Media casually mentioning the Iraq "Oil Sharing" law as a GOOD thing.

It'll be a shame if we have to pull out troops, says MSNBC, because Iraq is so close to meeting those wonderful "benchmarks." Benchmarks, you may recall, were once a terrible thing, but never mind that now. I'm just lovin' the Orwellian name they're using -- "Oil Sharing Law." SHARING? So, when a kid knocks down another kid in the schoolyard, beats the shit out of him and takes his lunch money, will he be able to tell the principal he was just practicing "Lunch Money Sharing?"

:eyes:

This is a big reason Bush can't/won't make a move yet...they haven't ratified his rape of Iraq's resources yet.

1. They confusing the issues.

People think this "sharing" is between the Shia, Sunni, and Kurds. If this law was to pass, I think they'll share 20% of the profits, Big Oil gets the rest. Probably only after the investments are paid off which will probably be never.
