Lower demand for dollar in daily auction
By Dergham Mohammed Ali
Baghdad, Apr 25, (VOI) – Demand for the dollar decreased in the Iraqi Central Bank’s daily auction on Wednesday, reaching $63.975 million compared with $83.140 million on Tuesday.
In its daily statement the bank said it had covered all bids, which included $7.735 million in cash and $56 million in foreign transfers, at an exchange rate of 1,270 dinars per dollar, unchanged from Monday.
Twelve banks participated in Tuesday's auction and offered to sell two million dollars. The Iraqi Central Bank bought the entire amount at 1,270 per Iraqi dinar.
Ali al-Yasseri, a trader at the auction, told VOI "the decline in demand for the dollar in today's session was partially due to the decrease in bids for dollars in foreign transfers at the session, and partially due to speculations that the bank will not change the exchange rate at auction until next week."
The Iraqi Central Bank runs a daily auction from Sunday to Thursday.

WASHINGTON - President Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress lurched toward a veto showdown over Iraq on Wednesday, as the House planned to vote on legislation that would order troops to begin coming home by Oct. 1.

Democrats predicted the bill would pass, albeit narrowly, while Republicans said setting a timetable on the war would hand a victory to terrorists.

Several House members said they would not try to block the bill negotiated with the Senate in a bid for party unity despite their desire for an earlier, binding withdrawal date.

"We need to claim victory for our soldiers," said Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas. "They have done their job. It's time to bring them home now."

The House vote scheduled Wednesday comes as the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, and other defense officials try to convince lawmakers that a timetable would push Iraq into chaos. Bush's promise guarantees a historic confrontation with Democrats emboldened by last year's election, which handed them control of Congress.

"For the first time, the president will have to be accountable for this war in Iraq," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said Tuesday. "And he does not want to face that reality."

The $124.2 billion bill would fund, among other things, the war in Iraq but trigger the withdrawal of troops beginning this fall. It sets a nonbinding goal of completing the pullout by April 1, 2008.

Troops could remain in Iraq after the 2008 date but only for limited non-combat missions, including counterterrorism operations and training Iraqi forces.

The bill, already negotiated with Senate leaders, is expected to reach the president's desk by early next week following a final Senate vote Thursday.

Democrats view the November elections that allowed them to take control of the House and the Senate as a referendum on Bush's conduct of the war. Bush, however, says he stands firm on his latest strategy for winning the war and dismisses as counterproductive the Democratic call for withdrawal.

"That means our commanders in the middle of a combat zone would have to take fighting directions from legislators 6,000 miles away on Capitol Hill," Bush told reporters Tuesday. "The result would be a marked advantage for our enemies and a greater danger for our troops."

Whether Democratic leaders had enough votes to pass the bill in the House has been in question. The original House bill included a binding timeline, demanding combat ends by September 2008. Several of the 218 members who approved the bill said they reluctantly agreed to back the binding timeline even though they wanted troops home sooner.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., chairman of the Democratic caucus, said, "We feel very good about where the caucus is."

Democrats, with their slim margins in the House and Senate, are unlikely to override Bush's veto.

The White House and Democrats traded insults Tuesday. Vice President Dick Cheney accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of pursuing a defeatist strategy in Iraq to win votes at home.

"Some Democratic leaders seem to believe that blind opposition to the new strategy in Iraq is good politics," Cheney told reporters at the Capitol after attending the weekly Republican policy lunch. "Senator Reid himself has said that the war in Iraq will bring his party more seats in the next election."

"It is cynical to declare that the war is lost because you believe it gives you political advantage," Cheney said.

Reid, D-Nev., dismissed Cheney's comments. "I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with the administration's chief attack dog," he told reporters.

Pelosi was not expected to attend Wednesday's briefing by Petraeus, instead opting for a 30-minute phone call with the general Tuesday evening. Reid was expected to attend the Senate session.

I don't see this happening. If Bush vetos the measure, which he is sure to do, both the Senate and the House needs a 2/3 majority to override the veto and sign it into law. I don't believe that either the Senate or the House have such a majority (one that equates to 2/3 majority, that is). Stranger things can happen, but I don't see this as being a success. So personally, I don't think there is anything to worry about there.

I could be wrong - Been wrong before, and I'm sure to be wrong many times to come...
