Donnie: The credit rating agency "Standard & Poor's" has announced that it has on Thursday, September 3 / September classification of sovereign debt of Iraq and awarded him the degree of "B-" because of the conflict with the terrorist organization Islamic state.

Donnie: The agency said in a statement that "Iraq faces the risk of once again on the level of security institutions," noting that these risks are "the highest among all sovereign countries being evaluated, especially because of its war with the organization of the Islamic state."

 The Agency also alluded to "the budget and external pressures resulting therefrom because of lower oil prices in the second half of last year." Oil prices have fallen by more than half since the month of June 2014, especially because of the large-scale production of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries "OPEC". 
~~~
However, "S & P" indicated that Iraq has huge reserves and has substantial oil exports, thereby reducing the concerns in this area, so attached to the agency classified the prospect of a stable, saying that the country's growth will remain steady in the medium term due to the significant rise in oil production, which will ease of budget pressures.

The agency "Fitch" credit rating issued early August / last August for the first time an assessment of Iraq and gave him the same degree "B-", the third global agency "Moody's" has not yet classified the religion of the country. Source: AFP   Donnie: http://ift.tt/1Uy85p5...

Donnie: Now people can stop "itching" about a no name credit agency called Fitch issuing a B-.

Donnie: NOW Standard and Poor's came out with a B- rating also.
Donnie: Just waiting for Moody's to step up and give a rating B- or better.

Donnie: S&P Assigns ‘B-/B’ Ratings To Republic of Iraq; Outlook Stable September 4, 2015

Donnie: The following is a press release from Standard & Poor's: OVERVIEW -- In our view, Iraq faces security and institutional risks that are among the highest of all rated sovereigns--stemming primarily from its war with ISIS--as well as significant fiscal and external pressures due to the sharp fall in oil prices in the second half of last year. -- However, Iraq benefits from massive oil reserves and high oil exports.

Projected large increases in oil production will, in our view, support economic growth and help alleviate fiscal and external pressures over the medium term. –

We are assigning our 'B-/B' long- and short-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings to Iraq. -- The stable outlook is premised on our expectation that fiscal and external deficits will not worsen beyond our forecasts and that the war with ISIS will be contained.

chattels: WASHINGTON — The United States on Wednesday established a new Joint Coalition Coordination Center (JCCC) near Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region, to coordinate efforts in countering the Islamic State, the US Central Command said in a Thursday statement.

“The JCCC will facilitate closer collaboration between the Combined Joint Operations Command-Baghdad and the Combined Joint Operations Command-Erbil to fight Daesh across all of northern Iraq,” said CENTCOM in the statement, using Daesh, the Arabic acronym for ISIS.

The statement said that the Ninewa Operations Center, which was established in Baghdad last year to orchestrate military plans and to train Sunnis as a part of preparations to retake Mosul, will also be moved to the Kurdistan region within the JCCC.

 “The new center will also set the conditions to relocate the Ninewa Operations Center from Baghdad to northern Iraq to coordinate future operations in Ninewa and Mosul,” the statement said. CENTCOM said the new military center reaffirms Washington’s commitment to security forces in Northern Iraq in order to defeat ISIS.   chattels: http://ift.tt/1dh0hsK...

lonegunman: isis seems to be the opened can of worms from the pit's of hade's !! the sectarian, religious ideology and tribal thinking of Iraq only prolong's their demise in a timely fashion

lonegunman: and shame on the so called ! civilized countries of the world

lonegunman: ‹@chattels› anyone can see that isis is a factor ! but to jump start and move forward with the economy and general advancement of the population would IMO be benificial

chattels: ‹@lonegunman› no doubt - there are many issues

chattels: [Baghdad-where] Iyad Allawi, head of the National Coalition strongly criticized Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, "saying he was" ready for his debate directly on television after he accused him of increasing pensions ".

Allawi said in a press statement: "I was amazed of charge Abadi me that I raised the level of pensions, as quoted by Al Baghdadi of video clips of him talking about what he calls the reform that did not fit."

 lonegunman: ‹@chattels› yep IRAQ has issues !!  lol  lol

chattels: "He concluded by Allawi, his statement by saying that" This is the second attack Haider al-Abadi waged against me, when he said the first vice-president and deputy prime minister are the gate of corruption, and the second of what he said about the sad words of salaries and pensions, and I'm ready for his debate on television and Balambeshr ".   chattels: http://ift.tt/1LEwWYk...

