Irony: Iraq to revive oil deal with China - AP

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

Let's see..We're running on fumes and going broke because we're paying gazillions on a war to "save" Iraq. So, they sell "our" oil to the holders of our debt.

I guess one has to be a Republican to make sense of it.

BAGHDAD - Iraq and China are set to revive a $1.2 billion oil deal that was canceled after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, the Iraq's oil ministry said Sunday.

An initial agreement with China is expected to be signed at the end of August to develop the billion-barrel Ahdab oil field south of Baghdad, the ministry said in a statement.

"Iraq and China are keen to show their cooperation by finalizing an agreement on developing the Ahdab oil field," it said.

The announcement came after a meeting between Iraqi Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani and China's ambassador to Baghdad.
