*"potential" gotta factor that in too. (#1 oil reserves in the world, #1 natural gas reserves in the world, most educated country in middle east, largest food source in the middle east, etc.)

*the world demands more energy sources everyday

take those three things into consideration and to even fathom as small an amount as a dime is quite silly.

believe me, iraq has the world by the perverbial cahoneys.

IMHO a Reval of a dime without it being on the forex now wouldnt help them anyway. im sure if the big oil companies have the money to buy iraq at its current rate they have enough to buy it at a dime as well. yes it would help the people of iraq with there current problems but would cost them dearly in the long run

What ever rate they decide on, they better revalue before some poor Iraqi goes and spends his 10,000 dinars on a gas for the car or a piece of meat and a Pepsi. Talk about some unhappy people if you just spent your $7.00 and found out it's now worth $12,000.00.

Iraqi Leader Wants Militias Eradicated
from The Associated Press

BAGHDAD, Iraq October 5, 2006, 11:12 p.m. ET · Political parties must either get rid of their militias or get out of politics, Iraq's prime minister said Thursday, in his toughest warning yet to groups blamed for the country's wave of sectarian violence.

Ahead of talks with Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice on how to stop the wave of Shiite-Sunni killings in Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told The Associated Press he was "optimistic" a political solution will be found to persuade militias to dissolve.

But once an agreement is reached, "the political solution must be obligatory, one that all parties adhere to," he said. "The presence of parties with militias in the government is not acceptable."

"The political parties must obey the decisions of the government or else get out of the political process. I don't believe there is any power that wants to leave the political process," he said, speaking during an "iftar" dinner, the meal that ends the daily Ramadan fast.

About three dozen people attended the special iftar, held amid intense security in a dining room in the compound of Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the head of the largest party in the Shiite coalition that dominates the government.

Outside, hundreds of guards from al-Hakim's party -- Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq -- were deployed in the streets throughout the south Baghdad neighborhood, carrying automatic weapons. SCIRI is accused of running its own militia, the Badr Brigade, though the party says it has been dissolved.

Among those present were al-Maliki's Cabinet, parliament members -- mainly from the Shiite coalition and a few Kurds and Sunnis -- and a few officials from the tribunal trying Saddam Hussein. They were served up with a feast of roast fish and meats with rice, followed by a wide spread of fruits and sweets and tea.

Al-Maliki is under intensified pressure to find an end to the Shiite-Sunni violence that has killed thousands of people this year and has threatened to tear the country apart. The killings have continued despite the prime minister's repeated calls for them to dissolve.

Several Shiite parties in al-Maliki's government have militias -- some of them blamed for grisly kidnapping-murders that nearly every day leave tortured and bound bodies of Sunnis dumped in neighborhoods of the capital.

Shiites have argued that militias are needed to protect them against Sunni insurgents who have targeted their community with brutal attacks against mosques, markets and other public areas. Shiite leaders have accused Sunni parties in the government of links to the insurgency. U.S. and Iraqi commanders have also said that some militia fighters may no longer be under the control of the parties, carrying out killings on their own.

Al-Maliki has frequently called for militias to be dissolved, insisting that weapons must only be in the hands of national security forces. But Sunni leaders have accused the government of balking at moving forcefully against Shiite militias because of their links to the government.

This past week, the government has taken new steps to show it is serious in tackling sectarian violence.

Iraqi authorities on Wednesday pulled a brigade of about 700 policemen out of service in its biggest move ever to uproot troops linked to death squads. The brigade is suspected of allowing gunmen to kidnap 24 workers from a frozen food factory in a district of Baghdad where the Shiite Mahdi Army militia is known to have considerable power. The bodies of seven workers were found in another Baghdad district hours later; the fate of the others is unknown.

The suspended 8th Brigade has been ordered out of the field, and the U.S. military said they will undergo retraining while some members will be put under investigation.

Al-Maliki underlined that only a political solution can bring a stop to the violence.

"The dissolving of militias cannot just be a matter of force. It requires many means to reach the goal, persuading the militias to dissolve themselves. That is better," he said. "The dissolution of militias must be through the political powers."

Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch said Thursday that an armed Shiite group has threatened to kill Palestinian refugees living in Baghdad if they do not leave Iraq within 72 hours.

The New York-based group said it had obtained a leaflet from a group calling itself Al-Bayt Revenge Brigade Rapid Response Units that stated: "There is no place for Palestinians in the Iraq of Ali, Hassan, and Hussain." The names refer to three revered Shiite imams.

There was no indication when the time period began. The leaflet, the rights group said, urged the Palestinian refugees to leave and "fight occupation in your own country."

The rights groups said that over the past two years, Iraqi governments have done little to protect Palestinian refugees, and some officials have claimed that they are involved in terrorism and supporting the insurgency.

Rice in talks on Iraq bloodshed
By Arshad Mohammed and Ross Colvin in Baghdad

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has urged Iraqi leaders overnight to end their "political inaction" and put aside their differences to rein in sectarian violence that threatens to tear apart the country.

Her visit, which is part of a Middle East tour, will focus new attention on Iraq in the United States at a time when President George W. Bush's administration is on the defensive over the war in campaigning for next month's congressional elections.

Three years after US forces invaded to topple Saddam Hussein, Iraq is gripped by an unrelenting Sunni insurgency and sectarian killings that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shi'ite-led national unity government is struggling to contain.

