Iraqi Papers Sat: A Sunni President for Iraq?
Arab Papers Reveal the "Political Deal" that Returned the IAF to the Parliament
By AMER MOHSEN Posted 1 hr. 0 min. ago
Az-Zaman

Iraqi and Arab papers are abuzz with the news of the - expected - return of the Sunni “Iraqi Accord Front” the parliament, after weeks of boycott. Two Arab papers, however, claimed that there is in the IAF return, which came mere days after the Sadrist MPs resumed their participation in the parliament, more than meets the eye.

Al-Hayat said that the IAF suspended its boycott as part of a larger political deal, brokered by the US, and intended to expand the scope of Sunni participation in the political system. The London-based newspaper said that, according to “observers,” the Maliki government struck a “deal” with the parties of the opposition, “with American pressure,” in order to guarantee the support of said parties for “the passing of several laws ... chiefly the oil law and the de-Ba'thification law.”

The government, and the US behind it, is eager to promulgate these strategic legislations “in order to achieve a larger proportion of the 18 benchmarks set by the US Congress (to gauge the success of the Surge Plan,)” claimed the newspaper.

In Al-Hayat’s scenario, the Sadrists and the IAF will allow the passing of these strategic laws in exchange for certain political gains. The newspaper was not very clear, however, in describing what the quid pro quo entailed.

For one, the paper claimed, the original conflict between the Sunni coalition and the government (the parliament’s decision to unseat IAF’s Mahmud al-Mashhadani as its Speaker), will be resolved by “expanding the powers of the presidential council,” which will allow the Sunni vice-president, Tariq al-Hashimi, a larger role to play in executive decisions. Soon after these reforms come into effect, the paper continued, the IAF will choose a replacement for Mashhadani.

Second, al-Hayat said, the attributes of the (Shi'a) Prime Minister will be reduced along with his influence over the Executive, which has been a long-standing demand by the Sunni front.

The Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper, which toes a leftist/Arab Nationalist political line, had a more “interesting” explanation for the IAF return. According to the newspaper, an American-brokered deal will give the Sunnis the presidency in the future, while the post of the Parliament Speaker will be turned over to the Kurds.

Al-Akhbar said that, according to “sources close to the centers of decision-making in Iraq,” the political institutions of the country will undergo a “radical change,” entailing the restructuring of the three presidencies (the President, the Prime Minister and the Speaker) and their attributes.

The paper added that the coming reforms were designed “by the occupational authority, in conjunction with the UN mission and the ruling establishment in Iraq.” In addition to the Sunnis “recouping” the President’s post, al-Akhbar confirmed al-Hayat’s report regarding an expansion in the attributes of the President. These reforms, the paper explained, seek to satisfy Sunni demands for greater participation, “give an increased impetus for the political process, and decrease the intensity of the resistance in Iraq.”

What proves the existence of a “deal” behind the IAF return, al-Akhbar said, is the fact that the controversial Mahmud al-Mashhadani headed the last parliamentary session without any signs of protest from the political parties that had voted him out a few weeks back.

Al-Mada also insinuated that the returning MPs (from the Sadrist and the IAF blocs) will be ratifying the controversial laws, especially those pertaining to the management of Iraq’s oil wealth and the treatment of ex-Ba'this.

Two more issues are keeping the Iraqi political scene in a gridlock: the interpretation of the 140th article of the constitution and the attributes of the president. Al-Mada said today that both controversies will be debated among the major political parties in Baghdad, in the presence of the Kurdish leader Mas'ud al-Barazani. Both matters still divide Iraqi politicians, while the Kurdish parties insist on the timely application of the 140th article of the new Iraqi constitution, (which calls for a referendum by the end of the year to decide on the fate of Kirkuk) Arab politicians are being pressured by their constituency in Kirkuk to delay the referendum. The role of the President has also been debated in Iraq as of late, especially when a Maliki aide stated that the President’s role is “honorary and ceremonial,” which elicited a strong reaction on the part of the (Kurdish) president and his allies.

