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!
