ScubaSteve70: All IMO of course...But I am remembering notes taken during last night CC.
1) PM
2) A Rate
3) Budget
Budget needs the rate...So is this why they will have to "rearrange" before voting?
I am loving the enthusiasm that each article is bringing today!!
KTFA, Frank, Tink, Delta, WalkingStick..THANK YOU, I don't know where I would be in this investment if it weren't for your diligence. I am forever grateful. You will all forever be in my prayers. Thank you.

Sawco: Good morning, all...……...If I have learned anything about our study,,, it's that Frank and WS have been spot on, with respect to the articles we read on our forum... By that, I mean many are completely contradictory.....
As Frank and WS have said, "many of what you read coming from Iraq,, is not true, and fake news"....Case in point,,, post 54 says that Allawi will bring his cabinet to parliament tomorrow (Wednesday),, yet post 131 states TWO different comments: One,, Allawi will bring his cabinet to parliament by Thursday,, and yet later in the same article,, it states, Two: Allawi will bring his cabinet to parliament in the next five days.. Other articles also talk about: either late this week, or early next week...…….
In conclusion,,, listen to Frank and WS,,, not some of this contradicting news that comes out of Iraq...Much of it comes from Maliki's newspapers (that he owns)………..Of course, all of the above is Blessings family...…….
P.S. I'm sticking with Frank,,who,, if I understand what he has said,, "look for an RI by the end of this month"... Lord knows I could have misunderstand his thoughts,, but I pray he Is correct...………...Again,,Blessings family...……..
Walkingstick: All else, aside.. The very reason Iraqis are more dependent on social media versus local media... Knowing, most local media outlets are partisan... Owned and or influenced by influential parties or persons... Regards...
