"Teribus thinks he knows more about the Iraqi economy than Heather Stewart! Don't be so pompous, teri. Thats a good article and explains clearly what I was trying to say earlier." - dianavan, 27 Feb 07 - 01:02 PM

Don't know anything about the Iraqi economy but I have probably forgotten more about the international oil industry than Heather Stewart will ever know, having worked in it for the last thirty-five years.

"The law, which is being discussed by the Iraqi cabinet before being put to the parliament, says the untapped oil would remain state-owned but that contracts would be drawn up giving private sector firms the exclusive right to extract it."

So that is what you say dianavan, so where is all this crap that you have been spouting about the "evil-old-US of A" stealing Iraq's Oil. I take it that now you retract all such stupid statements. As you have correctly said, and nay I will go even further, ALL OIL, GAS AND WHATEVER OTHER NATURAL RESOURSES lie beneath the sovereign territory of IRAQ BELONGS TO IRAQ and her people. ALWAYS HAS, ALWAYS WILL - why dianavan because you can't move it, simple fact of life. So don't ever let me hear you spout about the the US and Iraqi oil again - it's a non-starter.
