MEDS CHAT 05-31-2011 at 7:08 am CST

Med says to (07:08:02):
GM
SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM

Brewbaby says (07:08:07):
GM MED

lawlesslucy says to (07:08:08):
i understand

Roadrunner says to (07:08:11):
be patient good peeps, we are still on track, another bump in the road does not mean we have stopped forward motion

Med says to (07:08:14):
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM

GOP says to (07:08:17):
Hey med

Brewbaby says (07:08:17):
No problem, just talking about being down

Med says to (07:08:19):
HEY

Roadrunner says to (07:08:21):
GM Med

Med says to (07:08:22):
NO NEED

dinarfrank says to (07:08:25):
Good morning

Med says to (07:08:30):
GM FRANK

Med says to (07:08:31):
AND ALL

russell says to (07:08:41):
gm med

Med says to (07:08:41):
IT IS AN INVESTMENT
GEEZ
THERE ARE RISKS

Brewbaby says (07:08:51):
I think also everyone misses you coming on in the morning with your chats

Med says to (07:08:53):
AND NO GUARANTEES

Roadrunner says to (07:09:00):
opportunity of a lifetime

Med says to (07:09:01):
I AM SORRY
IT IS RR
AND I AM NOT BUMMED ABOUT IT

Brewbaby says (07:09:17):
don't be sorry, you deserve to have fun as well as anyone

Med says to (07:09:18):
ONE THING
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING
IT WAS NOT ABOUT THE DINAR
MY HEALTH WAS TERRIBLE
AND I MEAN BAD
I KNEW OF ONLY ONE WAY TO GET MY ACT BACK ON TRACK
AND THAT WAS TO GO BACK TO WHAT MADE ME THE TOUGH PERSON I WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
AND IT HAS WORKED WONDERS

Brewbaby says (07:10:35):
Great!

Med says to (07:10:40):
BEFORE I COULDN'T EVEN WALK AROUND MY BLOCK
I WAS IN PAIN EVERYDAY
AND JUST GAINING WEIGHT
NOW I GET UP AT 5AM
AND I AM WALKING THE CAMPGROUND
AND CUTTING AND SPLITTING WOOD
I HAD LOST ALL INTEREST IN EVERYTHING I USED TO LOVE
I HAVE FISHED MORE
IN THE LAST 16 DAYS
THAN IN THE LAST 25 YRS

Brewbaby says (07:11:56):
feels good doesn't it?

Med says to (07:11:59):
YES
AND ONE THING
I KNEW THAT UNLESS AN EMERGENCY MEETING
WAS HELD IN PARLIAMENT
THEN I HAD TILL THE 12TH
OF JUNE FOR THEM TO MOVE

Roadrunner says to (07:12:39):
yep

Med says to (07:12:45):
I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ONE
HONESTLY
AS I FIGURED
THE NEGOTIATIONS FELL THROUGH
BETWEEN THE LIST AND NA
MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THE NA WANTS MORE CONCESSIONS FROM THE LIST
THE NA WANTS TO KEEP POWER
AND WHAT WAS NEGOITATED DOES NOT GIVE THEM COMPLETE POWER
AND WE HAVE SEEN THE ATTITUDES HERE

Brewbaby says (07:14:15):
They do not want a partnership

Med says to (07:14:35):
IT IS NOT ABOUT THEM THINKING THEY HAVE THE BEST OPTIONS FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE
NOT ONE BIT
NOT LIKE HERE IN THE U.S.
WHERE WE SEE THE DEMS AND GOP
BOTH SAYING THIS IS MY PLAN
THIS IS HOW WE GET AMERICA BACK ON TRACK
HAS ANYONE SEEN MALIKI COME OUT AND SAY
THIS IS WHAT I AM GOING TO DO FOR YOU
THIS IS MY PLAN

