I sell cars..and I have the "grace" of dealing with people from the ME alot. Even after a consensus on price(normally their bottom line and not ours ), they will want to have a few more things added to make it better.

I have a landscape business in So Cal and I must say you are absolutely correct. They almost always want something extra after the price is agreed upon.

Great article. 2nd reading tomorrow. Sounds like a move in the right direction. The Kurds are shooting for the stars but will take the moon. They will hold out until they feel they have squeezed the last bit of juice from the GOI. Good for them. They are smart business people. The thing that caught my eye was that there will be a 2nd reading and then a vote? What about the third reading? Am I missing something? Either way, progress of any kind in any amount is a very good thing.

GO IRAQ!!!
