US reports ‘phenomenal’ drop in Iraq violence
By Stephen Fidler in London and Demetri Sevastopulo in Washington
Published: November 20 2007 22:15 | Last updated: November 20 2007 22:15
Violence in Iraq has fallen at a rate that has surprised military commanders and even one of the architects of the “surge” that boosted US troop numbers in the country this year, according to figures gathered by the US.
The figures show the numbers of suicide attacks, roadside bombings, mortar and other attacks on US forces and on the Iraqi population have more than halved since 30,000 extra troops in June.
The military attributes the decline to the surge, the spread of local ceasefire deals across Iraq, a ceasefire by radical Shia militias and an improvement in the Iraqi security forces.
Jack Keane, the former army general who helped persuade George W. Bush, US president, to increase troop numbers in Iraq, said the decrease in violence was “phenomenal” and had occurred far faster than he had expected.
“When you understand you are dealing with the complexity of a counter-insurgency operation which can take years to resolve, to have this dramatic a success in a short period of time, it’s unprecedented,” he said.
The US military says the number of civilian deaths has also fallen 60 per cent since the surge took effect, with a drop of 75 per cent in Baghdad. According to icasualties.org, the average monthly US death toll dropped from 96 for the first half of 2007 to 66 in the past four months. The average monthly death toll for Iraqi civilians and security forces has dropped from 2,157 to 1,223 in the same period.
Stephen Biddle, former adviser to General David Petraeus, the top US commander in Iraq, said the most important factor was the spread of ceasefire agreements. He said the “key challenge” now was to make sure they could be adequately policed.
“I am very concerned that if we bring too many of the troops home too fast we leave ourselves without the ability to stabilise these otherwise quite unstable local ceasefire deals.”
While the military displays cautious optimism, however, some experts are less convinced. Anthony Cordesman, a defence expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the statistics did not capture the true picture of violence in Iraq.
“The [numbers] that the coalition counts tend to omit most of the violence in the south, which is Shiite-on-Shiite, and lower-level tensions between Arabs and Kurds. It also doesn’t seem to count Sunni-on-Sunni unless it is al-Qaeda versus anti-al-Qaeda.”

Thieves steal nearly $300 million from Baghdad bank
Thu Jul 12, 2007 10:43AM EDT
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Thieves have stolen nearly $300 million from a bank in Baghdad, police and a bank official said Thursday, in what is probably one of the biggest thefts in Iraq since the 2003 war to topple Saddam Hussein.
Police said the thieves were three guards who worked at the private Dar Es Salaam bank in Baghdad's Karrada district.
They said that when bank employees arrived for work on Wednesday they found the front door open and the money gone. The guards, who normally slept at the bank, had also disappeared, they said.
An official at the bank said about $300 million in U.S. dollars had been stolen, as well as 220 million Iraqi dinars ($176,000). He declined to give further details.
Police said the Interior Ministry and the Finance Ministry had set up a committee to investigate the theft.
It was not immediately clear why the bank had so much cash on hand, but Karrada is a key commercial district in Baghdad.
Ever since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, most transactions have been conducted in cash because of limited facilities to transfer money through banks or other financial institutions.
Huge amounts of money were looted from Iraq's banks during the invasion.

Central bank to be reformed: SBV Governor
VNECONOMY updated: 21/05/2007
According to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) research, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) is at the lowest level of the four levels of independence of central banks in the world. How will the SBV be reformed so that its independence is improved? The interview with SBV Governor Le Duc Thuy will partly answer this question.
Do you agree with the IMF’s appraisal about the current independence of the SBV at present?
We will surely have new policies and mechanisms to raise the independence of the SBV. An independent central bank is always necessary in the building of a banking system under international rules.
Independence means having the control to realise necessary measures to maintain macro-stability, to control inflation and to ensure that credit institutions operate healthily under the laws, through creating a favourable environment for sustainable growth.
What is the itinerary for performing this task?
We have to quickly issue two new laws: The Law on Credit Institutions and the Law on State Bank of Vietnam to replace the current laws. We also need the Law on Inspection and Supervision to create a higher legal framework for banking operations.
Our goal is that from now to 2010 those laws will come to life based on the re-organisation of the machinery of the SBV and adjusting the role and functions of SBV branches in provinces and cities to ensure the independent role of the central bank in realising the monetary policy.
It is expected that local SBV branches will see changes. At first, the functions of small branches will be cut down while those of more important branches will be increased. The establishment of regional branches will be considered.
Will the reform of the SBV influence the five state-owned banks which currently account for around 70% of the banking market?
State-owned banks will gradually have self-control before the law like other banks of other forms of ownership. Along with equitisation, the State will only be one of the shareholders of those banks and the SBV may not be the State’s representative for that part of capital, but another organisation.
Will this help put an end to designated loans?
Even when equitisation is not performed, designating loans needs to be stopped and it can be stopped because we have the Development Bank and the Policy Bank to assume this function.
If there are changes, the change would be the further reduction of unnecessary administrative interventions into state-owned commercial banks. In principle, state-owned commercial banks are treated and behave like commercial banks of other forms of ownership.
What do you think about the opinion that SBV should not manage forex reserve fund?
I think there is not much controversy about this issue but there is no central bank that manages the monetary policy without managing the forex reserve fund because it is not financial management but reserve management to keep the value of the national currency. Therefore this fund must be controlled by the central bank and control doesn’t mean that it can spend the fund for any purpose.
But a large part of foreign currency sources from crude oil is now under the control of the Finance Ministry?
The Finance Ministry collects funds in the Vietnam dong or the US dollar, and this is just the form of collection, but when they spend by selling that money outside or sell to the SBV to increase forex reserves is two different processes. Money collected from crude oil is not directly transferred to the forex reserve fund. The SBV also has to buy foreign currency when it wants to have foreign currency for reserve.

You may have already tried this but here is a link to chases branch locator. http://www.chase.com/ccp/index.jsp?pg_name=ccpmapp/shared/assets/page/Branch_Locator
Hey Tenac, have you gone to any of these Chase branches in person. I had no luck over the phone here in Illinois either. Was told by a coworker which branch to walk into and buy and had no problems. Took a few days for them to come in. I also have a friend in the Dallas/Ft Worth area that has been able to buy from his Chase branch with no problems. GL
Thank you for the work you have done to Mod both of these boards not to mention the Dong board. They are all very helpful.
It is weird with chase. I called 5 local branches they all told me no over the phone. A guy I work with told me that he bought some at one of the branches I called. So I went to that branch and bought some like it was no big deal. But the branch nearest my work that I normally use acted like I was crazy when I asked. I didn't push the subject. Kinda strange but as long as i have a place to go I am happy.
If you haven't been there yet. Many of the newbie dinar questions can be answered on the main dinar board. http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=7851