Donnie: ‹@chattels› I only post news. I don't interpret. is there an issue with the S&P rating post?

lonegunman: ‹@chattels› these people have to be just sick of how things are !!

chattels: ‹@Donnie› no issue that I am aware of - I was simply quoting from the article for emphasis of my point

lonegunman: ‹@chattels› I think perhaps the middle east should look at this saying ?

 Donnie: ‹@lonegunman› hence the protests I have to agree with you they are sick of how things are.

lonegunman: ‹@Donnie› yep i have an issue with the rateing should have been higher LOL

Donnie: doesn't surprise me S&P came out with a rating just before the bond sales start (if they start).

Donnie: ‹@chattels› i haven't seen all the posts of yours this week - busy getting kids ready for school and looking for a job. What issues are people having with your news posts?

 lonegunman: perhaps these credit rating people should read the British geographical sociities survey of Iraq

lonegunman: ‹@Donnie› where should we start ? go ta be a whole bunch that have issues with chattels  lol lmao  lol

chattels: ‹@Donnie› diminishing the problem(s) caused by DAESH and questioning the relevance of security issues - all opinions without a link

Donnie: ‹@lonegunman› it's the thought of millions of dollars.... they can't face reality that those dollars are not guaranteed.

chattels: it seems like when the news is " light " that the pundits feel the need to opine

lonegunman: I want to see this come to fruition but i have a life

 MichelleL: aw come on Donnie, my millions are guaranteed ROFL~ how are you? how about you chattels? lonegunman?

lonegunman: ‹@Donnie› nothing is guaranteed !!

MichelleL: sure it is Donnie lol my horror scope told me so

] chattels: BAGHDAD / National Iraqi News Agency / nina / announced an MP for the coalition of state law emotions blessing for collecting the signatures of more than 100 deputy to dismiss Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jubouri, because of his visit to Qatar in conjunction with the Doha conference.

Said in a statement today that the visit of al-Jubouri of Qatar, which coincided with the Conference what it called (the elders of sedition and traders blood and the leaders of terrorist organizations) is an insult to the blood of Iraqis and disregard for the laws and lack of respect for the legislative authority.

Oneness: wow ... mosul
Oneness: town crying for help ...                                                            

chattels: ‹@Oneness› RAMADI ? FALLUJAH ? BEIJI ?

Oneness: yea ... i did read where people were saying that isil had been taken care of

chattels: 1,300 CIVILIANS DIED IN BAGHDAD LAST MONTH FROM TERRORIST BOMBS

Oneness: wow ... unreal

Oneness: i read in your news report, or somewhere, where some lawmakers have been fleeing baghdad

Oneness: easily could be the beginning of the end there

Oneness: from history ... wiki ... Iran voted by national referendum to become an Islamic Republic on April 1, 1979,[21] and to approve a new theocratic-republican constitution[12][13][22][23] whereby Khomeini became Supreme Leader of the country, in December 1979.

Oneness: .... based on the concept of Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists (or velayat-e faqih). It was a relatively non-violent revolution, and helped to redefine the meaning and practice of modern revolutions [09/04/2015 06:55:59 PM] Oneness: .... Those who care for the future of the human race may well ponder this advice. ....

Oneness: ... “If long-cherished ideals and time-honoured institutions, if certain social assumptions and religious formulae have ceased to promote the welfare of the generality of mankind, if they no longer minister to the needs of a continually evolving humanity, let them be swept away and relegated to the limbo of obsolescent and forgotten doctrines.

Why should these, in a world subject to the immutable law of change and decay, be exempt from the deterioration that must needs overtake every human institution?

For legal standards, political and economic theories are solely designed to safeguard the interests of humanity as a whole, and not humanity to be crucified for the preservation of the integrity of any particular law or doctrine.”

lonegunman: ‹@Oneness› who's advice ?  lonegunman: bahai   lonegunman: not going there

Oneness: @lonegunman ... hopefully we can find some common dialogue ...

