CNPC of Communist China....isn't that rich?     In Iraq....hm...that's like Communists-In-Iraq, like when the

media, pentagon, and the RNC used the scream at us...AQ-In-Iraq.

Looks like the Republicans love communism more than ever the democratic party ever did.

Remember when Bush & Co. said if you were not invited into the war and played a part you could not participate in Iraqi oilfields.....I know 2001 was decades ago and laughing, but we seemed always reminded of 9/11-Bring-It-On Sideshow (no, not the deaths...the misdirection).

I am laughing my butt off..not only did Bush rushed us to bankruptcy (1 selection, 1 stolen election),

that 4, 600 died (approx) and 30,000 injured (approx.) plus of our children did their bidding for their goals

....ha ha ha...in other words we got played for being suckers and....

they are not getting the ownership of the oilfields...well do ya think "Mr President" Vice President is on

the phone as soon as he heard the news...can you say Blackwater?  I knew ya could....give it 6 weeks...

Reporting today's news....AYZ Minister of Oil National Riches died of an apparent "suicide" today...

and in other news...

ya...they are going learn...probably "old school" way.

The Iraqi Oil Ministry is just plain incompetent. It doesn't help that Shahristani is a nuclear physicist with no experience in the oil industry. None of his plans have worked. If his past is any reference, then its likely he will cancel this entire round of bidding, maybe sign one or two other contracts if possible, and then go on to something else. musingsoniraq.blogspot.com
