Point of order : peace with Maliki

(Voice of Iraq) - 12-10-2006
This issue was sent to a friend

The name of the program : a point of order
The program : Hassan Muawad
Date : Friday, the 12-8-2006
Guest : the peace-Maliki (deputy in the parliament and the Iraqi leadership in the current Sadri)

Hassan Muawad : Dear viewers, peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings of him, "Why protested Sadri trend in the meeting of Iraqi Prime Minister recently with President Bush with that did not raise any fuss in the past to any such meetings? How does he justify this trend and a militia affiliated while participating in the ruling coalition? Is the Mahdi Army organizing resistance to the occupation, according to his supporters? Or kill sectarian militias also says his opponents? Is Iran a tool to harass the Americans in Iraq? What would be the nature of its relationship to Hezbollah in Lebanon? These and other questions to ask if our guest in the studio peace Maliki deputy in the parliament and the Iraqi leadership in the current sternum. Mr. beginning of peace as we know that the current Sadri had announced the suspension of its participation in the government and parliament in protest at the Bush-Maliki Iraqi prime minister, this is not the first time that the Iraqi Prime Minister with President Bush, is not it?

Why Saderion suspended their participation in government and the parliament?

Peace Al-Maliki : In the name of God the Merciful the of course the conditions experienced by Iraq in recent times the conditions of mean pass in the crisis and a serious escalation in acts of violence and terrorism, even believed all acts of violence and what is happening in Iraq and the deterioration of the security situation is caused the occupation forces, so when objected trend Sadri on the visit or to meet with Mr. Al-Maliki to Bush in on the grounds that the Americans are responsible directly on what is happening in Iraq, and therefore must be the strong position of the government demanding it, recognizes the security file and control the security situation in order to stop the bloodshed and lack of continuity in this haemorrhage.

Hassan Muawad once again : Is this the responsibility now received responsibility of the Americans, as you say what is happening or whether they were in the past, in the government of former Prime Minister al-Jaafari and you were in that government, met with Bush did not raise any fuss, is not it?

Peace Maliki : Actually, but now things started becoming more serious, smoldering and the security situation in Iraq began to deteriorate gradually, to the fact that we have reached a stage could not carry with them the street what is happening, so we said that there must be no serious steps and effective government to take over the security file as a dead and what is happening in Iraq and has become a terrifying and very frightening.
Sayyed Hassan Muawad : Peace Will you personally consider this step Hopeful?

A : Actually, Al-Maliki is the political justification or political position adopted by the Sadri trend, I hope there would be a round of dialogue between the political forces and the government to coordinate its position before, we hope that the government would be strong position means a strong desire to receive the security file and dialogue with the Americans to that position is the position of the Sadri movement is a political position.

Hassan Muawad good : Bush did not meet only with the Prime Minister but also met with Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, one of the senior leaders of Iraq's Shiites, as you know, do the same Sttabqon what you did with the Prime Minister meeting Bush Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim?

Peace Maliki : not of course the Supreme Council has its own, and I believe that they Party them their political, the government is responsible for the security of the whole of Iraq, so what the trend Sadri position had urged the government to have power to control the security situation, and have a larger role in the receipt of the security file, so we also give strength and support to the Prime Minister in order to claim the receipt of the security file, as it now street Mahtqan does not want to continue in this situation.

Hassan Muawad : You reduce the influence of this situation Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, says that means no significance compared with the Prime Minister, is not it?

Peace-Maliki : No, surely Mr. Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, a legitimate political party, but we call on the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister has the power major entire administration of Iraq, Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim, Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim, is the Party involved in the political process has a political role.

Hassan Muawad : Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, says it its political platform, its political system is your plan?

Peace Maliki : Actually, we disagree with our brothers in the Supreme Council Bamshroena political We sponsors of the draft resistance, reform and change are to have a draft.

Hassan Muawad : they are not the owners of the draft change and reform say?

Peace-Maliki : No, it does not change and reform, but they do not believe the resistance at the present time, and entered the political process since its inception before the fall of the regime, and there have been rounds of dialogue with the Americans, and you know not subtle, but we did not enter into a dialogue with the Americans, did not believe in the political process from the outset we blame the occupation for what is going on.

Hassan Muawad : We will get to that in detail, in any case, you Rbatttm back to the government and parliament American withdrawal timetable from Iraq, do you think that the Iraqi army and Prime Minister Al-Maliki said that he could be ready to take over the security file by June next? Do you think that the security forces and the Iraqi security services would be ready by that time to take over the situation?

