He said the Secretary General Abdul Rahim Al Rifai in aninterview for Alsumaria News, Kuwait and signed with the Iraqi delegation recently visited on a document that

They think they can lie to us. Were not going to deal with that. Isnt it very interesting all the smoke screens? Vic: Jumps in for commentary on the first article read. The biggest problems were having with the two ports, Mubarak and Faw. The economists are concerned that when they Port Faw, upon completion will lose 60% of its maritime business. It has to do with

timing. Iraq was going to build the port long ago, but the designs from a variety of engineering studies, shallow channel & dredging issues, and sea life, fisherman lifestyles, and more have slowed down their plans, that are not even economic related. Theyre trying not to squeeze the channel too much. About 14 miles belongs to each Iraq and Kuwait, but theyre trying to preserve a lot of other aspects to this cultural and historical access point. It all looks good, and both sides can make a lot of points and arguments. We know that Hyundai is building the port for both countries, and yes, things are going well, but there are a lot of considerations and factors much deeper in the fabric that are also of importance in their rush or haste to build economic growth through this construction for both countries.

Yukie: Killer! Joey has to bring the watermelonand wants to know who is bringing the coconuts? Joey like this one a lot; and reads: Iraq dreams big with infrastructure projects Yahoo News [8/23/2011] In Iraq where renovating a single street can take years, government plans for a multibillion dollar high-speed train to rival Japans bullet train have been greeted with skepticism by many Iraqis struggling to get even basic electricity services. The $10 billion project to build a railway connecting Baghdad to the southern provinces is the latest in a series of large-scale infrastructure proposals by Iraqs government to try to rebuild the OPEC oil-producing country after years of war. Iraq needs development in almost every sector in a country where piles of rubble and incomplete buildings are commonplace more than eight years after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. Most Iraqis, fed-up by the lack of jobs and pre-occupied with food rations and security concerns, have to contend with an acute water shortage and receive only a few hours of electricity a day from the national grid. Baghdad, the capital, is plagued by badly paved roads and blast walls erected to protect buildings from bombings.

The government cannot even accomplish projects that are much easier than the high speed train, said Ahmed Saleh, an architectural engineer. The airport road they kept talking about for three years is still in bad shape. Some analysts said the government was indulging in wishful thinking, refusing to acknowledge that a lack of funding, technical capabilities and continuing violence have put the break on development and foreign investment. Violence from Iraqs war has fallen sharply since the height of sectarian strife in 20062007, but almost daily attacks, bombings and assassinations make security costs a huge part of foreign investment expense. While oil investment is flowing into the country, investors in other sectors often complain about bureaucracy and red tape. Political infighting in the government is also helping delay projects in areas such as electricity and telecommunications. In reality it is not possible to implement these projects on the ground, said Yahya Kubaisi, an analyst at Iraqs Institute for Strategic Studies. They are just dreams and wishful thinking by government officials. OIL-Fueled RECOVERY Rebuilding Iraqs roads and transport system is vital for foreign oil companies to transport equipment as they develop the countrys petroleum industry. Iraq, which has the worlds third biggest crude reserves, hopes to rebuild the country using its oil revenues, which account for more than 95 percent of state income. But Iraq has little public transportation, relying mostly on taxis and minibuses and a dilapidated railway system connecting the provinces. Baghdad signed a memorandum of understanding with French engineering group Alstom in June to build a 650 km-long railway and an express train, an official in the Transport Ministry said. An initial agreement to build an overground urban metro line in Baghdad for $1.5 billion was also signed with Alstom in May. The first part of the project is expected to be completed in 2014. Other large scale projects include the Sadr city slum 10 x 10 plan to build 150,000 flats, stores, parks and cinemas over 10 years. It was first announced in 2008, but Iraq has yet to award the deal to anyone. The government says projects like the high-speed train and urban metro are achievable and blames the slow progress on budget shortfalls. The projects the ministries have put forward are realistic and serious, said Iraqs Planning Minister Ali al-Shukri. Their plans and estimated costs are ready but the issue all ministries face is that of financing. Iraqs 2011 budget was $82.6 billion based on an average oil price of $76.50 per barrel and the deficit at $13.4 billion. The Finance Ministry drew the 2012 budget at $98.3 billion based on oil prices of $85 a barrel with a deficit of $13.7 billion. It still needs cabinet and parliamentary approval. STAGGERED PAYMENTS Shukri said the government was leaning toward staggered payment contracts, where payments will be divided over a longer period of time, with interest, in order to go ahead with such big projects.

