Militia Man The World Trade Organization is waiting patiently for Iraq’s ability to get certain things stabilized and agreed to. They have some obstacles to get over the World Organization wants them to do. That obstacle is most likely their exchange rate – being Article VIII IMF compliant. That’s going to be a very key component for this to happen.
Frank26 The instructions for the budget, which I say is an exchange rate, a different one, is not in the gazette that is being released…These clowns, parliament committee, they went behind Sudani’s back and they added projects to the budget for themselves…knuckleheads…We were going to do it this week but no you had to put this abuse in it.