Lastly, Az-Zaman persisted in its anti-Maliki campaign. The newspaper headlined both its editions today with the criticisms of US Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, of Iraqi PM Nuri al-Maliki. According to Az-Zaman, Crocker accused al-Maliki of “runining President Bush’s chances to fulfill his commitments to Congress regarding the ‘benchmarks’ ... by next September.”

Az-Zaman also reported on a sit-in by the Shi'a Da'wa party in London. The sit-in, the paper said, demanded a stop to the illegal infiltration of Saudi nationals into Iraq, this comes after reports in the US media alleged that a large proportion of foreign fighters in Iraq are of Saudi provenance. The paper pointed out that the Da'wa party (to whom belongs Nuri al-Maliki) rarely holds such public events. Az-Zaman also reminded readers that King 'Abdullah of Saudi Arabia had “refused” to receive al-Maliki earlier this year, and that high-level Saudi officials had accused al-Maliki of enacting sectarian policies.

[KnightsCharger]

Excellent article Adster!! "Observer" someone close to the process perhaps!!?.

CNN just did a report on the gas situation in Iraq, looked pretty rough, 24 hrs. in lines. I don't recall CNN or any other media talking about the hardships of the Iraqis when it came to gas supplies. The interviewees blamed the GoI and corruption. Thought the timing of the report was interesting!!! probably nothing. :cool:

[crabman]

I sincerely hope so I too have had hard times, however I know of so many that need help so much more then me and I will, with the LORD'S Assistance, give them as we are taught to do.

[SEABEE CAN-DO]

Don''t give your Camel away yet unless you want to walk. Just another step in the long walk ahead.

[DinarInMikeswrld1]

No telling what kind of deals were struck to get this done, but its about time.
Seems they have a couple issues other than the HCL to still work out, but it does seem things are finally moving forward.
It appears that there has been quite a bit of pressure being applied by the US to get this train back on the tracks.
Guess they needed a good boot in the butt.

[John Jay]

Thanks for the find Adster. I have a good feeling about this one for some reason.

[Riceboi]

I wonder if and when it does truely Reval, how many other banks are really on board to exchange our Dinar. Do you think that there is already other banks that have aquired some Dinar and are just keeping it secrect?
I live in PA and there is no Chase here. My thinking is when it does Reval is to wait and see what will happen a few weeks after the big news. I figure it has to start somewhere but as soon as it happens ....Bam it goes up even more....Just my thinking.
I hope this week it is announced , so they can take their stupid vacation!!:D

This is all good news, but........
When I see the Iraqi Dinar on the Forex, that's when I will jump for joy, get my hopes up, start looking at charities, etc!
Then & only then!
I love all of the positive news, but nothing is set in stone with these guys. The Media machine is just a way the government(s) control peoples thoughts. We will know when we know. When you can go to most banks & airports & exchange dinar freely, that is when we have truly meet our destination! Go Dinar!

I didn't bash anyone, so I don't expect to get bashed. I'm in it to win it like everyone else. I'm just a simple guy. If you tell me your going to lend me 100,000 dinar & you don't, but will....what good is it to tell me that you will?

The Saudi's are pretty cheesed off about the possibility of playing "second fiddle" to Iraq. I am sure they were sending more than suicide bombers to Baghdad. More like truckloads of cash for parliment members that did what they want.

I'm just going to take this as a Rumor! Even though I am a positive person I'll just assumed it never did.

Drawing from the Kurdistan Alliance MP Mohsen Saadoun, that the draft bill of oil had been distributed to the moment the members of the House.

في.In the meantime, the deputy pointed to the United Iraqi Alliance Abbas Bayati to reduce the likelihood of the House holiday to two weeks for the purpose of expediting the approval of the oil and gas.

