MED'S CHAT APRIL 6th 11:30PM

Med says to (22:57:47):
HEY GANG
I SEE SOME VERY GOOD NEWS CAME OUT

tudor
evening Med

Med
HI TUDOR
AND IT PROBABLY SAVED MALIKI FROM A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE
THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE DELIVERED A WRITTEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
THAT THEY WILL HONOR ALL THE ERBIL AGREEMENT WITHIN 90 DAYS

tudor
that was good news

dinarfrank
Hello Med. How are you tonight?

tudor
apparently Moons got them moving along

Med
AND THAT ALSO MEANS THE STRATEGIC COUNSEL RUN BY ALLAWI
HI FRANK
I AM VERY GOOD
AND ALSO

dinarfrank
Great

Med
NAJAIFI AGAIN DENIED THE HOLD ON THE 5 LAWS
WHICH BASICLY PUTS A STOP TO MALIKI BEING ABLE TO INFLUENCE THE SUPREME COURT

tudor
don't ya love it

Med
AND IT IS ALSO THE OTHER LAWS THAT PUT AN END TO LOOKING AWAY FROM CORRUPTION
AND WILL ALLOW PROSECUTION OF ANYONE
NO MATTER HOW HIGH UP
I HONESTYLY BELIEVE
AND I THINK THE IRAQI LIST ALREADY KNOWS THIS
THAT IF YOU TALLIED UP THE FUNDS OVER THE LAST 5 YRS
THAT HAVE BEEN STOLEN
YOU COULD HAVE PAID OFF KUWAIT
AND HAD MONEY LEFT OVER

tudor
that is amazing

Med
IN FACT WE KNOW HOW MUCH ALREADY
THAT 30 BILLION USD IS MISSING
AND NOONE KNOWS WHERE IT IS
JUST HOW DO YOU MISS 30 BILLION USD
IT ISN'T LIKE IT HAS FALLEN IN THE COUCH CUSHIONS

tudor
I want that couch

Med
ME TOO

jonmac
sounds like time for a little cavity search

tudor
ewwww

Med
NOW TOMORROW FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND
THE WTO WILL MAKE A DECISION
ON IRAQS FUTURE IN THE WTO THIS YEAR
BUT DOES IRAQ WANT TO ACCEPT IT RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT

tudor
do you think it could happen? I am in doubt

Med
I THINK IT WOULD BE AN ECONOMIC MISTAKE
FOR THEM TO TURN IT DOWN
NOW FROM THE WTO'S OWN WORDS
IRAQ HAS QUALIFIED
SO WITH THAT STATEMENT
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY DO NOT ACCEPT THEM
I WOULD SURELY LIKE TO KNOW THE REASONING
SO TOMORROW IS OR COULD BE A HUGE DAY
FOR ALL OF US
IT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT START FOR IRAQ TO ENTER THE FREE MARKET ECONOMY
AND FOR US TO FINALLY SEE SOME LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

tudor
if they do get into WTO, how long can they keep from an RV?

Med
NOW I WENT BACK TO LAST SUMMER
IT IS REALLY NOT AN ISSUE OF HOW LONG
THEY STILL WANT A FREE MARKET ECONOMY

tudor
yes they do

Med
AND THEY ARE UNDER A TIMETABLE NOW WITH THE IMF
THERE WAS A STATEMENT YESTERDAY
Med says to (23:10:49):
BY IRAQ THAT THEY WERE TURNING THEIR ATTENTIONS TO THE IMF
AND THEIR DEALINGS WITH THEM
ALL OF THESE ARE PART OF THE PUZZLE
AND ALL OF THEM CAN ONLY HELP IRAQ GET OUT OF THE ECONOMIC SLUMP THEY ARE IN
AND THE ECONOMIC SLUMP IS NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH OIL THEY TAKE IN
IT IS ABOUT THE UNEMPLOYED
AND PUTTING THEM TO WORK AND OFF SOCIAL WELFARE
THAT IRAQ SPENDS BILLIONS ON
IF THEY CAN STOP HAVING TO SUPPORT MILLIONS
THEY CAN USE THOSE BILLIONS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

tudor
that would also help build self-esteme, and pride for the Iraqis with jobs

Got-UR-back dino
Looks like the new mop has hit the ground running, touting coming jobs

