Iraq Oil Law 1/2

Aired on June 4, 2007
The Iraq Oil Law is a little known document at the heart of the war.

Critics of the Iraq oil law say it will deprive Iraqis of billions in oil revenues and worsen tensions between regions, ethnic groups, and religions. Critics also point to a long paper trail of US involvement in the drafting of the law.

Blogger Raed Jarrar is one of those critics. In February 2007, Jarrar obtained a copy of the law from a source inside the Green Zone in Baghdad - before the Iraqi Parliament had even seen it. The draft law, says Jarrar, was in part written by American consulting firm Bearing Point, a company that got a $240 million contract from the US government to draw up plans for Iraq's reconstruction.

Bad news for Boogieman Bolton, Paul Wolfowitz and Bush-Zionist and Co.; They will have to put-up the cost of war, re-building Iraq, plus compensating all deaths and sufferings of Iraqis and Americans as well. Iraqi oil will not pay for the cost of an illegal war!

We need more Avi Lewis!