Brewbaby says (07:15:39):
nope

Med says to (07:15:44):
NOW IN THE ELECTIONS

Roadrunner says to (07:15:46):
Maliki is about Maliki only

Med says to (07:15:53):
ALLAWI HAD A PLAN
AND FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
BUT WE KNOW THE DEAL ON WHY IT IS NOT IN PLACE
NOW SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE I AM RIGHT
THERE WILL NOT BE AN RV UNTIL
THE REST OF THE GOVT IS IN PLACE
IF THIS WAS NOT SO
THEN WHERE IS IT
WE KNOW CBI IS READY
WE KNOW THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE IS READY
HE ASKED FOR IT
THE SECURITY OF IRAQ IS VITAL
AND I MEAN VITAL TO THE RV
NOW I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG
CBI CAN HOLD OUT
SO FAR OVER A YEAR
HOW MUCH IS HE WILLING TO LET INFLATION CONTINUE TO RISE
HOW LONG CAN THEY GO ON LETTING THE ECONOMY SLIP INTO OBLIVION
SO FAR WHEN WE THOUGHT IT CANT GO ON MUCH LONGER
IT HAS
THIS IS A PROBLEM IN A COUNTRY LIKE THIS
THERE ARE SO FEW IN CONTROL
AND THOSE ARE AS BB SAID
ONLY THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES
NOT THOSE WHO PUT THEM IN OFFICE
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SPED UP
IF THE IRAQI PEOPLE HAD TAKEN THE BULL BY THE BALLS
BUT THEY DIDN'T

Brewbaby says (07:22:01):
Basically would you say, we are now waiting on Parliament to come back from recess and seat or swear in the Security Ministers, then we can get the ball rolling.

Med says to (07:22:07):
YES
EXACTLY
AND I AM NOT SAYING THIS IN A DEPRESSIVE WAY

Roadrunner says to (07:22:25):
Saddam Syndrome- affraid to ac
t
Brewbaby says (07:22:27):
well at least they finally decided on them

Med says to (07:22:35):
IT IS JUST THE FACTS
GREAT
I AM SURPRISED THOUGH
THAT THEY DID NOT RECONVENE
TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY
NOW BB

Mountainman says to (07:23:17):
60% of the PM's are out of the country on vacation

Brewbaby says (07:23:17):
they can't too many out of country to call a meeting

Med says to (07:23:29):
NO I UNDERSTAND
JUST THAT REMEMBER
THERE WAS ALLOT OF HYPE
ABOUT THEM DOING SO

Brewbaby says (07:23:55):
I thought they were told not to leave the country to go homw to their respective provinces and be on call so to speak

Med says to (07:23:56):
FUNNY THAT THEY LIVE IN THE LAND OF BABYLON
SO WAS I
AND THEY DONT FIND IT A NICE PLACE TO VACATION

Brewbaby says (07:24:33):
well I guess the airport police didn't do their jobs very well......lol

Med says to (07:24:41):
LOL
ONE MAJOR PROBLEM

Brewbaby says (07:24:57):
or the money made them look the other way

Med says to (07:25:01):
IN THIS POLITICAL SYSTEM

Cleminspector says to (07:25:09):
Maybe they are ashamed to show their faces on the streets in Babylon

Med says to (07:25:18):
IS THAT THEY UNLIKE IN THE U.S.
HAVE ABOUT 10-14 DAYS
OF CAMPAIGNING
BEFORE ELECTIONS
HECK YOU CANT FIND OUT SCRATCH
ON A PERSON IN THAT TIME
LOOK AT US IN THE U.S.
DURING CAMPAIGNING

Cleminspector says to (07:26:26):
Oh yes the American news hounds can here

Med says to (07:26:26):
EVERY LITTLE DIRTY THING THAT CAN BE DUG UP
IS
HONESTLY I WILL BET
THAT NOBODY EVEN KNEW THE PERSON THEY VOTED FOR
NOW IT SEEMS THERE ARE SOME FRUSTRATED
MP'S
BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT CHANGE

Cleminspector says to (07:27:41):
IS THAT HOW OUR PRESIDENT GOT ELECTED???

Med says to (07:28:00):
OK I AM NOT GETTING INTO PERSONAL ATTACKS
ON ANY SIDE

Cleminspector says to (07:28:07):
LOL

Med says to (07:28:14):
I AM ONLY SPEAKING IN GENERALITIES

Cleminspector says to (07:28:24):
Just playing with you MED

Med says to (07:28:37):
HMMM
OH A JOKE
A HUMEROUS STORY

Cleminspector says to (07:28:54):
LOL

Med says to (07:28:55):
WITH A FUNNY CLIMAX

Mountainman says to (07:29:02):
Med how is Lydia?

