Title: How is AMerica going to take Iraq's oil, now that its defeated the old regime.
Post by: Immortal on July 04, 2003, 07:01:56 PM

YEa i'd like to know. Aren't they going to restore a political democracy or something, if so, then the oil should be that of iraq's people.  Also, how will it take the oil and wouldn't that be unfair without the consent of the iraqi people or government???

thanks

they r gonna use part of the revenue from the oil to rebuild iraq (to which the contract was sold to an american company, who then made it hard for foreign contracotrs to bid for the subcontracts) the rest of the oil revenues will be held by america until a new iraqi government is in place

thats how i understand it but as they never planned this far ahead before the war what happens to iraq seems to change on a daily basis
