Yes, America, was the BLOOD and TREASURE worth the REASON you invaded Iraq because you are GOING TO SEE NONE OF IT!
"Al Qaeda.... moved into the country after the United States invaded and removed Saddam Hussein from power"
Gee, that is NOT the way Bush, Cheney, Rice, and Rumsfeld made it sound!!!!
Yup, SEVEN YEARS LATER we get the HALF-TRUTH buried three-quarters of the way in an unrelated piece from the s***ty AmeriKan MSM!
What I mean, readers, is that Al Qaeda doesn't even exist.
I mean there is no Al Qaeda!

"Iraqi government reaches deals with 10 oil companies" by Ernesto Londono, Washington Post | December 13, 2009
BAGHDAD - Despite concerns about violence and political instability, the Iraqi government managed to attract major oil companies to rebuild its ailing infrastructure during two auctions that concluded yesterday.
The 10 deals the Iraqi Oil Ministry reached with foreign oil companies suggest that China, Russia, and European oil firms are poised to play a major role in refurbishing Iraq’s oil industry, crippled by decades of war and sanctions.
American companies walked away with stakes in just two of the 10 auctioned fields. Seven American companies had paid to participate in the second auction, which began Friday. The only one that submitted a bid lost. Two American companies reached deals for fields auctioned in June.
The meager representation of American oil giants in Iraq’s opening oil industry surprised analysts.
But NOT ME!!!
WAKE UP, America!!
You are HATED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD -- even by your OWN PUPPETS!
“Iraq finally opened its doors after six years of war, and instead of US companies, you have Asians and Europeans leading the way,’’ said Ruba Husari, the editor of Iraq Oil Forum, an online news outlet. “It will be a long time before anything else will be on offer in Iraq.’’
Concerns over security, underscored by massive coordinated bombings Tuesday, and political instability as the US military withdraws, probably kept American oil companies from venturing more forcefully in Iraq, which has the world’s third-largest proven crude reserves, analysts said.
Yeah, right, the conditions in Iraq after Bush's surge success were not good enough for American oil companies, right. But the WIMPY EUROPEANS and the ASIANS are willing to take the chance, yup!!!
You are NOT REALLY GOING to BUY that LAME-ASS PILE of SOUR GRAPES SHIT, are you, America?
And IF TRUE, then BUSH'S SURGE FAILED and the MSM HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT IT ALL THIS TIME -- just as they have LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE regarding Iraq!
US firms were in some cases at a disadvantage because rivals, particularly the Chinese and other government controlled energy firms, have markedly lower labor costs and are more prone to take risks because they don’t respond to shareholders.
Yeah, right!! This is the BIGGEST CROCK of EQUIVOCATING MSM SHIT I have ever seen!!!
Did you PERFUME and BOW this turd before you submitted it for publication, WaPo?
Ooooooooh, THAT EXPLAINS IT!
Remember, readers, the Washington Post is the CIA 's newspaper.

What, Mr. Fart F*** a hypocrite?
Major US firms such as
Russian companies Lukoil and Gazprom were the top stakeholders in two of the contracts awarded this weekend. State-owned Chinese National Petroleum Corp. bid on more contracts than any other company and walked away with large stakes in contracts for two major fields.
“We all know that China is on track to become a major economic as well as technological power,’’ Oil Ministry spokesman Assam Jihad said. “We feel confident that the Chinese company will be on par with its competitors and will deliver on its commitments towards Iraq.’’
*****************************
The 20-year service contracts are potentially highly profitable for international energy companies that have been shut out of other major markets.
Yeah, but American companies wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
Not like they ever cared about profits, huh, Americans?
They also position the companies to play major roles in Iraq if and when the government opens up its policies on foreign investment.
And, of course, the U.S. would NOT BE INTERESTED in THAT, either!!
So WHY the HELL did we INVADE THEM, America?!!
Because ISRAEL TOLD US TO, huh?
And so we could have a MIDDLE EAST BASE for POWER PROJECTION!
But the oil companies are taking significant risks. Iraqi lawmakers have failed to agree on a hydrocarbons law, and leading lawmakers have called the deals illegal. They could face legal and contractual obstacles when a new government is established next year.
Yeah, the American companies are HOPING with their FINGERS CROSSED!!!
This weekend’s auction was more successful than the one in June, when the ministry awarded only one contract out of the 10 on the auction block.
And that was the one where American companies won the contracts.
I guess the protest refrain "No Blood For Oil" is a FALSE CHARGE, America, because YOU DONATED the BLOOD but are getting NONE of the OIL!!!!!!
Of the 10 fields up for grabs in the second round, the ministry awarded seven contracts to consortia of companies. The most closely watched field auctioned this weekend, Majnoon, in southern Iraq, went to a consortium made up of
--more--"
So, WAS IT WORTH IT, America?
