|  Bush Pushes Iraq Oil Law for ExxonMobil
Bush Pushes Iraq Oil Law for ExxonMobil Quote:
With Iraq going to hell, and the al-Maliki government failing to meet one benchmark after another, Bush is getting desperate.
On Sunday, he sent Admiral Fallon, the chief U.S. commander in the Mideast, to lean on Prime Minister al-Maliki.
On Tuesday, John Negroponte, former U.S. ambassador to Iraq and the UN, flew to Baghdad to lean on al-Maliki.
And what were they leaning on him for, above all?
Passage of the new oil bill, which would turn over Iraqi’s liquid treasure to foreign corporations like ExxonMobil.
