UAE to cancel all of Iraq's $7B debt

www.cnn.com

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- The president of the United Arab Emirates has agreed to cancel all of Iraq's debts to the country, an official government source said.

Sheikh Khalifa agreed to annul Iraq's nearly $7 billion in debt after meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

Debt relief is a major issue for Iraq, and the West has urged nations to forgive billions in Iraqi debt.

U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt recently said that a "significant majority" of the Iraq debt is held by Arab states.

"What is going on right now are technical discussions between the Iraqis and each of the Gulf Arab states, including the Saudis, on exactly what the amount of the debt is, whether that would include interest, what are the documents that would support the actual claim," he said in late May.

This is really odd...

especially as I made a thread about Iraq paying 360million debt in cash to Bulgaria

And after reading this

Al-Maliki's government is seeking to develop close ties to all countries of the region.

www.cnn.com...
only strengthens the idea of Iraq becoming a major military and financial hub for the entire middle east.

Please, $7 Billion is nothing!

The US sent $12 billion in cold hard cash on pallets to Iraq and it just vanished without a trace. Source: Guardian UK

So this is relatively chump change. A symbolic gesture from the oil-rich UAE.

... A symbolic gesture from the oil-rich UAE.

indeed there is more than meets the eye going on here...

last year the news leaked from the Bilderbergers' that in 2008 oil would be allowed to sell in the range of $105- $150 bbl,,, and so it came to pass.

next, all this transfer of wealth from the global community and the commonly democratic 'Western' nations into the UAE and Abu Dhabi and Dubai is astounding !!! Its as if a master plan is in the process of creating a highly advanced series of high-tech cities, a super deluxe Financial district, World class leisure venues, like indoor snow skiing, world class golf and throughbred racing... Its as if the plan is to corrupt the Gulf States with hedonistic living and extravagance which the rest of the world will envy === even as the western worlds standard-of-living in in a controlled decline !

this gesture by the UAE was probably not rooted in Arab 'brotherhood' as the contentions between Shia and Sunni systems are seemingly to las forever.
No, i suppose the West, or at least the USA during Bush's mideast tour more than a month ago, put a bunch of diplomatic reasons on the table and used some military or fighter sales as an inducement...
lets say about $7 billion in arms, defense missiles, aircrafts, etc

or else the elusive Illuminati-Bilderbergs' have been pulling the strings on their Grand End-Game for the middle-east {and eur-asia later on}


(since Brezizenski is Obamas advisor, one should go review Z.Bs book, 'The Grand Chessboard" and deduce how this UAE gesture is a tactic
in a larger scheme)
