Up to $US194 billion ($263 billion) in Iraqi oil revenues are going to multinational oil companies under long-term contracts, and not to the Iraqi people, a social and environmental group said.

In a report, the group known as Platform said that oil multinationals would be paid between $US74 billion and $US194 billion with rates of return of between 42 per cent and 162 per cent under proposed production-sharing agreements, or PSAs....

Blah, blah, blah...

Where do you leftocrats get this NONSENSE?

"In order to make major quantum increases in oil, we need to have production-sharing agreements, but that has to wait until after the formation of parliament," Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi said recently.

A new parliament is due to be voted on in December.

Calabrio, you will note that Phil hasn't posted since his opening "article." He rarely ever follows up his cut/paste routine with actual thoughts or opinions.

My Opinion? This ties in with the Cheney energy policy meetings along with the controversy concerning his refusal to release records from those meetings. Also brings to mind Wolfowitz's statements that Iraqi oil would pay for the war effort. And how the provisional authority drew up regulations setting up the privatization of Iraqi assets before there was an Iraqi parliament to decide if that was the course of action the Iraqi's wanted to take. Chaliburton and Shrub's oil buddies are reaping their rewards for supporting Shrub, and the Iraqi's and the american taxpayer are the big losers.

So what's your problem with him now. He hasn't changed since the first couple years.

Ah, but Deville like so many others has been faked out by the press who have mounted a massive disinformation campaign against Bush. It all makes sense when you look at it. Bush didn't change, public perception did thanks to the MSM. The only way someone like Deville could hate and oppose Bush no matter what he does is if he believes everything he sees on the news.
