There will be many mining companies clammoring for a slice of this big ole pie.

This cat that ran Iraq's National Intelligence Service, who "retired".....he retired alright, straight to a three letter agency interrogation room. If he is not telling these boys EVERYTHING he knows about Maliki and the terrorist network he is running, he is going to be having a lot of bad days and nights.

Tick-tock, boys & girls of parliament. The IMF & World Bank REQUIRE that all the terms for their loans to youz guys be met by June 15th. That is this Wednesday. Pull together and do what is right for the citizens of Iraq. They don't have the luxury of catered meals, ice cold bottled water and air conditioning.

If parliament continues to stall on passing all the held-up legislation, Sadr is going to unleash a nightmare on all these crooks.

Give these folks a few more years & they'll be growing enough sugar cane to not only supply their own needs but the needs of the entire middle east. Iraq has the most fertile soil in the world and was known as the 'breadbasket of the world'.

The gurus are gonna get a helluva lot of mileage out of this one, Thuggie. They're all dancing in the streets.....lmao!

Iran tried this. Russia tried this. Pakistan tried this & a few others. I have learned to 'never say never' but this idea has no wheels and will not occur within the foreseeable future. The entire world revolves around the U.S. dollar & everyone wants some.

Yes, Synopsis, as Ben Frankin was quoted as saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Having spent a great deal of time in intel services, I am acutely aware of staying several moves ahead of those who would do us harm. One of the worst scenarios I could imagine would be for someone to kidnap a family member for the purpose of extortion. Quiet & unassuming is the only way to avoid the attention of those willing to do anything to take what is not theirs.

Thank You, Synopsis, for again firing the warning shot across the bow. The charlatans, confidence men, flim-flam artists or whatever nomenclature they are known by today, WILL BE OUT IN FORCE. Do not let your foreign currencies out of your hands by those promising more than banks and currency exchange dealers. If it sounds too good to be true....run the other way. Have your plan in place. Burn your old cell phone numbers, change your e-mail addresses, completely shut down ALL your social media sites. Buy an identity protection plan. The criminals will be looking for you. They will be trying to find your home and your activity patterns. Stop, Think and Initiate Your Plan.

......yet another pile of defecation from Luigi. USN......this abbreviation stands for United States Navy ....but your paranoid, conspiracy theory loving, knuckle dragging, blue balled friends think it stands for some secret new US currency. You would be a real study, Luigi, for an entire team of psychiatrists.

Here is a strategy that would end DAESH, within a few hours. Take several Apache helos and fit them with agricultural spray booms. Fill the hoppers with hog blood. Have some drones fly over Mosul releasing leaflets in arabic that says: Swine Blood Will Be Raining Down Upon You! All the terrorists will take their sidearms and commit suicide. Problem Solved

Iraq really needs a huge injection of funds in infastructure projects. Parliament : show up for work, pass all the pending laws, start paying the people their fair share of the hydrocarbon profits and enter the world economy with the 'correct' value on your currency.

Babysit The Watermelon....anyone remember that phrase? The press used to include it in news articles back a few moons ago?

I want to drive a crucifix through his chest. A demon like him has no heart.

Very astute perceptions, BostonAngler..... I know that there are some here that have been in this investment longer than I have & we are all weary.....but, I have been feeling that someday soon we will all be rewarded for our tenacity, endurance and perseverance. Blessings to all!

All we need to 'seal the deal' is for our own resident marsupial, Possum, to give us the go ahead to hose down the bosses desk & declare that he and Mama are initiating their Crisco Party .....It's Party Time!

Maliki, like Iran's clergy, hates Saudi Arabia. What they hate is the fact that SA is going to send troops and tons of money to eradicate all these terrorist organizations in Syria and Iran. Syria's Assad will be the next to fall, after Maliki, then Ali Khamenei in Iran. All these terror networks are sponsored by, funded by and originate out of Tehran.

.....pointing out that "the front will be a strong opposition in parliament."
 It appears that at least a third of this 'Reform Front' are rubber stamps for the good ole boys of the State of Law party. The citizens are gonna clear out all these who have stalled reform in Iraq, during the next election cycle.

This law is really gonna crimp the lifestyles of the boys in the State of Law party.

Damn this a**hole.... About time for him to have access to news agencies completely stopped. A nice big fat roll of duct tape would be a great 1st. move.

Yep...... it's looking like these lifelong career thieves in Iraq are a little slow on getting the gest of Abaidi's mantra, "where did you get this." Hopefully, Abaidi can get all the prisons cleared of all the innocent that Maliki threw in there & make room for all the real despots.

Luigi, You are gonna hit that NEGATIVE 1000 by the end of June. I think I can speak for the majority of us. We have faith that you will meet that goal.

If the criminals in Parliament have any doubts as to whether the citizens are serious about installing TECHNOCRATS in all the departments of government, they had better pay close attention this Friday. The people want professional people with credentials and NO POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATIONS, running Iraq. They want professionals who have college degrees making certain that Iraq prospers in the international arena. These poor and destitute folks really have nothing left to lose besides their lives.....& they are now willing to lose that, if need be, to assure a better life for their children. I have a gut feeling that by Friday, some important LAWS are going to be passed.
