OK, allthough I take exception of being called a Communist. I'll assume you do not understand what "occupying power" means or "public property" or "public assets only for the benefit of Iraq and the Iraqi people" or "seizure by U.S. military forces"

What specific "CITIZEN" of Iraq will own the oil ?

Who will give it to him or her and by what authority ?

Rockefellers ? How did they get our "public property" ?

The way it works YOU TOAD! Is the assets are leased to development companies via a bid process. We will administer this in as fair a way as possible. The $ for the leases go into the Iraq govt. coffers.(which we will also establish with international approval and help)

This process will gradually revert to total Iraqi control as the government takes shape and we get our asses out of there!

There is no "our". Private citizens, yes even rich ones, exchange property according to commercial law.
That's how capitalism works. "Our" land, meaning government controlled land
is in keeping for Welfare reasons. Electricity, transportation, resources, etc. The remainder is owned
by private citizens who can do most anything they damn well please. Regardless how wealthy they are.
See. That's how capitalism works.
