How to Denationalize Iraq's Oil Wealth

She wrote the most succinct paragraphs I have ever read regarding the real reasons why we are in Iraq in the New York Times editorial page on March 13. A chief executive of Chevron, speaking to a San Francisco audience, observed, "Iraq possesses huge reserves of oil and gas - reserves I'd love Chevron to have access to."
Antonia Juhasz vividly explained:
"A new oil law set to go before the Iraq Parliament this month if passed, goes a long way toward helping oil companies achieve their goal. The Iraq hydrocarbon law would take the majority of Iraq's oil out of the exclusive hands of the Iraqi government and open it to international oil companies for a generation or more."
Provisions of this amazing bill do not require foreign companies to invest their earnings in Iraq's economy or hire Iraqi workers, or even share new technologies.
Why hasn't this proposed Iraq hydrocarbon law dealing with details of how Iraq's great oil wealth is handled been revealed to the American public?
Will Iraqis lose out if their oil reserves are denationalized? Anyone who doesn't know the answer to that question should buy Antonia Juhasz's book, "The Bush Agenda." It tells it like it is!
