Iraqi Oil

Yahoo! News - Iraq producing average of 1.5 million barrels of oil a day

In response to Erik's question about who is the "Iraq" that's dealing with foreign oil companies, I learned that the Iraqi Oil Ministry is run by one Thamir Ghadhban. He was director of planning for the ministry before ascending to CEO position in May. But when it comes time to take credit for imperial spoils in barrels per day, the guy in front of the mic is Tribune Paul Bremer.

Oh Mama, history is not going to be kind to US about this shit. There's no operation of representative government in this because Iraqi oil is being pumped and sold by the US government, acting as an oil company. So I wonder if the bright and shiny Iraqi government, when its fully up and running, will sue a future American generation for reparations. Or am I missing something?
