisis in Saudi Arabia and other countries that rely on oil as a main source of income in their budget, with Saudi Arabia under it with spending cuts and scrambled to collect the cash, and that it intends to obtain a loan of 10 billion dollars from a group of banks, which may pave the way for the first international bond sale.
The problem faced is they need higher oil prices to more than $ 100 a barrel for breakeven in its budget, and then start Configure surpluses.
The Kingdom spent heavily on additional services for their populations aged around 30 million, so the “huge social spending programme of Saudi Arabia headed for collision with cheap oil,” Schreiber.
These fears may help explain why the Saudis planning to sell a share of 5% of the country’s economic crown jewel, the giant State-owned oil company, Aramco.
Commented Schreiber on the issue, saying: “if they sold the goose that lays the golden eggs, how will finance anything? It’s crazy. Saudi Arabia pledged her future to gain time. ”

tman23 says():This is what is important……remember this is an election year and the nose dive of the economy will NOT favor Dems….. The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week to the highest level in more than a year, raising further concerns about the health of the labor market in the wake of a slowdown in job gains in April.
Other data on Thursday showed import prices increased in April for a second straight month, suggesting that the disinflationary impulse from a strong dollar and lower oil prices, which has helped to hold inflation well below the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target, was fading.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 20,000 to a seasonally adjusted 294,000 for the week ended May 7, the highest level since late February 2015, the Labor Department said. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast initial claims slipping to 270,000 in the latest week.
“Jobless claims have moved sharply higher in recent weeks, reinforcing concerns that labor market conditions have softened in response to the slowdown in the economy in recent months,” said Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
