    Re: The state of law reveals the fact that it presented "concessions to Barzani"

    BGG ~ This is one of the main articles over the last few days that I really wanted to get into... just sooooo much here. This one was out of a BARRAGE of news pieces over the last couple of weeks seeming to favor Maliki.

    Everyone so upset over anything positive for Maliki, they didn't stop to read it!!

    First, nowhere in here does it say that they actually had, have or will have a deal. Also - this strong budding U.S. support for the Kurds doesn't bode well for any alliance with deep ties to Iran. Which would be the cornerstone of an Ameri, Abadi, Maliki and Barzani alliance. Way too much Iran there for the U.S. to put up with. The Kurds need us more than anything in the long run.

    Ultimately - they are only saying they are willing to offer concessions to Barzani. It doesn't say he agreed or that they have a deal.

    This is an SLC spokesperson who is "revealing" information... great. Obviously, this news - whether true or not, would help Maliki. If true, it would not be good for Sadr, who would be the the odd man out, and probably push him to an "opposition" role in Parliament. Even if it's not true - it sows some discord and puts pressure on the deals currently in place and whatever negotiations are coming between Sadr, Abadi, Ameri, Barzani and Hakim. In fact, the big winner from this round appears to be Abaidi. Right about the time this came out - within the next day or so, Sadr dropped his single requirement of Abadi for his support as the next PM.

    Further, Chihod is not a reliable source. He's a wind-bag from way back. He says this visit was natural between winning parties to exchange views on the formation of a strong government (Maliki lingo and a minor cheap shot at Abadi - more later) AWAY from concessions or political deals (I guess he's referring to the two alliances already in place?). I hate to break it to him... there are 3 other "more winning" parties ahead of anyone in this meeting.

    In the very next paragraph he's then pointing out that they, too, are willing to make concessions, but for the "homeland" and that these meetings were held in public. The only thing he's doing is making themselves look worse and worse. Both Maliki and Barzani were the ones caught in hinky, back door, oil smuggling schemes making themselves rich on stolen oil, in exchange for allowing the Kurds and Peshmerga to expand at will and no resistance to Maliki's agendas.

    This article also lays out the Barzani side of the conversation, saying any alliance they wind up in with Baghdad will be based on 3 conditions...

    1) They need to make (or have) "historic relations"

    2) Implement the Constitution with logic and rationality

    3) and abide by the principles of partnership.

    Nowhere does it say Barzani and Maliki are in another deal. In fact, I kind of wonder if the Kurds are even willing to go this way again.
