Thanks Yota for the article, helps people to understand a great deal.

Well, last year at this time, most of what we were hearing was about Ch 7 (hopes for release and here we still are), and Erbil, based on most of the news articles that were coming out. Many of us thought (although we knew there were other conditions which needed to be have been met as well), that these were the two main lynch pins for the RV.

As gregp has so well pinpointed; it's now down to the dough, approving the budget. Now that the Kurds and/or Sunni's feel, ahem, "slighted" (and IMO they have every right to) - they don't want to play nicey-nice in parliament, soooo......we'll see about the budget. My fingers are crossed.

Are you sure those numbers are correct?

The only things I'm sure of are taxes and death...lol.

Here's a discussion by Stryker and Bond Lady on the subject. You can view this chat on bond lady's site.

"hi jeep great to see u hun, each ministry was supposed to complete at least 75% of their projects that were in the 2012 budgets, the ministers who dont want iraq to succeed or only want to bring down the gov, many won't do their projects or do very little, and they were required to complete at least 75%, so if they didn't they're up for review...imo... some ministers got their money for their projects late also, and delayed them from achieving there goals...hope that helps...BL

Stryker wrote;

Bondlady, bravo! You hit the nail on the head with this one. Thank you!

This is also why the Iraq Kurdish region is so far ahead of the rest of Iraq too, they get their projects completed and pass their budgets in time despite the Federal Budget delays. They also get projects started on time, to the point the Federal owes them back payments almost of the time."

Thanks to Stryker and Bondlady.

First off, I thank you all for your insights and opinions.

Second, I don't see any links to these articles.

Third, These are articles, not edicts from the UN or any other credible source of information AND we all know M's a dictator. The big picture cannot be minimized as result of these articles. As we all know, there's so many pieces of the puzzle that play into this investment. If the PTB want Iraq to RV, it will. M can't control that single-handedly. JMHO.

We've seen a lot of great progress this past year. I would urge you all to stay focused on that.

Do I think we'll see an RV first of January, nope, I don't.

Am I a guru..NO WAY. I, like you, analyze news and governmental documents and press releases all day, almost every day too. This is just the news of the day today. Tomorrow it will be something different. We're still moving forward. This is just another piece of the puzzle, which, we don't know is true or not (a lot of "opinion" in the news pieces/articles I read on this thread).
