Oil in Iraq IS going to the Iraqis
The Rich and Powerful Iraqis anyway.

If you ever get a chance to read "The Progressive", an issue that was out a couple of months ago said that oil was being Privatized.

Unions in Iraq are fighting against this.

Go Iraqi Unions!

1. I think it's going nowhere......
just how Saudi Arabia and Big Oil want it. Keeping that #2 reserve off the market is making a lot of rich people richer....

2. Duh!
we knew this from the beginning.I'm surprise that The Progressive is late to the party
quote....
After Saddam: Fledgling states, oceans of oil” Original Link: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/DI28Ak03.html “By toppling Saddam, the United States will gain control of the Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil reserves, shielding itself from the Saudi threat of raising oil prices and thus choking the already shaky Western economies. As well, with its hands on Kuwaiti and Iraqi oil, Washington will be in a better position to influence the power struggle in Saudi Arabia over the succession, and to make sure the anti-US elements there who armed and supported al-Qaeda’s terrorists are eliminated.” end quote.....
