higher salaries for social workers, psychiatrists

Kurdistan (Voice of Iraq)
By Amanj Khalil

PNA-Kurdistan parliament sent a memorandum to the local government of the autonomous Iraqi northern province on Tuesday urging a salary rise for members of Kurdistan society for social workers and psychiatrists, a legislator said.

The memorandum was handed over to the government after the parliament "approved the demands last week," parliamentarian Suzan Shehab told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
"Kurdistan parliament demands raising the salaries of social workers and
Psychiatrists society by 50%," said the memorandum dated October 9 and received by VOI on Tuesday.

Last month, the society sent a memorandum to the parliament and provincial government threatening to stage a sit-in unless its demands for a higher pay were met.

Facks sake, get us on the panel, we'd sort them out...............


Baker says no "magic bullet" for Iraq problems

Iraq (Reuters)

PNA- Former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker warned on Tuesday not to expect a special Iraq panel he co-chairs to come up with a "magic bullet" to solve deepening problems in that country.

He said the bipartisan Iraq Study Group appointed by the U.S. Congress to look at alternatives to current policy in Iraq had not decided what to recommend, but he suggested there was no easy way out of the violent conflict.

"I will say one other thing -- there's no magic bullet for the situation in Iraq. It is very, very difficult," Baker said in a speech to the World Affairs Council of Houston.

"So anybody who thinks that somehow we're going to come up with something that is going to totally solve the problem is engaging in wishful thinking," he said.

Baker, who was secretary of state and chief of staff under former President George H.W. Bush and has long ties to the Bush family, suggested last week in media interviews the current Bush administration's insistence on "staying the course" in Iraq was not the only policy alternative.

A Los Angeles Times report said the study group may recommend a gradual withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq or discussions with Syria or Iran to help stop the fighting in Iraq.

Baker said the study group had made no decisions.

"We've taken nothing off the table and we've put nothing on the table. The report hasn't even been written," he said.

Baker said the group, which is co-chaired by former Democratic Rep. Lee Hamilton and includes prominent Republicans and Democrats, would not issue a report until after the November 7 congressional elections.

"We will report after the election in order to try and take our report out of domestic politics," he said.

In the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Baker warned President George W. Bush against attacking the country without the backing of a large international coalition like the one Baker helped assemble for the Gulf War in 1991.

But he said in an interview on ABC's "This Week" that an immediate withdrawal from Iraq would lead to "the biggest civil war you've ever seen."

Do you know when it maybe back online?

Have they traded while it was offline? (if they say no trading, ask why?)

Anyway to find out what the value was?

Are the banks even open to the public?

Hear Iraq was going to give out 10,000 dinar - have you heard anything on this? When they maybe doing it?

Oh heard the Parliment was doing great on passing laws the last few weeks - any idea when the dinar will be traded worldwide?

Hope this helps [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

A much-anticipated Iraqi national reconciliation conference aimed at building political consensus and stemming spiraling sectarian violence in the country will be held Nov. 4, a government statement said Wednesday.

The conference was originally scheduled to start this coming Friday, but had been indefinitely postponed for unspecified "emergency reasons."

The postponement reflected the upheaval worsening violence has wrought on efforts to stabilize the government and curb bloodshed. That threatened to damage the administration of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, which took office just over four months ago vowing to implement a 24-point National Reconciliation plan to heal the nation's severe political wounds.
