As is known, the Iraqis are used to diversity breakfast table dishes, but this diversity leads to price distortions in markets, in particular, which covers the best citizen request from the Government.

[BondLady] so basically the government is trying to help them kind of and make sure they have a lot of in stock food vegetables fruits meats etc all ration items and in abundance since Ramadan is such a huge month of giving and to be selfless, it sure would be nice of the government of Iraq were to be selfless also and give a rv gift to there people to help them be able to give and what a great gift for the people if they went to buy food an gifts for this Ramadan holiday they could have a greater purchasing power to be able to buy more things and to give more or to just be able to buy period so many there millions and millions have nothing to very little and here we see Iraq now controls all of its oil money the profits as we saw the dfi fund protected by the un released back into the hands of the Iraqis , sure would be nice for them to hurry and pass there hcl this next week as they will meet again to vote on the amendments to the hcl law which allows them to disperse the oil profits to the people who gets what and how much
[BondLady] so as Ramadan approaches just a few weeks away it would be wonderful for them to receive from the government of Iraq what is due them and for the government of Iraq to remember what Ramadan is truly about and means it’s the month of giving the month to be selfless
