2-17-2020   Intel Guru RayRen98   Iraqi TV news broadcasting Allawi meeting with the blocs about the vote... stating there will be 302 ministers of the 329 that have agreed to vote. This represents approximately 90% of Parliament.  Allawi has been pushing to get his cabinet passed by making sure he has the votes secured before presenting it to Parliament. It now appears that the vote will be taken on Tuesday or possibly Thursday.

 

12-17-2020   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   There are some signs...that once the new government is in place they will revise the 2020 budget to only cover expenses.  If true, that means the public/private partnership to begin reconstruction will be put on hold until next year.  Guess we will wait and see.


2-17-2020   Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf   Holding on the myth surrounding Kuwait is clutching at straw. The text of the document "The Impact of the Iraqi Invasion on the Kuwaiti Banking and Financial System: Lessons Learned from a Financial Crisis" is encrypted and cannot be copied. On page 3 it states that after the CBK had determined the currency that had been looted, the 3rd issue of the KD was abrogated as legal tender by Amiri decree, in other words it became invalid. A 4th issue was prepared and ready in December 1990. Only those with a legitimate right to be in possession of the 3rd issue were allowed to exchange that for the 4th issue at a value the 3rd issue had before the occupation.
