Thread: Rates, Dates, & Fates.

Somehow the term “Counter diction of Terms” comes to mind with the photo of Fred Thompson and Oldskiier’s comments. The two are like oil & water they just don’t mix.

Fred Thompson presents himself as a statesman, educated, and well informed when talking or expressing himself. On the other hand, I’m just about two more postings from Oldskiier before I add him to the ignore list!

BAGHDAD - The Iraqi government will impose a total curfew on Baghdad from 3 p.m. (1100 GMT) until further notice, Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki’s office said on Wednesday.

What do you think "a total curfew" means?

of the area, but some of the articles state there are businesses open.

at a time when forces from the Iraqi police and army were sealing off the main streets in the capital.
"Sadr city in eastern Baghdad is quiet and almost void of armed clashes," an eyewitness told VOI.
Another witness said that life in the city has returned to normal. "Markets have reopened, but traffic is slow and limited to cars within the city," he explained

Al-Maliki tells aides U.S. benchmark deadline is June 30 or his ouster possible

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember this??? This is why the hurry I'm sure.

BAGHDAD: Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki fears the Americans will withdraw support for his government — effectively ousting him — if parliament does not pass a draft oil law by the end of June, close associates of the Iraqi leader told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The legislature has not even taken up the draft measure for a fair distribution of the nation's oil wealth — only one of several U.S. benchmarks that are now seen by al-Maliki, a hardline Shiite, as key to continued American support for his troubled government.

Beyond that, the al-Maliki associates told AP, American officials have informed the prime minister they want an Iraqi government in place by year's end that would be acceptable to Iraq's Sunni Arab neighbors, particularly Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt.

"They have said it must be secular and inclusive," one al-Maliki associate said.

To that end, al-Maliki made an unannounced visit Tuesday to Ramadi, the Sunni insurgent stronghold, to meet with tribal leaders, the provincial governor and security chiefs in a bid to signal his willingness for reconciliation to end the bitter and bloody sectarian war that has riven Iraq for more than a year.
There's your June 30th!!

heres another one of those DONE DEALS everybody is disgusted with and its not even me writing the article. (notice that i made a comment AFTER i posted the article. the article states that we will have the hcl done by june 30th or the usa pulls out. you can bet maliki will get it done by that date.)

Uhhhh...Noooooo..the article does not state that. The article states that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki fears the Americans will withdraw support for his government — effectively ousting him — if parliament does not pass a draft oil law by the end of June

I know you mean well but this is a good indication of why you are more often than not stating things as fact. Your statement is similar to what the article says but a few words here and there can change something from what's in the article to the 'fact' that you are stating.

On the down side it sounds like one faction is against the HCL and won’t come on board anytime soon. Does anyone have any real knowledge of just why this HCL has to pass before the RV? Now for the real bummer, the wife has the IQD hid away for safekeeping. Somehow I see a new younger husband in her life and me stuck out with the scorpions in the desert by myself…