In addition to an overground metro, Baghdad is also looking at the construction of an underground rail transport system. Plans for the underground, which date back to the 1980s, were first revived about three years ago. So far, the design of the metro is still being drawn up. Baghdad Mayor Saber al-Issawi said part of the 2012 budget had been allocated to funding the metro, estimated to cost $3-4 billion, and asked for patience, saying infrastructure projects took a lot of time across the globe. Preparation of huge projects, even in advanced countries take three, four or even five years, he said. It is a matter of time. http://www.iraqdirectory.com/DisplayNews.aspx?id=16596 Joey: How about that? Vic: thats very interesting that you read that article just as I wanted to read this one that complements it: Vic reads: Iraq and Jordan ~ Jordan formally agree to extend the railway line from Aqaba to Iraqi border 23/08/2011 Jordan formally agree to extend the railway line from Aqaba to Iraqi border Baghdad / follow-up justice The Jordanian government agreed to extend the formal plans Skki from the port of Aqaba to the Iraqi border length of 500 km.

Yukon: Vic, how long is 180km per hour? Patriot: About 120 MPH. Yukon: Is that high speed relative to the bullet trains in Japan? Vic: Normally the bullet trains are for passenger transport. But a train doing 120 mph is not bad. Patriot: Last week the bullet train for 70 Billion was about 240 Km/hour which is 140 MPH, right, Vic? Joey: Sounds like theyre getting a lot of money from somewhere, doesnt it guys? Joey: Asks Vic if he has a lead foot? Vic: agrees his last ticket was for 120 MPH, so yes.

Among the question marks the continued attacks on Iraqi territory from Iran and Turkey, without moving a muscle of Baghdad! Despite the passage of eight years on the U.S. invasion, which had to dismantle the Iraqi air force, and the destruction of Iraqi air defense systems and military fleet of helicopters, but has not made any efforts to rebuild the Iraqi air force.

Revealed Nouri about a deal in F-16 with the United States, as well as the presence of 18 aircraft of Mig in Serbia deposited by the former regime for the purpose of rehabilitation, and will be recovered soon, but he stressed that the withdrawal of U.S. troops will not be by strengthening the Iraqi air force. For its part, revealed the Iraqi Ministry of Defense Ministrys efforts to buy advanced air defense systems, fighter planes and aircraft from Washington, and the Czech Republic, the ministry did not explain the nature of this system and its ability to resist any foreign aggression suffered by Iraq. In a related context, member of parliament for the Iraqi List, Omar al-Jubouri of the island, the reality of the Iraqi Air Force currently can not protect the Iraqi airspace, as it lost much of its requirements and potential of art, and need rehabilitation in the

processing of aircraft and air defense system and the system of radars, as well as the training of pilots and technical personnel chock.

Lack of protection in the meantime, saw the Iraqi military expert team first corner Raad Hamdani, that the protection of Iraqi airspace is difficult and complicated at the present time, and attributed the beginning of the deterioration of the Iraqi air force to the embargo on Iraq in the nineties of the last century. He said the island revealed that the most serious in this matter is that the cadres of the Air Force and their capacities and capabilities and infrastructure of the academies, and factories over, like any institution of the other army after 2003. And risks that may face Iraq in light of the capacity of air is weak, said al-Hamdani said that Mesopotamia has a lot of political problems and border and economic ties with neighboring countries, and the Air Force today is the decisive factor in the start and end an armed conflict with any party or country, pointing out that the Iraq is the weakest countries in the region in its ability to protect the airspace. http://www.babnews.com/inp/view.asp?ID=43953 Joey adds: Thats huge to come out and say that on the news, saying for Iran to hear, that they admit they are weakest in the area; Very big statement; and certainly timed to reinforce the need for our troops to stay.

