Wow...just wow...seriously not surprised...these circus clowns better realize, if they don't get their act together, their shows going to be over very very soon.

[usndiver]

Lip service from the GOI, easy to provide when your in the Green Zone. This is absolutely sad and dispicable.

[rj2011]

these guys dont really care about there people geez! the goi is making money... sorry big money everyday!

[stillwaters]

The GOI better get the lead out and LEAD or it will be melted down and re-formed.

[akfireball]

sad., just verysad F*** the GOI they will all get what is coming to them in the end. GOD is watching closely.

How can you use the" F***" word and "God" in the same line............?

[katshamm]

Look at my post in the news section. Egypt is celebrating. Iraq has to be rethinking their plans.

[BanG]

What did you guys expect to see? 10yrs of War! It will take awhile to order garbage trucks, firetrucks, ambulances, build hospitals and create local positions as we have here in our towns. Infrastructure TAKES ALONG TIME TO BUILD when your starting from scratch. It is sad to watch but as I said GOI needs to expedite contract for houses and infrastructure, problem is is no one wants to be paid with worthless currency.

sorry you're right. I was just angry is all absolutely unacceptable on my part i do apologize those words dont mix.

[believer2]

I would protest too. It's pitiful because it doesn't have to be that way.

[wildinar]

I agree, this is very sad, I pray the GOI will get to work on this.

On the other hand people need to start helping out and not just setting around waiting for others to do all the work.

This doesn't have to be. Peole of any nation arent meant to live like this.

May GOD BLESS there souls.

[salespro]

OK...they are really saying: RV already!!!!!!

[deenar]

Don't you just want to b**ch slap that fat arse goverment apoligist. The Iraqi people have been hearing "These things take time, we can't give you electricity over night" for years and they are sick of it. These jerks better get er done soon before they are all killed.

[littlesam]

ive been watching the cairo revolution on tv and fox news is saying that this is going to have a domino effect on the whole middle east nations...so with that said if iraqie people are starting to have their revolution its about time but its still scary...cairo had their military backing them, and iraq...well you know..its iraq..but all we can do is watch and pray that this is pushing for things to happen..hope not war...but peace..i like peace..

[Dinar Hope]

When the RV happens, will these people have wealth, and can they fix up the area? Or will they just pick up and move?

Thoughts?

[kevnutz]

18 seconds in to the video, is that a US Dollar in that ladies mouth? Do they use dollars instead of dinars now? If so, that is scary, considering that they are selling dinar for usd at a profit.

My IC's (Iraqi citizens) had rolls of dinar. I tried to buy dinar off them and and no deal. They used dollars for commerce. I left last Sept. They live in absolute squalor.

You know it's bad when they willingly allow foreign journalists to see how they are living.

I am just so thankful that I and my loved ones have not had to walk the streets without shoes, to be able to turn on the AC/Heater when needed, to not go without food or water. It makes me reflect on my very blessed life and it makes me choke up to see people live like this. And the children.... they should not have to worry about basic necessities in life.

And that smug and arrogant politician..."we are working on it", right, sure looked like it, didn't it. The government must be waiting for the poor to bankroll their own needs, since the municipal workers won't come out unless bribed. What a terrible injustice!

Middle east corruption ratings as rated by Transparency International a nonpartisan group that fights corruption, as stated in OC register

Out of 178 countries, Egypt ranked 98 / GDP $6,200 / unemployment 9.7, Iraq 175 /GDP $3,600/ unemployment 15.3 ,

Good for the Iraqi people...Stand up to be heard!!!!! that Democracy in actiion!

HOWEVER...that could be good or bad for us investors.

Good would mean that the GOI would get off their arse and do something for the peoples well being instead of their own political agendas. and hopeful that would fuel the RV...but thats still wishful thinking.

Bad would mean that it would go just the opposite. the GOI would just sit and do nothing...but then again they may loose there job...and have a full blown civil war on their hands. in this case...everything in the government would be at a stand still. Hate to see wot would be come of those people caught in the middle of this.

[jaykay]

The people in Iraq have seen the protest in Egypt were a success. Now the people of Iraq have to be thinking maybe they to can rally together and get what they want..Just a thought???

Great post, just what the GOI needs, a match up their a$$.
