Mission Accomplished: Big Oil to sign Iraq deals soon Big Oil's big dreams are close to coming true as Iraq's Oil Ministry prepares deals for the country's largest oil fields. MarketWatch reports executives from BP and Shell were to meet with Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani following Wednesday's meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Abu Dhabi. Shahristani in a recent interview with United Press International, said he's moving forward with oil deals despite the lack of a new national oil law, a draft of which has been stalled in negotiations for more than a year. The world's largest oil companies are keen on entering Iraq, as their own booked reserves decline and a growing bulk of global reserves are under nationalized systems. Oil company officials met with U.S. officials, including Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney, prior to the war and since, to discuss contracts for Iraq's oil. Former top officials of the companies were tasked by the U.S.-led occupation with advising the Oil Ministry.

Cheney has worked hard to get Iraq's oil he might be surprised that his deal might not come true. Yes their close but notice how Iran is moving forward with China. Look for the Iraq leaders to turn their policy around and leave the US out of the loop. As the Middle Eastern countries join together things will chance quickly. The Brits will be home for Christmas and they wont return to Iraq. Japan will be leaving at the first of the year. Putin is grooming his puppet and doing a good job at it.