Iraqi Papers Sat: A Sunni President for Iraq?
Arab Papers Reveal the "Political Deal" that Returned the IAF to the Parliament
By AMER MOHSEN Posted 1 hr. 0 min. ago
Az-Zaman

Iraqi and Arab papers are abuzz with the news of the - expected - return of the Sunni “Iraqi Accord Front” the parliament, after weeks of boycott. Two Arab papers, however, claimed that there is in the IAF return, which came mere days after the Sadrist MPs resumed their participation in the parliament, more than meets the eye.

Al-Hayat said that the IAF suspended its boycott as part of a larger political deal, brokered by the US, and intended to expand the scope of Sunni participation in the political system. The London-based newspaper said that, according to “observers,” the Maliki government struck a “deal” with the parties of the opposition, “with American pressure,” in order to guarantee the support of said parties for “the passing of several laws ... chiefly the oil law and the de-Ba'thification law.”

The government, and the US behind it, is eager to promulgate these strategic legislations “in order to achieve a larger proportion of the 18 benchmarks set by the US Congress (to gauge the success of the Surge Plan,)” claimed the newspaper.

In Al-Hayat’s scenario, the Sadrists and the IAF will allow the passing of these strategic laws in exchange for certain political gains. The newspaper was not very clear, however, in describing what the quid pro quo entailed.

For one, the paper claimed, the original conflict between the Sunni coalition and the government (the parliament’s decision to unseat IAF’s Mahmud al-Mashhadani as its Speaker), will be resolved by “expanding the powers of the presidential council,” which will allow the Sunni vice-president, Tariq al-Hashimi, a larger role to play in executive decisions. Soon after these reforms come into effect, the paper continued, the IAF will choose a replacement for Mashhadani.

Second, al-Hayat said, the attributes of the (Shi'a) Prime Minister will be reduced along with his influence over the Executive, which has been a long-standing demand by the Sunni front.

The Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper, which toes a leftist/Arab Nationalist political line, had a more “interesting” explanation for the IAF return. According to the newspaper, an American-brokered deal will give the Sunnis the presidency in the future, while the post of the Parliament Speaker will be turned over to the Kurds.

Al-Akhbar said that, according to “sources close to the centers of decision-making in Iraq,” the political institutions of the country will undergo a “radical change,” entailing the restructuring of the three presidencies (the President, the Prime Minister and the Speaker) and their attributes.

The paper added that the coming reforms were designed “by the occupational authority, in conjunction with the UN mission and the ruling establishment in Iraq.” In addition to the Sunnis “recouping” the President’s post, al-Akhbar confirmed al-Hayat’s report regarding an expansion in the attributes of the President. These reforms, the paper explained, seek to satisfy Sunni demands for greater participation, “give an increased impetus for the political process, and decrease the intensity of the resistance in Iraq.”

What proves the existence of a “deal” behind the IAF return, al-Akhbar said, is the fact that the controversial Mahmud al-Mashhadani headed the last parliamentary session without any signs of protest from the political parties that had voted him out a few weeks back.

Al-Mada also insinuated that the returning MPs (from the Sadrist and the IAF blocs) will be ratifying the controversial laws, especially those pertaining to the management of Iraq’s oil wealth and the treatment of ex-Ba'this.

Two more issues are keeping the Iraqi political scene in a gridlock: the interpretation of the 140th article of the constitution and the attributes of the president. Al-Mada said today that both controversies will be debated among the major political parties in Baghdad, in the presence of the Kurdish leader Mas'ud al-Barazani. Both matters still divide Iraqi politicians, while the Kurdish parties insist on the timely application of the 140th article of the new Iraqi constitution, (which calls for a referendum by the end of the year to decide on the fate of Kirkuk) Arab politicians are being pressured by their constituency in Kirkuk to delay the referendum. The role of the President has also been debated in Iraq as of late, especially when a Maliki aide stated that the President’s role is “honorary and ceremonial,” which elicited a strong reaction on the part of the (Kurdish) president and his allies.

Lastly, Az-Zaman persisted in its anti-Maliki campaign. The newspaper headlined both its editions today with the criticisms of US Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, of Iraqi PM Nuri al-Maliki. According to Az-Zaman, Crocker accused al-Maliki of “runining President Bush’s chances to fulfill his commitments to Congress regarding the ‘benchmarks’ ... by next September.”

