7-23-2014 *Adam Montana ~Forward motion on the budget, which says to me that in spite of the issues with ISIS and lack of a chosen PM, Iraq is still moving in the right direction. One of the questions I'm getting a LOT is "Do they even have to ever pick a new PM?!" I guess they don't have to make any kind of decision, but they are moving forward with the process and it's on pace to be done around the end of the month, which is also right in line with end of Ramadan. To further address the issue of moving forward in picking a PM, forming government, and just general progress - Ban Ki-moon (United Nations Secretary General) will be in Baghdad tomorrow. While we obviously don't have an RV yet, the big picture remains one of progress and resilience. As we approach the end of Ramadan and we continue to see positive action in Parliament/GOI/etc, I continue to stay hopeful that we're on the edge of something big, and soon.
