teribus says - "Dianavan then picks up on an article about PSA's hinting that all those wicked UK and US Oil Companies are going to rush in and force Iraq to sign away their oil in 30 year deals."

He's referring to the Nov. 27th article in the Guardian which states, "In Iraq, an American-inspired deal to hand over development of oil reserves, the third largest in the world, to US and British companies is being rushed through by the oil minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Chalabi before next month's election."

Nobody is forcing Iraq to sign away development of their oil reserves. Chalabi is giving it away. Nobody is hinting about it either. Thats what is happening.

If you connect the dots, teribus, you will see that the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with freedom or democracy. It had all to do with greed.
