I Thought the Iraq War Wasn't About Oil...

This one speaks for itself:

"A draft law being considered by the Iraqi parliament would enable US companies to take control of Iraq's oil industry, oil experts in the country say.

'The law is designed for the benefit of US oil companies,' Ramzy Salman, an Iraqi economist who worked for the Iraqi oil ministry for 30 years, said.

If approved, it would take things back to where they were before the nationalisation of Iraq's oil in 1972."
