It's another busy week in Iraq. Hopefully we will see some ReSolution not ReVolution ... The news, so far, looks very positive. I've added news articles/links that indicate plans are moving forward and indicate that most issues have been resolved. But .. this is Iraq, and anything is possible .. good or bad. i'm leaning towards the good side and imo, this might be the end of a very long journey.Things to look for ...
1. Iraq's Government to be Completed - Security Ministers Need To Be In Place. Look for Erbil Agreement to be passed ..
2. Chapter 7 ~ Iraq is still under Chapter 7 and they must meet requirements to satisfy the Kuwaiti issues ..
3. Troop Withdrawal ~ Tuesday's Meeting, look for an Agreement to be signed for the official withdrawal and the stipulations for those remaining in a training capacity ..(It's Unanimous Iraq's Political Leaders Agree ~ Talabani Announces All U.S. troops out of his country by an agreed year-end deadline!)
4. Iraq Oil and Gas Law ..
