Privatizing Iraqi Oil? Iraq Study Group co-chair questioned Lee Hamilton, a co-chair of the Iraq Study Group, is asked about a provision in the ISG's findings that seems to advocate privatization of Iraqi oil assets and putting in the hands of international, likely Western, investors -- oil companies. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com Transcript: Husseini: Mr. Hamilton, can you clarify one of your recommendations, number 63, which called on the US to "assist the Iraqi leaders to reorganize the national oil industry as a commercial enterprise and to encourage investment in Iraq's oil sector by the international community and by international energy companies. Are you calling for some sort of privitization? Hamilton: Oil of course is the critical asset in Iraq. It furnishes a very large percentage of the GDP of Iraq. It furnishes a huge percentage of the total revenues of the government. We recommend many things with regard to the oil industry. I think there are as many recommendations on oil as any other feature of it, and you have to look at them as a package. Okay, thank you.

Iraqi oil law - Iraq study group oil aspects Small clip from democracy now about the oil aspects. Many leading Kurdish politicians were highly critical of the report, particularly its recommendation that the Iraqi central government should maintain tight control over the nation's oil revenues. Qubad Talabani, the Kurdistan representative in Washington and the son of Jalal Talbani, complained that "Many of us feel that centralized tyrannies have led us to what we have today, which is a failed state." Massoud Barzani, the president of the northern Iraqi Kurdistan region, offered similar criticisms, as did Kurdish lawmaker Mahmoud Othman.[24] Other Iraqis chastised the report for putting American interests over Iraqi interests and for linking issues in Iraq with the Arab-Israeli conflict. Sheik Mohammed Bashar al-Fayadh, a spokesman for the Association of Muslim Scholars, a Sunni Arab group said that the report "guarantees for an exit (from Iraq) but without paying heed to preventing a civil war from breaking out?" Abdul Aziz Hakim, a Shiite and leader of the largest bloc in Iraq's parliament, said that "the problem in Iraq (has) specifically nothing to do with the situation in the middle east today."[25] [edit] Criticism of proposal to privatize Iraqi oil Critics of ties between Iraq Study Group members and oil companies were highly critical of the report's recommendations to privatize the Iraqi oil industry. Author Antonia Juhasz argued that this recommendation amounted to a statement that this recommendation amounted to a call for "extending the war in Iraq to ensure that US oil companies get what the Bush administration went in there for: control and greater access to Iraq's oil."[26] Similarly, activist Tom Hayden noted that the Iraq Study Group represents the interests of the US oil industry. James A. Baker, III's law firm has interests in debt repayment to Kuwait and other Gulf States. Lawrence S. Eagleburger has ties to Halliburton and Phillips Petroleum, and is a former head of Kissinger Associates, a corporate consulting firm. (Paul Bremer was managing partner of Kissinger Associates.) Vernon E. Jordan, Jr. is a lawyer at Akin Gump who is closely associated with the Bilderberg Group. The expert working groups for the ISG include leaders of Bechtel, two representatives of Citigroup, and PFC Energy, an energy consulting firm Tags: Iraq oil democracy now war bush cheney amy goodman army fahluja corporation |