Peace Maliki : If the Americans are serious in the delivery of the security forces and prepared, as they alleged Vakid through six or seven months, to be able to security forces receipt of the security file in full, but if the case is that the case simply information and just putting words in the air, surely there will be no possibility of the security forces in maintaining security file, so we hope that there are accelerated steps for the preparation and processing of the army to control the security situation in Iraq.
Hassan Muawad : I mean, you do not want the Americans to get out unless Iraqi security forces ready, right?

Peace Maliki : Allah, I think that the current Sadri believes that what is happening in Iraq from the disorder and chaos and violence is caused by the occupier, why stay or departure would be useless, so we hope to go as soon as possible, but we agree with our brothers in the political process who believe that. We must set a timetable. Exit American forces according to a schedule, is we agree with them, but Kaattakad personal, I think that the occupation forces would have no role and did not have any role in the past in keeping the security situation in Iraq.

Hassan Muawad : Of course some peace Sayed Al-Maliki mean you surprised you ask that the withdrawal of the occupier "Harrkm" between quotes from Saddam, is not it?

Peace Maliki : Golan who came with Saddam, did not free us, but came as claimed Bush to fight terrorism, not يجيءوا to liberate the Iraqi people and spread democracy as it is alleged, but said on more than one occasion that he came for the elimination of terrorism, the elimination of weapons of mass destruction, the elimination of the rule also finds expression, or at other times he came in order to protect our people, we do not want to take the battle into the United States, but we fight in Iraq.

Hassan Muawad mean : Iraqi opposition leaders in the past who have become leaders of Iraq now did not claim the Americans? They are not happy that the Americans had entered the country?

Peace Maliki : Some of them Americans, a tool used to topple Saddam Hussein's regime did not have the desire to enter the occupation, but ...

Hassan Muawad : Is this some majority or minority?

Maliki : peace and God of course I do not have a breakdown of the positions of the opposition in the past, but I think that the occupation did not come to liberate the Iraqi people but to protect the security and control of the region.




