...the CBI keeps moving ahead with banking reforms. I am not even following them too closely any longer as these reforms, as I am told by my CBI contact, are all part of the White Paper and the White Paper is as done as they need it to reinstate the dinar and go international.
Article: “WARNINGS AGAINST “MINISTERS OF FAILURE”… ADAI CALLS ON AL-ZIDI TO CONFRONT THE PRESSURES OF THE BLOCS AND APPOINT COMPETENT INDIVIDUALS TO MINISTERIAL POSITIONS”
...Yes, they are always filling these high paying govt jobs as favoritism rather that real skill to do a competent job. Is this also why we sit here over 20 years still waiting for the RV?
We are about to see it again with Nouri al-Maliki getting either a vice-presidential position or even now he wants the minister of oil, a Zaidi’s cabinet position. Did he horse trade his vote to let in al-Zaidi for this?
Of all positions in the cabinet (besides finance minister or minister of the interior) this is definitely also one you don’t want Maliki medaling around in.
He will most definitely mess up the current agreements made with Kurdistan and muck up the Oil and Gas Law now on the table in parliament. We need this law done to get us to the reinstatement...He actually wants to stop the Oil and Gas Law because he knows it will bring conclusion to this constitutional requirement, something the US is demanding prior to the reinstatement...This guy is bad news for any real progress in Iraq.
