BAGHDAD — Iraqi oil production could double in five years, according to a new study. The report found that Iraq's oil reserves may be almost twice as much as previously estimated. The study by the U.S. consultancy IHS said another 100 billion barrels of oil reserves could be found in Iraq.
IHS said the estimate would rank Iraq as having the second largest reserves in the world, following Saudi Arabia. Currently, Iran has the second largest oil reserves in the world.
Has anyone ever thought of searching for a solution in the sea? perhaps a new source of fuel that we are not currently considering?
War for oil is justified when held by a bloodthirsty dictator. I also think the Iraq War is for more than oil. We had so many reasons to free Iraq but the Liberals wouldn’t accept any number of reasons to go to war. All they needed was to see one reason not pan out and they went apesh*t.
