Iraq's Oil:
With all the press we've read over the time since the Iraq invasion, the one thing we are not hearing about is the oil. Seems somewhat curious considering that the oil was and is a major factor in deciding to go, and stay, there in the first place. I assume that they oil is being extracted and refined. I wonder if it is being sold, and to whom, and at what price. As well, what is happening to the funds being generated from its sale? Is the U.S. keeping it " In Trust"? Is the money being used to fund the American's "Liberation Costs"? Is Iraq being made to make war reparations? I find it very interesting indeed that we are hearing none of the answers to these questions.
