chattels   When the official facebook page of Iraqi Ministry of Health re-published Sadr's tweets on his "instructions" for doctors & other on Covid-19, you get a sense of how dysfunctional & shaky the health institution is. https://twitter.com/M_Balsam/status/1238545306821824513

chattels   The word dysfunctional applies to most everything in Iraq.

chattels   Given the situation, a few words on the current Iraqi Health Minister, Jaafar Allawi, are worthwhile. #InsideIraqiPolitics subscribers will note that we covered his election last October in No. 203/10-11. His nomination was surprising as he had lived outside Iraq since 1972.

chattels   Dr. Allawi - a relative of Iyad Allawi, but not a member of his party - is an endocrinoligist, and apparently a fairly distinguished one.

chattels   I tried looking up his bio on the ministry's website, but it turns out that the Iraqi Health Ministry's website isn't working (at least I can't get it to come up). Maybe this is why they are dependent on Facebook. Not encouraging. https://moh.gov.iq

chattels   How the U.S. Can Stop the Surge of Deadly Rocket Attacks in Iraq

Americans in Iraq are being killed by Islamic State terrorists and government-backed Shiite militias. Is there a better response than more missile strikes? https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/03/13/iraq-airstrikes-shiite-militias-islamic-state-128210

biff   Them missiles are a timer. Once the launcher is set up on the vehicle or ground they set the timers and leave the area

chattels   " ............. the U.S. should toughen its mindset, quietly bringing the force protection assets into Iraq that it needs (i.e., Patriot missiles and anti-rocket close-in defenses) without further consultation with an Iraqi government that would rather adopt a “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach.

And finally, the U.S. should let the militias keep over-reaching, keep showing their hand as would-be dictators under Iran’s control, while the U.S.-led coalition keeps helping Iraq to defeat the Islamic State. This is a game we can win."

biff   Durning the war they would ice in the tube. Once the ice melts the primer hits the firing pin the missile launched

http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2020/03/as-talk-of-expelling-us-forces-from.html

chattels   Retired Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi informed the Americans that Baghdad wanted them to withdraw, but then nothing happened. That was because the government fell into crisis over its inability to select a new premier to replace Abdul Mahdi.

With nothing happening on the political front Tehran might have authorized its allies to move back to the use of force to harass Washington. That would mean Iran and its friends are undeterred by American retaliation and these types of incidents could continue for the foreseeable future.

chattels   2020: IRAQ’S PERFECT STORM

Posted by Iraqi Thoughts | Mar 2, 2020 | https://1001iraqithoughts.com/2020/03/02/2020-iraqs-perfect-storm/

chattels   The continued protests, coupled with the lack of leadership and the looming economic crisis make for a perfect storm in Iraq as it approaches the searing heat of its summers. The political elite need to think about the next four to six months and work towards solutions to the above-mentioned problems.

Otherwise they could see themselves as the former political elite of the country as Iraq descends into further instability and greater chaos.

chattels   A change in the political elite may be the cure for what ails Iraq, but it will be very messy for awhile.

sandyf   @Kaperoni sandyf As for floating the currency, it is the natural progression to get off the peg once the create the conditions for a private sector/market economy.

"getting off the peg" is not a natural progression for an emerging economy, it is a desperation measure used by countries in trouble. If it was a natural progression, Kuwait would have done it years ago.

I would certainly agree that there will be no overnight RV and any redenomination would be at least 2 years away.
