Also if you look at the PDF in arabic, you can see it's the same one on CBI because of the numbers, and %'s.

I have no idea where that other article the "I see it" one came from, and would love for someone to tell me where it came from, but I dont think thats it.

EDIT: Nevermind Susie, see below, thanks.

Islamic Initiative on Iraq

Islamic Initiative on Iraq Amir Taheri

As the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan ends, all eyes will be on Makkah where a number or prominent Islamic scholars come together to seek ways of ending the sectarian violence in Iraq. The gatherings brings together Sunni and Shiite theologians from Iraq and eight other Muslim countries to discuss and approve a declaration demanding an end to sectarian feuds that have claimed the lives of thousands of Iraqis, mostly civilians. Backed by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the gathering reflects growing impatience with the self-styled jihadists and militias throughout the Muslim world.The proposed draft of the declaration, designated as “The Makkah Covenant”, categorically states that bloodshed motivated by sectarian considerations is “haram” (forbidden) with its perpetrators regarded as individuals waging war on God. Iraq’s principal Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali-Muhmmad Husseini Sistani wants the Makkah gathering to go further by also labeling as “haram” not just the bloodshed but any incitement to sectarian hatred. Some participants wish to make the covenant applicable to people of all faiths, thus sending a signal that Muslims also oppose the killing of Christians in Iraq.The Makkah gathering represents the first major effort by Sunnis and Shiites toward the mutual recognition of one another as acceptable versions of the same faith, since 1947. The accord signed at the time put an almost immediate end to centuries of vilification conducted by the more radical Shiites and the Sunnis against one another. It was not until the late 1970s that the Sunni-Shiite feud was stoked up once again, and then for entirely political reasons.While efforts to develop a common position against sectarian killings in Iraq must be welcomed, the Makkah Covenant is unlikely to tackle the fundamental causes of violence in that country: The inability of the newly installed Iraqi system to impose law and order, and the growing concern that its American allies might not be prepared to stay the course.Talk to Iraqis these days, and you are likely to hear one thing: What are the Americans and their British allies up to? The Iraqis have in mind the perception that the political mainstream in both the US and Britain, as illustrated by the recent remarks of the head of the British armed forces, now regards the Iraq project as a disaster, with cut-and-run, or whistle-and-walk-away, as the only options. It is not surprising that most radical of the self-styled jihadists, flushed out of Afghanistan after the fall of the Taleban, have found their way into Iraq. Other self-styled jihadists, from North Africa, Egypt, the Sudan, Jordan, the Gulf Arab states, and the European Union, have also gone to Iraq, to prevent the consolidation of the newly established system. Iraq today is the central battlefield in the global war between two mutually exclusive visions of the future.The self-styled jihadists know that they cannot win on that battlefield. After three years of almost daily killings, often in the most horrible manner imaginable, they have failed to alter new Iraq’s political agenda. Nor have they managed to win control of any territory or broaden their constituency. The self-styled jihadists have suffered thousands of casualties with many more captured by the US-led forces and the new Iraqi Army and police. Despite more than 180 suicide operations, and countless opportunistic attacks on civilian targets, the self-styled jihadists have been largely on the defensive since they lost their principal base at Fallujah last year. They kill teachers and children, but schools remain open. They kill doctors and patients, but hospitals continue to function. They kill civil servants, but the ministries are crawling back into operation. They kidnap and murder foreign businessmen, but more keep coming. They massacre volunteers for the new army and police, but the lines of those who wish to join grow longer. They blow up pipelines and kill oil workers, but oil continues to flow. They kill judges and lawyers, but Iraq’s new courts continue to work. They machine-gun buses carrying foreign pilgrims, but they keep coming back in growing numbers. They kill newspaper boys, but newspapers continue to be delivered every day.Since the invasion, an estimated 45,000 Iraqis have been killed, largely because of insurgent and terrorist activities. And, yet, there are few signs that a majority of Iraqis are prepared to raise the white flag of surrender.Several events in the past two weeks have highlighted the growing isolation of the self-styled jihadists and their Saddamite allies. One event is the creation of a tribal alliance, bringing together all Arab Sunni clans of western Iraq together in a united front to “chase Al-Qaeda out of Iraq.” (The alliance is partly modeled on the Algerian self-defense movement, set up in 1994 to arm villagers against Islamist terrorists.) It was partly in response to that event that Al-Qaeda’s branch in Iraq published an appeal to Osama Bin Laden, the presumed leader of the group, to dismiss Abu-Ayyub Al-Masri, the group’s “commander” in Iraq. The reason is that Al-Masri, an Egyptian terrorist, has tried to push the group’s violence to new depths of perfidy by planting mines in primary schools and hospitals and organizing rackets against shopkeepers, both Shiite and Sunni. The statement calling for Al-Masri’s dismissal calls him a “deviant”, a label that indicates the willingness of some Al-Qaeda members to liquidate him if he is not replaced in time.A second noteworthy event is the almost unanimous approval by the Iraqi National Assembly (Parliament) of a new plan for peace and reconciliation. Backed by all ethnic and religious communities through their political parties, the new plan further underlines the marginalization of the self-styled jihadist ad Saddamite groups.Under the plan, the different ethnic and religious groups would come to one another’s help whenever needed in the battle against the insurgents. If implemented, the plan would end a de facto situation in which Arab Sunni areas have been regarded as no-go areas for Shiite and Kurdish forces and vice-versa. More importantly, perhaps, the plan envisages the creation of a unified information office that to harmonize the sermons delivered at mosques, regardless of their sectarian affiliations. The idea is to use the mosque as a forum for a unified and democratic Iraq rather than a hub of sectarian agitation.Despite the dramatic increase in terrorist attacks in recent weeks, new Iraq is holding its own because Iraqi morale is holding.The Makkah Covenant, welcome though it is, cannot propel Iraq out of the current crisis. The Muslim nations need to ask themselves whether allowing Iraq to remain in crisis for many more years is in their best interest. And, if the answer is no, they ought to look for ways and means of helping stabilize Iraq. The United Nations’ mandate under which the US-led multinational force is present in Iraq ends in December. That provides an opportunity for thinking about a new, vastly re-composed, international force to replace the present coalition. While the US is certain to remain committed to Iraq at least as long as George W. Bush is in the White House, it is natural that Muslim nations should assume a major role in helping phase out the American presence without undermining new Iraq’s integrity and security.

