The law means fuck all at this point in time. It is not law that rules in Baghdad, it is men.

Pure relationships, and whose miltias may protect your assets.

Whle readers have noted - I have not bothered wasting my time with this - that the usual Left suspects have gotten their lovely Left Conspiracy oreinted panties into a twist - and I am sure the usual Right Bolshevik drooling ideologue lapdogs (as any normal head-screwed on right person of the proper Right nows better) are shouting to the rooftops as to how this is a great sign of progress.... it means fuck all.

Fuck all.

Fuck all.

The only people who can use this law - once it passes - in the foreseaable future are investors who can operate outside the frameworks of Western governance. No OECD bribery acts or other namby pamby niceness.

In short, China, Iran, and others unconstrained by scruples or the like, and without the risk profile of a Western investor.

Let me bold, No Western Investor in his right motherfucking mind is going to put equity up for anything in Iraq in the next FIVE years. At best. The risk is way outside even the most aggressive zone. And anyone who does, that is Westerner, is going to lose their fucking shirt.

The whankery from the Left morons and the Right dupes is nothing but pure, illiterate idiocy.