Az-Zaman also reported on a sit-in by the Shi'a Da'wa party in London. The sit-in, the paper said, demanded a stop to the illegal infiltration of Saudi nationals into Iraq, this comes after reports in the US media alleged that a large proportion of foreign fighters in Iraq are of Saudi provenance. The paper pointed out that the Da'wa party (to whom belongs Nuri al-Maliki) rarely holds such public events. Az-Zaman also reminded readers that King 'Abdullah of Saudi Arabia had “refused” to receive al-Maliki earlier this year, and that high-level Saudi officials had accused al-Maliki of enacting sectarian policies.

I wounder how creditable this is!! Where is CNN's Micheal Ware now!!!:shhh:

[garthstar]

:huge: thanks adster thats music to my dinar tired brain...

lets hope all the right palms have been greased, and now quickly the well oiled oil corruption machine starts to spew out profits for all in the know (and screw the rest-!)

man is it nice to b on the winning side of the fence of this one financially, (even if our lovely earth's environment definately isnt...!)

theres just one piece missing, an important piece not mentioned at all in the deal tho....

OS and SGS have not been mentioned at all....
thats a worry.... surely they got to be involved for this to happen....

[Theodora]

Key points:

1)The weeks of banning the GOI by the sunnis has finished few days ago.
2)Cutting Short the vacation to only 2 weeks in order to complete Oil law.
3)Secret agreement for support by all side to the oil law.
4)ISX opens on 2nd of Aug for Forigners + Oct goes electronically.
5)Abnormal pressure to make major changes before Sept (When General Petraus give his report to Washington.

It's coming guys... Let's just wait n' see :happy64:

[mike55]

The closer we get to the Sept. report, the more will happen. The GOI knows that if it's all bad news, money will start to dry up and troop support is in dire jeopardy. I feel that many laws will be passed and many more stout promises will be made in the next 5 weeks. Iraqi media will be flush with the right news for perception of milestones being met and ones soon to be met.
Right now is the last chance to gain some sort of confidence from the coalition members and monetary funds. Then, they will get another 6 months to procrastinate.
However, having said that, if they do pass and implement the economic/social laws and join the world community in the next 3-6 months........it will not be with a third world country exchange rate........

[Ialdoboath]

I really do think all the laws will be passed in the next 2 weeks. What I'd really love to know, though, is how many of the Iraqi parliamentarians are
right there with us checking the housing markets in Portugal, California, and Dubai.

parties giving their endorsement of this WONDERFUL action???
:confused::confused::confused:
They have been opposed to an oil law, from what I gather.

[kyle]

The Saud's are pretty cheesed off about the possibility of playing "second fiddle" to Iraq. I am sure they were sending more than suicide bombers to Baghdad. More like truckloads of cash for Parliament members that did what they want.

howler, I think you are spot on!!! GREAT OBSERVATION! and I think some people might be missing a big point here. it is not only about the ineptness of the goi, but the terror and uneasiness that the countries like Saudi arabia,dubai,u.a.e, and the other major oil holders of the gulf region are feeling. They all know that if Iraq succeeds in getting itself on track, it will become the leader in oil revenues. if not the leader, then a close second,imo.

with all the undiscovered oil fields there, they are poised to become THE major player in the middle east. you think that the Saudi's are going to take that laying down? heck no!,imo. THAT,imo, is what is fueling the terrorists. they are backed and funded by the Saudi's( maybe through Syria) and some of the other OPEC nations. they do not want to see their positions weakened by the Iraqi oil market. gas will become cheaper,and they will lose billions of dollars. unless they decide to limit production,of course.;)

but I think that all of the other other Arab oil producing nations are " covertly" funding the terrorists and paying off the Iraqi government to sabotage the progress in Iraq. I think that this explains alot of the corruption by the goi,and the unwillingness to get things done. I also believe that inevitably, these guys are looking/trying to strike a deal for a payoff from the " secret governments" that they are receiving payoffs from, to be secure in their "retirement". BEFORE they will decide on laws. if they are rich, that is all they care about.

