hands off iraq oil

'the iraq war has been a disaster - one million killed, infrastructure in ruins, chaos and bloodshed on the streets, nd now as a final insult; foreign oil companies are trying to steal iraq's oil wealth.

shell and pb are doing pretty well so far: the us and british governments are putting immense pressure on iraq to allow foreign oil companies into the country. the two companies have been actively pushing for a new law that would allow them to control most of iraq's oil reserves, depriving ordinary iraqis of billions of dollars of their nation's wealth.

such privitisation of iraq's key natural resource is strenuously opposed by iraqi's trade unions, oil experts and the majority of common iraqi people.

as rebel clowns we'd like to 'celebrate' today the successful way shell and bp are threatening the interests of the iraqi people: "everything for 'us'. great! isn't it? to the victor the spoils!

if you have another opinion: "it shouldn't be shell and bp, but the iraqi people who should decide the future of iraqi's economy and resources", visit http://handsoffiraqioil.org and see what you can do!'

InshaAllah, let's hope the governments and oil corps listen. But when have they ever been interested in the welfare of the Iraqi people or anyone else?

theres nothing id like to see more than iraqs oil to get on the market and see an economic boom in iraq, but the new law is just raping the iraqi people. Why cant iraq just borrow enough money to nationalise the industry and pay it back once the oil gets on the market. Signing 30 year contracts is just blatantly a con.
