She explained that the identification process is carried out by the General Department of Criminal Evidence at the Ministry of Interior in Kuwait on the remains that are received from Iraq, so that their owners will join the list of Kuwaiti martyrs whose remains have already been announced.

And the letter continued, "These prisoners were arrested during the brutal Iraqi regime's invasion of the State of Kuwait in 1990, and their remains were received from Iraq among the remains of the martyrs, whose identification had previously been announced in November 2020, January, March and July 2021."

She pointed out that intensive efforts led to identifying the burial sites of martyrs in Iraq, and the technical subcommittee of the Tripartite Committee decided to examine the sites by the Iraqi technical team under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the remains of these prisoners were found, confirming the continuation of the process of identifying the remains and announcing the identity whose remains are to be identified.

The letter commended these prisoners and stated that they "presented heroics and sacrificed themselves for the sake of Kuwait and set a wonderful example of patriotism and redemption and registered their names in the record of honor and heroism after they faced death with courage and valor for the sake of Kuwait and the Kuwaitis."

She stated that Kuwait thanked the Iraqi government, members of the tripartite and technical subcommittees, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations mission to support the efforts of the tripartite and technical subcommittee, which contributed to determining the fate of these prisoners.

The letter expressed its aspiration for an end to this human tragedy as soon as possible, stressing that Kuwait will continue its efforts to determine the fate of all Kuwaiti prisoners and nationals of other countries.  LINK

Frank26  The government of Iraq is talking about the exchange rate.  The Central Bank of Iraq is talking about the budget... shouldn't it be the other way around?  It's not because they are raising the value of their currency...the government of Iraq is interested in the exchange rate for the budget and the CBI is interested in the budget because they need to give them the exchange rate.

Pimpy  Finally...so far it looks like it's over.  The electoral commission has announced its results.  Not very much has changed.  Sadr is still the big dog in charge of everything...Sadr is somewhat similar to Trump.  He's a nationalist...what that means is somebody who believes in and supports his own country before other countries...he wants the United States out of his country because he believes they are occupiers.  This also puts him at ends with Iran ...he doesn't want Iran 's two cents in his country either...Sadr is a hard guy to read.  He could be a good guy or a bad guy.  I'm curious to see what kind of government he is going to establish.  Let's hope Kazemi is a part of it and they can get back on track and continue what they started...

YOUR BANK FUNDS VISIBLE: Proposal for IRS to Review Your Accounts

Dec 1, 2021

This quick headline news is about Biden's Build Back Better Plan. The congressional budget office recently came out on November 18th with their report on whether or not this would be "neutral". In other words, paid for itself. And while Janet Yellen wants you to think, and of course that always happens in a new plan, "yes, this is going to pay for itself. This is even going to make us money". It never does. And we always end up paying for it, probably more than we would realize.

Mot: Yet More Insight into Raising the ""Wee Folks"" -- from Mot of course! ~~~

Mot:  The Little Angel on the Top of the Christmas Tree!........

One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit; this stressed Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out at heaven knows where. More stress.

Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to drink.

In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the coffeepot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made of. Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't it just a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Isn't it just a lovely tree? Where would you like me to stick it?

Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the tree.
