butterfly Professor dinard I find that there is a lot to follow with Iraq. They are finally getting it. AND they are trying to make the right decisions for the citizens and the country.

Professor dinard Just sort of sounds like their news is unreliable and indicators people think will lead to RV never seem to be

Butterfly  Oh I don't post the information for the RV............Iraq is doing a great turn around and I find that totally awesome from what it use to be when I posted many articles.

Professor dinard   Cool, I'm very happy for iraq. Dont think their future will look bright as demand for oil will decrease as the world moves away from fossil fuels

Butterfly  The IMF does not feel Iraq will be, lets say OK.....until 2024. It is a long road ahead for them.
