"So don't ever let me hear you spout about the the US and Iraqi oil again..." - teribus

I'm not your child, teribus, and you don't get to demand silence or obedience from me.

Untapped Iraqi oil is worth nothing to the Iraqis or anyone else. Its only when its extracted and moved that it is worth anything. It is the private sector that will reap the profit unless the Iraqi people are able to develop their own means of extraction and transportation.

You know as well as I do that the average Iraqi citizen will not benefit from contracts with the U.S. and Britain.

Thats why this invasion has never been about freedom. Its only about oil and it doesn't seem to matter to you how many people die as a result.
