erm, why are you talking about a very old agreement of 1928? It was related with post world war one (but that's another discussion). Are you googling or you have this bookmarked? Where have you been since Iraq got it's independence and was producing oil? It was one of the top 10 oil producers before it was pulled out of the market (less production raises prices?).

oh, is it? So you surely believe that your car will be running with gas on 2050? Oil
is a finite resource...

I can, but you don't, apparently...

You are clearly being manipulated, yeah.

So it's false assumption to think that US politicians are connected to the oil industry and are gaining all the profit they can, even if that
costs the life of US citizens (soldiers) that want to fight for their country and for freedom (no, I don't believe they-re share holders). Well, you are really being a bit to much innocent in your readings or you're just looking to this by "Bush eyes".
I certainly don't expect that you understand my point, and I'm
not attacking in any way the American people, just the way their politicians have been wrongly in Iraq, first with false reasons (massive destruction weapons, do you remember that
propaganda?), and since then for the obscure reason: Iraq out of the oil market and US troops in Iraq
is the cause of actual oil prices (apart of the "Peak Oil scam") and a good business either for US oil and war industry.
Anyway, I just wanted to say my point of view about this matter.
