We're not leaving Iraq until they pass the "Oil Law." The "Oil Law" is shorthand for privatizing the oil industry (nationalized by the late Hussein) and awarding long term contracts, the profit margins of which are far in excess of standard oil contracts in that region, to American and British oil companies.
This is about the only provision on which the Bush administration and the Baker-Hamilton commission agree.

This is about the only provision on which the Republicans and the Democrats agree.

Everybody likes this part. What a coincidence!

(Except maybe Hussein. Let his fate be a lesson to any president who wants to nationalize American assets…or what should be American assets. Are you listening Hugo???)
