Russia Today is mostly propaganda

As if CNN/NBC/CBS/MSNBC, et. al. aren't?

Mostly propaganda indeed. Russia and their buddy China are who have the Iraq oil contracts.

I was under the impression that U.S. oil companies didn’t get any of that Iraqi oil. I think the biggest player is China, followed by France.

I found a recent article in the NYTimes, which tries to say that the U.S. is the big beneficiary. But evidently Russia, China, and Europe are getting almost all the oil. Halliburton and a few American companies are doing some of the work on site, drilling and pumping.

No doubt the NYTimes is eager to keep pushing the “No blood for oil” mantra, so if anything they probably exaggerate U.S. interests. And Russia Today may be underplaying Russia’s involvement.

I won’t waste my time on any comments, other then to state the obvious. POTUS Barack Hussein Obama has, with his own design and destructive plans to destroy the American nation, has handed Iraq over to Iran In fact, that statement can be expanded to: POTUS Barack Hussein Obama has handed the entire Middle East & North Africa to his brethren in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the love of his heart, The Muslim Brotherhood. End of story!!! Yes, Americans, the truth sometimes hurts, but....the truth is still the truth!!!

Hey, the Obama Administration already has secured Iraqi oil. Obama looked the other way when the Iraqi oil agency granted most oil rights in Iraq to companies run or controlled by Red China. The US won’t get much oil from the new Iraq. We better approve that Keystone pipeline or we won’t even get oil from good neighbor Canada.

Thanks for posting this vid. It does bring up some interesting points.

With or without RT’s perspective or this envoy’s perspective, surely no one believes that we are absolutely withdrawing from Iraq.
