He Spoke Well, Out of Office!

Yes, he did...

I might have expected him to do so, but maybe not a lot.

He is the outgoing Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari. And the occasion was the start of the new parliament in Iraq.



As a matter of fact, his speech was quite effective, and so were the other speeches at that day. But the question is: Will (any of) those speeches be brought to life and reality?



That's what WE as Iraqis need, right?!



Plain speeches wouldn't lead us anywhere, if things were not Goal U Fi'il (= you say it, then you do it) as we say, otherwise, everything would join the on going blablabla that we have been hearing for good knows how many years now (definitely much more than 3!).



But to Jaafari, as he goes from PM (=Prime Minister), to MP (=Member of Parliament); one could say, at this particular event: Well Said!



I guess it is true that: After everything is said and done, more have been said than done!
