The Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Council of Islamic Revolution in Iraq, one of the most prominent Shiite leaders in Iraq Friday that the solution to the Iraqi problem must be in Baghdad and not in another place and called on Arab countries to help the Iraqis to overcome their plight. Hakim said in a speech to the congregation after performing Friday prayers at the Mosque of King Hussein, one of the largest Sunni mosques in the Jordanian capital, Amman, we stress here for all Iraqis and for all Arabs and Muslims to international and regional forces that the solution to the problem in Iraq can only be achieved in Baghdad and through the Iraqis themselves.

He added Hakim, who was speaking before hundreds of worshipers, including many of the Iraqis living in Amman, said that all the regional efforts being made here and there must be a catalyst for a solution not be a substitute for the solution of the Iraqi problem and the plight of the Iraqis.

He welcomed Hakim calls for the convening of an international conference on Iraq and said that we welcome every effort best regional or international wants to be part of the solution and not an additional burden on the solution.
He called on the Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan Tuesday to organize an international peace conference on Iraq, bringing together all Iraqi groups help of the United Nations stressed the importance of adequate preparation for the conference.

Annan said to reporters think it would be useful to hold a conference to bring together all the parties along the lines of what we have done in the former Yugoslavia and in other situations.

On the other hand, said Hakim three years ago, we faced a war of extermination waged by us and Al Qaeda elements and Altkverion Sadamion concentrated all terrorist operations against followers of the house in order to raise sectarian sedition in Iraq.

He added, but we stood in front of it and stopped the man in charge until dawn on these goat Imams Hadi and Hassan al-Askari (in Samarra) did not bear the Iraqis this great crime which strikes at the very heart of their faith, violence broke out as a reaction to the corresponding crimes committed.
Dawn unidentified gunmen last February goat on the Imams Hadi and Hassan al-Askari in Samarra (120 km north of Baghdad), which led to acts of sectarianism in Iraq.

He has worked wise religious and political beliefs and we with them to control the situation and put an end to the mutual killings, and continue to work in order to contain this situation because we believe in the sanctity of Muslim blood.

He stressed that he strongly rejects the killings on the basis of religious identity, saying that this is one of the biggest bad deeds and sanctities in God.

He said that the Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq, Iraqi farmers Valachireh one of the Shiites as the Sunni and Shiite families Ttassaher with Sunni families, and vice versa.

Al-Hakim, one of the Iraqi fabric is not dismantled and all the calls and fears of outbreak of sectarian war, which begins here and there out of concern for Iraqis or other motives will not underestimate this fact is that the Iraqis will remain stronger than all attempts tore wants.

Hakim warned that the outbreak of such a war will burn everyone, but also lead to the destruction of security in both the region and pushed it to the maze does not know the extent of one resonate.

He added wise, we are very eager for the unity of Iraq's land and people have stood and will stand against any attempt to partition Iraq because all our strength lies in the fact that Iraq is one unified.

He continued, We are keen on building a state of law away from sectarian discrimination because we do not want a Shiite finding year, and we do not want a Sunni-finding Shiites We want a state in which all and serve all and defend them and express their will.

He called Hakim from the Arab countries who were interested in the Iraqi people's unity and stability to Iraq seeking the help of us all to achieve this by addressing first the nature of conspiracies woven against all the Iraqi people and to stand against the mass media which promote sectarian strife in Iraq, the latest of these devices Mangulth statements did not say Here on our year in Iraq.

The ratios statement issued by the Jordanian Royal Court announced to the Hakim as saying during the meeting with the King on Wednesday, we take pride in the Arab identity of Iraq and the sectarian war will be the biggest loser where are our brothers year.

Hakim and the visit to the United States next Monday to meet with American President George Bush, according to a source close to him.
The source, who preferred to remain anonymous, that Hakim would travel to the United States, where he is due to meet President Bush in Washington next Monday.

He explained that the aim of the visit was to examine the situations in Iraq and the political process and ways to stop the violence.

Hakim headed the largest political formation in the ruling Shiite coalition in Iraq (130 of the total 275 seats), which belongs to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. The visit to the United States after the summit held by the American President George Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Amman.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - American forces conducted raids in and around Baghdad on Friday, killing two insurgents and wounding an Iraqi woman the militants were using as a "human shield," the U.S. command said.

In the capital, sectarian violence killed at least four Iraqis and wounded 23, police said, and a Sunni-Arab mosque was attacked by men armed with rocket-propelled grenades.

Meanwhile, there was no sign that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was having any luck stopping a widening revolt within his divided government.

On Thursday, two senior Sunni politicians joined prominent Shiite lawmakers and Cabinet members in criticizing his policies. Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi said he wanted to see al-Maliki's government gone and another "understanding" for a new coalition put in place with guarantees that ensure collective decision-making.

"There is a clear deterioration in security and everything is moving in the wrong direction," the Sunni leader told The Associated Press. "This situation must be redressed as soon as possible. If they continue, the country will plunge into civil war."

Al-Maliki's No. 2, Deputy Prime Minister Salam Zikam Ali al-Zubaie, also a Sunni, argued that the president's government failed to curb the spread of sectarian politics.

The boycott by 30 lawmakers and five Cabinet ministers loyal to anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr was in protest of al-Maliki's meeting with President Bush in Jordan on Thursday. The Sadrists said the meeting amounted to an affront to the Iraqi people.

Al-Maliki appealed to the Sadrists to end their boycott and admonished them for an action that he said violated the commitment expected from partners in his 6-month-old coalition government.

In an interview on Friday, Falah Hassan Shanshal, a Shiite lawmaker with the Sadrist group, said: "There is nothing new regarding our stance."

He criticized al-Maliki for winning a unanimous vote by the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday to extend for one year the mandate of the 160,000-strong multinational force in Iraq. At the time, the prime minister said a top priority of his government was to assume full responsibility for security and stability throughout Iraq, but that it needs more time.

Shanshal said the boycotters will await the reaction to the U.N. vote by Iraq's 275-seat Parliament when it meets next on Tuesday.

U.S. military raids targeting al-Qaida in Iraq insurgents occurred early Friday in Baghdad, the town of Youssifiyah to the south, and two locations to the north: near Taji, the U.S. Air Force base and the town of Tarmiyah. (snip)

As,life is way too short to take ones self too seriously.
That being said, we have all of the facts right in front of us, the value of our investment is growing by the day.
remember you have to learn to crawl before you can run.
Fact : the CBI said it's intent was to have the IQD ratio 1345.0 =1 USD by the end of the last fiscal quarter of 2006.
It is well on its way.
move the decimal point thrice and there you have it.
$ 1.34 USD.

Thanks, that was a good read

I liked this comment I just found on IMF.....

The ability of the CBI to influence monetary conditions will be enhanced when it is able to conduct open market operations, allowing the CBI to reduce the money supply other than by selling dollars.

On our way!

Cheers!

here is some of the content of table 4.

(In billions of Iraqi dinars) 2006 Actual Max.
=======================================
Reserve money ---------------------------- 14,926
Currency outside banks -------------------- 09,621
Currency issued --------------------------- 10,881
less cash in vaults of commercial banks ----- 01,260
Banks reserves ---------------------------- 04,044
Required ---------------------------------- 03,251
Excess ------------------------------------ 00,793

Currency in circulation / reserve money (in percent) 64.5

( my observation is that 9,621 / 14,926 = .6445799 or approx 64.5%
and so I believe that, according to this IMF report (dated August 06),
"currency outside banks" = "currency in circulation" = 9.621 trillion dinar )