Med says to (07:29:09):
SHE IS MUCH BETTER TY

Brewbaby says (07:29:12):
MED, once they seat the Ministers, how much longer, or what do you think will be the next step in the process, it appears a lot of issues have been discussed and resolved.

Med says to (07:29:44):
THIS WILL DEPEND ON WHAT IS SATISFYING TO SHABIBI
IS THIS ALL HE WAS WAITING FOR
DOES HE ONLY WANT THAT AS HIS HELP
AS HE SAID
HE SAID HE WAS DONE
AND COULD RAISE THE ZERO'S ANYTIME
BUT REMEMBER HE SAID HE NEEDED HELP
FROM THE GOVT
AND THAT SECURITY IS A PROBLEM
THIS WAS THE ONLY THING I GOT OUT OF HIM
THAT HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT
AM I CONCERNED IT IS DRAGGING ON
NO NOT REALLY

Brewbaby says (07:32:12):
You do not see them coming back before the 12th do you?

Med says to (07:32:14):
DO I LIKE HOW THINGS ARE HANDLED
NOPE
BUT WE HAVE WATCHED THESE IDIOTS FOR YEARS
AND THIS IS WHO THEY ARE
AND HOW THEY BEHAVE AND REACT
JUST BLOW IT OFF
SHAKE YOUR HEAD AND THINK THANK GOD WE ARE NOT IRAQ
OR ANY COUNTRY IN THE MI

Brewbaby says (07:33:55):
I guess there really is no one or organization that can make them do anything any faster is there?

Med says to (07:34:01):
NO
THERE IS NOT
WITH THE LIST
CONTROLLING PARLIAMENT
THEY USE THAT AS LEVERAGE

Brewbaby says (07:34:43):
Did you see where your buddy said he could get them together and everything settled? LOL

Med says to (07:34:56):
WHO BB

Brewbaby says (07:35:00):
Sadr...........

Med says to (07:35:01):
WHO SAID THAT
OMG
THE LITTLE D. BAG

Brewbaby says (07:35:14):
yep, in big bold letters

Mountainman says to (07:35:22):
LOL its true

Med says to (07:35:36):
IT IS BECAUSE
HE WAS A COWARD
AND KNUCKLED UNDER TO IRAN

Brewbaby says (07:35:59):
He wants to do this, so he can have leverage on getting us out of the country

Med says to (07:36:12):
I WOULD THINK SO
BELIEVE ME
HIS MOTIVES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH A NATIONAL ALLIANCE
THEY ARE ABOUT SADR

Brewbaby says (07:37:30):
oh, he stated it flat out, that he could get the List and the SOL together and to agree on the Erbil Agreement, so that everyone could sit down and discuss when the US is to leave Iraq

Med says to (07:37:32):
I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL
OH HMMMM
AND HIS MEDHI ARMY

Brewbaby says (07:38:24):
who else do you think would become Maliki's Army?
I would bet my Dinar that 75% of them are trained Iranian soldiers

Med says to (07:39:13):
HMMMM
NOT SURE
ON THE MALIKI'S ARMY
BUT I AM SURE THAT THEY ARE GETTING SOME ASSISTANCE
SORRY
DOZED OFF

Dinar Mark says to (07:40:11):
GM Med, Just wondering what the good ole US is going to do?

Med says to (07:40:23):
NOT USED TO LOOKING AT THE SCREEN

Dinar Mark says to (07:40:23):
Troops that is??

Med says to (07:40:34):
THIS IS 50/50
RIGHT NOW
WE DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE

Brewbaby says (07:40:50):
NP, The Iraqi Army definitely needs a moral boost and a shot in the arm from someone who is in charge of only them and not all the other Ministries in Iraq

Med says to (07:40:52):
WE SEE THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
YES
IT DOES
THEY HAVE LOST EVERY WAR
THEY HAVE NOT ANY HISTORY
OF PRIDE OR SUCCESS
TO FALL BACK ON

SallyDS says to (07:42:34):
is that why the US Amb is trying to insert himself between Iraq and Sadr?

