One of the architects for the Oil Law Mr. Tariq Shafiq, is very pessimistic on the passing of the law. Saying that Iraqi don’t know if there going to live the next day or not. The goal is to get to 2.5 million barrels a day by 2010 up from the current 1.5 million barrels a day as it currently stands if they don’t have any more problems with terror attacks against the oil pipelines and refineries.
PM Maliki said “we are now in a worse situation then a year ago”
The Ministry of Oil spokesman said “We hope the ratification of this law will be achieved in no more than one month from now.”
I have my doubts.

Update on Oil Law
More pressure on Maliki
If you remember last Dec 2006 Maliki said he really didn’t want to be the PM of Iraq and wanted to step down. It is possible he could very well get his wish. Especially if he keeps having visitors.
Admiral Fallon also said that Iraq’s Shiite-dominated Government had consolidated power and should have the confidence to reach out to its opponents. “You have the power,” he said. “You should take the initiative.”
Liberal Video about us Contractors
This is video is not unusual if you have the time to watch it. Phyllis Bennis is a left extreme liberal and I am shocked at myself that I watched the whole thing. Bennis throws the word Mercenary like no tomorrow. Unfortunately, she has got the meaning of Mercenary all wrong.
I am no mercenary as I love my country and still have my citizenship and passport and working for a prime contractor in the Middle East and Central Asia.
If you can stomach it then go ahead watch it.
You know it’s Gotta be Tough!!
When your top political advisor says:
“We hope to achieve some of them, but solving the Iraqi problems and resolving the different challenges in the [next] three months would need a miracle,” Rikabi said.

U.S. signaling Gulf states it will withdraw from region by 2009
This is interesting if the United States withdraws in 2009 as the article states then you have to ask yourself where are they going.
Maybe there going here! Minus the weapons.
I believe some are leaving but not all. The United States just signed a security agreement in Kurdistan. This means a nice piece of real estate. A large military base somewhere in Margaritaville.
Get the Picture
"we have every right to take measures against terrorist activities directed at us from northern Iraq."
If you substituted the word Turkey for the United States, is it not the same thing. After all we are on the same side right!!
Seven Turkish soldiers killed. 10 billion dollars in trade. Seven soldiers killed. You get the picture. Read the Article here.
