chattels ERBIL, Kurdistan – Mohammed Tawfik al-Allawi, Iraq’s prime minister designate, is expected to announce his new cabinet in the coming days. The government reshuffle has raised questions over the future of three Kurdish ministers. https://webmail.homesc.com/mail#1

Chattels Informed sources revealed that the Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Allawi is scheduled to visit the Kurdistan region during the next few days to discuss the issue of forming his transitional government.
The sources said that "the two main parties in the Kurdistan Democratic Region and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan confirm the existence of conditions and demands for the Kurds to be presented to Allawi during his visit, the most prominent of which is his commitment to the agreements concluded between the regional government and the federal government on the budget and oil." http://www.alliraqnews.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=86663
chattels One article states that the Kurds will be attending the Munich Conference which would make meetings with Allawi in Kurdistan unlikely.
chattels " ................ the conference that is known as the "Davos" in global security and political issues. This year's MSC will be convened from Friday to Sunday this week" http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-02/10/c_138771645.htm
chattels The Prime Minister's advisor for economic affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed on Monday that he spent more than $ 222 billion on infrastructure projects within nine years without achieving anything serious.
Saleh said in press statements, “From 2003 until 2012, an amount of 222.3 billion dollars was spent on infrastructure, but it was not implemented in a meaningful and beneficial manner.”
He added that "allocating a portion of Iraqi oil exports to China will be in exchange for implementing real projects on the ground," noting that "the majority of the money earned from selling oil goes as allocations for the operational budget that drains funds as salaries without having an investment budget."

Patty chattels Reading the MSC 'Davos' article leads me to believe that they think we are not the powerhouse I think we are. What is the US going to do about that?
chattels Patty The ultimate power to destroy is not the same as influence. Such power can have it's limitations in the near term and with non existential matters.

chattels Patty It is not unlike a parent dealing with a child.
Patty chattels Perception.
chattels Patty ???
Patty chattels (My children delt with me - I really had no control and that's why they turned out so fantastic)
chattels Patty Kahlil Gibran has a wonderful poem about children and parenting.
chattels " Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you."
Clay wow powerful
chattels " You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable."
chattels We are bows in the hand of the Archer. We need only strive to be stable. Thanks be to God !
Patty chattels Amazing. Thank you Chattels.

chattels Looks as though you can buy in in hard cover through Amazon for less than $10. https://www.amazon.com/Prophet-Borzoi-Book-Kahlil-Gibran/dp/0394404289
