I would just like to know when we will be getting our hands on Iraqi oil. I thought cheaper oil was on the way once Saddam was kicked out. What's the holdup guys?

We probably don't want it to look as if we invaded Iraq to take their oil. (/sarcasm)

They don't have any electricity in Iraq, to run anything.

"We" were never meant to get our hands on Iraqi oil. The war was actually supposed to be funded by the sale of Iraqi oil.....laughable, but true. When the Islamic morons stop blowing up various pipelines in Iraq, more of that oil will be made available for the open market. But then we don't have the refinery capacity anyway... so it would make little difference.

I don't know why you believed that myth in the first place. The war was not about Iraqi oil.

Oil is worthless without refineries.
