Looked at the link but all I saw was Iraq news in aramaic. I must be missing something.

Adster, great news. Were the 2 people that stated that trust worthy? Mike, are you hearing the same thing from your end? Cigarman

Am looking forward to Sunday and finding out what happens in parliament. Off the beer at the moment trying to lose a bit of weight, but if it pegs and/or the FI Laws are passed, reckon it'll be worth a beer or 2![/QUOTE]

Adam,
wine has no carbs, has anti-oxidants and is GOOD for you.

Hi Gang,

Been out, and it is so nice to see everyone into it with great reporting of what is going on. What a great thing to see so much interest and mutual respect for what each brings to the forum. Nice place to hang out for sure and I look forward to hanging out in person someday real soon. (g)

As to what I am hearing, same ole same ole, sorry, .30 to .40 which is coming from Kurdish contact. Hey, either way, .30 or 1.07, I will be more than happy as a first step of many, after all, I learned how to be super patient with PIPS. LOL

Good luck to all, Mike

Mike, are you hearing this weekend?

A barrel of kerosene for each Iraqi family – minister
By


Baghdad, June 22, (VOI) – The Iraqi oil ministry decided to provide each family with a barrel of kerosene per month as of July.

“The decision was taken by Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahrestani during a meeting with senior ministry officials and
representatives of the Oil Products Distribution Company to discuss the ministry’s plans for oil products distribution and oil import and export plans,” the media liaison office at the ministry said in a statement received by the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

The oil ministry found that the number of fuel stations in some areas are not proportionate with the density of population, the statement quoted Shahrestani as saying.
