JCNoble:
Have we heard anything as to why the delay/holdup of the Iraq international rates?

Fullsail:
Maybe there is no holdup, maybe simply ptb crossing T's dotting I's. Once it is released the genie can not be put back in the bottle. They must get this right the first time OR small problems could turn into large. I trust in this

Lena:
My personal feeling is there is probably little to discuss and we are waiting for the U S Treasury to complete what are are supposed to do. I hope they are working on that.

JCNoble:
lena do we know what the US is waiting on?

Lena:
No, I have read it was in the hand of the US treasury to complete it

Fullsail:
Whats exciting about all of this, for me, is that it reminds me that we are all thoroughbreds at the starting gate and for years ready to be released to run the track. The difference for me is that all of us may not be needing to be in a rush, because we will ALL eventually cross the finish line, and we ALL go to the winner's circle with wreaths of Roses. We all win. That is exciting for me. .... ...So, IF you are in the gate, and little jumpy waiting, be rest assured we are all winners already. Keep the Faith

Steadfast:
So if the us treasury is the holdup, and if the us government goes into shut down more, will the ust have to wait until the government reopens?

Atlast1:
steadfast.... there are certain agencies and departments within the Federal government that are considered "essential personnel" that keep working even during a shutdown. The UST is one such agency.Not all of the staff will be working but the agency will continue to operate.
