4-24-2013 *Adam Montana ~Elections were held, and it looks like a significant political shift is taking place. Results are not final yet, but it appears that things have moved away from Maliki's camp and that should bring on some interesting developments. Speaking of Maliki, there was some questions about his health and even some speculation that he was dead... this is not true. He is alive, and I don't expect to see him losing his spot.There is more talk about releasing the smartcards, but I believe they are having technical issues and they will want to have a final rate before going full steam on that issue...so any news about the Smart Cards is GOOD for us, as it brings us closer to the END of this roller coaster. And finally, the UN is just full of positive energy for Iraq. They are pushing for a resolution on Chapter 7 and HCL. They are commending Iraq on mostly peaceful elections and their progress as a nation. I'm watching for something strong out of the UN very soon. Other than that... there is no confirmation of a date or rate...
