A draft law being considered by the Iraqi parliament would enable US companies to take control of Iraq’s oil industry, oil experts in the country say.The proposed bill, approved by the Iraqi government in February after months of wrangling, opens the country’s oil sector to foreign investors 35 years after it was nationalised.
Under no circumstances would Iraq relinquish its authority, its responsibility and its control over Iraq’s natural resources,” Hussein Shahristani, the country’s oil minister, told reporters in the United Arab Emirates.
</em>Uh, fella? Cheney and Bush are pretty much over the whole not greeted as liberators, streets of flowers thing, but dude, they’re taking the oil. Why do you think we spent a half trillion dollars (so far) taking over your country?
So you could vote or something? Silly savage.
