Jeff ...this is my opinion. Nothing more. I'm strongly looking to the second half of June for a financial blessing and for Iraq to go international...
Pimpy Article "Parliamentary Finance: Al-Kazemi has the powers to cancel the currency auction" ...Say what? That's right! Quote "members of the parliament finance committee confirms on Saturday that Prime Minister Kazemi owns the powers to cancel the foreign currency auctions at the central bank..." There are a lot of things going on...