I do think that the sabotage by the saudi's will continue even after the major laws are passed. they know that time is up and they have to pay people off.now they need a new game plan to keep up the sabotage.since they are losing their "payees"they will probably have to just blame it on "al-qaeda". great friends of the U.S.-huh!.. all this is just my opinion,let me say again,MY OPPINION, but to me it makes sense as to why things haven't gotten anywhere........................kyle

Palm greasing is a part of their culture, all our governments do it on daily basis, that's politics. Money talks and all that. Pay em and get those laws passed.

[Just_Sayin]

Thanks Adster!

Here's what makes me really like this article:

1) Cites several corroberating sources

2) Other newspapers are reporting (without simply re-running) the story

3) Some of the other papers have a bias that leans away from the issue

4) One of the newspapers cited was a London-based paper

5) In-line with other facts we know (Mookie's return, parliament speaker unpopular, short vacations, etc.)


These things, in my mind, make this report head & shoulders above the credibility of some of the other news we've been getting lately. Excellent find!

Sunni Party Insists Boycott Will Continue - National Dialogue Front "Will Not Return to Parliament Yet"

The National Dialogue Front (NDF) said it clings to its position suspending membership in the Iraqi parliament, adding it would continue pressing the government to "modify the course" of the political process, an NDF spokesman said on Friday, Voices of Iraq reports. "The NDF's decision coincided with the draft law on sacking Speaker Dr. Mahmoud al-Mashhadani but we had expressed our wish to suspend membership months ago," Haidar al-Mulla told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) over the phone.
The predominantly Sunni Arab political front, led by Saleh al-Mutlak (http://www.iraqslogger.com/index.php/post/2886%20to%20saleh%20al-mutlak), "has nothing to do with the decision of the Sunni Tawafuq Front to end its boycott of parliament," said Mulla.
Tawafuq attended Thursday's session of the Iraqi parliament after a boycott of two weeks (http://www.iraqslogger.com/index.php/post/3648/Sunni_Bloc_Return) in protest against sacking Mashhadani, an IAF member.
A number of deputies called for relieving Mashhadani after his bodyguards assaulted an MP from the Shiite Unified Iraqi Coalition (UIC), the largest bloc in the Iraqi parliament with 115 seats out of a total 275 seats, last June.
Mulla said the NDF, which has 11 seats, might change its position "if matters required our return to parliament or if we viewed that some blocs were seeking to have certain draft laws that pose a threat against the country's future and political process passed."
He did not elaborate on these draft laws but one of the draft laws is referring to is very likely to be the controversial Iraqi oil bill (http://www.iraqslogger.com/index.php/post/3655/Oil_Law_Iraqi_Government_in_Limbo).
On Thursday Mashhadani called upon the Sunni National Dialogue Front to end suspension of its membership in parliament and return as soon as possible. (http://www.iraqslogger.com/index.php/post/3662/Speaker_Calls_for_Sunni_Party_to_End_Boycott)

Debate of oil law adjourns as parliament goes in recess-MP

Baghdad - Voices of Iraq

Saturday , 21 /07 /2007 Time 11:17:48



Baghdad, Jul 21, (VOI)- Parliamentarian Abbas al-Bayyati, from the Shiite Unified Iraqi Coalition, said on Saturday the political disputes had turned the oil and gas draft law into a political pressure card that led to postpone its debate in parliament till the end of the summer recess.




