On a serious note. If it is true that the stand by agreement will not be re-newed and runs out on the 23rd and after 10 years they still can not pull it together. Then they deserve to fail and sprial into chaos.. They have draged this out and beat a dead horse for so long they get exactly what they deserve...

Just to clarify........ What your saying is you “seriously” believe “they deserve to fail and spiral into chaos” at present because they need to be on your time frame to get this done so you can cash in. The thought of them trying to work out issues of becoming a democratic nation after being under the leadership of a dictator and living in poverty has no matter to you. Therefore “they get exactly what they deserve”. They do not deserve to live a life as you do now? Your life now is what they are shooting for and they have one chance to get it right! Sure most of what we see is corupt politicians and greed, but the laws we see getting passed and things happening will someday help all of Iraq. Just food for thought and I like you have expressed my 2 cents!

No Gamaray your clairifacation is completely wrong and out of line. You sir are assuming things you should not assume. I sincerely hope you are not trying to twist things around or put words in my mouth I never said or intended to say just so you can voice your personal agenda or, making such statements because you have nothing better to do than start an argument for you own personal ammusement......  This has nothing to do with my so called cash in. When stating "they"  get exactly what they deserve is in reference to the  leaders of Iraq. The statement made by me is in reference to the lack of leadership childish nonsense and refusal to show up an vote and basicly refusing to do their job. When they (the leaders of Iraq) are more concerned about being corupt and greedy then they are about taking care of the country and getting the country moving forward. YES THEY DESERVE TO FAIL!  Let me say it again Yes they(the leaders of Iraq) deserve to fail. The people of Iraq the citizens who are living in poverty who are living in filth who are living with out health care who are starving do not deserve to be lead by liars cheats and theives. The people of Iraq deserve better leadership.

When leaders of a country have 10 years to accomplish a goal and can not get that goal accomplished due to childish nonsense, coruption and. a laundry list of other illegal acts,then the leaders should get what they deserve. Let us not forget the leaders of Iraq are not living in poverty they are not wanting for anything. They just want what is best for their pocket not the citizens of Iraq,

Please also let me remind you that the IMF wants to use Iraq as a "Donor Country and help prop up banks through out the EU" as quoted in some older articles. This is about getting a global economy moving forward. Not my cash in. If this leadership of Iraq can not get the job done they need to be removed and replaced with people who can PERIOD! that is what my statement was about.

Did we expect anything different coming from the Iraqi parliment.

Oh btw I'm not enjoying this new format............yet

[powerpager]

How many delays/Thurdays does it take for these nutheads to put a vote on this budget? (1) Corrupted Maliki!

[dontlop]

lol    how many times has something been delayed till thursady ..  so everything is still moving forward as usual

[NWGUY]

Frustrating bunch of people. Every week, it is the same thing, vote on it on Tuesday, and postpone until Thursday, just to postpone to next week, and merry-go-round, continues to spin.

I can wait until whenever, but gosh....these people are rediculous! No way to run a country!

Like the buzzards circling over the carcus....we wait!!!

Go RV or RI !!!

[countryroads]

I remember from history when the Parliament of England was doing about the same thing that the Iraqi Parliament is doing right now. However England had Oliver Cromwell who threw out the members of Parliament and ran the government himself. Maybe this is what will eventually happen to Iraq. If they continue as they are, they may end up with another "Sadam" in power. Then NOBODY wins.

They can pass or not pass all they want, just get to the end game and RVRVRVRVRV.   Just a bit tired of hearing about the budget.  If you get down to it, they can have 3 or 4, and which one are they passing.   Just all the noise on the budget is making my head spin.

I agree. The GOI has had plenty of time and the support of American taxpayers to get it together. Iraq trades with our currency. How long can that continue? I would think that the GOI would prefer their own currency over the currency of the infidels.

Maybe the ("we") infidels should tell them not to RV and then they would rush to do it
