I was amazed.
eman4u55 says(6:45 PM):
lol
BGG says(6:45 PM):
we'll do more of those... I posted that one on both THE BLOG and THE OBSERVER.
I don't recall who was the first to share it - but a few of our people did.
Cabinet declares its non-stop government appointments
BAGHDAD - Iraq Press - December 18: Secretary General of the Council of Ministers announced the agency Mahdi Keywords not stopped government appointments . Keywords and said in the book, I got / Iraq - Presse / a copy of it, " The Council of Ministers decided in its session usual forty - ninth session held on 13.12.2016, as follows: non - stop appointments in ministries and government agencies all of 2016, and the adoption of all the records of the ministry validated by the competent minister until the date of 31.12.2016 , and the Ministry of Finance to complete all the procedures , including deletion and development. "
BGG says(6:55 PM):
I tend to agree with Pat on this one - some are inferring the use of "Keywords" in this piece and the sentence...
daytrader says to BGG(6:56 PM):
Comment
MrsBGG says to daytrader(6:56 PM):
just a second...
BGG says(6:56 PM):
...the Ministry of Finance to complete all the procedures , including deletion and development."
SRW says to daytrader(6:57 PM):
?
BGG says(6:57 PM):
towards the end means something. It probably does - but maybe not as directly tied to financial reform as is being made out. I am suspicious.
MrsBGG says to daytrader(6:57 PM):
Go
daytrader says to BGG(6:58 PM):
Covered my comment
BGG says(6:58 PM):
daytrader says to BGG(6:58 PM):

SRW says to BGG(6:58 PM):
?
MrsBGG says to SRW(6:58 PM):
just a minute...
BGG says(7:01 PM):
"Keywords" doesn't always mean Alak - but when it's in relation to the CBI and announcements by the CBI - it probably means "The main speaker" or The Spokesperson" (in this case)... it probably does mean - Alak.
MrsBGG says to SRW(7:02 PM):
GO
SRW says to BGG(7:02 PM):
Who is the Minister of Finance? Abadi?
BGG says(7:02 PM):
I'm not sure - is he doing that job "by proxy" right now??
The chubby guy (from Kurdistan) got fired.
daytrader says to BGG(7:03 PM):
Abadi signed the last LOI as "acting Minister of Finance"
SRW says to daytrader(7:04 PM):
Yes sir..
MrsBGG says to david334(7:04 PM):

david334 says(7:04 PM):
Is their likely to be a function cabinet ant time soon?
david334 says(7:05 PM):
functioning
BGG says to david334(7:05 PM):
at the risk of being over-simplistic... sounds like it to me?
david334 says(7:06 PM):
This process started six months ago then abruptly hit the polital black hole
BGG says to david334(7:06 PM):
Abadi has been saying they would have Mosul liberated much sooner than projected.
MadDScout says(7:06 PM):
Comment
BGG says to david334(7:07 PM):
and now they are saying he'll have cabinet and ministers seated soon.
BGG says to MadDScout(7:07 PM):
Go.
MadDScout says(7:07 PM):
It (cabinet) functions now, but they are looking to seat ministers after they get off break
BGG says to MadDScout(7:07 PM):
My thoughts exactly.
david334 says(7:07 PM):

MadDScout says to 7shelia(7:10 PM):
My pleasure
BGG says(7:10 PM):
1bobby (Dinar Guru) - Article: "Member of the Finance Parliamentary: 2017 Moismh positive cause to activate the financial realities and the private sector" ACTIVATE ACTIVATE ACTIVATE the Private Sector! Once again that phrase dominates the publishing of the 2017 budget. How could we not be excited about this budget? Too many people out there saying "Big deal, just another budget" Seriously?
coco1 says(7:11 PM):
Perhaps the word "deletion" in that statment refers to replacing Zebari, finalizing that effort.
BGG says to coco1(7:11 PM):
I'm just not sure - the context of the article seems to lead that way - but... this is Iraq. It could mean almost anything.
MadDScout says to coco1(7:11 PM):
I would say no
MadDScout says(7:12 PM):
Zebari is not a financial "procedure"
david334 says(7:12 PM):
?
coco1 says(7:12 PM):
I'm trying to think of other meanings than the one most of us automatically think of when we see "deletion."
MrsBGG says to david334(7:12 PM):
Go
david334 says(7:13 PM):
We see lots of skimishs concerning oil companies , contractors pensions and salaries etc etc all revolving around a lot of funding

Bad alalogy but the various constituants seem to be getting restless
MadDScout says to BGG(7:16 PM):

BGG says to david334(7:17 PM):
That seems true enough - lots of forward velocity.
forward momentum.
MadDScout says to david334(7:17 PM):
They have "demonstrated" in a civil way according to the ministry press statement
BGG says to MadDScout(7:17 PM):
Yes.
MadDScout says to david334(7:17 PM):
And are being addressed

