site posted on 5 September 2010:

"I heard from (name edited) about an hour ago that American Contractor, who has constantly been a naysayer regarding the imminence of the RV/RI, has been quoted as saying on (website) that in fact the RV has already occurred in Baghdad. While I sincerely hope this is true, I’m a bit skeptical and suspect that American Contractor has mistaken the issuance of the small denominated notes to the banks for the RV itself. In any case, neither (name edited) nor I can confirm this at this time."

The Kurdish Regional President has said that his political party
is now going to back PM Nuri Al-Maliki, for a second term as
Prime Minister. This message was conveyed to Dr. Iyad Allawi by
Massoud Barzani the Kurdish Regional President. This is good
news, for the Kurds because they are no longer sitting on the
fence and a decision has been made.

September. I had learned about the information as it was
initially published in a local Baghdad newspaper called
Al-Mashriq. I was unable to get a copy at the time. Later, the
same information was posted online by a local Baghdad Internet
news source URNEWS. I have enclosed a copy of the web site and
the article. The same article that was published on other
internet sites.

New Currency Info

More of these of articles will be released especially when you
have the IMF and World Bank meet next month.

I work long hours and at the same time try and bring you updates
on what is happening in Iraq that would be important to you all.
Sometimes I can not get out the information fast enough due to my
work schedule.

I do promote my web site and the mailing list to obtain
subscribers it is only natural as any other web site owner would
be doing the same thing. Your joining the mailing list for my
updates that is most likely important to you all. I do not hype
anything.

When I see people joining my American Contractor mailing list it
does give me satisfaction that I am doing something that is
beneficial to you all and keep writing.

Thanks for joining and reading.

No where in my post on 5 September does it state anything about
lower denominations being issued in Baghdad. Many of you know my
position about this subject, there are no lower denominations in
Iraq. Previously, I only mentioned in my 5 September post that
new Iraqi currency will be issued.

We have nine or ten days left depending on which religious sect you fall under before the Ramadan celebration is over. The feast that marks the end of Ramadan is Eid ul-Fitr which lasts for several days. For all of you waiting on, expecting a government to form during Ramadan you will continue to wait. The Eid celebration is more important than forming a government.

It is possible that there will be a sharing of power between Dr. Iyad Allawi and Adil abd-al-Mahdi, who is a leading member in the Iraqi Islamic Supreme council (IISC). The term will be two years each however, now they have to decide who will be first to take the two years when already they have waisted six months. The State of Law political bloc has downplayed the agreement between the IISC and Al-Iraqiyah List. The agreement has the blessing of Al-Sadr.

Your probably thinking they are the governments Ministry, they have plenty of money. The truth is that they are broke and as the same way with not knowing how much electricity the Iraqi people are using to collect the money what is owed to the government they also can't collect what is owed to them from landline phones.

This is not concrete as other names are being discussed. Names such as Adil Abd-al-Mahdi, Al-Chalabi. The Sadrist assure that that outgoing Prime Minister Maliki will not be endorsed.
