Rock - get over it, transnationals don't have a country, only self interest. They only pretend to be linked to a country because then they suck money out of gullible national/regional governments.
This is in response to the liberal turds on this board that keep insisting we invaded to steal all the oil , the claim now being we force the Iraq Government to make deals with just our oil companies.
Hey, retired, did you see where one of the NeoCons that was in on the war planning is negotiating with Iraq for an oil contract. I don't think he is Chinese.
And pleasse quit speaking for the left. You don't even truly represent the right except for the extreme.
Show me the quote where all the lefties said what you stated.
You make up more shit than a Christmas goose. Hmmm, maybe that't what you need. I will check with Craig to see if he's busy.
Deflection and bullshit, you think that will work? Sorry but anyone that was not off hiding on another board knows full well that HAS been the claim around here.
Wait how can this be? Haven't we been bombarded with the claim that only American oil companies can make deals in Iraq and that we have made sure only they would profit from the war?

LOL@RetiredGySgt: For years American companies make shit loads and have the lions share of contracts, so this hardly proves any point you're trying to make. In fact it strengthens the arguement that the invasion was about American companies getting the oil. Seeing as this deal was done prior to the invasion, it demonstrates Iraq wanted to deal with countries other than America, which was obviously not acceptable.

This deal in no way shape or further validates the argument that the US invaded Iraq to take over its oil fields. It does the exact opposite.
Countries do not invade other countries to take over their resources then give away hundreds of millions of dollars of those resources to countries that actively opposed the war.
First of all, the hapless Bush and 50 million of his devout followers thought he could walk into iraq and install the strongly pro-american thug Ahmed Chalabi, and it would be smooth sailing after that........ In spite of the warnings from 90% of the rest of the world that walking into iraq was going to be like walking into a hornets nest.
Second, there are few black and white issues on this planet. It's completely ludicrous to say that American oil companies would get all the oil, and nobody else would get a drop. I don't think anyone in the right mind, or above a 7th grade intelligence level thought that.
The bottom line is that ever since Iraq nationalized their oil resources in the 1960s, western multinational corporations have been dying to get back in. And in 2003, BushCo and the Bremer Occupation Authority dismantled iraq's nationalized oil companies paving the way for privatization and favorable terms for multinational investors.
