Experts: Great victories have created high confidence among the citizens and our heroic forces
Baghdad / Omar Abdul Latif
Security experts revealed that four international staffs have begun to draw inspiration from the experience of the Iraqi military units to win over the gangs, and while pointing to the high confidence gained by our heroic army in the citizens after the series of major victories achieved during the past few years, The military will carry out an operation in the "dangerous triangle" that is concentrated by the terrorist gangs to eliminate it completely.
A global experience
"The recent victories of the Iraqi army against the terrorists have given a great impetus to the military and security establishment which has become a leader in the international community," security expert Jassem Hanoun told Al-Sabah. "Four bodies, led by the United States, Britain, France and Germany, Which were fought by the military units to win over these terrorist organizations, and to know the methods and the foundations on which the basis of terrorism in the face of these countries, not to mention the capabilities that have grown and multiplied in relation to the fight against those gangs which are unknown to many of the forces of the mass Yeh in the world because it has a radical idea but using modern technology and sophisticated weapons. »
"The language of the numbers is present in the victories of our forces to liberate one third of the Iraqi territories and to expel the terrorists by beating them completely and killing all the founders of the organization and urging it to deprive it of the economic resources of 5 million dollars a day of smuggled oil and the effects and imposition of royalties and related to the affairs of citizens, That «this achievement gave Iraq an advanced position in the ranks of respected countries».
The security expert added that «Iraq gave France one of the important lessons in the treatment of terrorism after its failure in how to eradicate it, although it is a nuclear state and has the military potential and the fifth state in NATO, and this is important because it did not face such terrorist gangs and began to take the Iraqi experience in how to besiege Supply sites and identify terrorist methods on which they depend.

The Arab Council in Kirkuk: The bombing aims to influence the results of counting and manual sorting

Said the leader of the Arab group in the Council of Kirkuk Abdullah al-Jubouri, on Sunday, that the bombing aims to affect the results of counting and sorting by hand, indicating that there are parties striving to thwart the counting and sorting in Kirkuk, and not to change the results of the elections.
Al-Jubouri stressed that these bodies have followed all means, including violence and bombings, which indicates the seriousness of the situation in the province, which needs to strengthen its security, and the central government to protect the province and protect the ballot boxes and provide a safe environment for re-counting and sorting.
Iraq seeks to control its western areas security fence on the border with Syria
BAGHDAD - Iraqi border guards began building a security fence and building control towers along the border with Syria in the west of the country to prevent the infiltration of members of an organization calling from Syrian territory to Iraq, which announced last December the military victory over the organization, but the latter has since been implemented Flares are raging in different parts of the country and civilian and military casualties are reported.
The long border security with Syria and its desert terrain remained a complex security task for the Iraqi state, but it was inseparable from political dimensions related to the power struggle in the country.
The United States, which is leading a military alliance that has made a significant and effective contribution to a crushing defeat in Iraq, attaches great importance to the border area between Syria and Iraq, which could be controlled by Iraqi Shiite militias loyal to Iran, a direct ground point between Tehran and Damascus, .
The full control of Iraq's regular forces on the border with Syria would avoid Baghdad embarrassment to Washington, which still has a strong influence in Iraq and his government still needs US support on more than one level. The construction of the fence will be both security and politically feasible in avoiding conflict with the United States.
Recently, armed Shiite factions said they had been shelled by unknown aircraft in the border area with Syria, promising to respond after determining who was responsible for the bombing.
During the war against the Da'ash organization that continued in Iraq for nearly three years, the Shiite militias backed by Iran emerged as a military force, balanced, well armed and organized. Its active participation in the war has transformed it into a kind of reserve army entrusted with securing Iranian field control in Iraq, which is based on the broad political influence of Tehran in the country.
The control of Shiite militias in the Sunni areas of Iraq in the north and west of the country, after the presence of such forces in those areas is unimaginable.
The events that accompanied the course of the war showed an organization in Iraq advocating Iran's use of popular mobilization militias to achieve a more important strategic objective of securing the Tehran-Damascus-Beirut line by controlling western Iraq, including the border with Syria. The emergence of a firm American position and ready to go far in preventing the popular mobilization from being concentrated in those areas, and in other areas inside Iraq.
A US willingness to use all means to prevent Shiite militias from controlling border areas, including bombing their positions
A few days ago, government sources told the "Arabs" that "Baghdad received a clear message from the leadership of the International Alliance, which provides that it will prevent the presence of any forces of the popular crowd in the new areas of tension," referring to areas in the provinces of Diyala, Salah al-Din and Kirkuk, The past few weeks have seen several bloody attacks by preachers.
According to the same sources, "the International Alliance asked to be briefed in advance any plans that Baghdad intends to implement in these areas, to counted

7-2-2018 Newshound/Intel BGG Article: "Iraq: 20 Lawmakers to Be Arrested as Parliament Term Ends" I’m a little curious to see if there is any specific sectarian break-down on this round of prosecutions. Not that it really makes a direct impact on the overall investment – I’m just curious. It also looks like, to me, the political climate is getting better and better. Progress. Anyone telling you the political climate isn’t important simply isn’t paying attention. The things we are seeing unfold right now are pretty good for the overall welfare of this investment and Iraq in general.

I am not one to get overly excited but in this case I am one that believes that Iraq will continue pushing the banking system forward. That is exactly what we want.

7-1-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat ...Some are saying that the Iraqi dinar is 1 to 1 in Iraq already. One of the reasons to reinstate the dinar is to be able to use it in the world market place. World Market Place means ‘outside of Iraq’, thus you are NOT in Iraq. And until the rate changes on FOREX (with a significant increase) and the banks are willing to exchange it for us – it makes no difference to you or I what is going on inside of Iraq. Besides, I have a very good, reliable source in the CBI that tells me absolutely NOTHING has yet occurred and the dinar inside and outside Iraq is still at the rate of 1190 dinars to 1 US dollar.

The group, which calls itself "Daschgram", compiled slogans for pornographic sites and hot pictures and put them on the cover.

Invasive injection inspired by mosquitoes .. Innovation does not cause pain
WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI) - Scientists from the Ohio State University have invented a new type of microneedle, which will be a new scientific discovery because it does not cause pain to patients.
Scientists inspired the new discovery of mosquitoes. The insect, which everyone dislikes because of pimples and pain, has inspired them in the new medical examination.
"The reason for our view of nature is that it has gone through a lot of evolution to discover the simplest and most efficient way," said Bharat Bushan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Ohio State University.
"Our focus was on understanding how mosquitoes bite because they can do it for a few minutes without feeling anything, so we know if we can develop a pain-free injection."
"We are working on understanding how mosquitoes bite people without hurting them or feeling them, in order to achieve the first form of injection," Bushhan said, stressing that it depends on several factors.
He explained that these factors include the use of anesthetic based on saliva secreted during biting, the design of the age of injection, vibration during the penetration process, and a set of soft and solid parts on the insect hose, which represents the lip sucking extended.
"This combination allows mosquitoes to penetrate the skin with a third of the force required for artificial injection," Bushhan said, pointing out that the drug agent could take care of the rest afterwards.
According to the expert, it is possible to create a precise injection containing two needles, the first of which inject the drug and the other can withdraw blood or injection of medical drugs in the body, stressing that the necessary materials and technology required to create such a syringe already exist.
"Although it is expected to increase in cost, it will be useful in cases where children or adults are suffering from injecting phobia, and will provide more time for normal delivery of drugs in the blood," Bushan said.
