DU deep-sixed the OP about climate change, after just a couple hours, in favor of keeping up the stupid OP from The Onion? Why did someone do that??? Please see http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5369974

oil contracts were up for renewal several months ago. It seems to me that oil companies want protection so they can take the oil out of Iraq unimpeded. Right after the US was told to leave Iraq by the Maliki government oil contracts were NOT given to the US.

Contract renewals were later given to American oil companies. And the new American century people with Bush cronies spokespersons McCain and Graham are begging for the American Imperialists to re-infect Iraq to make sure those contracts are upheld.

Exon-Mobile made a contract with the Kurds in Kurdish area oil fields. That oil is sitting in a tank off the coast of Texas.

Oil Companies are trying to get the US to go in and stay in Iraq indefinitely to make sure IS and ISIS do not destroy the drilling and pipeline operations.

In 2009, Obama told oil companies to drill leases here in America (and now off the east coast) because America does not need ME Oil. Obama promised that a renewable energy would be the future. Let's see if Obama or Oil Companies protect oil company contracts in Iraq.