The US military and Iraqi government meanwhile denied reports that al Qaeda's leader in Iraq was killed in a raid on a safe house in western Iraq this week but said DNA tests would be conducted on bodies recovered from the scene to make sure.

Ms Rice flew in to Baghdad on an unannounced mission to meet the national unity government she helped forge earlier this year but which has failed to deliver on promises of improved security and services and ending chronic fuel shortages.

"Our role ... is to support all the parties and indeed to press all of the parties to work towards that resolution quickly, because obviously the security situation is not one that can be tolerated and is not one that is being helped by political inaction," she told reporters travelling with her.

Mr Maliki unveiled a vague four-point deal on Monday with Sunni leaders and fellow Shi'ites that focuses on all-party local committees to bridge distrust between the Sunni and Shi'ite sects and stem the violence that kills hundreds every week.

The Baghdad morgue said it had received 1440 bodies in September, 85 per cent of them victims of violence. This was a drop on the 1550 it reported in August and the 1815 in July.

The United Nations, which adds the morgue figures to the numbers of hospital deaths from the Health Ministry, has said 6599 Iraqis were killed in July and August, 700 more than in the previous two months.

The US has increased pressure on Mr Maliki's government in recent weeks to stamp out militias blamed for many of the deaths and who Sunni leaders say often act in collusion with the Shi'ite-dominated police force.

Mr Maliki has vowed to disband the militias, some of which are tied to parties within his own government. But the difficulty of his task was underlined this week when the 8th National Police Brigade was pulled off the streets of the capital, some of its members accused of complicity in hit squad attacks.

"It ought to be very clear to everybody – and I think it's especially clear to the Iraqi government – that these are urgent matters that they have to take on with great urgency," Rice said.

The US ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, said this week that the main threat to Iraq was now from sectarian violence and that the four-month-old national unity government had just two more months to start containing it.

Ms Rice stressed that she was in Baghdad to show her support for Mr Maliki, whom she described as a "very good and strong prime minister", and said after their meeting that the United States remained a "committed friend" of Iraq.

Dismissing claims by several Iraqi politicians that al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayyub al-Masri and several associates were killed in a US air strike this week, US military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Barry Johnson said: "We believe he is still alive."

Mr Masri, an Egyptian who is also known as Abu Hamza al- Muhajir, assumed the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq after Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi died in a US air strike in June.

"There was a raid recently where we thought he may have been among those killed, but now we think it is highly unlikely," Colonel Johnson said. "We are going to rule out the possibility altogether by doing DNA tests

Rice trying to build up Mideast moderate coalition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6/10/2006 9:15

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's whirlwind tour of Ramallah and Jerusalem was seen as a stepped-up effort by the Bush administration to reinvigorate the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and build up a moderate coalition in the Middle East.
Bolstering Abbas against Hamas

Rice intended to support Palestinian National Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and, consequently, solidify a moderate alliance in the region as a counterbalance to deal with Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas.

Rice's tour came at a time when Abbas' Fatah movement has engaged in a bloody conflict with the ruling Hamas movement. The Fatah-Hamas street conflict spilled over the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and claimed at least 12 lives and injured over 100. The clash slip into the verge of a civil war.

Rice called for strengthening security forces loyal to Abbas. Official sources revealed on Thursday that the United States has allocated 20 million dollars for improving security around Abbas. The plan was initiated by the U.S. security coordinator, General Keith Dayton, and presented during a meeting between Rice and Abbas.

While in a meeting with Rice in Jerusalem on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that Israel was interested in helping Abbas, and Israel would soon open the Karni commercial crossing into the Gaza Strip as well as the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

According to Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz, who met Rice Thursday morning, Israel would ease humanitarian conditions in the territories so long as it does not harm its security interests.

Building up moderate coalition

In an effort to rally moderate forces in the Middle East, Rice also visited Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iraq.

"When Lebanon (conflict) happened, I think (we) got in very stark relief a clear indication that there are extremist forces and moderate forces," she told reporters as she was en route to Saudi Arabia.

She said that "the countries that we are meeting ... is a group that you would expect to support the emerging moderate forces in Lebanon, in Iraq, and in the Palestinian territories. And so I look forward to consulting with them on how we strengthen these forces and what needs to be done."

On Tuesday, Rice met in Cairo with foreign ministers of six Gulf Arab states, Egypt and Jordan in a mini-summit to coalesce moderate Arab states in the region.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit said that no differences of opinion emerged during the meeting, since all the participants are friendly states. "Our purpose is peace, stability and development in the region. The aim is the establishment of a Palestinian state," he added.

Pursuing tough stance against Iran

The United States claims that extremism in the Middle East poses as much threat to itself as to moderate Arab regimes.

Shortly after landing in Saudi Arabia Tuesday morning to kickoff her Mideast tour, Rice told reporters, "The international community will have no option but to force sanctions on Iran if it does not suspend its uranium enrichment program."

"I hope that there is still room to resolve this," she said at a joint news conference with Egypt's Ahmed Abul Gheit. "But the international community is running out of time because soon its own credibility will be a matter of question."

Rice said if Iran fails to comply with international demands, "then the only choice for the international community is to live up to the terms of resolution 1696 ... and that means to bring sanctions."