Med
I SEE THEY ARE MAKING PROGRSS ON THE MASS CLEANUP OF GARBAGE AND WASTE

Got-UR-back dino
hi med

Med
HI GOT UR BACK

tudor
thought you'd like that one

Med
I DO
WHEN YOU LIVE IN FILTH
IT BREEDS SO MANY BAD THINGS
DISEASE

tudor
that's not a good thing

Med
AND BRINGS DOWN THE MORAL OF THE PEOPLE
NOPE
WHEN WE WERE IN THE FIELD
CLEAN WATER SUPPLY AND SANITARY CONDITIONS WERE A MUST
AND A PRIORITY

tudor
don't want disentary

Got-UR-back dino
instills pride too

Med
I AM SO SUPRISED THAT WE DID NOT SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS
THAT WE ALLOWED THIS KIND OF FILTH TO GROW WHEN WE WERE IN THE CITIES
IT IS SO UNLIKE THE U.S.
AND OUR MILITARY TO JUST LET IT SLIDE

tudor
the bases are good though aren't they?

Med
OH CERTAINLY
THEY ARE NO ISSUE AT ALL

Got-UR-back dino
at first it was too dangerous to put clean up crews along the roadways

tudor
are the military allowed to dictate clean up of a foreign town?

Med
OH I UNDERSTAND WHY GOT UR BACK

cdjsilver51
Med, what is the timing with the IMF you speak of?

Med
WE CERTAINLY ARE
WE ARE THE OCCUPATION FORCE

tudor
thanks, didn't know that

Med
YW
FROM WHAT IS IN THE MEDIA
IT LOOKS LIKE END OF MAY
THEY HAVE SET DEADLINES FOR CHANGES IN IRAQ
IN RETURN FOR THE FUNDING
NOW ONE MAJOR PROBLEM THE IMF HAD WITH IRAQ
WAS THE MONETARY POLICY
AND THE IMF SAID IT WAS NOT WORKING ANYMORE
AND THAT IF THEY WERE TO GET FUNDING ANYMORE
Med says to (23:21:03):
THEY HAD TO MAKE DRASTIC CHANGES
AND UNTIL THEY WOULD AGREE TO IT
NO MORE FUNDS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED
NOW ALSO
THE IMF TOLD IRAQ THAT THEY WILL CHANGE TO A ONE COUNTRY CURRENCY
THAT ONLY ONE CURRENCY WILL BE USED TO PAY FOR INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS

tudor\
bring on the IQD

Med
THAT MEANS THE USD WILL BE OUT
NOW SINCE MOST COUNTRIES
DO NOT ACCEPT THE DINAR IN THE G20
EXCEPT FOR CHINA AND RUSSIA
AND IRAQ IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE GOODS CHINA SENDS TO IRAQ
THEY ARE OVERPRICED AND OF POOR QUALITY
NO MATTER WHAT LITTLE COUNTRY YOU SEE MAKE TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH THE GOI
AS THE HEAD OF TBI SAID IN HIS CNN INTERVIEW
THE ONE COUNTRY THEY NEED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IS TRADE WITH THE U.S.
NOW I GOT OFF ONE POINT
I WANTED TO MAKE BEFORE I LEAVE
BACK IN JULY
MANY OF THE IRAQI SR ECONOMISTS
CHASTISED SHABIBI
FOR NOT KEEPING HIS WORD
ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SAID THEY WERE TURNING OVER THE RV TO THE NEW GOVT WHEN IT IS FORMED
THEY ACCUSED SHABIBI OF BREAKING HIS WORD TO THEM
CHANGE OF THE DINAR TO A FOREIGN EXCHANGE CURRENCY WAS TO COME IN 2010
AND WERE DISAPPOINTED IN HIM NOT KEEPING HIS WORD

tudor
yes, I remember all of that
it also disappointed all of us

Busyman
Med. Good evening. back in early March you posted an article about WTO Customs trainer. Do you feel they would have posted this job if they were goin gto wait year to join?

Med
SO YOU SEE MY POINT
I HOPE NOT
BUT ON THE FIRST ISSUE
SEE WHY WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH ENTHUSIASM
ON THE RV THIS YEAR
AND LATE LAST YEAR
IT WASN'T LIKE WE WERE GUESSING
THE SIGNS WERE OBVIOUS
AND IT WAS SO MUCH ANNOUNCED IN THE MEDIA
BY ALL INVOLVED

tudor
yes, we were taken to the edge a few times

Med says to (23:30:32):
EVEN WITH THE KUDOS BY THE IMF
Med
FOR THEM MAKING THE DECISION
AND THESE WERE NOT ISOLATED
WERE IT WAS JUST IN ONE MEDIA OUTLET
THEY WERE IN ALL THE MAJOR NEWS SOURCES IN IRAQ
AND REMEMBER WHEN MSNBC
WAS DOING ALL THE DINAR TALK

tudor
it was like an epidemic

Med
THEN THEY SAID THEY HAD A MAJOR NEWS STORY ON THE DINAR
THEN THE PROGRAM GOT CANCELLED

tudor
one of many let downs
but we have to stay positive

Got-UR-back dino
see any similarities in then and now?