Tootsie: Good Evening, for a tiny bit, before preparing dinner ~

Tootsie: Unfortunately, I can't hold a three way conversation (yet) but this long-running saga may unleash such, after so many years who knows what may/may not happen  :silly:

Tootsie: No session blocked out on Parliament site , yet, probably will be couple days yet before we see an agenda

Oneness: after a dozen years of Parliamentary rule in Iraq ... filled with corruption and deceit ... i think the general populous there is looking for a different form of governing rule

Tootsie: IMO just about all the governments in the world have 'corruption and deceit' - irrespective of the type

Tootsie: in fact, I think I should remove the 'just about' in the above statement

Oneness: yet ... some biblical scholars may say something else ...

Tootsie: Crude close lower today $ 45.77

Oneness: saw gas at my local station $2.02 a gallon

Tootsie: goodness, nice, Still above that in Houston

disciple7: My Carolina Reaper peppers are growing like crazy! 2.2 million on the scoville meter..

Oneness: wow ... envious i am ... wonder what one pepper sells for in the open market

disciple7: I think $7.00

Tootsie: ‹@disciple7› pardon my lack of knowledge, what is a Carolina Reaper pepper? I am only familiar with the traditional, bells, (red, yellow,green) Jalapeno, Hatch - neither of which I use

disciple7: ‹@Tootsie› hottest pepper in the world

chattels: Karbala (AIN) –The Supreme Religious Authority calls all politicians to cooperate to achieve reforms . http://ift.tt/1RmeaU6...

http://ift.tt/1Uy86cJ

chattels: I have stated repeatedly that the announcement of reforms does not accomplish such. Legislative action is required and there must be cooperation between the political factions.

BOBBY: Chattels. ..... seems odd, religion and politics needing to mix to accomplish progress

chattels: ‹@BOBBY› Much of the middle east is inclined toward the merger of state and religion. Their constitution or interpretation thereof differs significantly from ours in that regard.

chattels: An Islamic state (Arabic: ad-dawlah al-islamīyah) is a type of government, in which the primary basis for government is the enforcement of shari'a, dispensation of justice, maintenance of law and order.[1] From the early years of Islam, numerous governments have been founded as "Islamic."

chattels: It is modeled after the rule of Muhammad. However, unlike caliph-led governments which were imperial despotisms or monarchies (Arabic: malik), a modern Islamic state can incorporate modern political institutions such as elections, parliamentary rule, judicial review, and popular sovereignty.

chattels: Today, many Muslim countries have incorporated Islamic law, wholly or in part, into their legal systems. Certain Muslim states have declared Islam to be their state religion in their constitutions, but do not apply Islamic law in their courts. Islamic states which are not Islamic monarchies are usually referred to as Islamic republics.

chattels: Article 1: The Republic of Iraq is a single federal, independent and fully sovereign state in which the system of government is republican, representative, parliamentary, and democratic, and this Constitution is a guarantor of the unity of Iraq.

 Article 2: First: Islam is the official religion of the State and is a foundation source of legislation: A. No law may be enacted that contradicts the established provisions of Islam B. No law may be enacted that contradicts the principles of democracy. C. No law may be enacted that contradicts the rights and basic freedoms stipulated in this Constitution.   chattels: http://ift.tt/1ehROX2....

http://ift.tt/1auf3KX

chattels: http://ift.tt/1EGzTWG;http://ift.tt/1Uy86sY

chattels: Islam is the official religion of the State

chattels: Our constitution guards against the establishment of a state religion

BOBBY: Chattels. ...... got to ask your thoughts on that

chattels: The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices.  chattels: http://ift.tt/1Uy85pb;                

http://ift.tt/1DbN3Uc

chattels: ‹@BOBBY› thoughts on ??????????

BOBBY: Chattels. ..... i have seen religion do way to much damage in my time so far - along with politics

chattels: some of the greatest attrocities in history have been commited in the name of religion

chattels: http://ift.tt/1Uy86t0...

http://ift.tt/1mujxnU

chattels: and continuing to this day

BOBBY: Chattels. ...... i fear we have not seen the last

chattels: ‹@BOBBY› there will be wars and rumors of war until the last day

BOBBY: Chattels. ....... what stiil to this day gets me is the level of brutality with Isis and the lack of response
