Iraq Ready to Invite Oil Company Bids
Posted by Tina Grazier
Oil production in Iraq is at its highest level since the US-led invasion of 2003, reaching 2.4 million barrels a day, thanks largely to improved security measures in the north. The country’s Oil Ministry will shortly invite international oil companies to bid for contracts to help Iraq to boost output at its investment-starved “super-giant” oilfields. – London Times
A few notes of clarification for our progressive friends:
1. Please notice that international oil companies will be INVITED to bid for contracts. Oil companies will not TAKE Iraqi oil.
2. Also notice production is way up. This means wealth and growth for this fledgling democracy. This is very good news for the people of Iraq…it’s OK to be happy for them.
3. I know it's too much to ask that you graciousy acknowledge the positive and great things we've done to help the Iraqi people, that would take a big person.
4. It's not necessary to tear your hair out.

But, but, I thought the war was all about oil and us getting our hands on it. You mean the libs and the media made that up?