Vic figures $51 million for 795 home = $64,150 per homeit seems like they are actually starting to get construction started on homes, right? Joey agrees and adds: And do you know how that is possible, Vic? Because of all the articles weve been seeing about banks, and the Multi-National mergers or partnerships with smaller Iraqi banks. Remember that Warka is planning to merge with State Charter, who has 120 banking locations internationally and is now able to offer loans of any amount or quantity. And they have just said that they are so glad that they get to merge with Warka because those types of opportunities have almost faded away in Iraq. The banking system is almost in place!

I remember them referring to the concept of dropping of the zeros as their radical solution. Were hearing it again. It sounds like Shabibi needs the new currency, in order to fix the inflation, and the people are using the code words, for RVradical solution is lift the zeros which means redenominate the currency by releasing the low denominations of notes and coins so the Revaluation can give them purchasing power. Deb: This sounds like a permission slip for Shabibi to implement the fix, right? Deb: Gives a thank you to Bondlady for the best article of the day! Patriot: reads a question about a June 1st article Joey read, where the query believed she read that Shabibi has stated, give me a three day weekend or holiday and I can give you an RV. Joey: Doesnt remember saying that, but does agree that the persons memory could be about discussions theyve had and their long held beliefs that it could come over a holiday. Vic adds: Weve never known whether it would be their holiday or a US holiday, but the upcoming week or two has both countries having a holiday. Labor day for the US, and the Iraqi Eid ends on the 29th with three days of festivals, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday would conclude Eid, and then with Friday being their holy day and Saturday finishing the weekend off so that could be going into a 5-6 day holiday there. Vic: reminds that we have our own special holiday with Labor day coming up, too! Patriot: Yea folks, theyre just following the process, as weve been saying. Go get yourself The Iraq Project and youll see that they are taking that document step by step. Steve reads email: Canada Q: Asks about several articles referring to Allawi and other politicians seem to be still seeking defense minister position candidates and decisions from the parliament with no end in sight? Joey: They decided on those ministers in March. Theyve been positively in there positions for months now.

Steve: Thanks God that we have Joey; and warns people if they read the daily news without the foundational archive of details and established facts from which theyve been building, it can be very confusing and frustrating. Joey INSTRUCTS: The whole argument was about who got to choose the ministers? And it was granted to Prime Minister Maliki, months ago. The cabinet belongs to Maliki, so he gets to choose the people that work around and for him, as far back as March 18th, 2011 there was a consensus of a vote, for Mr. Obeidi to sit in the position of Defense Minister. I find it very interesting that they tell us we now have dual ministers in this role, and I thinks its very strange that Mr. Maliki and parliament decided to reduce the size of the ministerial staff. I truly believe that it is very possible when articles tell us they have these candidates, it is either that Mr. Obeidi is both the Defense and the Security Minister, or that Mr. Obeidi is indeed both the Defense and Interior Ministers. And when you look at all that the Defense Minister encompasses, it would make sense that one man to occupy both of those two interrelated offices. But the mans name is, Mr. Obeidi, and he has been Malikis choice since day one. And when they said again today, it is Malikis right to choose his own cabinet, youd better bet it does, and you bet he chose Obeidi. Joey: It is done, it has been done. Patriot: And they are doing a lot of recycling of information. Not the day it was posted, but the day it was writtenmaybe a couple years ago, sometimes, and gets put back into press again Call Continues; Transcript Ends: Loves Love (Scott)
