Foreign companies vie for profit from Iraq's oil - 30 Jun 08

Opponents of the war in Iraq say that the US invaded the country's for its oil.

Oil is Iraq's most precious resource, and it is now finally within reach.

Some of the world's biggest companies are set to go back into Iraq, with new contracts expected to be announced shortly.

However many Iraqis are suspicious of such plans and worry the country's oil wealth will go to foreigners.

FREE OIL

Free oil for the USA

The nation raped

What oil is paid for is paid for in US dollars which are valued at half the face value due to the total mis management of the US economy

The citizens of the USA carry the debt burden and the rest of the world carries the rape of the world by the USA

FREE OIL for the USA

Israel: We Destroyed Iraq.. Iraq must Stay Divided and Isolated… The Oil of Northern Iraq will Flow into Israel!

We achieved in Iraq more than we expected and plan!”

Weakening and isolating Iraq is no less important than weakening and isolating Egypt.

“Iraq has vanished as a military force and as a united country. Our strategic option is to keep it divided."

Yes, it was just to control the oil market. So what? It is not the first time and will not be the last. A people who can not defend their own natural resources does not deserve to have these natural resources.
