Parliamentarian-U.S.
U.S. troops should leave Iraq soon-MP
By Monther Hamad Zahi
Baghdad, Oct 9, (VOI) – Legislator Nassar al-Rubai’i, of Unified Iraqi Coalition, criticized the Iraqi government’s decision to extend the U.S. forces mandate in Iraq without referring to the parliament.
“The Iraqi government should act to accelerate an end to the U.S. troops mandate in Iraq as the political process was almost completed,” Rubai’i told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
Legislator Rubai’i accused the Iraqi government of extending the U.S. forces mandate without consulting the parliament.
Iraqi constitution stipulates in article 1 “Iraq is a federal, independent, and sovereign state,” and this , as Rubai’i pointed out, “ is contrary to the presence of U.S. forces on the land of Iraq and is considered a violation to the permanent constitution welcomed by the international community.”
“We as a bloc at the parliament requested the parliament to end working with Order (17) by the Coalition Provisional Authority that gives immunity to U.S. soldiers,” he said.
“What immunity they are talking about whlie U.S. army soldiers do whatever they like,” wonders Rubai’i.
Sadrist legislator Baha al-A’raji, of Unified Iraqi Coalition, demanded on Sunday the government to reconsider “ all decisions related to sovereignty in order to stop bloodshed and the plights of the displaced.”
A’raji called the Iraqi government for reviewing the sovereignty-related-decisions including the U.S. forces immunity.

Eid al-Fitr is the day of celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. Muslims visit family members, enjoy special meals together and wear new clothes. Children receive gifts of money from their relatives. Amusement rides for children are set up in the streets, and people watch fireworks at night.

Officially, the celebration lasts for three days, but if it falls in the middle of the week, shops and schools may stay closed for the entire week.
IslamOnline.net/Muslims Affairs in `Eid

In addition to all the good news that's already been posted think about this: Considering the the role this MAJOR HOLY HOLIDAY might have in our little adventure, It makes sense that they would give the grants before Eid al-Fitr....like our holidays, some prior planning and preparations are involved...giving it ON the holiday wouldn't allow mom to get the kids new clothes or go grocery shopping for the big dinner....

Giving these grants and then revaling the currency right before this holiday Is the best thing they can do right now...this time, Ramadan, and the Eid al-Fitr is a time of counting one's blessings and of giving to the less fortunate...think about it....the grant and reval will change the psyche of the entire nation...everyone will be awash in good feelings of gratitude and charity....in this climate insurgency will have less appeal...What a way to end Ramadan!!

My thoughts anyway....why I'm looking for it BEFORE the end of Ramadan...
