If they don't hurry I'm afraid the government will lose support that can't be regained and we'll have to wait for another 3 years for them to establish another government. In terms of reval (if the government reacts ) they need to act now.

It's so frustrating ... that so many things appear to be in place and ready...
they are even getting a grip on the security problem in Bagdad.. now it's becoming a possiblity that if they don't do it soon..rv.. it might not happen in the near future? Wish we would see just a tiny little increase in rv... just to
know that its progressing... sorry ... if sounding nervous... its cause I AM.. Wish we had some real solid news to back up all our
logic and great speculation as to why it should happen soon...

Parliament-Recess
Iraqi parliament starts summer recess, back on Sept 2
By Kawthar Abdul-Amir
Baghdad, July 30, (VOI) – Iraq’s first freely-elected parliament wrapped up its first session on Sunday to start a month-long summer recess and First Deputy Speaker Khaled al-Attiya said it would resume work on September 2.
The assembly discussed a draft law allowing Iraqi and foreign private sector firms to import oil products in a second reading.
Some legislators, however, voiced concern that such a move would help raise fuel prices.
“We fear that the law on importing and selling of oil products would add new burdens on citizens through raising prices,” Hamid al-Musawi of the Unified Iraqi Coalition (UIC) told parliament.
“Will foreign companies have a free hand in setting prices of oil products? Or will there be a body that sets prices?” asked Abbas al-Baiyati of the same Shiite bloc.
The 275-seat house also postponed voting on a special law for the Higher Independent Electoral Commission for lack of quorum at the end of the meeting.
Today’s meeting also went through a first reading of a draft amendment to the penal code
