Can you explain in more detail on your thought there? Thanks

Its a power move! politically driven. Under article 140, Iraq is required to pay back to compensate for damages to the kurdish regions. The kurds have long been the kingmakers in that area and are declaring that article 140 must be in the new constitution when the government is formed. They have been playing both sides of the field adding to the confusion of the coalitions. This will make them side one way or the other (Maliki or Allawi). Play ball or get nothing until the coalitions are formed and a government is in place. Iraq has been paying this debt for years, never once worried about who cashes in on it or what bank it goes to this is just the smoke screen to cover the intent of this action.

Things that make you go hmmmmm...
