The deputy chairman of the provincial council , Saadoun al-Shaalan told "Shafaq News", that "I received several calls from traders today in one of the border crossing points in Anbar asking me to intervene to save them from extortion cases against them by an employee in the port named Muhannad to allow them to enter their goods. " Sadoun explained that "traders are asking me to interfere with the director of border crossings to dismiss this employee and put an end to the phenomenon of corruption in the port," adding that "financial corruption is more dangerous than terrorism threat." The financial and administration corruption is considered as one of the main challenges facing the Iraqi government in its executive and legislative institutions, as Iraq still occupy an advanced position in the list of most countries that suffer from corruption. |

Alan, Alot happening now! I read articles about maliki getting replaced by US and KRG And also this Barzani has taken the bull by the horns Saturday, 16 February, 2013 Intel Guru OCrush - President Barzani has taken the bull by the horns. When he came back from his visit in Europe (Davos, Ireland and a couple of others) he decided to represent all of the Kurdistan blocs to end this crisis. Most significate, he now represents Talabanis Patriotic Union, with there blessing. He had meetings with all of the Kurdish blocs, the Sadrist Bloc, representatives from the US Embassy (Beecroft and UN Dels) and the National Coalition (Malikis Bloc). One significant member of Malikis bloc works in London and is trusted by the Brits and U.S. He spoke for Malikis coalition. This lasted for a few days and it was VERY successful. In turn…Barzani and the Kurd leaders were so happy they adjusted there Budget and past it today in the Kurdish parliament. Formal agreements were signed so there will be no backing out when this was done. It also included all disputes with Kirkuk under Article 140 It also included an agreement with the HCL. We should hear something on this shortly. Now, Barzani has called for a formal announcement with all of the Kurdish leaders participating to tell the Kurdish people what took place during these closed door meetings. They will tell the people there future and announce something major. In turn Maliki, Nujaifi and the other bloc leaders will make there own formal announcement to the Shiites, Sunnis, Turks and Christians what they have accomplished and what there future holds. This is History in the making. Life changer for all the Iraqi’s and it is very well coordinated. Sunday is a new beginning for i-rack and should be very revealing to our timeline. |

The Euphrates is a river that originates from Northern Kurdistan, and when we finally manage to free NK, you will polish our asses before we give you our water. Perhaps you should name yourself "desert" or something? Seems like a fitting name for Iraqis. I love random posts

Syrian Coalition OKs New Gov't, Rebels Grab Nuke Plant [9:32] 13/Feb/23 PNA - Syria's leading opposition group agreed today to establish a transitional government at the same time rebels said they had taken over the nuclear facility that Israel bombed in 2007, the Jerusalem Post reports. A top member of the Syrian National Coalition said the group will choose a leader within 10 days, but gave no further details. The coalition will name its leader in a meeting scheduled to begin in Istanbul on March 2, reports YNet News. They set the date after a compromise was reached between two powerful groups in the party—one representing the Muslim Brotherhood, the other urging the quick formation of a government. Meanwhile, the rebels say they've seized the remains of the nuclear center at Al Kibar. They also released a video that apparently shows them storing missiles—probably scuds—at the former nuclear site. |

The source said that "the pipeline was blown up twice in one week, when the concerned authorities in the Ministry of Oil stopped pumping the oil to prevent smuggling, prompting these parties to blow it up." The Oil Ministry had announced on Thursday that the petroleum products pipeline that links between Salahuddin and Nineveh line (Baiji – Hamam Alil) was subjected to an act of sabotage led to stop pumping as a result of the breakout of a fire. The Iraqi authorities say that al- Qaeda began a process of self-financing after external funding has been stopped from them by "extortion”, armed "robbery" and smuggling of oil derivatives |
