BGG – I did tell you all this could happen – didn’t I?? Like – long before anyone was even thinking about it…
I am a little surprised they bothered to say anything about it ahead of time… I kind of expected to “wake up to it”… one morning.
Abadi may get the technocratic cabinet he wants after all – and if they pull this off, I think the average Iraqi will support them fully…
Well – in the midst of all the boo-hooing over no vote – I did say this… right??
Hutch: Yes YOU did !
larrykn: yes you did 🙂

Adam Montana – I love it when Iraq makes things simple for me. For weeks and months, we’ve been at a standstill with Iraq. No progress, nothing to really talk about. But if you’ve been reading the news over the last week, starting on about Saturday… it looks like the time has come for change. In fact, it looks like al Sadr is on a rampage! Quote: “Urgent..Sadr calls for ministers to submit their resignations immediately to pave the way for the formation of a new government...” And you’re going to see that after the weeks and months of dragging feet, we’re on the road to be back in business. Iraq doesn’t want to sit stale and stagnant, any more than we want to witness it. We haven’t heard a peep about the HCL in months, and it seemed like nobody was going to do anything about it. Looks like that changed, so let’s hope for some good news out of this little shake-up.

Iraq central bank manager arrested over bonds trading in Kurdistan
An Iraqi central bank manager in the autonomous Kurdistan region was arrested as part of a probe into an alleged illegal bond trading scheme that may have cost the cash-strapped government more than one billion dollars.
Adham Karim, the head of the Iraqi central bank in the Kurdish regional capital Erbil, was taken into custody on Wednesday along with his deputy, a police spokesman said.
The two men are being investigated in relation to the alleged illicit trade of government-issued financial instruments, according to the head of the Kurdistan region’s integrity commission Ahmed Anwar.
“This is a very big case in the Kurdistan region,” Anwar told Reuters in an interview on Thursday. “It is a case involving the trading of bonds that the government had given to contractors. The investigation will reveal the details”.
Anwar said the arrest of the central bank manager Karim did not necessarily mean he would be charged with a crime. Reuters could not immediately reach Karim or his office for comment. The office of the central bank governor was unable to immediately comment on the matter when contacted.
The arrests are the first high-profile action since the region’s President Masoud Barzani vowed last month to fight corruption with the same determination its peshmerga forces have battled Islamic State militants.
An economic crisis induced by low oil prices has put renewed focus on corruption in Kurdistan, which enjoyed an oil-fuelled boom in the decade following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Deeply in debt, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has been implementing austerity measures and seeking financial aid abroad, but at home, people are questioning how a decade of oil riches were spent.
Ezzat Sabir, the head of the finance, economy and investment committee in the Kurdistan regional parliament estimated the government had incurred losses of more than one billion dollars from the embezzlement case about which Karim is being investigated.

Lone surviving Iraqi M1 Abrams tank nicknamed “The Beast” is “tearing up ISIS”
The coalition forces in Iraq and Syria have officially begun phase 2, “dismantle the enemy”, of their strategy to defeat ISIS.
On April 11th Iraqi security forces claimed victory against ISIS in the city of Hīt in the Euphrates river valley. The ancient city fell to the Islamic State in October of 2014 and an offensive to retake the city was launched by the Iraqi Army in February of this year.
This morning U.S. Colonel Steve Warren, spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve, said “we estimate 75% is now clear and ISF will push ISIL completely out of the city in the coming days,” during a Pentagon press briefing.
Iraqi security forces have reportedly raised the Iraqi flag on Hīt’s government building and a lone surviving Iraqi tank crew is receiving most of the credit.
“There is an Iraqi Army M1 Abrams tank, a single tank that is operating inside the city of Hīt and frankly has been handing it to the enemy,” said Col. Warren.
Warren continued to say they have been “blasting enemy I.E.D.’s, punching holes in enemy defenses, and maneuvering between multiple engagements.”
U.S. forces who have been monitoring Iraqi Army movements apparently thought there were multiple tanks in Hīt and were surprised to find out it was all alone.
The Iraqi’s have nicknamed the tank crew “The Beast,” becoming somewhat of folklore to the people of Iraq.
The Iraqi Army did not intend for “The Beast” to bring the fight to ISIS by itself, but unfortunate circumstances left them as the “Lone Survivor.”
Three M1 Abrams tanks were deployed to Hīt and two of them broke down, according to Col. Warren.
Warren credits the success of the M1 Abrams to the tank crew and their training that was provided by the U.S. military.