Med says to (07:42:44):
WELL
I THINK PART OF IT IS THAT
YES

Dinar Mark says to (07:43:20):
Ok, with inflation rising and all of the news lately with the commercial banks, I am wondering if ole Shabs is getting a little nervous???

SallyDS says to (07:43:24):
thx

Med says to (07:43:48):
YW
I WOULD THINK SO DM
REMEMBER HE WANT 5 YRS
TO GET THE CORE INFLATION INDEX
TO UNDER 2%
AND NOW IT HAS TOPPED 6%
WITH PRICES RISING
AND WAGES NOT

SallyDS says to (07:45:10):
would you comment - if you have not - on the announcement of the commerical arrangements for loans and paying ceedtors that cbi announced this weekend?

Med says to (07:45:34):
I THINK IT IS A PLUS
BY DOING SO THEY ARE REMOVING
OBSTACLES
AND KEEPING ASSETS

Brewbaby says (07:46:45):
MED, did you see where CITI Bank and the Bank of Baghdad are joining forces to help with international accounts?

Med says to (07:46:48):
THAT CAN BE USED TO COVER A RATE OF EXCHANGE
YES I DID
NOT SURE ON THAT
WHAT IT REALLY MEANS
I MEAN I KNOW WHAT INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTS ARE
BUT NOT SURE THE IMPACT
ON US
THE INVESTOR

Dinar Mark says to (07:47:49):
I don't suppose you could think of any senerio for Shabs to pull the trigger without this Gov. thing being settled. Maybe something we have not thought about???

Med says to (07:48:12):
OH I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT

Brewbaby says (07:48:17):
to me they made it sound like there are companies already doing business in Iraq that needed outside help to take care of transactions

Med says to (07:48:18):
BUT IT IS NOT IN THE CARDS
HE CANT
HE HAS ALREADY GIVEN HIS BLESSING
TO MOF
AND WE FROM WHAT WAS SAID
IS THAT PARLIAMENT IS TO GIVE THEIR BLESSINGS
OR NOT
WELL WE KNOW WHERE PARLIAMENT IS
ON VACATION

Brewbaby says (07:49:53):
Do you think there is a chance that Parliament will not give their blessings?

Med says to (07:50:02):
ME
NO
I THINK THIS IS ONE THING
THAT THEY ALL WILL RALLY AROUND

Dinar Mark says to (07:50:39):
Well, i guess we are in the almost exact same place we were in this time last year, so we watch and wait with great patience

Med says to (07:50:51):
NO NOT REALLY
NOT AT ALL
LAST YEAR
NOONE CAME TO SHABIBI
AND ASKED FOR THE RV
AND HE WAS
AND SAID OK
BUT HE ALSO SAID HE NEEDED HELP
FROM THE GOI
AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM
THEY ARE NOT HELPING
THE BICKERING IS THE PROBLEM

Dinar Mark says to (07:51:52):
No, I was talking about Government being in place

Med says to (07:51:56):
NOW IF THEY VOTE RIGHT AWAY
OH YES
I TOLD LYDIA THAT THIS MORNING
AT THE LAKE
SORRY DM
I MISUNDERSTOOD

Dinar Mark says to (07:52:28):
NP

Med says to (07:52:34):
HOLD ON
I GOT TO GET SOMETHING TO DRINK
MY VOICE IS GETTING HOARSE
LOL

Brewbaby says (07:53:29):
MED were you on when Combat Truck Drivers wife came on and said he was on the phone and said that one of the guys he works with over there went to Warka and could not buy anymore Dinar and that Warka told him the rate was to change on the 15th?
granted it is just hearsay, but CTD is there so maybe Warka is not selling anymore Dinar

Dinar Mark says to (07:54:51):
Brew, That would be nice, but that is going to have to go in the "rumor column"

Brewbaby says (07:55:46):
exactly DM, I was just asking Med if he saw it. It could possibly be true that Warka is not selling anymore Dinar, only everyday transactions, and if that is true, that would be a plus, IMO.

Med says to (07:56:52):
SURE WOULD BB
I AM GOING TO TAKE MY LAPTOP OUT THE LAKE
I GO TO CHELLES ALLOT

Brewbaby says (07:57:24):
thanks Med

Med says to (07:57:32):
AND I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET ON AT HER PLACE
I HAVE BOTH WI FI
AND THE OTHER DUMB THING

Brewbaby says (07:57:55):
We do miss you Med, even if you just pop in and say hello and tell us about fishing, your presence is missed.

