Iraq Oil: The Vultures are Waiting

The oil majors met at the Iraq Oil, Gas, Petrochemical &
Electricity Summit from 2 – 4 September 2007 in Dubai to discuss
“the future of Iraq’s abundant energy resources.”
Attending were US puppets, described as “some of the most important
figures from Iraq’s energy sector.” Also attending were the waiting
vultures, BP, Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, Lukoil, Statoil,
Marathon Oil, Total, Shell, Kuwait National Petroleum, Annadarko,
Schlumberger, ABB, ONGC, General Electric, Cummins Power, Mitsui,
Aegis, ArmorGroup, Janussian, Control Risks Group, Unity, Hart,
Olive Security, GardaWorld and Triple Canopy.
The history of the Iraq Oil law is sordid. An outstanding article
by A.K. Gupta, The Great Iraq Heist, outlines the US imperial
ownership of Iraq via Bush Executive orders, through his Arch-
Deacon-of Hades, Paul Bremer.

Since March 2003, a series of executive orders by Bush, UN
documents, and regulations and orders issued by Iraqi Proconsol
Paul Bremer have put the U.S. in absolute control of the state of
Iraq, its oil industry and monies, all while lifting barriers to
repatriating profits . …
On the same day UN resolution 1483 passed, May 22, Bush signed
Executive Order 13303 granting blanket immunity to any U.S.
corporation dealing with Iraqi oil through 2007 . Researcher Jim
Vallette, who stumbled across the order in the Federal Register,
says it “unilaterally declares Iraqi oil to be the unassailable
province of U.S. corporations ... In other words, if ExxonMobil or
ChevronTexaco touch Iraqi oil, it will be immune from legal
proceedings in the United States.” …
So in a little more than two months the Bush administration staked
claim to and received UN approval to every significant asset and
resource Iraq has in the world, established sole power over how to
spend Iraq’s oil money, and indemnifies its corporate cronies from
liability.
One can thus see the urgency emanating from the White House
concerning “Benchmarks” – resulting in ‘troop surge,’ an Allawi (?)
coup, and various “reports” on the ‘situation in Iraq, all
differing but the main thrust being failure.
Index Research started documenting these developments, first in
March 2006, in PNAC: Rebuilding America's Defenses - A Biopsy on
Imperialism; Part II: "Special Interests" - The Persian Gulf
(07.03.06) . This included the vitally important Platform document
by Greg Muttitt, Crude Designs.
From this period on, mainstream media had no excuse to represent
the “sharing” Iraq oil agreement without also demonstrating that
Iraq actually had NO ‘share’ in her own oil. However, this omission
is exactly what happened - and frequently continues to happen.
Index Research continued to document the daily Iraq oil crisis as
the situation became more acute in The Iraq Oil Crunch: Index
Timeline , which tracks the drama through 12 May 2007.
The Iraqi parliament is said to be meeting again, after a month’s
recess, on Tuesday.
Appendix ONE follows the development of the oil crisis from 12 May
until the present moment, with oil companies and the US government
waiting for the kill. This desperate country, destroyed by the US
government with the help of "the coalition of the willing" deserves
its own oil. Now.
