just the conventional wisdom that is fed to a gullible public. I do not doubt that there are powerful people that want to keep the oil to themselves. However, I do not think the American public should accept that outcome. It does not belong to us. It belongs to the Iraqi people. We invaded that country when we shouldn't have. We have no moral position to stake in this invasion. Not on their oil or any other matter. Our continued presence will not make things better, in my opinion. We have made matters much worse in the last 6 years. We have created more terrorists - not less. The Iraqi oil production is at the same level as Saddam or lower. It is in our national interest to get out of Iraq as soon as possible, in my opinion.
