4-7-2014 Newshound Guru Red Lily

4-7-2014   Newshound Guru Red Lily   [This] is based on my studies of Iraq news for the last month (and past 5 years)...  We have seen that parliament has not made any progress on passing the budget as election propaganda took to the road April 1st.  We have seen an article stating the HCL has not been implemented as of late.  It is true that Maliki agreed to the 'framework' of the HCL.  Even signed off on it years ago.  Then made an Executive Decision that it needed to be revised and not implemented.  Since then I do not recall any revisions and it certainly has not been applied as law.  It seems the economy is doing well although Oil Exports were down.  Iraq is certainly expanding and diversifying its national product as the IMF has advised them to do.
