CLINTON: IS IRAQ READY FOR AMERICAN INVESTORS?
January 7, 2010
At the end of her speech to more than a thousand US and Iraqi businesspeople packed in a hotel ballroom, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton threw an American spin on an Arab proverb: "Dawn does not come twice to wake a man - or a woman." Her point...? It's time to invest in Iraq.
It sounds crazy. Though the violence has ebbed, terrorists still make their presence felt with deadly attacks. Challenges - from dividing oil revenues to the future of the northern city of Kirkuk - threaten to split the country. Even if Iraq hangs together, it faces a daunting to-do list of reforms before it becomes a place many foreign businesses would set foot in.
Yet, like Secretary Clinton, some consultants and more than a few US businesspeople are making the case for Iraq: This uncertain period is precisely when foreign companies can reap the biggest gains. Bob Flavell had heard the same hype, but he wanted hard data about sales prospects for his company, Base 1 Welding Supply. When he asked an Iraqi trade official for it, Mr. Flavell was floored. "The numbers he was talking about, just for our product line, would exceed all of what California exported all of last year to Iraq," Flavell says. "Those are big numbers."
Iraq, to put it mildly, needs everything: more than 2 million housing units, half a million hospital beds, seemingly endless technology and know-how for an escalating oil and gas extraction industry, the rebuilding of the nation's once-robust education system from top to bottom.

IRAQI PM PRESS RELEASE
جمهورية العراق The Republic of Iraq
رئاسة الوزراء Prime minister
المكتب الإعلامي لرئيس الوزراء Information Office of the Prime Minister
بيان [b]صحفي PRESS RELEASE [/b]
الاحد Sunday 10 /1/2010 10 / 1 / 2010
رئيس الوزراء السيد نوري كامل المالكي : من يبيع صوته يبيع وطنه وضميره وكرامته ومستقبله Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki: It sells itself and sells his country and his conscience, dignity and future
استقبل دولة رئيس الوزراء السيد نوري كامل المالكي بمكتبه الرسمي اليوم وفدا كبيرا يضم شيوخ عشائر ووجهاء وصابئة ومن مختلف مكونات محافظة ميسان . His Excellency Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki in his official office today and a large delegation of tribal leaders and elders, Sabians, and the various components of Maysan Province.
ودعا السيد رئيس الوزراء في كلمة له اثناء اللقاء الى الاستعداد لاخراج العراق نهائيا من مخلفات الماضي والازمات عبر الانتخابات ودقة الاختيار والتحلي بالوعي والحذر من تسلل الذين يتحدثون علنا عن اعادة العراق الى عهود الدكتاتورية والحزب الواحد والمليشيات والعصابات ، وطرد المنادين بعودة الماضي والدكتاتورية والمقابر الجماعية والطائفية من العملية السياسية عبر الانتخابات والاصابع البنفسجية . He called on the Prime Minister in his speech during the meeting, to be ready to pull Iraq out of the final remnants of the past and the crisis through elections and the accuracy of the selection and exercise awareness and caution against the infiltration of people who talk publicly about Iraq back to the eras of dictatorship and one-party militias and gangs, and advocates the expulsion of the past and the return of dictatorship and mass graves and sectarian the political process through elections and finger radiation.
وقال سيادته ان العراق على مفترق طرق وبعد اقل من شهرين تنتظره ملحمة انتخابية تاريخية ، كل العالم ودول المنطقة مهتمة بها وتتصارع هنا وكأن العراق ليس بلد الحضارة والانسانية الذي علم الانسانية القراءة والكتابة والعلوم ، واذا لم تحسنوا الاختيار فقد يضيع الامن والاستقرار وكل ماتحقق وتعود الدكتاتورية والعصابات ونعود الى نقطة الصفر . He said that Iraq's sovereignty at a crossroads, and after less than two months waiting for an epic electoral history, all over the world and the region interested in it are battling here, and if Iraq is not a country of civilization and humanity, who taught humanity reading, writing, science, and if the selection was lost Thassanoa security and stability and all scored, and the return of dictatorship and guerrilla we're back to square one.
واضاف : ان الدول لاتبنى بتغليب المصلحة الفردية والحزبية على مصالح الشعب والوطن ، والطائفية لاتبني بلدا واعتمادها يهدم الدولة ، وان هدفنا هو الحفاظ على ماتحقق وتطويره والوصول الى النتيجة المطلوبة وهي ان يكون العراق موحدا وقويا وبسيادة كاملة لاتتجاوز عليه الدول وتتدخل في شؤونه ، يقوم على العدالة والمساواة ونبذ التمييز . He added: States to make my own primacy of individual interests and party interests of the people and the homeland, and the sectarian make my own country and undermine the adoption of the state, and our aim is to keep the scored, and development and access to the desired result, which is that Iraq is united and strong and full sovereignty to exceed by States and interfere in its affairs, based on justice and equality and non-discrimination.
