[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]
FIREFLY: TV is say when Sudani goes to Washington. OMG that's a long time off. Means nothing changing until after that probably, if it does this year.
FRANK: I don't care if it happens on the 15th of April. I don't care if it happens tomorrow. I just know it's happening with all that we're seeing. The proof is there. There's no doubt about it.
FIREFLY: Tv talked about parliament finance has been meeting...with the CBI officials talking about mechanisms to pay the salaries and all the project we have. This is a good sign. They are meeting right before the budget goes to parliament next week.
FRANK: Firefly knows if it does go to parliament and they vote, it will expose an exchange rate. Certainly not a program rate.
FIREFLY: Talked to bank friend. He told me it seems to be the quiet time but soon news on the amending budget will appear...Nothing will get done, so it's going to be soon. The dropping of the zeros is off the exchange rate...We were told on TV that during next week the 2024 amended budget will arrive at parliament for their vote.
FRANK: Stay very close to your friend because at any moment IMO I believe he'll be able to give you what you're looking for, what they promised you.
