2-28-2014 Intel Guru Ray Here is an update on the Maliki news
conference today. He told
the people that they are giving the Kurds one last chance to sit down and vote
on the Budget and if they don’t, Parliament will vote on the Budget sometime
next week with a majority vote; Kurds or no Kurds. He said that
the government only has enough money left to pay salaries for another month to
two months and that is it. After that, no more payroll payments or other
government services will be paid. He
said it is imperative that this Budget gets voted on as soon as possible so
monies can be distributed as soon as possible. I think this is
great news and I really hope that Maliki sticks by his guns and gets this done
once and for all. I will keep you posted on any other news I may hear.