Disbanding the need for the government to turn

Hassan Muawad : Do you agree that the thus strengthen the hand of any Iraqi government, in fact, in Baghdad is disband the militias, including the Mahdi Army militia of al-Sadr's movement?
Peace Maliki : Frankly, I say : "There is no government and the militias Bjenbha, if not resolved militia immediately and as soon as possible, there will be no role for the government, we are advocates that the government would be strong, and the Mahdi Army militia is not is believed to bear arms to resolve the two cases, the army of Imam Mahdi Army is believed ideological change believes in the reform believe a crime, but we have been forced to carry arms to defend ourselves.
Hassan Muawad : What faction called mean carrying a weapon and there are Iraqi army and Iraqi security forces means is it a substitute for the Iraqi army? Or is it as a companion of the Iraqi army Why?
Maliki : Peace is not an army. The army in the Shiite belief or belief in the Shiite We also believe that there will emerge in the last decade to rid one of the imams. As is well known. We believe that people must be created for the emergence of Imam Mahdi greased God Gap, and the liberation of the people and the deployment of Justice also believes that all religions savior in the last decade. So when the foundations of the Mahdi Army is to create young believer, ideological base erudite conscious, we did not carry weapons, but also made clear we had to carry arms to defend ourselves, it is not in Aidolojitena.
Hassan Muawad : defend yourselves against?
Peace Maliki : against the occupier, and against the enemies of Islam and against the enemies of Iraq, and what is happening in Iraq and sent a disbeliever and Americans surely this compels us to take up arms to defend ourselves as long as the State is unable to protect the people.
Hassan Muawad good : You mean the fact that you are attacking those who you believe is Thajmkm?
Peace Maliki : Actually, we go into battle with the occupation.
Hassan Muawad : not only the occupation but also with a sector of the Iraqi people?
Peace Maliki : God does not, not the rule part outside the Iraqi people, and a strange object on the body, the Iraqi body, as well as the Iraqi Baath Party was a tool for killing the sons of the Iraqi people, a bloody dictatorship, why when we defend ourselves this sense that we are not fighting the sons of our people, but the Iraqi blood is forbidden to everyone.
Hassan Muawad : Is Peace says Mr. May says that the session Iraqi citizens who were killed in the Jihad district in Baghdad after the attack that has been dwelling on one of al-Sadr, in fact, are also the base?
Peace Al-Maliki : and God this position and this incident did not mean brought to the way detailed But far as I know that there are sometimes reaction of uncontrolled, the street path,, the security situation as you know there a major security crisis, and therefore sometimes reactions not be disciplined, and not everyone carries weapon of the Shiites is one of the the Al-Mahdi army and not everyone carries Disarmament of the year is one of the Al-Qaeda organization, but there are reactions of the Iraqi society community Kebili Consequently sometimes revenged for that what happened in the Jihad district is not of Al-Mahdi Army, but the reactions of people ..
Hassan Muawad : Who are they? Are people going out on the streets carrying weapons and kill others?
Peace Maliki : Yes, arms spread in Iraq every Iraqi household where several weapons, and not one weapon after the fall of the regime.
Hassan Muawad : Perhaps this is true of the 50th person, but after the bombing incident induction sacrosanct in Samarra to what has been said about the killing of a Sunni in Iraq in 1500, is not it? In fact, the indictment to the Mahdi Army, what do you say in this?
Peace Maliki : I asked one of the people who sat with many Sunni leaders both Brother Dulaimi, Tariq Al-Hashmi or others, and demanded evidence, did not give us any evidence, calling on them to provide us with any Mestmsk or any evidence that the Mahdi Army was involved, not all of the carrying of arms and unequivocally black dress is one of the Mahdi Army, of course, the Baath and the intelligence and all Americans.
Hassan Muawad : Can you prove that all Sunni carrying weapons in Iraq is the base?
Peace Maliki : I said, it was not carrying weapons is the base of the year, and therefore we deny the killing of any Iraqi person, whether Sunni or Shiite or is not a religion.
Hassan Muawad : I mean, you say that you did not Thajmwa Iraqis?
Al-Maliki : No peace will not attack the Iraqi attack in the future. Iraqi blood is forbidden, and already deprived in any way.
Hassan Muawad : Ok Mr. peace permission from the attacked stations and the Iraqi National Guard in 2004 in the Najaf Alice Mahdi Army?
Peace Maliki : army attacked the Mahdi Army.
Hassan Muawad : Iraqi army and the army.
Peace Maliki : Army Iraqis was, at that time there was a subject of the government at that time, and there are still teams called the difference can under the control of the Americans, these teams driven the Americans from time to time to attack Shiite sometimes and other times strike year, so when there was the battle of Najaf defended ourselves, we did not junior fighting, but the reaction to the siege of Najaf and the attempt to arrest Muqtada al-Sadr at the time.
Hassan Muawad : This is in fact what has been said about Mr. peace and description for yourselves that you strugglers of the occupation, can we get to this point, in fact, in the second part of this interview if Dear viewers, we are now just continue with a short break after our dialogue with our guest peace Maliki leadership in the current sternum.

Sadri trend has the leadership and has known personality and has places and has offices throughout Iraq, and when we took up arms not clear Ntlthm did not hit the policeman, not snatch, did not explode, but resisted the occupation and offered sacrifices.
Hassan Muawad : good to talk about the trend Sadri You say that you are strugglers, but there are some who say, in fact, that your work is just happen reaction to the Americans, I mean when Hajmukm in Najaf, you attacked when they entered Sadr City in search of the so-called Abu shield you attacked, but you did not you any sense of resistance Talnoha [it has our forces, as they say, always against the occupation, and so you have nothing of this, is not it?

Peace-Maliki : No, the military resistance is part of what we believe, which we think than we think, but may not be at this time appropriate, we try, after he entered Iraq another phase, a phase of occupation try to defuse things and things are quiet because the Iraqi people 40 years kills, it was not in our power to get the Iraqi people in another crisis and die young Therefore, we sacrifice given a martyr in the army of Imam Mahdi, in the battle of Najaf, the first and second. Alpha martyr young man killed in the battle, we can not sacrifice our children and the idea that we believe that Powell is addressing the towel and say, this ...
Hassan Muawad : OK, since you say that you are strugglers, there whatever I said, it is said, including resistance to the other party, why not think of integration as you did, in fact, 2004 may not have been integrated as it was coordinated between the fighters in Najaf and Fallujah fighters in the first, is not it?
Maliki peace : this is true and offered martyrs in Fallujah fought with our brothers in Fallujah who fought against the occupying forces and offered martyrs, but the lack of clarity in attitudes and lack of clarity of leadership and lack of clarity of the program, which provides the other parties.

The reason I asked this...

Is it our impression here that the IAMB is still in control of the Development Fund for Iraq due to an extension?

