MuddyRivers: Any news from the sandbox?
Yada: So read this from an article today,,”Nineveh Governor Najm Al-Jubouri announced today, Thursday, the launch of the 1,000 job grades within the Emergency Support Law for Food Security and Development.” 300,000 dinar? Yep the rate has to be released because 300k dinar at the program rate would only equal $207. And these jobs are going to college graduates to work in their government offices
JWill: I really hate saying this but that guy named Walt on the calls may be really disappointed IF our President gives Nuri Al-Maliki the “nod” and he becomes the new PM. I would not be surprised. This has gone on waaayy too long….The former PM is not stupid. He had years of practice in knowing what to do and what not to do to make himself look good. Nothing he does shocks me. Apparently he’s fooled many Iraqis and has gotten away with it.
Yada: jwill, I dont think it will progress for him to take over, They know if they do, the people will riot and those with him would also lose. Also believe Kadzimi will pull the rug out and dissolve parliament along with Admari, along with his 20 people, side with Sadr and protest the vote. There will not be enough to get 2/3rd quorum from the framework
