It's an anonymous source, and when you read the entire article it sounds like more of an opinion. If that's the case, then we have to take it with a grain of salt. However, if it is true and we get factual final confirmation that the DFI protection will indeed end, this is GREAT news! It means Iraq is going to have to put on the big-boy pants and stop using the same excuses. We can surely hope that this, among other things coming up, leads to positive results.

4-25-2013 *Adam Montana ~[what is the lastest news from Iraq when it comes to HCL. It seems like news on this topic have been silence somewhat. Also wanted to know if there a possible RV this year and/or will we have to wait until 2014.] HCL is still positive and seems to be making steady progress. Regarding the date, there are a couple of things that lead me to believe we won't have to wait another year. The DFI protection possibly ending is one, Smart Cards due to be released in full by July, peaceful elections, HCL progress, and strong UN and Kuwait support just to name a few.
