Iraq signs mega oil deal with BP and CNPC (AFP)

AFP - Iraq formally signed a deal with Britain's BP and China's CNPC on Tuesday to almost triple production at a giant southern oilfield. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

I thought Pelosi, Reed and Obozo said during the presidential race that the US was in Iraq only to get oil.... Where are all the anti-war protesters? They were wrong too... does Bush get an apology?

VOTE OBOZO out in 2012 and all of Congress in 2010...

Can this news officially end the dumbs**ts yelling that Bush just did it for oil? They must be sad to realize we went there for higher reasons.

Bush and Cheney are secretly citizens of China and England ? Gore is making BILLIONS from Carbon Taxes and nothing is being said? The Treasonous Left is without morals.

The brits provided the human intelligence to americans, prez cheney and his sidekick, dubbyaa to go after non-existant WMD. These are the first two contracts. I think there are 6 more to be awarded.

British Petroleum 10, USA 3 the score so far !

I now have to read the economic history after WW1 to see if my suspicion is true.

Iraq is free to do as it pleases with its oil. I think the US ought to rethink their investment in Iraq's infrastructure.

Does Britain still own BP ? Or is it like the American Flag ? Being sold under the table by a Communist Muslim, to the highest bidder.

Really Selfless America, Bravo.!!!

& FYI ....

The Chinese also gets the Afghan copper mines and now their cut in Iraqi oil. --- Sometimes I just wonder who's the tru blu capitalist...!!!

God Bless America !!@


& I just hope it's BP under the American Flag kind of Catch-21. So the Iraqis, and world opinion can better stomach the deal.

It's more palatable in the truest sense of an open free market, & besides you owe over a trillion $ to the Chinese. It's good that they also get their cut here and there.

But I'd rather, you'd take a page out of the Chinese way of money and peace..... And much agree, that you rethink your overall Middle Eastern /Central Asian investment structure.

& it's not so bad to diversify from the current overweight on boys, bullets and bombs...

Hope things do turn around in the bloody business.

For the sake of world peace and everyones.,,

Cheers.