Baghdad, 22 October 2006 (NINA)
The US Dollar exchange rate increased against Iraqi Dinar in central bank's auction Sunday. The US dollar was sold on Sunday's session for 1473 Iraqi Dinars, whereas it was sold for 1470 Iraqi Dinars on Thursday's session. The total sales of the central bank were 50,220,000.

Looks like they are forced to RV, look at this!
That means the "DOT" has to move from right to left three "whole" numbers!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!
Therefore, 1473 becomes 1.473 and that looks good to me, how about you?

where are you getting that at?? this article says that it now takes three more dinar added to the last rate to make it cheaper currency which is correct.
where were you reading moving the decimal? im confused.

I really can not figure out Iraq what makes sense to us seems they do the opposite.

I am hoping they are holding off on the 10,000 gift and I hope they RV before are US elections are over. Right now the Republicans are in jeopard of losing the Senate and the House. This would not be good I hope the October surprise is a BIG RV.

I understand that this is a big task for the Iraq Government to become a Democracy and a lot is probably going on that we do not know about. I just wish we had the milestone planer.

I really hope this happens before the end of the year but even better would be before the end of this month.

the 'october surprise' would never be a big fat rv to celebrate for the republicans. most americans have no clue about dinar or what it is or what a revalue would mean or anything.

im sure it has to do with the change in iraqi policies etc. once they have a revalued currency etc. but that would come after the revalue a bit. i think the timing hasnt accomodated dubya at all or the republicans. the iraqis have been playing a game of cat and mouse about that debt which has caused them to hold off on the rv even with the pressure from bush. they do not want to pay more back than they absolutely have to and if they revalued the dinar before they had all the agreements on the debt taken care of the countries wouldnt agree to diddly coz they would then see iraq was going to have plenty to pay back with. like i said they are cuttin it so very close...

by the way, the last rumor i heard, or was pmed to me trying to get me to publish it was for the 21st. it came from the fab 5 camp. for some reason they want others to take the blame if their rumors dont pan out and im not gonna buy me a big tub of bohica butter for them NO MO!!

someone might wanna take that info back to dg and atlas for them, or since they read all our news here because theyve run all their good news people off i guess they can read it here for themselves.

Adster keeps saying the end of November because of some ICI being signed. Is the ICI that your talking about that is going to be signed on October 31 in Kawait? If so, they also talked about settling the debt at that time also, so I guess it's possible the first week of November? I sure hope that secret passage of the HCL they've been talking about gets done this week so we can get a move on it!!!!! I think that when it does happen I won't believe it since they have cried wolf so much.
