Big oil is back in Iraq, but trouble still brews for the empire

It was the oil, all along. The Times finally admits as 5 oil companies divide up Iraq's oil. After a long exile, Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total and BP are back in Iraq.

The dimshits that run/ruin our country were hoping to increase Iraq's oil production from 2.5 billion barrels to 6.5.(with the help of Exxon,BP, etc.) If that happened we'd be good oilwise/empire wise for another 30 -40 years.

But-surprise, surprise-Iraq oil production is still at 2.5 billion barrels and will be for quite a while with all the turmoil we created.

So, the best laid pipe dreams of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, assorted neo-cons are like the mythical Ozymandis--nothing, nada, gornicht...
