OT - IraqCan anyone here tell me how involved the US is in Iraq in terms of oil. I watched the CBC group hug last night with Peter and Rex and heard a lot about the oil but nothing to back up the claims. Things like "The US uses a lot of oil - Iraq has a lot of oil - therefore the US wants it and will take it by force."
Can anyone here tell me if the US gets their oil from Iraq? If the first war was about oil how much did the US get out of it? Are there any US companies working in Iraq now or since '91?
What companies could prosper from moving in to Iraq once it is "liberated"? (CUX?) Can anyone here help with some facts. It would be appreciated. I have been having an ongoing debate/arguement with a friend for some time now. Both of us have gone to our rooms with the promise of coming back with more facts.
TIA
