LATEST FROM PIMPY, 25 AUGUST

  Pimpy

  If you're planning on retiring sometime this year because of the Iraqi dinar exchange rate, well put a hold on your plans for just a little bit until we get past this next year IMO.  With the election season coming up and we have no idea who's going to be in charge of the country, we have no idea what kind of actions are going to be taken against Iraq...The fact that the United States Treasury has now taken up an entire floor in the Central Bank of Iraq is not a good thing at all...

Until you hear otherwise just assume Alaq has submitted his resignation letter and has not put a date yet as to when his last day is.  There are too many articles out there stating he has submitted a resignation letter.

 If it could be proven that [Alaq] was involved with some criminal activity...then he should be out of there and convicted...But if it's all bullshit and this is another one of those moves by Maliki and the Coordinating Framework then people have to do something... So we're not sure where this information is coming from.  But that doesn't mean you

shouldn't listen to the news, because this person is like, 'See Pimpy, you said there is no fake news.'  I did not say there was no fake news but not everything can be fake news.  Just because you don't like the information...it must be fake news.  Nope.  What you got to get to is the bottom of why this situation is there in the first place...Like anything else you have to be able to sift through the crap that you're hearing and make a decisions on whether the news is real or not...

 We know pretty soon Iraq is going to be here and talking to people in Washington about what they need to do to get back into good graces, have sanctions lifted on some of the banks and allowing Iraq to move forward with reform without looking for excuses to penalize them every time Iraq does something that pisses off the Biden Administration.
