walkongstick: U.S. Official Doubts ISIS Mosul Bank Heist Windfall
A raid by Iraqi militants on Mosul's central bank and other smaller banks as they overran Nineveh province earlier this month likely did not provide the group with hundreds of millions of dollars, a senior intelligence official told NBC News on Tuesday.

walkongstick: U.S. Official Doubts ISIS Mosul Bank Heist Windfall
A raid by Iraqi militants on Mosul's central bank and other smaller banks as they overran Nineveh province earlier this month likely did not provide the group with hundreds of millions of dollars, a senior intelligence official told NBC News on Tuesday.
....
Two weeks ago, Mosul mayor and
Nineveh governor Atheel al-Nujaifi had claimed that terrorists with the Islamic
State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) had stolen as much as $400 million from the
Bank of Mosul and numerous provincial banks, as well as large quantities of
gold bullion.
The Mosul heists did provide them with funds "to the tune of millions of dollars," said the official, but not "hundreds of millions."
ISIS gets some money from foreign donors, but it "pales to what they get from extortion, robbery, kidnapping," said the official.
"They require drivers to pay 'road taxes' in territories it controls," said the official, who estimated that the group takes in several million dollars a month.

Council on Foreign Relations…Iraq to Form New Government Next Week
Daily News Brief 6/26/2014
The Iraqi parliament will convene on Tuesday to try to form a new government, Iraq's vice president said Thursday (AP). Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who leads the powerful Mahdi army, echoed Western diplomats in calling for an emergency national unity government, a day after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki rebuked such demands (Al Jazeera). Iran is flying surveillance drones over Iraq and supplying Iraqi armed forced with materiel, U.S. officials said (NYT), while policymakers in Tehran are debating the merits of supporting besieged allies in Baghdad and Damascus (WSJ). Meanwhile, U.S. secretary of state John Kerry is seeking to muster support from Arab allies to peel Sunni tribesmen from their tactical alliance with ISIS (WSJ).
Analysis
"U.S. President Barack Obama, a man who campaigned on extricating the United States from 'dumb' wars in the Middle East, finds himself potentially embroiled in another one. He is sending a small contingent of special forces to work with the Iraqi military, but many in Washington are urging him to take more decisive action against the ISIL militants sweeping across Iraq, seizing territory and oil facilities and threatening to sow chaos in Baghdad and beyond. This was not inevitable. The Syrian revolution—and the hesitant, confused international reaction to it—paved the way for the resurrection of a militant Islam that would turn vast regions of Iraq and Syria into borderless jihadi strongholds and inch closer to redrawing the map of the Middle East—in practical terms if not on paper," writes Rania Abouzeid in Politico Magazine.
"Simply bombing ISIS strongholds won't do the trick. In fact, military action alone will only further alienate the Sunnis—and reinforce the notion that America serves as Maliki's air force. Advocates of American military action worry that an unchecked ISIS might someday launch terrorist strikes against the United States or Western Europe. Maybe so. But another way to inspire such attacks is to bomb ISIS positions (and probably kill some Sunni civilians in the process) while doing nothing to reform Iraqi politics," writes CFR's Fred Kaplan in Slate.
"Iraq's parliamentary elections, which were held at the end of April, may open the way to getting rid of Maliki and reconfiguring power in a new national-unity government. But the country's squabbling politicians are obstinate. After the previous elections, in 2010, the parliament broke a world record for the longest time taken to form a new government, bickering for a full nine months until Maliki, whose alliance had come in second in popular votes, and his thirty-four-member cabinet were approved. Maliki prevailed by simply holding out longer than the others; the same intransigence has characterized his style of governance ever since," writes Robin Wright for the New Yorker.

I can't beleive its Ramadan already......sigh
When is Ramadan in 2014?
Ramadan in 2014 will start on Saturday, the 28th of June and will continue for 30 days until Sunday, the 27th of July.
Based on sightability in North America, in 2014 Ramadan will start in North America a day later - on Sunday, the 29th of June.
Note that in the Muslim calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Friday, the 27th of June.

vail27 » June 26th, 2014, tomorrow is the anniversary of release from chp 7 last year and Ramadan starts on Saturday....last year that was mostly the focus on the RV having to happen either before or at the end of Ramadan but not during......assuming since no real mention of it, it is less of a factor this year??
RV can happen anytime even during this year????
just a thought, interesting how things change from year to year as the layers unfold.....
