Great questions, LuckyTheDog. I am frequently shocked at how the most verbal spouter's of the talking points are so ill informed!
gratuitous, asked about Iraqi oil down thread. I recently posted an excellent source of US oil information. In that thread, I had questions about Iraq Oil. My thread received very little discussion.
Here is the link to the data:

I was under the impression that Iraq was not producing/shipping much because obsolete equipment, sabotage, lack of security to correct the former, etc.
Therefore, I was really startled when I reviewed our Imports by Country. Iraqi imports for the first quarter of 2008 was a 42.99% increase over first quarter of 2007 with an average of 21,000 (Thousand Barrels) per month.
In context...for April 2008, we imported 43,867 from Saudi Arabia and 35,672 from Venezuela.
