Iraqi oil minister caught lying about oil contracts كذبة وزير النفط العراقي
Hussain al-Shahristani, the Iraqi oil minister, is asked about the share of new oil contracts going to American oil companies.

Iraqi oil law - Iraq study group oil aspects
Small clip from democracy now about the oil aspects. Many leading Kurdish politicians were highly critical of the report, particularly its recommendation that the Iraqi central government should maintain tight control over the nation's oil revenues. Qubad Talabani, the Kurdistan representative in Washington and the son of Jalal Talbani, complained that "Many of us feel that centralized tyrannies have led us to what we have today, which is a failed state." Massoud Barzani, the president of the northern Iraqi Kurdistan region, offered similar criticisms, as did Kurdish lawmaker Mahmoud Othman.[24] Other Iraqis chastised the report for putting American interests over Iraqi interests and for linking issues in Iraq with the Arab-Israeli conflict. Sheik Mohammed Bashar al-Fayadh, a spokesman for the Association of Muslim Scholars, a Sunni Arab group said that the report "guarantees for an exit (from Iraq) but without paying heed to preventing a civil war from breaking out?" Abdul Aziz Hakim, a Shiite and leader of the largest bloc in Iraq's parliament, said that "the problem in Iraq (has) specifically nothing to do with the situation in the middle east today."[25] [edit] Criticism of proposal to privatize Iraqi oil Critics of ties between Iraq Study Group members and oil companies were highly critical of the report's recommendations to privatize the Iraqi oil industry. Author Antonia Juhasz argued that this recommendation amounted to a statement that this recommendation ...

9/11, conspiracy, and the war on terror
Ten years after 9/11, the war in Iraq has officially come to an end and no oil wealth to show for it. No evidence that we invaded to seize on Iraqi oil. As is always the case, conspiracy theorists are void of ANY evidence of ANY of their claims and there was no basis for their claims to begin with. Iraq doesn't produce more than a fraction of the worlds total petroleum output, making a war for their oil a total waste of resources and there would be no increase in assets after spending that much money and time on it. At the time of 9/11, Saudi Arabia was America's prime oil producer, as Saudi Arabia was the worlds biggest oil producer. Since then, America has turned to Canada for the largest portion of it's imported oil. America doesn't even use Iraqi oil. Between 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq in March, 2003, America only imported 11 million barrels of Iraqi oil: not nearly enough to keep America's big economy running for a single day, even. Obviously, that oil was used for the military. In any event, Bin Laden is now dead (thankfully), but we haven't really managed to get a handle on Al-Qaeda: the party responsible for 9/11. The war in Iraq was success in that, we did topple and remove the regime of Saddam Hussein and his family, but we did not achieve the total victory over terrorism that everyone had hoped we would. Iraq absolutely DID finance and harbor terror and terrorists under Saddam Hussein. We still have a long way to go. The tides are turning at the Pentagon and ...
Privatizing Iraqi Oil? Iraq Study Group co-chair questioned
Lee Hamilton, a co-chair of the Iraq Study Group, is asked about a provision in the ISG's findings that seems to advocate privatization of Iraqi oil assets and putting in the hands of international, likely Western, investors -- oil companies. www.washingtonstakeout.com Transcript Husseini: Mr. Hamilton, can you clarify one of your recommendations, number 63, which called on the US to "assist the Iraqi leaders to reorganize the national oil industry as a commercial enterprise and to encourage investment in Iraq's oil sector by the international community and by international energy companies. Are you calling for some sort of privitization? Hamilton: Oil of course is the critical asset in Iraq. It furnishes a very large percentage of the GDP of Iraq. It furnishes a huge percentage of the total revenues of the government. We recommend many things with regard to the oil industry. I think there are as many recommendations on oil as any other feature of it, and you have to look at them as a package. Okay, thank you.

US Labor Against the War Opposes Iraqi Oil Privatization
Ms. Denice Lombard sharply criticized the Bush-Cheney Gang's legislative ploy, via the Iraq Supplemental Funding Bill, to privatize the oil of Occupied Iraq. She said: "We...oppose the scheme that undermines Iraqi national sovereignty and that deprives the Iraqi people of the full benefit of their natural resources." The Bill passed by the US Congress, via its benchmarks, will provide for the privatization of Iraqi oil. It was signed into law on May 25, 2007, by President George W. Bush, after getting rubber stamped by the Democratic-controlled US Congress. It requires the regime in Iraq to pass a law called, "The Hydrocarbon Act." If they refuse to do so over a billion dollars in reconstruction funds will be blocked by the Bush-Cheney administration. The US Labor Against the War group is a coalition of over 150 unions, representing over four million workers. Ms. Lombard spoke at a Capitol Hill press conference, on May 24, 2007, which was called by Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), one of the leading opponents of the Iraqi oil give-a-way scheme.