Med says to (07:58:07):
I APPRECIATE IT
AND I MISS ALL YOU GUYS

littlecisco says to (07:58:21):
Yes-that's right, Med!!!

Med says to (07:58:23):
I HAD TO CLEAN THINGS UP
ON MY SIDE

Brewbaby says (07:58:36):
we understand

Med says to (07:58:39):
I AM NOT RUNNING OFF
AND NOT COMING BACK

SallyDS says to (07:58:47):
Med, Lakes are good. and I appreciate it when you are here...but not so much that I would deprive you and Lydia of lakes..

Med says to (07:58:51):
I AM ALWAYS GOING TO BE HERE
TILL THIS IS DONE
I KNOW SALLY
AND THANK YOU ALL
FOR BEING SO KIND TO ME
AND RESPECTFUL

Brewbaby says (07:59:21):
I think it is a green thing...........LOL

SallyDS says to (07:59:27):
thanks for you efforts, have a GREAT TIME!

littlecisco says to (07:59:34):
You're a huge bright spot in our day!

Med says to (07:59:38):
TY
OH WE GOT SOME SERIOUS FISH
IN THE LAST 3 DAYS

Brewbaby says (08:00:05):
finally got to keep those BASS

Med says to (08:00:11):
LYDIA GOT SOME MONSTER LARGE MOUTH BASS
I MEAN MONSTERS
AND I GOT SOME YESTERDAY
LAST NIGHT
YOU KNOW

Dons says to (08:33:54):
good morning any good iraq news been mostly away from site this past week. sounds like you are having great fun med-----you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Med says to (08:33:56):
I TOLD CINDY THIS YESTERDAY
TY DONS
WHAT IS THE HARDEST FOR ME
IS WHEN WE FIRST GOT INTO THIS
SO MUCH HAD TO BE ADDRESSED
AND YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DISCUSS EVERYDAY
AND AFTER SO MANY YEARS
THEY REALLY HAVE MOVED A LONG WAY
DESPITE THEMSELVES
AND NOW WE ARE ON FINAL LAP
AND THERE ACTUALLY IS SO LITTLE TO HAVE DONE
I REALLY MEAN THAT
THERE IS JUST NOT MUCH THAT WE HAVE TO WATCH
WE SURE HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANY COMMENTS BY CBI
BUT THIS IS ON THE NEW GOI
AND THEM SETTLING THINGS
NOW I JUST DON'T KNOW IF SHABIBI
WILL SAY YOU KNOW WHAT SCREW THIS
WAITING
WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD
HE HAS BEEN SO DISCIPLINED
SO FAR
AND I DO NOT KNOW IF HE WILL CHANCE IT
BEING THE MAN HE IS
NOW ALSO
THE WTO IS IMPORTANT
IS THERE ANY MOVEMENT ON THIS
WE CAN FORGET ABOUT THE GCC
THEY ARE NOT GETTING IN IT ANYTIME SOON
AND WE STILL HAVE THE MARKET ECONOMY
THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE UP AND RUNNING
WITH THE HELP OF THE UN
NOW DEPENDING ON HOW BACKWARDS
THEY HAD THINGS
THAT ALSO DEPENDS
ON HOW FAST THINGS GET IMPLEMENTED
IS THIS LIKE HELLS KITCHEN
WITH THAT ONE CHEF
WHERE EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SCRAPPED
AND A TOTALLY NEW MINDSET HAS TO BE SET IN
THESE PEOPLE REMEMBER DO NOT DO CHANGE WELL
AND I AM NOT TALKING THE ENTIRE IRAQI POPULATION
JUST THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN PUT IRAQ ON TRACK
WELL GANG
I HAVE SOME THINGS TO DO
I MAY BE HERE FOR THE DAY
NOT SURE YET
DEPENDS ON HOW WELL THINGS GET DONE AT HOME
DOING SOME YARD WORK
I DON'T WANT THINGS LOOKING LIKE CRAP WHILE WE ARE GONE
TAKE CARE
AND SEE YOU ALL LATER
