SWFloridaGuy, the month of June has come and almost gone.
1. There was no UNSC meeting like you said. There was only a report due. PDF Page 6. Iraq - Development Fund for Iraq
2. Did the Tariffs go into effect? They might have, but I didn't feel the earth move.
3. World Banking and Financial Summit in London on June 26th and 27th. Shabibi did not speak. He was not on the speakers list. PDF Look at page six which is the speakers list.
Like I said, it wasn't that big of a meeting. You placed a lot of emphasis on this one. All the forum readers gave you pluses and negged me big time. Sorry people.
So, when is the National Meeting?
Ok my turn:
#1. The link you provided is older than the one I provided almost a month ago.
#2. The official report and transcript has not been released yet. So, you have no idea who spoke and who didn't and neither do I until it is released. "
World Banking & Finance Summit 2012 took place in London on 26-27 June. A summary of discussions will be available shortly."
http://www.omfif.org..._banking_summit (That is not the full list of speakers, just some confirmed main speakers).
#3. I made it clear time and again it is an important meeting where economic policy for the next 10 years is laid out and that's it. I also admitted I had no clue if the dinar would be discussed or not. How could I? What I said was if Iraq was planning to make any changes anytime in that amount of time they lay out policy for, then it would be a topic of interest.
#4. A day or two before Shabibi was scheduled to be in London he was rumored to be in Switzerland. I am not exactly sure of his travel plans because he must have found my tracking beacon I had stuck to his forehead. You'll have to forgive me, I also am not sure if he had frosted flakes or buttered toast. I slept in that morning.
#4. Do you have any idea what's going on with the tariffs? Does anyone? Why would you expect that I do? We've all known they could be postponed again just like they have many times before. I can only go by what we read in print and like everything else, that is subject to change and out of our control.
#5. They have have been trying to hold a successful National Meeting since January. I said look for a date announced. Did I give a date? I'm still waiting on that myself.
#6. No dates ever seem to pan out but all we have to work with is what's in print. How long have you been in this?
#7. You would be the master of the obvious weren't it for the fact that hindsight is 20/20 with you implying the existence of a rule to which you are the exception
#8. Relax man, we're in this together. I don't pretend to have the answers. I read hundreds of articles a day and do my best to report accurately. What else can I do?
