i don't understand why there always seems to be an issue with payment.  if the agreement is 2 fish for $5, how is there room for any dissimulation?  when i give you 2 fishes, you simply return to me $5.  if the kurds delivered their agreed upon amount of oil, why are they not receiving the agreed upon amount of dinars?  i just don't get it....

They do not want to be paid in the worthless dinar. They want to be paid in $$$$. IMO

This goes back thousand of years, especially between the Kurds and the rest of the factions. Not all about the money the more I research. Maliki knew that quite well.
