But now they are taking 6 WEEKS OFF!!!!  WHERE DO THEY FIND THE TIME FOR WORK!!!!  ALL THIS VACATION TIME MUST BE EXHAUSTING.... SMDH

They are not having their daily sessions.  But if a PM is nominated or when the budget needs to be approved, they will assemble to take care of that.  So its just a hiatus from daily sessions.

Doesn't the caretaker government end on the 15th or 16th?

Let's just say this idiot is reinstated, which we really don't want.  The budget is ready to be approved and voted on.  All we need this idiot to do is send the budget.  The budget has the reforms and is calculated with the new rate.  They will have democratic elections to vote in a new regime.  All we need them to have is a government so the budget can be sent.

This is all over the news on TV, but all I can think of was when Obama said Bin Laden was killed,

and then immediately had him buried at sea.   I was always suspicious of that.

I hope they have some proof of Solemani's death.

 

I saw a new article with a picture posted of his hand with a ring and that he was identified by the ring on his hand.

Just a thought , but with the fog of war or rumors of it, it might be a good time for Iraq to RV.... strengthen themselves against Iran and a good cover for when it happens. Everyone in media will be focused on Iran war not Iraq monetary situation. Who knows..... so unpredictable in that part of the world. @Artitech 100% agree

Great cover and misdirection to slip the RV in

[Announcement of the largest bloc]

They said Iraq has 3 months to for the government.  Trump's envoy will be coming to announce the PM and create a pathway for the government, and Iraq news sources are saying this will greatly expedite the process.  Let's hope Trump is intervening because he wants to start the RV, which he has mentioned as recent as 2017 will be happening.