Med
NO YOU MISUNDERSTAND
I WAS NOT SAYING IT TO BE PESIMISTIC
I SAID IT TO BE OPTIMISTIC

tudor
oh no, I know that
that is why I am optimistic

Med
TO ME IT IS JUST LIKE A FALSE START IN A TRACK MEET
THEY LINE UP AND TRY AGAIN
IT IS BECAUSE OF THESE VARY MISHAPS OR MISFIRES
I BELIEVE THEY WILL FINALLY GET IT RIGHT

tudor
there have been many set-backs, but much more forward motion lately to be motivated by

Med
I ALSO BELIEVE THAT BAN KI MOON IS USING CHAPTER VII
FOR MORE THAN KUWAIT
THAT HE IS USING IT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE ARE GONE
THAT THE RIGHT PROGRAMS AND DIRECTION ARE STRONGLY IN PLACE
Med says to (23:37:22):
HE UNDERSTANDS THAT WITH MALIKI IN OFFICE
AND HIM NOT KEEPING HIS WORD
ON THE ERBIL AGREEMENT
WAS A BAD THING FOR STABILITY
AND THAT IF THE LIST PULLED ITS SUPPORT
ALONG WITH THE KURDS
MALIKI'S GOVT WAS OVER

tudor
Moon has become more forceful, I like that. I think they are a little scared of him

moose
i have been impressed with ban ki moon's resolve on solving iraq's issues for long term success

Med
AND ALL GAINED WOULD BE LOST
YES MOOSE
WHEN HE TOLD IRAQ
THEY WERE STAYING ON CHAPTER VII FOR ONE MORE YEAR
SO THEY COULD LEARN TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS
IT WAS HIM SHOWING HE WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE IN JUST BECAUSE TIME WENT BY

moose
exactly

Med
AND WHEN MALIKI LOST THE ELECTION
AND THREATENED TO USE THE MILITARY
EVEN THOUGH THE REPORTS
ON IRAQ THAT THEY HAD COMPLIED
WITH WHAT WAS NEEDED TO BE REMOVED FROM TRADE SANCTIONS
I SAID HE WOULD BE PUNISHED
AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT REMOVE THEM
AND THEY DID NOT
THEY WAITED ALMOST ANOTHER 9 MONTHS
BEFORE MOON WOULD ALLOW A VOTE

moose
i think ban ki moon's toughness has surprised iraq

Got-UR-back dino
he's covering all the things that concern us outside the ME

Med
I THINK THAT THE UN HAVING A BACKBONE
SURPRISES US ALL

moose
yes, i was surprised and relieved

Got-UR-back dino
everyone has gained from this experience

Med
YES THE UN NEEDS TO USE IT RESOURCES
AND IT'S INFLUENCE
AS IT WAS INTENDED FOR
AND FOR DECADES
ESPECIALLY DURING THE COLD WAR
THEY WERE WORTHLESS
IF THE U.S. DIDNT DO IT UNDER THE FLAG OF THE UN
IT DIDNT GET DONE
YOU SEE THIS NOW WITH US MOVING AWAY FROM LYBIA
AND SAYING IT IS A UN THING NOW
WE HELPED SOME
BUT NOW DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO
OK GANG I AM DONE FOR TONIGHT

Got-UR-back dino
med, article saying this week not 3 months from now

Med
ON WHAT

Got-UR-back dino
erbil

Med
I AM TALKING ABOUT THE ONE
THAT THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE
DELIVERED TO THE LIST
IT IS IN THE FORUMS
JUST POSTED TONIGHT
NOT BARZANI'S
BUT IF IT IS THIS WEEK
FANTASTIC

Got-UR-back dino
I posted the one saying it is bs for the 3 months

Med
OK
I HAD EDITED IT

Got-UR-back dino
good stuff

Med
IT WAS
THAT IS WHY I GAVE IT 5 STARS

Got-UR-back dino
oh, ok

Med
THERE WAS A DEADLINE
IN IT
AND IT IS ONE THAT CAN BE HELD UP AGAINST MALIKI
AND THERE ARE REPRECUSSIONS FOR NOT KEEPING IT
AS IS SAID IN THE ARTICLE
OK GN GANG
OR I WILL BE HERE ALL NIGHT
TAKE CARE
GN
