butterfly The War on Terror Has Been Very Successful at Creating New Terrorists .............................. t began more than two decades ago. On September 20, 2001, President George W. Bush declared a “war on terror” and told a joint session of Congress (and the American people) that “the course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain.”
If he meant a twenty-year slide to defeat in Afghanistan, a proliferation of militant groups across the Greater Middle East and Africa, and a never-ending, world-spanning war that, at a minimum, has killed about 300 times the number of people murdered in America on 9/11, then give him credit. He was absolutely right.
Days earlier, Congress had authorized Bush “to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determine[d] planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001 or harbored such organizations or persons.” By then, it was already evident, as Bush said in his address, that al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks.
But it was equally clear that he had no intention of conducting a limited campaign. “Our war on terror begins with al-Qaeda, but it does not end there,” he announced. “It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated.”
Congress had already assented to whatever the president saw fit to do. It had voted 420 to 1 in the House and 98 to 0 in the Senate to grant an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that would give him (and presidents to come) essentially a free hand to make war around the world. more in article: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2022/01/war-on-terror-terrorism-counterterrorism-biden

butterfly A government official expects inflation to rise in Iraq and proposes solutions to “curb” it
2022-01-09 07:42 A government official expects inflation to rise in Iraq and proposes solutions to curb itShafaq News/ On Sunday, a government official expected that inflation in Iraq would rise by two decimal places during the current year 2022.
The official, who preferred not to be identified, said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, “It is expected that the annual inflation in Iraq will rise to two decimal places during the current year as a result of the steadily rising prices of goods and materials in the local markets, unless the government intervenes to prevent this.”
He added, “Most of the materials sold in the markets are imported, and therefore they are affected by international prices, which are witnessing a continuous rise during the past two years, especially foodstuffs,” noting that “the rise in the value of the US dollar and the depreciation of the Iraqi dinar basically also affected the rise in inflation.”
The official pointed out that “reviving the stalled government factories and factories and supporting the local product would stop the rise in inflation in Iraq,” adding that “the Central Bank of Iraq has the ability to stop the rise in inflation because its monetary policy is able to absorb inflation.”
The Central Bureau of Statistics had announced last December 21 that the annual inflation in Iraq for the month of November had risen to 8.4% compared to the same month last year. shafaq.com

butterfly Economist warns of unjustified import and exit of hard currency
Saturday 08 January 2022 11:58 The expert in economic affairs, Raad Twij, warned against unjustified import, while stressing the need to use rationalization and reduce excessive consumption, especially in the areas of luxury goods, to reduce monetary demand and the exit of hard currency.
Twig said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: “Last December, pressure from the public was observed to obtain hard currency, as the Central Bank of Iraq sold 4 billion and 114 million dollars, at a rate of 196 million dollars per day, while it was at a rate of 167 million dollars. daily in November at a price of 1460 dinars per dollar, and this transfer was in the form of remittances abroad to finance foreign trade.”
"Excessive consumption will increase the monetary demand, which will push the dollar exchange rate to higher ranks without protection or support from the Central Bank of Iraq to protect the exchange rate above the specified rate that he pledged to maintain."
Twig called for limiting unjustified import, to keep the exchange rate fluctuating within the current level. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=949347
