formula to share oil revenues?

B*sh is said to announce a plan for Iraq to share the oil revenues tonight. He has become a socialist now? The oil revenues in Iraq belong to the people who own the land the oil is under, not the national government. It's not theirs to give away.

1. I was under the impression that the land the oil is under

was currently owned by the national government.

2. since 1972, but just because it was stolen thirty something years ago

doesn't change the fact that it was stolen.

3. Stolen from whom?

Was it a government confiscation of privately owned land?
