Med says to (04:48:29):
I POSTED A VERY GOOD ARTICLE
IN THE FORMING GOVT FORUM
IT SAYS MUCH OF WHAT I WAS SUSPICIOUS OF
WITH THE ELECTED POLITICIANS
AND THOSE RUNNING THINGS
IT IS A VERY GOOD ANALOGY
OF WHY THEY HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS
AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET A DECISION
OR TO FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM
IT WAS PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED ALREADY
ON OUR OWN OPINIONS
PRETTY MUCH TELLS US WE WERE SPOT ON
IRAQ IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE MAJOR MOVES AND CONCESSIONS IN THEIR MINDS
TO RESOLVE CHAPTER VII
BAN KI MOON IS NOT GOING TO GIVE IRAQ A FREE PASS
ON THIS
AND THEM PROCRASTINATING WHILE IT HAS WORKED ON OTHERS
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WILL WORK ON HIM
HE IS A VERY PATIENT MAN
AND I THINK THEY BIT OFF MORE THAN THEY CAN CHEW ON THAT TACTIC WITH HIM
IRAQ HAS MANY DECISIONS
AND SOMEONE WITH A VISION FOR IRAQ
NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS IT
LIKE THE WTO
AND THE IMF MOVING FROM ART XIV TO ART VIII
AND THE MOVE TO BE A PERMANENT MEMBER OF THE GCC
ALL 3 WILL BE A HUGE FEATHER IN THE CAP FOR THE IMPROVEMENT
AND I MEAN RAPID IMPROVEMENT OF THE IRAQI ECONOMY
I AM MIFFED THAT WHEN THEY KNOW THE PLUS'S FAR OUTWEIGH ANY NEGATIVES
THEY HAVE NOT SAID YES TO THEM ALL
AND THERE IS TWO MAJOR LEGISLATION ISSUES
THAT SEEM TO BE JUST FLOUNDERING
THE HCL
AND THE INVESTMENT LAW
IRAQ IS BEGGING FOR INVESTMENT MONEY
BUT TO BE
HOW DO I SAY THIS
OH YES
ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS
THE CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT HAS TO BE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO WANT TO STOP SHORT OF THE BEST POSSIBLE SCENARIO
THERE ARE SO MANY SIMPLE STEPS THEY COULD TAKE
THAT WOULD STOP SO MUCH OF THE ISSUES AT HAND
WE HAVE ALL DISCUSSED THEM FOR 3 YRS NOW
AND FINALLY NOW
OTHERS INSIDE IRAQ ARE FINALLY THROWING THEM OUT AS VIABLE OPTIONS
THE PROBLEM IS MOST ARE NOT IN THE GOVT
OR AFFILIATED WITH BLOCS
THEY ARE THE REALLY MEN AND WOMEN WHO SHOULD BE IN THESE MINISTRIES
NOT POLITICAL APPOINTEES
WHO ARE AT BEST INEPT
AND NOT TRAINED OR EDUCATED IN HANDLING THESE ISSUES
WE HAVE SEEN IN OUR OWN COUNTRY
WITH PRESIDENTS AND THEIR CABINETS
THEY DON'T LOOK AT WHO IS LOYAL JUST TO THEM
BUT WHO CAN HANDLE A GOVT AGENCY
AND HAS THE BACKGROUND IN WORK AND EDUCATION
TO MAKE IT MORE SUCCESSFUL
AND THEN THEY GO BEFORE A CONFIRMATION COMMITTEE
TO BE GRILLED FOR DAYS
AND IT IS USUALLY BIPARTISAN
SO IT IS NOT A FREE PASS TO THE POSITION
IN COMPARING OUR CONGRESSMAN AND SENATORS TO THOSE WHO ARE IN IRAQ
OURS ARE LIKE ROCKET SCIENTISTS
AND IRAQS ARE NOT GOING TO BE MISSED BY NASA AT ALL
SO THAT IS SOME THOUGHTS I HAD ON THINGS AT THE MOMENT
THANKS
ALL DONE
