This always happens with Iraq news . They talk about it, but nothing really happens . It would be great to read a news post that stated they talked, and they voted with an agreement!

Hammer,

In the 20 page UN document on the Rule of Law agenda next week. Transparency is a major requirement for member nations in regards to Human Rights. This is to help ensure that corruption in government is not undermining the peace and security goals of the UN. If DV members will take the time and read the UN document they can then ask themselves "If" Iraq is even ready for full release from Chapt 7 ? IMO they are not even close! Unless the media has been so controlled by the GOI that Iraq is much farther along than any of us know. I suppose that it is possible in order to protect the economy of Iraq from speculators, but I don't think so...IMO

For real, it's always talk and nothing passed and established.

I agree, they won't be released from Ch. 7 yet, 'making nice' with Kuwait isn't going to be enough for them to be approved, imo.
