[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: Many Iraqis feel reforms are too slow and patience is wearing thin especially among the youth and the unemployed population. FRANK: They know purchasing power is coming and been promised them. They know who says to them it’s coming all the time. And they know the one that pulls the trigger doesn’t open his damn mouth except to say, ‘I got no plans in doing anything.‘ OMAR: Television showing foreign contractors, some of them Americans, being attacked at hotels by protesters. Citizens are very upset. They voted on November 11th for Sudani to be the prime minister and he’s still not named. And the citizens are upset at the reforms and the lies. This is going sideways fast… FRANK: …When the smoke clears…everything will be fine.
