Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki did not win the political majority that would have enabled him to form local governments by himself, according to the results of the local elections held in 12 Iraqi provinces. In the coming period, he will be required to engage in a fierce struggle with political blocs, some of which — even Shiite ones — are his opponents.

. Wrong thread

and it is equally clear that the GKP executives also have no idea how to act with decorum in court..................

new here, hello chaps. what do you base that on. were you at court?

during the course of the hearing, there were regular reports from ringside

thanks cynic, are you able to point me to the posts that led you to think what you said. are the reports you mention on this board or another website. just trying to get to facts. good luck.

niceonecyril is a prolific updater for this thread, so you would need to trawl back through the pages to find the relevant bits, but he did daily post the details of the proceedings.

thanks , i'm still trying to figure out how to go back in time on this board!

"earlier posts" or "page"

Try around page 190.

oops, ' earlier post' button.

thanks alot for the link. i was just wondering what was reported to justify cynic saying,
'and it is equally clear that the GKP executives also have no idea how to act with decorum in court, thus losing at least an element of credibility'

i've probably read the court feedback before elsewhere but i'll go back to your link later and read what's on this board. anyway niceonecyril refutes what cynic says .

my recollection - and i admit it was often difficult to determine exactly who was saying or doing what - was that EXC's management/owners were less than consistent or convincing in their evidence ..... however, GKP's equivalent, certainly at one point, seemed to be treating the court rather like a perry mason drama

cynic who is chipnlouie seems to be gunning for you ....surely not MRSI in another guise?

i don't think so, but wouldn't much care if that was the case

i'm not 'gunning' for you cynic, i'm not mrsi. i'm new and didn't know this board was plagued with the usual BB tiffs. anyhoo i'll stick to lurking so not to upset halifax.

oh don't worry about friend hali; he really is an ok guy and no doubt thought i needed his protective arm round my shoulders :-) ...... generally speaking, this board is very well-mannered and good humoured, though inevitably some spite and idiocy (prob from me even!) occasionally creeps in

by the way, was i wrong with my recollection and/or interpretation of what went on in court?

btw cynic, i was curious because the court reporters made it sound like a slam dunk for gkp . it sounded too good to be true. just saw this post in another place........

- you can buy a copy of some excellent notes for 300$ or wait a month and do it through the court disclosure request for a transcript- then again all the rodneys on the board have got legal advice to show Excalibur didnt have a case - when errrr - dont envisage it being a clear cut decision - due to the multiples involved - perhaps even an appeal -

so i'm not such a dimwit after all!

wrong thread

27 April 2013 / KADİR UYSALOĞLU, LONDON
Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) High Representative to the United Kingdom, has said the KRG would consider establishing an independent state if a civil war erupts in Iraq and dictatorship rules the country.

In an interview with Today's Zaman, Rahman underlined that the KRG would separate from Iraq under two conditions: “First is a civil war. We would never be a party of a civil war. The second is Iraq's returning to old days of dictatorship because our people suffered a lot during dictatorships of the past. So, it would be more likely for us to separate from Iraq.

The leadership of Kurdistan frequently floats the idea of independence in case what they call Baghdad's “authoritarian practices” continue against Arbil. The armies of both sides have briefly clashed along the line of contact in several cities in the past few months and tensions are running high due to an oil pipeline Kurdistan is planning to build to Turkey. Otherwise, our commitment to a unified, democratic and federal Iraq would continue,” she said.
