thanks! I agree i reread and realized it seems to tout the gloom and forgets about the progress that has been made........also no offense to poster of article:rolleyes:

it was 85 out of the 145 members that were present on the Parliament floor but it was a large enough number of total members present for the vote to count.
Lack of attendance has been the primary cause of non-action by parliament. Many days not enough members show up to be able to vote. The first two votes on the new cabinet were cancelled because of the lack of members present.
Hopefully, they will attend on the vote for the constitutional amendment package on the 17th June.
This is creating a situation when fring groups like Al-sadr's become Kingmakers because they do show up and they do vote in an environment where there is no attendance requirements.
The article was posted because it contained some interesting bits of info.....I leave the analyzing up to the individual reader. Although most of these articles should be taken with a grain of salt.....it's useful to have the various different opinions to compare with.
Poster (that would be me) has taken no offense to either comment.
An observation based on rate staying at 1260.
I believe this eliminates the "slow grow" option. Obviously, if the rate stays at 1260, the methodology cannot be called "slow grow" - and "no grow" never was an option.
Persistent lack of movement points to only one possibility - overnight recovery!
I agree, as I read it that way as well. What it means is that when the current mandate expires at end of 2007, Maliki will have to get approval from Parliament to request that coalition forces remain. The info on Oil I figured was more opinion than anything else.
