The leadership of the National Alliance meets in the presence of Abadi and warns of the opposition Congress of Higher interest project
....
The leader of the Iraqi National Alliance spoke out against the actions seen coming from the US Congress with regards to directly providing arms by the US to the Peshmerga and Sunni tribesmen saying this would be contrary to what is best for the Iraqi people....they seek unity right now and for the US to attempt such a move would destroy the good that has been built over the past 6-8 months....
Just look at how the differing factions have come together to fight DAASH....Peshmerga forces, Iraqi Security Forces, Popular Crowd, the Sunni tribesmen, all pulling together to defeat DAASH....there is no cause for the US to attempt such an effort as they suggest it will only serve to splinter Iraq which they are trying to keep things intact.

Parliamentary committees discuss the draft Kurdistan law firm to explore oil
Here is the Kurdistan Parliament discussing their draft law that speaks to exploring for oil within the Kurdistan.....why can't the state Parliament do the same thing....from the sound of things we will see them finalizing this draft in the near future....and President Barzani signing off on it.....if this happens I am thinking that national legislation (oil and gas law) won't be far behind....need to keep up with the Joneses.

Another crazy article...and who is putting this info out...none other than the Finance Committee....who else of course....a new week and a new talking head from them.....so if the currency is adequate why would there be a need as you suggest for such a huge denomination....stop and think what you say....and inflation is not an issue today....especially if you will allow the CBI to do its job...the job it has been doing for the past 12 years or so....stay out of business that is not yours.
Central Bank of Iraq in the process of printing paper 50 000 dinars

The Iraqis are asking the IMF for an emergency loan of $800 million dollars.....then they say that Iraq is pulling from its reserves....and in the same breath they claim Iraq's economy is going to climb in a positive way.....how can that be....for one who is in such dire straits right at the moment....unless big things are to come on the horizon.
Iraq is seeking to apply for a loan from the International Monetary after the deficit estimate by about $ 25 billion
Family I want to point to something that looks crazy with today's news....all this talk today about money from the IMF....it all sounds like it just happened today....this discussion about loans...this has been an ongoing thing for weeks, maybe a month or better now.....why present this in such a light today as though it was a newly discovered idea...this is old news....really old news....muddy waters tell of a storm to come.....they tell of a flood that is on its way....the mud pushes ahead of the bigger event giving warning to all in its path....this could be like a warning of the good that is headed our way.
Deputy calls for banks to re-examine the law
This article speaks to an article or two that we saw yesterday that is concerned with laws passed in the day of Paul Bremer, these laws are not very good for private banking and need to be redrafted or eliminated in some cases....I believe they are being addressed as we speak and what will come from this will be more conducive to the private banks of Iraq as they look into the future.