"The oil and gas law was drafted to serve Iraq and its people but the political disputes turned the proposed law into a political pressure card," al-Bayyati told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
The legislator said "the draft so far has not been scientifically and objectively discussed, and most of the raised objections were concerning the jurisdictions of the regions and provinces and the signing and carrying out the contracts."
"The parliament needs, at least, for a week to pass the bill into law and the remaining period is not enough to set it to debate and thus the discussion of the draft was postponed till the House is back from the summer recess," said al-Bayyati noting that his bloc wanted a transparent vote on the draft under the eyes of the Iraqi nation.
The Iraqi House of Representatives will go on a month-long-vacation as early as August.
As regards the objections raised on the draft, al-Bayyati said "the blocs that believed in a centralized administration from Baghdad stressed on having the final say on the regions and provinces' contracts in the hands of the oil and gas federal council, while those advocating federalism viewed the role of the oil and gas federal council as merely ratifying the contracts within a specific period."
The legislator also drew the attention to dialogues underway now among political blocs on the sharing contracts from within the oil and gas draft law, for some saw it as "an attempt to set the national wealth as a mortgage to the foreign companies while others viewed it as a need by the country to develop its oilfields to increase its daily production from currently 1.5 million barrels up to three or four millions barrels."
A third opinion, the parliamentarian pointed out, was evolved to the effect that sharing in return for service which meant a share of the production would be given to the companies in return of their services.
He added "sharing contracts should be supervised by the parliament and cabinet though some lawmakers saw such contracts as being implemented in Iraq under the former regime and also applied in other countries."
The draft oil and gas law for the management of oil resources is considered one of the most controversial issues in Iraq, and there are differences among political blocs on the law regarding the equitable distribution of revenue.
The law, if approved by parliament, will give Iraqi and foreign investors the right to set up establishments and oil refineries and use them for 50 years.
Most of Iraq's known oil reserves are located in the Shia-dominated south and the Kurdish north.
Iraq sits on the world's third-largest oil reserves and officials have sought, since last year, to finalize the draft law.
The law is vital for attracting foreign investment to Iraq, to boost its oil output and rebuild its economy.
Recent disputes have arisen after Iraq’s oil ministry warned regions in late April against signing contracts until the law was passed.
The Kurdistan regional government has signed several agreements with foreign companies.

Debate of oil law adjourns as parliament goes in recess-MP

Baghdad - Voices of Iraq

Saturday , 21 /07 /2007 Time 11:17:48



Baghdad, Jul 21, (VOI)- Parliamentarian Abbas al-Bayyati, from the Shiite Unified Iraqi Coalition, said on Saturday the political disputes had turned the oil and gas draft law into a political pressure card that led to postpone its debate in parliament till the end of the summer recess.




"The oil and gas law was drafted to serve Iraq and its people but the political disputes turned the proposed law into a political pressure card," al-Bayyati told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
The legislator said "the draft so far has not been scientifically and objectively discussed, and most of the raised objections were concerning the jurisdictions of the regions and provinces and the signing and carrying out the contracts."
"The parliament needs, at least, for a week to pass the bill into law and the remaining period is not enough to set it to debate and thus the discussion of the draft was postponed till the House is back from the summer recess," said al-Bayyati noting that his bloc wanted a transparent vote on the draft under the eyes of the Iraqi nation.
The Iraqi House of Representatives will go on a month-long-vacation as early as August.

Debate of oil law adjourns as parliament goes in recess

Well those are two things I didn't want to happen. I guess the ISX opening is the event to watch now. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Confused/sorry.gif

Since some insist they'll only take two weeks off that means they'll be back around the 4th. Whether that's true remains to be seen.

[po-cajun]

too many conflicting reports. This says after vacation--one thread says Maliki says they will take only 2 weeks off to get laws passed. Don't know what to believe!!!!! I think if they don't get it done now, congress will really be on their case and a serious pullout will result thus cutting their GOI heads right off.....

I'm with you on this one DinarInMikeswrld1, these clowns do not give a toss about anybody but themselves. The coalitions forces are waisting thier time, no sorry far more important than that, they are waisting thier lives. Where is Bush to go from here, I did not agree at first with what he done but, I can understand why now. I generaly feel sorry for the guy, he must feel fustrated as hell, he is sticking he's head on the block for these clowns along with the coalition forces.
