Iraq Parliament is being pressured to let US Oil Co.'s have 80% of all Iraq Oil production forever!


After we have paid for the war with blood and money, they will get to sell it to us for huge profits thanks to Bush. Yet another war crime?

I sincerely doubt that the Iraqi parliament will pass the proposed Hydrocarbon Law. The country would be in turmoil for a long time if it did. The long-term control of the Iraqi oil by foreign oil companies under the terms proposed would enrage the Iraqi people.

The Bush administration is again trying to mislead the American people by describing the proposed law as a distribution law and hiding the fact that the benefits of the law will go to the big oil companies.

The Iraqi parliament cannot pass this Hydrocarbon law, as proposed, and expect the government to remain in power for long. The Iraqi people would be outraged. The law is proposing long-term control of the Iraq oil by foreign oil companies and the legal equivalent of production sharing agreements. No Iraqi government in its right mind could approve such an arrangement. The law should be revised or a new law can be drafted that will retain control of the Iraq oil in the Iraqi government and reflect equitable cooperation with foreign oil companies. The Iraqi government should be working on that right now.

The entire corrupt Bush Administration is a coup of our government pulled off by the CIA and the first George Bush.
Florida voter scandal 2000
9/11/01
Illegal invasion of Afghanistan
Illegal invasion of Iraq
Ohio voter scandal 2004

There is even an FBI memo dated 11-22-1963 that reported a telephone call was received from a George H. W. Bush notifying them that a person was heard talking about Killing JFK when he went to Houston. It also mentions that Bush was staying in the Dallas-Sheraton and would be going home on 11-23-1963. George H. W. Bush was involved with the CIA at that time.
that's all I am going to say about that.

Its not actually that much of a secret there has been information about this for quite a while .and its easy enough for any one interested to find it .
I can`t believe that some people actually believe that Iraq should be asked to pay for the privilege of being attacked and their country destroyed .I think with almost a million dead another 2 million displaced and the population now suffering from malnutrition (Iraqi children are now going through American trash bins searching for food )that they have paid a high enough price for being the innocent victims .

You sound like you would believe anything on the evening news and on the Internet. Well, Bush blew up the WTC, kidnapped the Lindbergh baby, caused the 71 earthquake in California that caused the VA hospital to collapse, and who knows what all else this man has done in his past.


He probable was on the Grassy Knoll, was on the helm of the titanic, and might have been responsible for the dinosaurs disappearance since he is not into ecology.

Heck, a man this powerfull, could call down fire and brimstone from heaven so, I dont think I would mess with him, do you?????

Besides, Bill didnt get prosecuted for oral sex and lying under oath, why should Bush

Let me ask you this. How much U.S. oild actually comes from the middle east? About 19% because it is simply not cost effective to ship it that far. Canada is the largest contributer to U.S. fossil fuels and the rest comes from various countries in South America.

And I have heard for four years now, "We are only there for the oil." WELL WHERE THE HELL IS IT?

Whine and complain. If liberal RETARDS like you would have kept your mouths shut from the start, and let us tap Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, then gas would be A LOT lower than it is today.

We don't need Iraqi oil.

Sounds fair to me. It is no secret that since the beginning of this war it has been stated that the Iraqi oil will be a large part of the war budget.

BS AND who cares. The least they could do is give us all their oil. They don't do anything except bicker and murder over someone having a different view on religion than they do. Boo freakin HOoo.
