Look at Saudi, they are doing quite well on an oil only based economy and have been for at least the past 50 years. Just sayin' ..................... Semper Fi

And you wish that you got PAID for the time OFF ...................... Just sayin' ............................. Semper Fi

Just proves you are on the right track and ruffled a few feathers. Consider it a bonus point ................ Just sayin' ........................ RV there yet ?

Just another example of Big Government trying to Dictate REALITY on the citizens !!! ........................ I'll CONSIDER an EV when O'Bidens/Brandon's jet runs on battery's ..................... Just Sayin' .....................

Bump to the top ... Still the same stupid blah, blah, blah stuff, not relevant to the current situation ......................... Just sayin'.................... Semper Fi

In my opinion; The above article is SMOKE and total ............... A poor attempt to present a Red Herring ............... Just sayin" ................ Semper Fi

You need to apply for a job with the DNC or the O'Brandon Administration as a Speech / Propaganda writer. I assume they will make a spot available for you .................... Cheers and Happy Trails .............

I'm not seeing it on the Forex yet - still 1310 + or - Just sayin' ............. Semper Fi

As I have mentioned prior, The CBI could stop this NOW, if they REALLY, REALLY wanted to ........................... The obvious conclusion is that the CBI doesn't want to stop the flow of the $US out of Iraq ........ The Iranian ATM that operates in Iraq for $US, continues despite the flaccid "US Treasury" restrictions.................. The simple and obvious solution would be to make the IQD more valuable than $USD if the CBI REALLY, REALLY wanted a strong IQD. .................. But the real question lies with the CBI ..... Do they REALLY want a strong IQD or do they want to continue being the Iranian ATM for the $US ??? .................. Just stating the obvious ........................ Semper Fi

So it's all done (the 2023,24,25 budget) and approved, ready to print to make it official ? just askin' .......................

So, everything has been voted on and thus approved with the exception of a paragraph in Article 15 ?? Any ideas as to when the HCL - "gas and oil law" hits the floor to be voted on ? They are on a roll, why stop now ?? Just askin' ............................

I hope someone had the insight to close the Cafeteria and lock the doors ............... RV there yet ? ..

That may very well be true .......... They will argue about stupid stuff, just to argue !!! ........ .Somewhere down around the 22nd link of the chromosome chain, is my guess as to the origin ............... 7th century political tribalism at its best .............. The local politicians that are making the more noise, have the least amount of decision making power and the most to lose in this budget ...... IMHO .................. Keep an eye on the International political influence. These guys may think they are driving the decision making process but probably not ........................ Big turban, no camels .................. Just sayin' .......................... RV there yet ................ Semper Fi

My opinion only; I think the "oil and gas law" deal is done, just too many articles indicating so and it's just has not been announced. The reason being, very simply put; The revenue / income from the "oil and gas law" is included in the budget package for 2023,2024 +2025. If they didn't have a handle on the "oil and gas law" revenue stream a 3 year budget package would leave too many items wide open. Just sayin' ....................... Semper Fi

The CBI could shut this whole thing The CBI could shut this whole thing down @ any time if they wanted to .............. They don't want to 'cuz it serves their (CBI) interest thus keeping the Iranian ATM in motion .......................... Just sayin' ...............................

Don't forget, there is still a potential Lawsuit, after the vote and thus a "take it to the Supreme Court" card to play. ............ Hopefully not, but you never know with these guys .................. Drama Iraqi style .................. Just sayin' ................. Semper Fi

So that's 11:00pm West Coast time Wednesday night .............................. I've / we've heard it too many times in the past with no results. Just a wee bit skeptical at this point but, I hope they perform this time and this leads to the RV of the currency. Semper Fi

But wait, they haven't played the "Lack of Quorum" card yet ............. And they still have the "throw the shoe" event to complete ......................... And then they still have the "bring your camel to work day" event .......................... And then it's the "pin the tail on donkey" event (code for blame the other guy) .................. Just tryin' to stay on the positive side of this circus .............. Semper Fi

Exactly, I agree .............................. Semper Fi

Always kicking the can down the road, eh screwball ...................................

But they promised and swore that Tuesday June 7th @ 1:00pm/13:00 Bagdad time, the vote on the budget would occur, no question, no obstruction, done deal !! .......... I guess it's all again ...................... Looks like they cried Wolf once again, just as in so many times before. Just laughing at the greed of the 7th century tribal, political mentality in Iraq .................

I'm not defending Frankie by any stretch of anyone's imagination, but from an economic perspective the $1.50 is not unrealistic, in my opinion. They have shown the assets and natural resources to make this number possible. Just sayin' .............. Semper Fi

I don't remember hearing of collecting signatures for the purpose of determining a date for a budget vote. Personally, I think this is a Red Herring. Most of the recent articles are presented by minority groups that are not getting exactly what they want in the budget and thus all the squawking. In addition, Nour Al Maliki and his crew (pro Iranian) seem to be driving the budget bus. I think, I hear a Wolf calling in the background, not sure but kinda' sounds like it ................... Just sayin' .................... Semper Fi

These guys have cried "Wolf" so many times in the past, that it is hard, if not impossible, to believe anything they say or print regarding passage of the budget. 1st the budget was to be voted on after Ramadan, then numerous dates in May, and then consistently "by the end of May" and now, by the end of the parliamentary session or is it by June 9th or is it next Tuesday or within the next 10 days ? I honestly hope and pray that next Tuesday is true and accurate. It's time for this cowboy to find a new pony to ride. Semper Fi

If true, then we are all in a world of hurt. The US treasury couldn't coordinate a good bowel movement, even if they had all the EX Lax in DC.... IMHO .... Just sayin' .......................... Semper Fi
