American Oil companies offered five million dollars to each Iraqi MP to pass the Oil law

Reported today on Akhbar Alkhaleej news­pa­per [link updated]

An Iraqi MP pre­ferred to remain anony­mous told the news­pa­per that highly con­fi­den­tial nego­ti­a­tions took place by rep­re­sen­ta­tives from Amer­i­can oil com­pa­nies, offer­ing $5 mil­lion to each MP who votes in favor of the Oil and Gas law.

The amount that could be paid to pass the votes do not exceed $150 mil­lion dol­lars in the case of $5 mil­lion to each MP, point­ing out that the Oil law requires 138 votes to pass, which the Amer­i­cans want to guar­an­tee in many ways, includ­ing vote-buying, intim­i­da­tion and threats!

Focus­ing on the heads of par­lia­men­tary blocs and influ­en­tial fig­ures in the par­lia­ment to ensure the votes, the Amer­i­cans guar­an­teed the Kur­dish votes in advance but they are seek­ing enough votes to pass and approve the law as soon as possible.

    Ah, all you peo­ple who don’t believe this report, take a look at the prof­its just announced by Royal Dutch Shell, 32 billion.

    Of course they would bribe, do you brain dead Repub­li­cans even doubt this???????????????

    I only doubt it was 5 mil­lion, I would hold out for dou­ble that. Its a bar­gain to the oil com­pa­nies, what with Iraq sit­ting on huge amounts of oil reserves.

    Wake up people.…look at hal­libur­tons stock price. In 2000 it was $9, now its 10 x that much. Coin­ci­dence? or the fact that Cheney wanted this war?

    Dear Camel Jock­eys,
    All of the con­spir­acy the­o­ries from the great­est minds the desert can give rise to,NOW HEAR THIS:
    If the west wanted the oil,the west would have the oil.
    As demon­strated against the “Best army in the mid­dle east” Amer­i­cas army squashed them quickly,Continue with your idi­otic sui­cide bomb­ings and piss us off enough and one day you might wake up to a pretty mush­room in the sky.
    Sui­cide bombings.…if you mani­acs are that eager to die,why take the time to strap on a bomb? Put a gun to your head your nasty hairy curry smelling vir­gins are wait­ing. Go now.

    There used to be 40 mil­lion peo­ple in Iraq before the US under Bush/Cheney killed 1 mil­lion and dis­placed 1.2 of the rest.
    So, assume 20,000,000 Iraqis in Iraq.

    The US is destroy­ing $3,000,000,000,000 on its Iraq stupidity.

    That’s $3,000,000/20 or $150,000,000 per Iraqi.

    So 5 mil­lion per rep­re­sen­ta­tive is very cheap!

    SHAME ON BUSH/CHENEY AND THE REPUBLICAN KILLERS AND JINGOISTS WHO HAVE DONE THIS!

    AS AN AMERICAN, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THEM.
    HOW CAN WE EXPECT THOSE THE US HAS KILLED TO
    FORGIVE!