Mr. Ammar al-Hakim: national settlement strategic project will be launched after the liberation of Mosul
{Baghdad: Euphrates News} The head of the National Alliance, Mr. Ammar al-Hakim on Saturday that the national reconciliation project "strategically to maintain the unity of Iraq."...
MadDScout says to david334(7:19 PM):
We showed a report the other night that gave the number addressed and still to be addressed
MadDScout says to BGG(7:19 PM):
sorry
BGG says(7:19 PM):
A statement by the office of the President of the National Alliance, said that al - Hakim, said in the office of Baghdad , leaders and young activists, said the national settlement of a strategic project to preserve the unity of Iraq and meat people is necessary to stop the bloodshed
The new head of the National Alliance, according to the statement, confirmed that the settlement project, did not include murderers and criminals and stained their hands with the blood of Iraqis noting that " the timing of the launch will be after the liberation of Mosul Conception Aldaasha terrorism."
BGG says to MadDScout(7:19 PM):
All good bro!!
BGG says(7:19 PM):
He stressed " the need to take young people , who make up 90% of the Iraqi people of their role in educating people, each from his position on the importance of harmony to the Iraqi society .
BGG says(7:20 PM):
My first reaction to this was... WHY WAIT Hakim??
MadDScout says(7:20 PM):
National Unity Program (y)
BGG says(7:20 PM):
but shortly - the timing won't matter - it's all about the same anyway.
beginning in 2017 - THE BEGINNING OF 2017
MadDScout says(7:20 PM):
They had 10 villages left yesterday
In Mosul to clear out
10
coco1 says(7:21 PM):
>
coco1 says(7:21 PM):
?
BGG says(7:22 PM):
I don't think Mosul per se - is the key... however, IMF and UN really dislike this racist, religious genocide that's been going on. They want it OVER. NOW.
MrsBGG says to coco1(7:22 PM):
GO
coco1 says(7:22 PM):
What about the center of Mosul, last I heard was they were still clearing out the East Side, have you seen any news that is done?
BGG says(7:23 PM):
I have - but I don't believe it - I posted two conflicting articles on the subject at the bottom of THE BLOG today.
BGG says(7:23 PM):
(wasn't planning on covering that )
MadDScout says to coco1(7:23 PM):
This report about the 10 are the ones left in the east
BGG says to david334(7:23 PM):
Go.
david334 says(7:24 PM):
Is the massacares and genocide ISIS or the Iraqi Special ops
BGG says to david334(7:24 PM):
Mostly the first - but a little of the second as well. That is the part Abadi and Hakim will have to deal with...
coco1 says(7:24 PM):
I meant inside the city limits, not outlying villages.
david334 says to BGG(7:25 PM):
Thanks
BGG says(7:25 PM):
You know I forgot to post this bit of info... (I'll have to go find it for later - )
Maliki asked Abadi to send Special Forces to "punish" the protesters who attacked him the other day.
Abadi said "NO".
david334 says to BGG(7:26 PM):
Yeah
MadDScout says(7:26 PM):

BGG says(7:27 PM):
BGG (Dinar Guru) - "Ministerial council looking reinforcement provided by NATO to support Iraq contracts" NATO support... [They have come a long way in terms of professionalism and quality of individual...] They want "International acceptance" and support - this is exactly how they get it. ...they are on the road to restoration. Let's hope sooner than later. All indicators seem to point to something being "up"...
BGG says(7:27 PM):
(that was a way old comment by me - how hard are these guys trying to find stuff to post )
david334 says(7:28 PM):
it has a nice soothing ring to it.
BGG says(7:29 PM):
In fact, brings me to a point - on THE OBSERVER... it is unlikely I agree with every post on there, BUT I have to work really hard to find posts that aren't by Gurus who are bat $h!T CRAZY!!
lately I'm lucky if I can get 2 or 3 new posts a day by someone NOT DROOLING ON THEIR KEYBOARD.
the rest of it is just junk.
daytrader says to BGG(7:30 PM):
Would guess they're looking for sage comments as well.
jeffusa says to BGG(7:31 PM):
I don't drool... I slobber
david334 says to BGG(7:31 PM):
they are looking for both chheks to identifiy where their AXX are
david334 says to BGG(7:31 PM):
Cheeks
BGG says to daytrader(7:32 PM):
they had to dig for that one - it was a while back
We're gonna' to another FB LIVE around Monday - and maybe another Round Table Call on Tuesday. Hope you can all join us.
daytrader says to BGG(7:33 PM):
So that says the current idioms from the Guru set doesn't qualify
aminmaine says(7:33 PM):
yay!
david334 says to BGG(7:33 PM):
Good news thanks
daytrader says to BGG(7:33 PM):
(y)
BGG says(7:34 PM):
I you haven't listen to the FB LIVE - go to THE BLOG, click on the link - have a listen. LOTS of questions there. Good stuff (from the people).
Hi BBG! I loved your new FB live feed video! You guys are the best! Keep up with the good work!
May I also ask you a question? Like you, I doubt the IQD will RV at top dollar out of the gate but would you expect to see it climb as time goes on? If so, would you expect to see that take a few years or many?
Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
