The announcement could be made public this week. And I was told that it would most likely be done before THEIR weekend..... The rate is looking like it is around .41, but he would not tell me the exact amount. I know that they were talking about 70-1.25 USD, but I have not received any updates on that amount. That’s why I stated .41 which was the amount originally agreed upon at the G8. I was told that the "leak" from two weeks ago was the start of it, but the Aimma Bridge deaths delayed it until this week. So, we should see something this week. I know we have been down this road before, and delays do in fact happen.... let’s hope no delays are in the future."shotgunsusie

"For us to think about
I'm just throwing this out there for us to ponder.
I am in Iraq, and things have quited down ALLOT recently as far as attacks. ie mortars and rockets. We just went to U-3 stautus (full battle rattle...ballistic vests and head gear) during dark hours (1800-0600) until further notice. And I read in here somewhere that road blocks are going into effect on all roads in and out of Baghdah this weekend.
What do you think is going on??????????"

The bolded information goes back to last year and should not even be in with the other information. The 0.41 was the original rumored peg starting in July 05'...

We know this will happen but we don't know when. IF it happens Sunday like some have predicted then excellent, break open the bubbly but don't be down if it doesn't happen.

It will one day soon.

Iraqi Official Says Progress Being Made in Iraq's Transition

Iraqi Official Says Progress Being Made in Iraq's Transition
Deputy prime minister asks United States to "stay the course" as Iraq stabilizes

Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Salih shares his assessment of Iraq's current state with reporters at the Pentagon, Sept. 14. (DoD photo)Washington – Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih says he hopes the United States will continue to “stay the course” in supporting his country’s political, economic and military transition because Iraq’s failure to make that transition would be catastrophic for the Middle East.

Salih told reporters at the Pentagon September 14 that success for his nation is both possible and necessary “to turn around the course of events in that part of the world.” The Iraqi deputy prime minister provided his assessment of Iraq’s current state following a morning meeting with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

In spite of violence, car bombs and the loss of far too many lives, serious mainstream Iraqi leaders are searching for the political equilibrium needed to sustain stability across the country, Salih said. He said his colleagues in the Iraqi government want the United States to continue its supporting role as Iraqis “are searching for the answers among ourselves.”

Iraqis are trying to create a balanced, inclusive political process and are determined to achieve that goal, the deputy prime minister said. Despite the daily television images of carnage in Iraq’s cities, there is a lot of constructive work going on, said Salih, mentioning two parliamentary elections, successful provincial elections and “the first popularly ratified constitution in the history of that part of the world.”

“We have embarked on a monumental project in Iraq about building a functioning democracy in the heart of the Islamic Middle East,” he said. He added that Iraq is trying to conclude its transition at the time of “so many upheavals and changes” across the region.

Iraq’s transition also is happening while the region is “in the crosshairs of international terrorism,” the Iraqi official said, adding that many of the fundamental problems of the Middle East are burdening Iraq’s transition and making it even more difficult.

Salih said a wide range of issues in the Middle East are affecting Iraq’s struggle to achieve democracy. Those include the war against terrorism, attempts of former Iraqi regime members to return to power in Baghdad, the quarrel between Iran and the United Nations over nuclear issues, the Arab-Israeli conflict, private militias and the politicalization of Islam.

The deputy prime minister is in Washington to meet with Cabinet members, congressional leaders and prominent members of the business community. Having had a chance to listen during his visit to some of the debate about the U.S. role in Iraq, Salih said it is crucial for the United States to sustain its support for his country as it faces its political and security challenges.

FREEDOM IS THE GREATEST GIFT

The deputy prime minister also said his trip has given him the opportunity to express his nation’s gratitude for U.S. help in liberating Iraq. The fundamental issue for the Iraqis, Salih said, “is that the United States helped us overcome tyranny and gave use the greatest gift of all: freedom.”

Even though Iraq’s transition has been difficult, the official said “we all have to acknowledge that Iraqis are a lot better off without Saddam Hussein” as is the whole region and the rest of the world. He added that there is agreement among many people in his country that current problems “pale in comparison with the tyranny and horrors we had to endure under Saddam Hussein.”

The deputy prime minister said right now Iraq is focused on expediting the training of security forces, which now number close to 300,000, and ensuring that almost half of Iraq’s provinces will be shifted to Iraqi military control by the end of 2006.

The government also is focused on accomplishing a successful political reconciliation, according to Salih. The deputy prime minister says Iraq’s National Security Council has set a number of benchmarks to be achieved through political compromise between September 2006 and March 2007, including the establishment of a Constitutional Review Committee, passage of an investment law and a law on equitable sharing of income from oil revenues, and the establishment of a mechanism to disarm private militias.

Muqtada Sadr and other leaders must give up their weapons and decide to become part of the political process and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has communicated clearly that his government “will not tolerate illegal activities” by militias, Salih said.

Asked if more U.S. or coalition troops are needed in the troubled al-Anbar province, Salih said the coalition is working hard to augment the indigenous capabilities of Iraqi forces there. Iraqi government officials also are cooperating with tribal leaders in Anbar to create an environment that would be more hostile to extremists and terrorists. (See related article.)

SYRIA’S COOPERATION SOUGHT

Salih also called on Iraq’s neighbor, Syria, “to behave more responsibly and cooperate with us on the issue of security and to clamp down on the presence and activity of some former regime leaders who are presently in Syria, as well as some of the terrorists that are going across the border.”

Salih stressed the importance of offering Iraqis the economic benefits that they expect as a result of being liberated. To that end, he said the government is pursuing a budget for 2007 that would provide the economic stability that his country requires.

He also said an International Compact for Iraq, a road map for achieving economic stability in about five years, is being crafted. Salih expressed hope the international community will be Iraq’s partner as the country strives to achieve its vision.
A transcript of Salih’s new conference is available on the Defense Department’s Web site.
