Iraq and China sign oil deal - 13 Nov 2008

Iraq and China have agreed to a $3 billion deal to develop an oil field south of Iraq's capital, Baghdad.

Discussions stem from Saddam Hussein's era, but were halted after the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.

As security improves, Iraq is trying to court foreign oil companies to help increase its output.

@Mostiraul Who cares if you prefer the Chinese style to deal? USA has the best weapons and therefore the final word.

[WarmongerWW3]

Of course, we got more oil than the Chinese. Iraq exports 163,684,000 barrels of oil per year to the United States (448,000 barrels per day), worth over $9 billion in 2009, according to the EIA. This makes the United States Iraq’s number one oil export partner.The Middle East's oil belongs to America.

Welcome to Cold War 2.
