A group of Democratic senators led by Charles E. Schumer of New York is appealing...to block a set of contentious no-bid oil contracts that Iraq has decided to award to the Western oil giants Exxon Mobil, Shell, Total and BP.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Let's see here...

1. Iraq is a sovereign country.

2. Shell is a Dutch-British concern, BP is British, Total is French. Only Exxon Mobil is American.

Just exactly how did the U.S. Senate gain jurisdiction in this matter?

They all have offices and sell inside the US so the idiot Schumer is against it. The Rats will do whatever it takes for them to destroy the US and Iraq.
