1-9-2013 *Adam Montana ~Fiscal Year 2013 for Iraq is here. This means nothing by itself, but now that we're past that mark we can start looking for more important stuff... like ratifications and serious votes on serious matters such as foreign policy, Iraqi banking and financial structures, and most importantly - HCL and Chapter 7. Now, Iraq itself does not have much to do with the DECISION that needs to be made on Chapter 7. They have done everything they need to do, they are 100% compliant and there is nothing to legally prevent them from being released unconditionally from Chapter 7 IMMEDIATELY. HCL is another story - that IS Iraq's baby, and they DO have everything to do with it. For those of you that don't know, the HCL is the "Hydro Carbon Law" - it's a HUGE deal for Iraq, because it influences and even controls where the money goes when they sell oil, who can sell oil to whom, and very significantly - what the Kurdish region of Iraq can do with it's share of the resources.
