Is the Iraq Oil Distribution Deal the U.S. Pressures Iraq to Sign a Rip-off? Email Print

Diogenes, in Greek mythology, searched in vain, with his lantern for one honest man in Ancient Greece.

I understand how Diogenes felt when I launched my search for one U.S. citizen who knew what the terms of the Iraq oil distribution contract are that the U.S. has been fighting to get the Iraqi government to sign.

Not one person I asked out of dozens over many weeks could tell me terms of this contract that is not being signed by Iraqis.  When I told these individuals the terms of this distribution Iraqi oil deal were, to a person they were disgusted, calling it totally unfair and unjust.  But they simply said they hadn't heard a thing about that contract Iraqis refuse to sign.

In the New York Times on Tuesday, March 13, 2007, these exact terms were presented in detail.  The war rages on and people are dying or wounded almost every day.  Why hasn't NBC's Brian William or CBS' Katie Kouric or ABC's Charles Gibson or CNN's Wolf Blitzer revealed this oil deal that so displeases the Iraq is that they won't sign it?  Could it be that blood is being spilled for oil?

Wait... There's more! (1 comment, 894 words in story)
