The best of best to you 10YL. See you back here soon.

I think the parliament should be the first to use the new technology that could be installed in the urinals and toilets right next to the cafeteria..... the system turns the urine and sewage back into drinkable water.....in the unveiling ceremony of the new working system, Maliki could take the first sip.....

Bump

It’s more blah blah blah as far as I’m concerned. They got “talking the talk” down to a science.

This article sounds great, but it may as just be saying blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.... since we’ve heard it all before.....no action equals more blah blah blah..... and why did they call it the “Donors conference” and not the “Investors Conference “...... because they just want handouts? What a bunch of thieves as Trump said.

See SupraRacers post above lol

Just imagine if he could really talk freely!!! Lol ......They are a bunch of low life scumbag thieves....something we’ve all known for quite some time now ....

"The political blocs should not succumb to outside pressures, especially the US, as the parliament's vote on the budget is a challenge to these pressures and a big blow to America, which usually carries suspicious agendas that damaged Iraq over 14 years." She said. wow... these people are unreal

For sure for sure. I was looking at some old articles/ posts on this site from 2009......it’s unbelievable, but it’s pretty much been the same old song and dance for all these years....they should be embarrassed already for what they have and haven’t done.... it really is UNBELIEVABLE!......I hope they are shamed in front of the whole world who forgave their debts and believed in a new Iraq, only to be made fools of thus far.

Go World Bank!!!!

Go World Bank!!!!

The “cafeteria legislation bill” allowing them to spend as much time in the cafeteria as needed, was passed a long time ago..... who does this guy think he is?

He should tell them straight up “as long as Maliki and his cronies are around, as long as Iran blatantly threatens us, as long as ISIS is at our borders, and as long as there are terrorists killing people right in Baghdad, THE U.S. TROOPS NEED TO STAY... do we understand?!?”

my·o·pi·a mīˈōpēə/ noun nearsightedness. lack of imagination, foresight, or intellectual insight. "historians have been censured for their myopia in treating modern science as a western phenomenon" Had to look that one up. Lol. Always something to learn.... Thanks 10YL and I agree. So much potential versus so much greed, corruption, egomaniacal behaviors etc.

“The WB will support system" rel="">support such projects by offering guarantees, compensation of first loss, and markets exploration.” Ok that’s what I was looking for. The World Bank is putting themselves on the hook.

It’s going to be oil or other Iraqi resources, traded for investment.... that is really the only way I see anything happening.... no intelligent country is going to “invest” without an extremely solid return that is guaranteed.... heck, if I were the EU or any other country, I would have them send me oil in advance, before I start investing....there’s no “good faith” in Iraq

Iraq is a country of honest business people, laws to protect investors, and the extremely competent GOI has laid the rock solid foundation to allow for investors money to pour in with little to no risk. Iraq could rename their country “integrity” and no one would even notice. Investing in Iraq is a sure thing, slam dunk. Any investor should be truly thankful for this opportunity to invest in one of the most forward and progressive countries in the world. They are on the cusp of being the next Dubai.What a golden opportunity. I just wish I had more money to invest. 💩💩💩💩😜😜😜

Good question.....

“He added that "delayed passage will give a negative image of the donor conference," noting that "the International Monetary Fund stipulated that Iraq to pass the budget in exchange for the granting of financial loans .”..... ...so maybe postpone the Kuwaiti conference?....

So is the World Bank going to arrange secured/collateralized loans?.... the only way I see billions of dollars going into Iraq is by issueing the loans against their oil as collateral..... or maybe not even collateral, but rather as a direct pay back arrangement ....( so much worth of oil in return for the investment...).... who in their right mind, at this time, is actually going to “invest “ in Iraq? They’re going to be loans.....

the Iraqi “normal” or status quo seems to be extremely dysfunctional..... no unity, just division and corruption etc..... so sad

The fox guarding the hen house. I’m sure they made a back room deal before they “questioned “ him . What a joke.