The IAMB overseeing the DFI ends 12-31-06. The Council of Ministers of Iraq sent a letter dated 10-22-06 to the IAMB agreeing to the formation of a committee of Financial Experts to oversee the DFI after ceasation of its mandate December 31st. These Financial Experts are from the Iraqi Government from what I can gather, headed by the President of the Board of Supreme Audit. It seems this group will be the oversight body and not the IAMB.

See Letter dated 10-22-06 to the IAMB

http://www.iamb.info/pdf/oversight_body103006.pdf

Also this article discussing this recommendation by the chairman of the IAMB

Iraq ready to oversee own oil sales beginning next Jan

Kuwait News Agency - 01 December, 2006


Secretary-General Kofi Annan told the Security Council on Thursday that he supports the transition of the International Advisory and Monitoring Board (IAMB)'s functions of overseeing the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) to an Iraqi-constituted body, explaining that difficult conditions in Iraq have not allowed the oversight body to carry out its mandate.

"I am concerned that the conditions in Iraq have not allow the IAMB to carry out its work in the comprehensive fashion that I or the council would have wised. In these circumstances, I support the transition of the IAMB functions to an Iraqi-constituted body," Annan said in his letter to the council.

IAMB was set up by the council in 2003 to oversee the financial position of the DFI, which is the principal repository for the proceeds of oil export sales from Iraq, and make sure it is run in a transparent manner.

He said while he hoped that this might be possible at the end of 2006, "the council may wish to determine for itself the best timing for this transfer of responsibilities".

Annan acted upon recommendation of his representative in the IAMB Jean-Pierre Halbwachs. The board's other members are the Kuwaiti-based Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and an Iraqi representative.

Annan conveyed to the council a letter Halbwachs wrote to him and in which he said the board met last October to discuss among other things the establishment by the Iraqi government of an oversight body to succeed the board at the end of 2006.

Halbwacks noted at the same time that Ernst and Young, a US Audit company the board hired to look into the DFI financial statements, presented a report covering the first six months of this year and in which it noted "progress in the financial control system, (but it) continues to be critical of the financial and accounting control systems".

"The overall control system needs to be further improved to be sufficiently effective," Halbwacks said in his letter.

He said the board was briefed by the President of the Iraqi Board of Supreme Audit (BSA) on progress in implementing earlier IAMB recommendations.

He noted that while IAMB welcomed the Iraqi government's implementation of the recommendations, it "continues to reiterate its concern that key actions, especially the installation of an oil metering system, needed to be comprehensive and were taking a long time to implement".

Halbwacks also noted that another audit company that reviewed US sole-sourced contracts reported a total of USD 22.4 million in unresolved amounts relating, among other things, to no evidence of goods received.

"In view of these findings, the IAMB recommended that the Iraqi government seek resolution with the US government concerning the use of resources of the DFI which might be in contradiction with the UN Security Council resolutions," Halbwacks said.

He recalled that the board's mandate expires later this year and "it is important to continue the oversight role over oil export sales ... and that an oversight body should be set up by the government of Iraq that would be independent, competent and professional, to ensure the continued oversight".

To assist in a smooth transition to an Iraqi oversight body, he added, the board formulated a set of recommendations on the modalities of such an oversight body and forwarded them to the Iraqi Prime Minister for consideration.

He said the Iraqi representative on the board informed the members in late October that the Iraqi council of Ministers approved the establishment of an Iraqi oversight body entitled "the Committee of Financial Experts," to be chaired by the President of BSA.

"The IAMB welcomed the establishment of the Committee of Financial Experts to continue the work of the IAMB upon its dissolution at the end of 2006," Halbwacks said.

Gulf in the Media

So is this something we were already aware of? Or has it been our belief that the IAMB will still be in control after 12-31?

Cheers!

The budget for the Kirkuk city will be increased to 200 billion Iraqi dinars for the year 2007.

Kirkuk City Provisional Council held its regular meeting last week to discuss and vote on the budget earmarked for 2007. In the meeting, members of the Brotherhood List in the council boycotted the vote on the proposed budget.
"We heard from the council, following its latest meeting with Iraqi Prime Minster Al-Maliki in Baghdad, that the budget for the city will be increased to 200 billion Iraqi dinars for the year 2007. However, we have seen it surprisingly shrink to 114 billion dinars," said city council member Mohammed Kamal to Khabat.

"The population of Kirkuk is currently estimated at over one million, not counting the people who will be returning to the city," Mohammed said, adding, "Any attempt to reduce the budget is interpreted as an oppressive act against the city and its people."
