The so called OIL Sharing in the puppet Iraq Constitution allows foreign Oil Companies to TAKE 2/3rds of the Oil. Boy that sure is sharing... The other 1/3rd is pretend oil for Iraq that is funnelled back to the same FOREIGN oil companies. Geezes no wonder why they hate us. Displace 4 million people, kill 500,000+, and steal their oil.

In order to get the oil out of Iraq, it will take large oil company investment of capital, equipment and people. The way they get return on their investment is to secure a percentage of the oil. This is a win-win for the Iraqis, since they get free oil they don't need to pay to pull out of the ground. This is common in many countries. China is doing it in Iran under a similar deal.
Now on to the bigger problem: Iraq was supposed to rebuild on the back of their oil. We are paying US tax dollars to bring oil into Iraq, since they can't produce enough.
Bush screwed this up and continues to do so.

If you do not think oil is a vital national interest,please turnoff your computer and air conditioner and trade your car for a horse and buggy.Oil is essential for everything.Society will collapse if the flow is disrupted.Disrupt that flow and watch millions or more die of starvation."No blood for oil"looks real good on a protest sign,has nothing to do with reality though.All the worlds economies are dependent on oil.No world leader with nukes will allow their society to collapse into anarchy that would ensue without it.It's not a pretty fact,but a fact nonetheless.We can give "blood for oil"or we can starve for the lack of it.AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH

If the US is in the business of stealing oil from other countries, please explain why we have not taken the oil from Kuwait, or Saudi Arabia. Come to think of it we import more oil from Canada than any other country. Considering that the Canadian army has Less soldiers that New York city has police officers, why have we not just strolled across the border and taken theirs. The phrase war for oil is an indicator of ignorance

If it was about oil we could have simply gone into Iraq and said "We're taking over the oil industry." What could they have done about it? Nothing.

Did you consider the billions of dollars it costs to get out of the ground? The companies pay for that .... not Iraq.
Basic accounting and investment.
In any case, Pelosi and Hillary voted to send $5 billion to Haliburton a few months ago. Amazing. huh?

thats not true. We have not taken any oil from Iraq.
Think about it, if we did, the prices here will be lower

That's how they will pay back what we have put into Iraq. I thought you knowledgable people would know that.
