Of course maybe that's what the back of that giant CBI building looks like, I could be wrong I agree, Mr. Unlikely. Looks like the 4th/5th floors of some apartment complex units. Maybe (I'm thinking maybe), Maliki still has some control of various news media outlets and the article is a flyer to distract from some other act in progress (Maliki or someone(s) else is doing) that may or may not be related to the CBI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Image Courtesy of ZHA Zaha Hadid has been selected to design the new Iraqi Parliament building in Baghdad. The controversial decision comes after London-based Assemblage was crowned as winner of a RIBA-led competition for the building, which place Hadid’s proposal third. Though a dispute began once the competition’s client sparked conversations with Hadid after the winning firm was named, the client stated that competition rules allow for any shortlisted design proposal to be ultimately chosen for construction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synopsis Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 In the middle of the river in the nice picture, it looks like there is a green arrow pointing upstream (toward Kurdistan?). Pretty sure this is a reminder to the GOI Parliamentarians of where they are to direct all of the provisions of Article 140, the HCL, and any other agreements (to Kurdistan). Hehehe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
