CandyGirl:  As long as they can keep on stealing money from the Government it will keep on going until there is no more money to steal. Unfortunately that’s Iraq and the iraqíes

Briona:  In two months they will run out of money to steal, so things will have to change.

Briona:  Since Iraq will be out of money in two months, I don't see it going any longer than that.

RVALready:   This seems to be a case of the corrupt in Iraq, thinking they could put this RV off again, thinking the world would sit back and be patient again. I think the UN is probably dictating to Salih and parliament exactly what they will do to fix this.

Briona:  This time they are sitting on a hard time limit, so there is no more room for further delays.

RVAlready:  Yes, 209 nations will not be kept waiting, watching Iraq kick the can again. Eventually, people say - enough is enough. With Iraq/Iran, it is way past time…… And, with Coronavirus crashing markets worldwide, folks have less patience than before.

Briona:  Yeah, they seem headed for the brick wall….. You can't kick a can when there is a wall in the way.

Mot: One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was ....................

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

The old woman smiled. "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path and every day while we walk back, you water them.

For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house!"

Each of us has our own unique flaw, but it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

Whitelions   ...this is a country coming back from a long war nothing more and nothing less...it will do what every other country in the world has done coming out of war they will adjust the value according to what their country can back and get it close enough to market value to work in the world...Iraq has assets out the wazoo and needs know other help and can rv into market at a very competitive rate .

BGG   Think about all this for just a sec…They have had several Shia dominated government’s that were corrupt and not getting anything done for anyone but themselves…(Maliki, Abadi and Mahdi).  They were headed for another Shia dominated government with even less accountability than in the past.  1) The protesters didn’t like this guy [Allawi].  2) The Kurds didn’t like him.  3) Sadr didn’t like him.  4) The Iraqi President of the Republic, Barham Salih, very nearly resigned over having to “nominate” him in the first place.  There are is a very good chance we just dodged another bullet with the developments of last Sunday. If he wasn’t the right guy to get this done – he wasn’t the right guy.  Instead of always thinking THIS was some kind of delay…

 If these protests continue and we get a real reformer in there, this could still be a huge win for us… especially with Iran getting “blacklisted” like they are. There will be very little latitude for Iraq to continue doing business with (and selling US Dollars to) a country under such international scrutiny. The end result? Less Iranian influence and not nearly as much need for the CBI / IQD / currency auctions. The ending of these auctions will likely usher in true currency reform in Iraq.