واكد السيد رئيس الوزراء ان الحزب يجب ان لايقدم على البلد ولايجوز ان يثري على حساب الشعب فالاحزاب تشكل لخدمة المواطنين والحفاظ على الوطن ، ومن المعيب استنساخ تجربة حزب البعث الذي يميز بين العراقيين على اساس الانتماء فهذه السياسية يجب ان لاتعود ابدا، وعلى جميع ابناء الشعب ان يحسنوا الاختيار في الانتخابات وان يتحملوا المسؤولية وان يقولوا نعم ويعطوها حقها ، فلهذه الكلمة ضريبة واستحقاق وتشكيل تيار قوي هادر للحفاظ على القيم عبر الفحص والتشخيص الدقيق والاختيار الصائب بعيدا عن المجاملة والقرابة والحسابات الحزبية . The Prime Minister also underscored that the party must provides little for the country and may not get rich at the expense of parties are constituted to serve the citizens and the preservation of the homeland, and defective reproduction of the experience of the Baath Party, which distinguishes between the Iraqis on the basis of political affiliation this should never become accustomed to, and all the people that improve choice in elections, and take responsibility and say yes and give it right, the floor is for these tax benefit and the formation of a strong current roaring to preserve the values through the examination and accurate diagnosis and correct choice out of courtesy, kinship and party accounts.
وحذر السيد رئيس الوزراء المواطنين من بيع اصواتهم ،قائلا : من يبيع صوته يبيع وطنه وضميره وكرامته ومستقبله ، كما حذر القوى السياسية من اللجوء الى هذه السياسة وضرورة الابتعاد عن ظاهرة شراء الاصوات (لانها خيانة وفساد فلاتكونوا وسائط وجسور للفساد وتخريب الذمم بالشعارات والاعلام المضلل) ، مؤكدا ان العراق سيخرج قويا منتصرا اذا اخذنا بالاعتبار التشخيص الدقيق في الاختيار والحفاظ على المنجزات التي تحققت على المستويات السياسية والامنية والاقتصادية. He warned the Prime Minister of citizens from the sale of their voices, saying: It sells itself and sells his country and his conscience, dignity and future, and also warned the political forces to resort to this policy and the need to move away from the phenomenon of vote buying (for it is a betrayal and corruption Flatkonowa media and bridges of corruption and sabotage receivables slogans and misleading media) He stressed that Iraq would emerge victorious if we take strong account of accurate diagnosis in the selection and preservation of the achievements made at the political, security and economic development.
واضاف السيد رئيس الوزراء في جانب اخر من كلمته : على الذين يحاسبون الحكومة ان يحاسبوا انفسهم اولا فليس هناك بلد لايصادق فيه البرلمان على الموازنة العامة وليس بهذا المنطق تبنى الدول وليس هذا مجالا للاختلاف ، فأغلب القوانين معطلة بسبب الخلافات بين الكتل السياسية او تنتظر مقايضة قانون بقانون . The Prime Minister in another part of his speech: those who are accountable government be held accountable themselves first, there is no country for Aisadeg by Parliament on the state budget, but not the reasoning adopted countries and is not an area of disagreement, most of the laws idle because of the differences between the political blocs or waiting for swap Law Law .
ودعا رئيس الوزراء الى معالجة هذه الاوضاع بالتوجه الكثيف نحو صناديق الاقتراع والاختيار الدقيق بالعدسات المكبرة ، واختيار الاصلح وتكوين كتلة او كتلتين كبيرتين لاقامة حكومة ناجحة بعيدا عن المحاصصة ، تسير امور الدولة وتشرع مائة قانون معطل وتمضي بتحسين الخدمات ، فلا امل بخروج العراق بوجود المحاصصة او التوافقية بل بالشراكة الحقيقية وبالتحالفات التي يمكن ان تحصل داخل البرلمان . The Prime Minister called to address this situation to go to the polling stations intensive and careful selection of a magnifying lens, and choose the best and configure a cluster or two sizeable chunks of the successful establishment of a government away from quotas, moving matters of state law and proceed with a hundred disabled, go to improving services, there is hope that Iraq will the existence of quotas or consensual but genuine partnership and alliances that can get inside the parliament.
وجدد سيادته الدعوة الى ابناء العشائر للاصطفاف مع الدولة واجهزتها الامنية كما فعلوا خلال السنوات الماضية ، مؤكدا المضي بدعم العشائر حتى تشكيل المجلس الوطني لعشائرالعراق الذي يؤدي الى الشراكة الحقيقية والوحدة وطنية . He renewed the call for sovereignty, tribal lining up with the state and its security forces as they did during the past years, adding further support to the formation of clans National Council for Ashairalarac which leads to genuine partnership and national unity.

SKEETER POST - Today at 1:13 pm
The latest word on the RV of the Iraqi Dinar is that there will be an RV this month of Janurary 2010. The question is, is it really true? I am hearing all sorts of information on this as being a possibility and I am also hearing that this is a fact. I am only hearing the so called facts in chat rooms but no one person is backing it up with facts. So, yesterday I decided to go into my bank to sit down with my banker to ask a professional his opinion. This is what he said: As with any investments there is risk and with risk comes only chances to become more wealthy thaN you currently are. So you have IQD and I said "yes". Thats definietly a risk however its one worth taking. "How do you figure I ask?" These are his exact words... "This bank holds a lot of IQD, this bank doesn't make irrational decisions. We started off very small and now are ranked in the top 5 banks in the country(curently #4). We have built a trust with our shareholders to invest wisely thus being very effective at yielding high gains for them. The board voted to invest in the IQD aprox. 1 1/2 years ago. The amount of money we invested is an amout we were only willing to keep under the threshold for 2 years. So with that being said, we are expecting a marginal return on investment by the end of May 2010. If you have any Dinar, expect to see your ROI by middle second quarter this year if not sooner. I said thanks, drove straight to Burger King and bought a Wopper value meal...Let it all sink in..then determined "I will be rich by July". I will end by saying " Hope he's right", and he probably is !!!
