jake21 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 This country is a complete joke and all That are in control Abadi, Jubouri, etc., are just as corrupt as the rest. There are reasons why they keep pushing everything off. Think about it; they were asking for 80+ billion so they could stuff their pockets and we're "insulted" when they only got less than half. They will stall as long as They can, they really don't want change 1 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonangler Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Of course they did.... Did any of you actually think they would cross the bridge? Maybe the bridge is too high and they are afraid of heights, or the bridge crosses a river and they can't swim. B/A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.unlikely Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 It must be so embarrassing for Abadi and his crew who are actually trying to get something constructive done. They are like spoiled children who don't get what they want so they whine and cry and won't participate. I say pay for performance. These guys would have earned about 7 cents by now, minus cost of gas and food, yep what I thought, they all owe millions to the government for the free food and gas.

eburt Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 The Kurds seems to be the ones that's always holding things up. Why are they so greedy??? Baghdad is trying to do everything (Adabi) to pass the budget and HCL but because of the Kurbs greed this process keeps dragging - I wish someone can force their hands to do the right thing...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bean Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 This IS a shame. That means they didn't get a chance to vote on 'Law To Make Tumbleweed The Official Iraq Flower' and 'Law To Make Drinking Water Wet'. Hopefully those that DID show up got paid and shared some much needed time around the GOI water cooler. Pathetic fools. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stressed that "we all aspire to achieve more achievements and work to consolidate permanent stability through the preparation of economic and development conditions, and the need to look seriously and realistically to the conditions of citizens and work to improve the living conditions and service them, and the general budget is the most positive factors to achieve it."
